Great place to buy your car no hassle no stress wonderful people definitely will be going back

Great prices, no pressure, no unnecessary texts or calls, excellent and prompt follow-up after the sale for a minor issue that came up.

Always a pleasure working with SE, no BS, no BS Fees. In and out in less than 1 hour (including test driving several SUV's) They even paid for the lug lock key when it was missing when purchased. Enjoying my 4Runner. Thanks guys! read more

Southeast Car Agency - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

From the moment we drove into the lot you could tell that this was going to be a different experience. We were greeted by Chase & we would work with him. I had seen a car on their website we were interested in & Chase pulled it up for us to take a test drive. We ended up buying the car and have NEVER had a smoother experience than we had at Southeast Car Agency! read more

Couldn't have asked for a better car buying experience. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable and there's no haggling or bulls*** dealer fees. I was pre-approved by my credit union, so after finding the car I wanted it literally took like 15 minutes to do all the paperwork. This is legit the only used car place I would trust in Gainesville. read more

Great people! Chase and Niko were nice and professional. The older gentleman was the same way. I just didn't catch his name. No tricks or gimmicks, the process was straightforward and fair compared to the other dealership my family and I went to. Will for sure come again in the future. Thank you guys! read more

I went to Southeast Car Agency and was so pleasantly surprised with such an alternative to the normal car buying experience everyone talks about. They were straightforward, pleasant and accommodating. They didn't have the cars in their inventory that met all my check boxes, though they had a great selection. I would have been happy to purchase from them based on my experience. read more

We recently had our first SECARS purchasing experience. A+ Bob and Tom Cousins remind me of my hometown quality car brothers at Vlist Motors in Port Orchard, WA. Honest Cars at a Honest Price. No haggle. No pressure. We found the car we want on the lot. If you do not find what you want and are not in a hurry, let them know what you want and they will find it. The only upsale done is an option for a third party drivetrain warranty with an option for bumper to bumper. Say yes or no, there is absolutely zero pressure or side-eye either way. Family owned. Locally owned. We will be going back, most likely with a special request for finding our next car. read more

The best dealer around. Purchase a new truck with Justin. Great customer service. This is our second purchase from SE Cars and it will not be the last. Love the no hassle from here. Great atmosphere. Husband loves his truck!! read more

Southeast Car Agency - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Very easy and smooth car buying experience. No "dealer fee" surprises. A great ride for $5K less than I could find a similar vehicle elsewhere in town. Really, the convenience was great. Eric held the car for me while I drove there since he knew I was coming from a distance. They had the van ready for me when I got there. I test drove it. They checked out my trade, which had some issues that I told them about up front, and they offered me a good value on the trade. Deal. They transferred my plate and everything was smooth and easy. The best part about this: No kidding, from the time I showed up on the lot, to the time I was in my almost new Grand Caravan driving out of there, was 62 minutes. That included a test drive and everything. I can't believe this just happened. I'm a busy guy, and this saved me a ton of time. No "good cop bad cop" routine. No hidden dealer fees after they trick you in the door. Great price. Great car. Great trade value. Smooth process. Lightning fast. I see why these guys get tons of 5 star reviews. I'd give them 10 if I could. read more

When I recently purchased a Jeep Cherokee, Southeast Car Agency lived up to its stellar reputation. John, Tom and the rest of the SCA team were a pleasure to deal with and the process and pricing were transparent, giving me confidence the price was fair. I will definitely return. read more

When you get into a car accident, there's always the initial pain of "oh sh*t"...the expense of crashing, insurance, injuries, potentially police are all a headache...but then you have to go and purchase a new car. Expensive, stressful, time-sensitive, and usually a pain in the butt. Not here. Unlike literally any car lot I've ever been to, there's no haggling! No one strying to pull one over on you or force you into a purchase you don't want or need, and no hidden fees! They list all their prices for you, and the price they show is the price you pay (taxes and fees not included obviously). They even handle registration for you! It's so easy and pain free. The staff were all so kind and polite, very apologetic for any time we had to wait and the cars are all in great condition. While I'm still dealing with the insurance claim with the guy who hit and totaled my car, I was able to (in the course of one day) select a car, purchase, and register it with no problems whatsoever. Also, the vehicles are clean, and really reasonably priced! Loving my GMC terrain and loving this small but wonderful business in the heart of Gainesville! No buyer beware here :) read more

This agency is the best I have ever worked with. They are honest and very trustworthy. It is family owned w fair pricing and quality vehicles. No haggle just great vehicles at great prices. Highly recommend read more

