Never felt like I was getting scammed. Normal, down to earth people who do you right. When we were ready to purchase the vehicle they had everything ready for us so it only took minutes to get the details worked out. If you're looking for a new car, check Zarate's first!

Would not trust with a single $1. Buy with EXTREME CAUTION and don't believe a single word they…read moresay. I bought an Opel from this dealership at their Tampa location and was told everything was in working order and was drivable. It was NOT in working order and the driving video shared was apparently from many months prior. First of all, they got the year wrong on the paperwork, which meant all of the paperwork had to be redone. I told them I would sign the new paperwork when I arrived in a week and a half time. After badgering me everyday for days to sign the updated paperwork remotely (should have been a big red flag, but I thought I could trust these guys), I signed the updated paperwork. They were clearly badgering me to sign the updated paperwork because the car was far from drivable. There was a MAJOR leak coming from the fuel tank (gushing ounces of fuel a second) AND a carburetor fuel leak, constantly dripping fuel inches from the exhaust header. Far from drivable. On top of this, they had to cold start the engine with starting fluid directly to the carburetor (likely also related to the carburetor leak issue, but sorting through that at the moment). Now when buying a classic car, I expect to have to do some work. I'm not complaining about the following, but would have appreciated being aware of these before buying - the headlights didn't work; one brake light was out; the aftermarket alarm for the car didn't work; there were some exterior and interior blemishes that conveniently weren't captured in various picture angles (I actually think some photos were doctored looking back at the picture, but obviously hard to prove)... These alone are annoying, but all of them are expected in buying a 50+ year-old classic car. What is NOT expected is to show up to a dealership expecting to drive a car away for them to have to start a car with starting fluid and when they add fuel, have that fuel pouring out of the bottom of the gas tank. Even if those were fixed, fuel dripping onto the exhaust headers is a recipe for highway disaster. I talked with the corporate team who felt this was an appropriate way to deal with customers. No redressability or accountability!

Everything was clean and as exactly as what was described. Worth 10/10

We've done major repairs, minor repairs and normal car maintenance with them and we'll be lifetime customers. We ended up purchasing our last vehicle from Steve because we know he'll stand behind it. They are honest, kind, compassionate and will work with you to solve any issue within your budget. With our truck, he was really honest about what was worth fixing and what wasn't. With my van, he's always treated me no different than he does my husband, which isn't typical with car dealers/shops and women. I'm glad a friend recommended them. When we needed a third vehicle, we knew he'd be our first stop. You just don't find places like this anymore.

My conscience is clear now.

I do my own car cleaning but it was clear that I needed professional attention at this point to get rid of build up. Beto is easily accessible by phone and text for setting up appointments. $180 for complete interior detailing. Oscar came out this morning, asked if I was ready early or if he needed to wait until the appointment time and since I was ready to go he got started sooner. He was so nice and professional, definitely hustled, and did an AMAZING job on my car. Looks brand new inside. He even dealt with some spilled coolant in my backseat from a bottle that I kept back there. He was just awesome, efficient, thorough, and friendly and was done in about 2 hours. I will not hesitate to call them again for another detailing.
