I came into Bill Currie Ford originally looking at a Mustang, and while the numbers just didn't…read moreline up for me personally, that had nothing to do with Anthony Mateo -- he did everything he could to make it work. We then looked at an Explorer lease, and again, the numbers weren't quite where I needed them to be, but that was on me, not him. What really stood out was how Anthony handled the whole process. We talked for about 4 hours total, and he answered every question we had without any pressure or pushy sales tactics. He brought back solid offers that, honestly, I probably should have taken -- I was just being indecisive. He was patient and understanding the whole time, even when I couldn't make up my mind. If you're looking for a salesman who's easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and not pushy, ask for Anthony Mateo. Highly recommend.

So many issues: 1) Deceptive lowball advertizing. Beware the * where they will try to upcharge you for rebates that no one is eligible for or that can not be combined. "Reconditioning fees" "Certification fees" "Bill Currie Advantage" which lists stuff Ford gives for free (like oil changes). Unnecessary add ons, like a cutrate GPS "system" when provides Ford Pass for free. 2) Both new car and used car prep work never done, denied, done incorrectly, overcharged, or after long delays. I can provide dozens of examples. 3) Systematic payroll shortages that are almost impossible to get corrected. You have to beg for a "washout" that shows what you were paid on, riddled with errors. So much so I believe it is a profit center. This is one of the reasons for the huge turnover in sales and service. 3) Hundreds, if not a few thousand of their positive reviews are fake or coerced. I've heard "We have to bury" some more negative reviews. 4) Here's a great example below. They are self insured. After changing surgeons and hospitals because USF didn't want to tell me it would be accepted, I ended up with the shortage below for skin cancer surgery. Mind you there was supposed to be a $6000 max out of pocket that I had already paid over $11000 up front in order to get service. 5) An incredibly toxic work environment, full of MAGA favoritism.

Kamil is the reason I'll be a returning customer!…read more I truly cannot say enough great things about my experience with Kamil! I came in expecting an incredibly stressful process, feeling overwhelmed with trying to make the best decision for my needs.. From start to finish, Kamil was patient, knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely dedicated to helping me find the right vehicle. He completely exceeded my expectations. What stood out most was his kindness and the way he treated me throughout the process. I never felt like just another sale. He took the time to answer my questions, explain my options, and make sure I felt comfortable with my decision. His professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile (including working on his day off) made a stressful situation so much easier. Kamil earned not only my trust, but also my future business. That kind of customer service is rare, and it deserves to be recognized. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, personable, and truly cares about the customer experience, ask for Kamil! Again, thank you, Kamil, for making this experience such a positive one. You are an asset to your team, and I hope your management recognizes the value you bring to your customers. I'll absolutely be recommending you to others!

I…read moreworked directly with Ken, the online salesperson, and clearly communicated the payment range and financing structure I needed before arriving at the dealership. Unfortunately, my credit was run before any numbers were presented to me. The initial terms presented were not aligned with what we discussed, but after negotiation, we reached what I believed was an acceptable agreement. The real issue began after the sale. Nearly three weeks later, I began receiving overdue notices from Jeep regarding my traded-in lease vehicle. I contacted the dealership multiple times and was repeatedly assured by the finance department that the payoff had been sent. After a month of being told "it will be paid," I escalated the matter to the finance manager, Elliot. I was given an explanation about internal payment system changes and assured the matter would be handled immediately. Elliot even provided his personal cell phone number and promised to overnight a payoff check on Friday. The check was not sent Friday as promised. After following up again Monday and receiving no response, I was left on read. On Tuesday, 2/24/2026, I was finally sent a copy of the overnight check that had been mailed that same day -- not the previous Friday as stated. Jeep received and signed for the check on 2/25/2026; however, they informed me it would take up to five business days to process. This delay placed me at risk of being reported late and sent to collections. I am 47 years old and have never had a late payment reported on my credit. To protect my credit history, I was forced to make the Jeep payment myself -- despite not having possession of that vehicle since 1/12/2026. I am now required to wait up to 30 days for reimbursement. This situation reflects extremely poor communication, lack of urgency, and unprofessional handling of a straightforward lease payoff. Customers should not have to chase a dealership for weeks to ensure a traded vehicle is paid off, nor should they be placed at risk of credit damage because of internal disorganization. I strongly encourage anyone trading in a leased vehicle to NOT work with this dealership.