After crashing my car, being on the phone with insurance all day the following day, then working a night shift, the last thing I wanted to do was go car shopping. I had heard great things about Southeast and decided to just go look, as I had to work again that night & was exhausted. Within an hour and a half, I was walking out with my new car! Chase greeted me, asked what I was interested in, gave me the keys and told me to take it for a drive- on my own! Allowed me to look at it, uninterrupted and under no pressure, whatsoever. I went back in and asked to start the paperwork (because it was a deal I couldn't pass up) and after filling out one paper & him typing in the info, maybe 20 seconds later I had approval for financing & we started the signing of the official papers! He also advised me of different warranty options without being pushy, and the best one they had was still a great deal, in my opinion! I didn't want a brand new vehicle after learning the lesson of value depreciation with my last one, so I will definitely be using Southeast for any future vehicle purchases! By the way- have you ever seen a 2013 (five year old) vehicle look so sharp and flawless? With just over 20,000 miles? I didn't even care about the year, because it was even better to me than the 2016 I thought I would be interested in. All the bells and whistles for around $12,000. Can't beat it. read more

See all

I've bought three cars here. There isn't another place around North Florida that I would buy a car from. These guys are so relaxed, so willing to help you, and if you start buying all your cars from them you are like family. This is a no pressure dealer. Come - drive - leave. No BS. Forget the big dealers and all the garbage that they will put you through. Go see Tom & the crew and get a good car at a good price and drive away with a smile on your face. I've bought three fantastic cars through SECars and plan on doing it again. read more

Now on our 2nd car from South East Car Agency. This one being a 2013 with 5000 miles on it, the last being a 2008 with 6000 miles on it. Eric and the staff are wonderful to deal with. We stopped buying new many years ago. Let someone else take the depreciation hit. Wonderful experience read more

My husband and I purchased a car from Southeast Car Agency, and will continue to do so as long as they are in business. Truly the best "no-pressure" dealership out there. They were very easy to deal with, accommodated every need we had (my husband bought the car without me there, and I had to go later to sign the title, tags, etc). I would heartily recommend them to anyone, friends, family, or strangers... to go deal with Southeast Car Agency. As I will continue to do so, myself. read more

What an awesome experience. Bought a car from this agency last Saturday and they were all more than helpful. They let us take the car for a test drive on our own. Never had this happen before. We also test drove two other cars the same way. No haggle price was awesome. I was dreading having to haggle. Best part, no dealer fees! We did our research beforehand and knew we were getting a great deal. Thank you! read more

I really appreciate the staff of this car agency. As a healthcare professional in a pandemic it is difficult to see what is happening with the eWorld today in this difficult time. It is great to get a glimpse of a normal life about to unfold. In this difficult time we need essential products one of these being an automobile that is trustworthy. My friends at southeast car agency always step up to plate for stellar customer service. I don't know if it is the no stress atmosphere or the realizing that you will be getting award winning customer service when purchasing your second biggest purchase since your home. I recently purchased an Audi Q7 from these professionals. This is my second purchase with than and I will never go anywhere else. They stand behind there product and conduct a safe and friendly professional environment in this difficult time. Please go see them for your automotive needs. You will never be disappointed! Take it from me!!!! Chase in sales and the owners are the best and they treat you with such respect and appreciation. I am a VA employee and time is of essence. In and out service and they stand behind there product . Go for the reputation! read more

Southeast Car Agency - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I hate shopping with a passion. I hate shopping for clothes, I order a lot of groceries from Amazon, and I don't even like having to call restaurants on the phone when ordering my takeout. So you can imagine how I felt about the idea of shopping for a car. However, the experience that I had at Southeast Car Agency this past Saturday was surprisingly pleasant. We walked in, they gave us their inventory list, and let us wander the lot in peace. The employees (I hesitate to call them "salesmen", because I learned that they do not work on commission) hardly even wandered into the lot area, so there was none of that awkward "hovering". They were quick to provide assistance when we were ready to go on a test drive, but didn't put any pressure on us when we returned. At that point, I decided that I didn't want to visit any other dealership! The purchasing process was also painless; they gave me a great trade in offer for my car and secured a solid financing plan. At no point did they try to up sell me into anything unnecessary. Once I drove home in my newer vehicle, I had one of those "Wait, did that actually happen?" kind of moments...because everything was so damn easy. read more

We just purchased another vehicle from Southeast car Agency. Tom and Niko were both amazing. They assisted us in finding the perfect premium sports sedan with very low mileage on it. They delivered the perfect vehicle, as promised. This family owned and operated business is the best in town. A place where a handshake and mans word still mean something. We saved a ton of money by trusting Southeast Car Agency with our business!!! read more

I bought the first car while I was in Gaineville and the second, after I moved to Palm Coast. The drive back to Gainesville for my second car was worth it. Both times Steve Small was the sales person. He gave me an excellent orientation to my cars of interest both times. The second car had some fancy electronics and Steve helped me set up my phone by Bluetooth. He went the extra mile The agency has a wonderful reputation and my experiences support that reputation. There is no pressure and the quality of both the cars and the service is outstanding. read more

