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.

This dad was thrilled with the treatment of my daughter by the dealer and comforted that she can return anytime for advice and service. Thanks

And I ended up riding it home. My purchasing experience was simple and I drove away happy with the deal I'd made. Although their sales methods have changed a bit, since that time I've purchased 5 more vehicles and referred many friends and colleagues. The fact that there is no pressure, the price is clearly marked on the vehicles, and they stand behind their word is priceless. They are very pleasant to deal with and quick to complete the paperwork. Their detail crew is friendly and meticulous and have always left me with a vehicle I'm proud to ride around in. There's a white-haired salesman there now that is very knowledgeable and helpful and always makes sure I know what my options are. He's never pressured me, but allows me to take the vehicle for a spin alone so I can be sure it's exactly what I want before I buy. I love the NO PRESSURE SALES METHODS at Tomlinson! I will definitely purchase my next vehicle here!

They were actually in the car already! I highly recommend this dealer.

The core of the staff was the same group that helped me years ago, and the whole team seemed to enjoy working together to help me get into the best car for me. From their helpful website I had already picked the car I wanted, and I was able to research its history from the Carfax info right on their website. Both times they gave me any info I wanted, but NO PRESSURE at all. Four dealerships in Gainesville had the car I wanted, same year, similar miles, so I could really compare. Magic Imports was $1,500 - 2,000 lower than everyone else, AND great and friendly service too! We've bought cars at some of the bigger dealerships, spent HOURS and my wife and I said at the end, "We should have just walked away - they added so much that we weren't expecting." NOT SO at Magic Imports - no bad surprises, just very helpful, smooth, fair dealing. I've been telling all my friends to go to them if they're looking for a great, fair deal on a used car!!

HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH Gainesville GMC- SAFETY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE NEGLIGENCE…read more I never thought I'd have to make a post like this, but my recent experience with Gainesville GMC has left me shaken and deeply concerned. I took my vehicle to this dealership, trusting that I'd receive high-quality service. Instead, what I got was pure negligence that could have cost me my life and endangered countless others. The dealership failed to properly secure my tire during service and do a proper oil change. Simple and routine maintenance on any vehicle. As a result, the tire studs was stripped along the sides unknowingly and eventually completely fell off my car while I was driving down the road. The damage to my rim and the situation itself were terrifying. The thought of what could have happened--to me or others on the road--still haunts me. This is not the level of service anyone would expect, especially from a dealership. What's even more disappointing is how this was handled afterward. Barely an apology with all the "fixing" to ensure things right to be utterly false. I was even misled about the service supposedly being done both times "correctly"--when clearly, it was not. I'm sharing this to warn others about this dealership and their shocking disregard for basic safety standards. I've attached photos of the damage so you can see just how serious this situation was. If you're considering using Gainesville GMC for your vehicle, think twice. This level of negligence is unacceptable, and I hope no one else has to endure such a traumatic experience.

He went to Paul West to get a car because their dealership caters to people with low and/or no credit and low income. Within 40 days, his touchscreen didn't work, his air stop working, and today his car won't even crank. Since we've had so many issues in such a short time, I didn't think it was being unfair to ask for his $3000 down payment back, and return the car. Mr. West again asked for a chance to fix the car. He refuse to give the money back, insisting that we allow him a chance to fix it. Unfortunately, we will have to take legal action as he did not take the opportunity to see what was wrong with it when it came to his lot. My son has lost wages, been stranded, and expected to ride around in a hot car in Florida during the summer (without no regards to how he has been inconvenienced). If you are looking to make a purchase with this dealer, be sure to have legal representation, as if you really need a car it may work against you especially if you aren't financially able to acquire legal services.

These guys are so helpful and awesome to work with. As a single female it's really difficult going into a dealership without feeling like they are ripping you off, but HONESTY is one of their main traits here. Jack was beyond helpful with the process of selecting a car and so patient with me as I test drove multiple. The actual process of purchasing the vehicle was SO easy as they have a finance department on premises. Mike was great at finding me the best financing deal and genuinely cared about helping me reach the price point I was aiming for. I can not recommend them enough!

The set of keys I was given had a key tag that said 2 of 2 on them. After buying a BMW X.3 for nearly 20 grand I had to negotiate a new key fob that cost me $200 as well. This is not Customer Service in my book. When I know purchasing a used vehicle there is 1500 to 2000 profit for the dealer.

When they first opened, I figured they were on their best behavior and in fact both sales and service were a pleasure to deal with. I fully expected that as the years progressed their standards would slip somewhat. They didn't. In fact, dealing with Audi Gainesville just got better and better. I am now on my 4th Audi, 3 from Audi Gainesville. Here are the high points: 1. I live in Tallahassee and was hesitant at first to buy a car from a dealership halfway down the State. But Audis are great cars and Tallahassee has no Audi dealership. I found that servicing the car(s) was easier than having a hometown dealer. Gainesville Audi will drive up a brand new Audi for your use and drive yours to the shop in Gainesville. Once repaired or serviced, your car is driven back to your driveway and the loaner taken back. The cost...zero (except maybe you should consider a real nice tip for the driver). 2. I buy my cars based heavily on the strength of the service department. This dealership has one of the best I've ever dealt with. They are competent, friendly, and never once suggested an unnecessary repair or maintenance item. I don't know where they found this service team, but it is a pleasure to deal with them and even though I am skeptical by nature, they have more than earned my trust. 3. Buying the car couldn't be easier. No significant dealer packs and even at the height of the pandemic, none of their cars sold over MSRP (unlike many other dealers). 4. "My" salesman is very knowledgeable about these cars. He is always available to teach me about the features of this car.. 5. The car I bought from them most recently is fairly rare in the US. My salesman located a beautiful example. As this model was selling for a price well over MSRP, I prepared myself to bite the bullet and pay the premium. They wouldn't sell over MSRP however and in addition I got a great deal. Needless to say, my undying gratitude. Hands down, best dealership I've ever dealt with.