Danny and team were great with communication. I dropped my car off and was given a call when estimates were available, and I was able to review everything online before signing off on the work. They applied the best deals (you can check the website and ask for specials, but the team working with me automatically applied them), and I didn't feel pressured to add on anything unnecessary.

A wonderful parts employee at another Toyota dealership searched Toyota's dealer inventory system for me and discovered that Gettel Stadium Toyota in Tampa showed one remaining in inventory. When I called, I was fortunate enough to speak with Jose. He confirmed that they actually had the part! After so many unsuccessful searches and canceled orders, I could hardly believe it. Jose then patiently walked me through how to find the part on their website and even stayed on the phone with me while I looked for the correct parts page. When the website showed the part as unavailable, Jose didn't simply tell me there was nothing he could do. He knew the part was there, so he graciously agreed to take my order over the phone and arrange to have it shipped to me by UPS. What may have seemed like just another Toyota part to someone else meant so much to me because of how difficult this particular part has been to find. Jose understood that and took the extra time necessary to make sure I could purchase it. Customer service like this deserves to be recognized. Jose was patient, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely interested in helping me. Gettel Stadium Toyota is very fortunate to have him in their Parts Department. Thank you so much, Jose, for helping bring a very long search to an end. I truly appreciate everything you did for me and will remember your kindness for a long time. Five stars without hesitation! I can't thank you enough, Rachelle Stewart

I'm located in…read moreSavannah, GA, about five hours from Tampa, and I was searching for a specific used car that I found online at the Infiniti dealership in Tampa. On Sunday, I received a call from a gentleman who asked a few questions about my inquiries. He mentioned that my requests seemed reasonable and that a salesman would reach out on Monday. That Monday morning, Adam called, and I knew right away that this would be a great experience. We completed the entire process via text, just as I had requested. He provided a quote for my current vehicle after I sent a few pictures and videos, offering me exactly what I was looking for as a trade-in. Adam presented a quote that I was very pleased with, and we were able to complete the credit application online. At 7 PM on Tuesday (New Year's Eve), I informed him that I wanted to move forward with the deal, and he had everything ready for us to pick up the car the next day by noon. The car was completely detailed, and the finance guy was prepared--we were in and out in less than 90 minutes! Crazy, huh?! It was seriously the best car-buying experience I've ever had--quick and easy. Adam was professional and attentive throughout the process. The dealership itself was modern, clean, and open, with high ceilings. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Infiniti of Tampa to anyone looking for a luxury experience when purchasing a luxury vehicle! Thanks again, Adam!

They delivered this beautiful car to me, the transaction was smooth and easy, until... I didn't get my second key. "We will ship it to you tomorrow". I have called, emailed multiple times, "Oh the parts department is closed, we will send it tomorrow". I have literally had the car for a month. I paid for a brand new car, including the 2nd key. What frustrates me is why they would take such a great experience and turn it into such a negative one. No key, no email, no return phone call, now I am just mad! Send me my second key or the $750 to buy and program one. Seriously, how stupid to do this to a customer who was so happy with this transaction, until now. As they say, treat somebody right they will tell a friend or two. Treat them wrong, they will tell ten (or the world as the case may be). Everything is my opinion, but if customer service is important to you, maybe go elsewhere!

Very professional, very personal - everyone in that office greeted me, whether they were working with me or not. I spoke with at least three of the guys for at least 15mins. Not just about the deal either, but they struck up engaging conversation, and they had a great sense of humor. They weren't haggling me. They seemed like they really wanted to help. It wasn't just about getting the money. I wanted to walk out with the car that day, and they wanted the same thing. We all made it happen. I would recommend this location and these guys to anyone. I'm so glad that I decided to go with them instead of the dealership. No haggling for prices, they work with you and they really want the best experience.