This non-affiliated car dealership is one of my favorite places to recommend to family & friends. I've been in the car biz for 30+ years in Gainesville. They are fair priced, honest & dependable. They always do what's right for their guests. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another vehicle from them. My relationship with Southeast Car Agency spans over 20 years and it's a wonderful family owned dealership. read more

I've purchased two used cars from Southeast and the experience was great. Unlike some other dealerships where the smarmy sales guy insists on driving you around during the test drive and then blabs the whole time, at Southeast you just tell them which car you're interested in and they throw you the keys. No pressure, no hassle and their prices are the best you'll find. I'll definitely go there again for my next car. read more

I have purchased two vehicles and my family has purchased multiple vehicles from SE Car Agency over the past ten years. I love that there is no haggling and the guys will work with you. I found a car I wanted but my husband was out of town and they agreed to hold it with a down payment for almost a week until my husband got back. We will most definitely come back here when we want another vehicle. read more

The buying experience was second to none. Quick, easy, and fair with absolutely no pressure. The Cousin brothers went above and beyond to accommodate a request I made. They not only were able to fulfill my request but they went a step further (at their own cost) even though I told them it was not necessary. I would highly recommend Southeast to anyone looking to buy a vehicle at a fair price with no hassle. read more

These guys are great, second car was purchased from them, Jared is great, I'll continue to give him, and Southeast Car Agency our business for years to come! read more

DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE GUYS!!!!!! I bought my Mercedes there since they had the best price and ''options I wanted'' my sales man was Ryan and i also dealt with Chase which was more helpfull than my actual salesman Ryan.....I tried to negotiate the price with Ryan and was told to buy elsewhere and not waste his time.. when asked for specific options i was told that it had every option it was avaliable.. my biggest thing was Xennon headlights which i was told it had....i bought it and had it shipped...when the car came it did have scrathes which i was told it didnt....the Navigation was broken ( iwas told everything worked) and my 50k Mercedes did not come with xennon headlights!!! which was my biggest thing for me...i made a mistake dealing with these guys but please consider spending little more money and buy elsewhere where you are getting what you are paying for!!!! read more

I bought a car from them a week ago and it was a wonderful experience. The car was well below book value. There was no BS. They let us test drive by ourselves. They even threw in floor mats from an identical model since the one we were interested in didn't have any. I know a few other people that have purchased vehicles from them and they have had the same experience. I will definitely look to them when it comes time to purchase another vehicle. read more

My family has purchased cars from here in the past and will continue to do so. This is a great family owned and operated company. I highly recommend! read more

Southeast Car Agency is a breeze to visit compared to the "you-must-buy-this-right-now" vibe of most car dealerships. The salesmen are very chill, you can browse their selection without being harassed, and they have some really good deals. I really like that you can test drive cars without a salesman. It allows you to try the car out/feel free to discuss it honestly with your partner without that awkward "third wheel" in the backseat giving a long list of facts about the car or asking you about your pets in an attempt to form a "relationship." This place is, in a word, great. We have not bought from them, yet, as my boyfriend is still trying to decide which car he wants, but we have had several friends buy cars from SECA and they rave about the place. I can see why. They are right on the money. I liked the experience and would suggest checking this place out if you are looking for a new set of wheels. You may just find a great deal! read more

I absolutely hate buying cars almost as much as going to the dentist. I went to Southeast Car Agency mainly because I've heard numerous friends and strangers talking positively about their experience there. I went looking for a Jeep Compass in the 2014-2015 range. I walked in and was greeted with a smile and a handshake. They asked what vehicles I was interested in and went to pull them up front. The next thing I know they're handing me the keys and insisting I drive the vehicle as long as I like. The salespeople don't try to sell you the vehicle. They don't even talk to you unless you have questions. I test drove a few cars and decided which one I wanted. I came back later that evening and purchased the vehicle in about 2 total hours and left with the vehicle tagged and registered. What an amazing experience. The price of the vehicle is set so no negotiation necessary. Every car dealership should model themselves after Southeast. read more

Cars look great on the lot. After about a week scratches appear everywhere and the leather polish wears off and you have cracked leather seats and a scratched up car. They have a great detail department at covering stuff up. But they seem to sell a lot of cars. read more

Systems, efficiency, and effective business make this the best dealership I have ever been to. This place is awesome. The site is navigable, they answer the phone, there is no pressure, the team is all terrific. There is zero pressure, zero games, and no haggling. This truly is how the automobile business should be run. They will also find vehicles for you if you are looking for something specific. If you want a vehicle that has low miles, there is no reason to go anywhere else ever. read more

Several friends had recommended SEcars to me and it was a great buying experience. No pressure, and they let you take the car out on your own to test drive (take it into your mechanic at that time). I will buy all my cars from here! read more