I have been a customer of Toyota of Tampa Bay since 2013, and happy until my last interaction,…read morewhich was a purchase of a 2026 bZ. I bought my first car from them in 2013, a Camry. The salesman, Alan Brodsky, was excellent. He was informative and helped with a military discount. No wonder that he was perpetually their salesman of the year. My second purchase from them was replacement Camry in 2023. Alan had retired, but a woman who had worked with him was my salesperson and seemed to work in Alan's style, low pressure and helpful. In the last week of May 2026, I brought my 2023 Camry in for a free car wash. While I was waiting, the woman who had been my salesperson in 2023 came by and said hello. TBH, I didn't recognize her, but my memory isn't so good after age 70. I told her that I was just here for a wash, but was thinking about an electric car replacement for my wife's Subaru 2016, since we had just gotten solar panels on our home. She showed me bZ and I asked if I wanted to drive it. As my Camry was not out of the wash yet, I said sure and went for a drive. Then they wanted to sit down and sell it to me. I said no, I was just here for a car wash and just was talking while waiting for the car to get washed. Also, I would have to consult with my wife since it's would be her car, and I don't even know if she wants to give up the Subaru. They asked me if I wanted to drive the car to my home and have my wife look at it and drive it. I called her, got her OK, and I said OK. She did like the car. Then we came back and again the pressure was really high to buy it right then. I told them that I didn't research this at all. Normally prior to buying a car I would look at reviews, find the dealer's invoice price, find trade-in values for the Subaru, and when my research was all done, I would come in in the last day of the month, which is when dealerships bargain the most. Despite all that, the next thing I know I was in the room with the person to do the sale. Perhaps I could describe her as a very effective salesperson. Or, someone who was took advantage of a 73-year-old whose judgment and executive function may not be as good as it used to be. I never knew what the dealer's invoice price was. I didn't know until later what the Subaru trade-in would be on Edmunds or Kelly Blue Book. When I walked out, I couldn't have told you what the cost of the car was that I just purchased. Normally there are some negotiations back and forth, and the salesperson has to go back to the manager in the rear. The only such thing was her asking if there was anything she could do that would sweeten the deal. I said how about extending the warranty on my 2023. She said she'd never heard of extending the warranty on a different car then the one being purchased, but the manager approved it. We never talked about invoice prices or military discount. All in all, I'm happy with the car but just not happy with the sales experience On another issue, the bZ has a lot of display options. I think that Toyota should have an expert in operating the car sit down with you for 20 minutes and go through important operating issues. Of course, it's all in the manual. But it's a big manual. One of the things that they should have warned you about, but didn't, is that a Li-ion battery should not be charged to 100% routinely. Just like in cell phones, which tells you that you should charge only to 80% most of the time to maximize battery life, the charge on the traction battery should be kept between 20% and 80%, except for the occasional long trip where you need to charge it to 100%. This is not noted prominently anywhere. I research it online. I called the Toyota service department and they had no idea if limiting the charging to 80% was recommended, nor how to limit the charging. I found it in the manual and you can set the charge limit to 80% or whatever you want. They need to have somebody sit down and take you through the car everything from charging issues like this, to adjusting the height of the tailgate, to customizing the seat and mirror positions to the two drivers using both facial recognition or keys.

My experience with Toyota of Tampa Bay was absolutely unacceptable. The entire car- buying process…read morefelt deceptive and extremely shady. My 80-year-old stepfather, Tom. a Vietnam combat veteran, handled all of the negotiations. I only signed the paperwork because I trusted that everything had been honestly disclosed to him. Afterward, I discovered that an almost $3,000 Premium Protection Plus (PPP) package had been bundled into the vehicle price.This was an optional product yet it was never clearly disclosed during negotiations. Had we known, we would have negotiated completely differently and may never have purchased the vehicle. The vehicle also had multiple areas of damage. When I filed my BBB complaint, Carly McCall, Executive Assistant, told me the dealership knew about damage before selling me the vehicle, that it had not been certified, and that the damage was supposed to be repaired before the sale. I have filed complaints with the BBB and FLHSMV and am looking into additional complaints regarding the treatment of an 80-year-old Vietnam combat veteran. This is not how an honest dealership should conduct business. Customers deserve transparency- not hidden optional products and vehicles sold before known issues are properly addressed. I strongly caution anyone considering Toyota of Tampa Bay.

I called the service department five times to check if my car was ready, trying three different extensions, but no one answered. I eventually drove to the dealership just to get an update and asked why no one was answering the phones. I was then informed that the window tint couldn't be completed due to the weather and that it would be finished the following day. Because of that, I had to keep my rental car for an extra day at my own expense. The next day, I called three more times, again with no answer, and left messages. I finally received a call in the middle of the afternoon saying my car was ready. When I arrived, however, the windows still had not been tinted. My biggest frustration wasn't the delay--it was the lack of communication. A simple phone call or update would have saved me time, an extra day of rental car, and a lot of frustration.
