As a concerned citizen and advocate for consumer protection, I feel compelled to speak out about a…read moretroubling experience involving AutoNation Toyota in Pinellas Park is located at:8501 US Highway 19 NorthPinellas Park, FL 33781. A young single mother, raising a son with muscular dystrophy, reportedly spent $10,000 on a vehicle that became inoperable within just two weeks. When she returned seeking assistance, she was allegedly told she would need to pay an additional $4,000 for another vehicle rather than receiving meaningful support or accountability. This story, now circulating on TikTok, raises serious questions about ethical business practices and the treatment of vulnerable consumers. Businesses that serve the public have a responsibility to operate with transparency, fairness, and integrity--especially when dealing with families already facing significant challenges. Rather than responding with hostility, the community should focus on lawful and constructive action: documenting complaints, reporting concerns to consumer protection agencies, organizing peaceful demonstrations if appropriate, and encouraging public awareness so others can make informed decisions. Accountability is essential in maintaining trust within any community.

Repeat customers are the surest sign that the company treats its customers well! We bought a beautiful old BMW convertible and it is a great pleasure to drive. We chose the hard-top convertible so we could drive w the top down when we're cruising up or down Gulf Blvd in the barrier islands. They were giving the car its final detailing & discovered the front brakes were worn and a tire had a nail in it near the rim where it can't be repaired. They installed new front brakes & new tires before they'd release the car to us. We had already paid for it, yet they didn't charge us extra for these fixes. That's commitment to their stated business principles!! We'll definitely be back. They say what they mean, and mean what they say. Straight dealing. How refreshing!! Nice folks, too, a pleasure to work with!

We traded our vehicle with one from Genuine Motorcars. Their ad indicated that their vehicle was…read more"certified" and in excellent condition. We dealt with the owner, Jim DiGuiseppe, who also assured us that their vehicle was inspected and there were absolutely no issues with it! Being out of state, we purchased their vehicle based their assurances - a big mistake! Before shipping our trade vehicle to them, we had it detailed, filled the gas tank, and included all the receipts and documents with our car. However, they didn't even put enough fuel in their car so we could drive it to a gas station after picking it up! On the way to get fuel, the car died due to lack of fuel, stranding us! The owner told us that he had a buyer for our car and we agreed to the trade at over $40,000 loss. Upon receiving our vehicle, it was listed on the dealer's site for sale at $10,000 over what was given to us in trade! A total misrepresentation! Regardless, we hope that they'll be able to profit from selling our vehicle. We immediately noticed many issues with the vehicle: altered and inoperative speedometer, missing keys, missing the wind deflector and missing battery charger. Old engine oil, broken dipstick neck, clogged air filters, bald tires, damaged wheels, severe shakes, numerous rattles, and etc. We brought all these to the owner's (Jim DiGuiseppe) attention immediately. He promised that he would look for the missing keys, but he never provided them! Later, he refused to accept any responsibility claiming that he sold the car "AS IS"! He also accused us with trying to coerce him to compensate us in exchange for a good review! All we asked him was if he would cover some of the unexpected and hidden repairs so we wouldn't include them in this review. Photos of the speedometer and the tire attached. So far we have spent over $4,300 and anticipate to spend another almost $16,000, totaling over $20,000 on the car that the dealership and the owner, Jim DiGuiseppe, claimed to be certified and in perfect condition! We are planning to file a complaint with the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Dealer Services. No dealership should be able to sell a vehicle with dangerous and unsafe tires and altered speedometer, among other issues! These are what we have spent so far on their supposedly perfect vehicle! - Replacing the missing keys; $ $1,752. - Repairing 3 wheels; $ 420. - Balancing the wheels $88. - Tires; $757. - Alignment $250. - Oil/filter change: $550. - Air filters: $200. - Missing battery Charger, $210. - Battery connector cable: $94. - Dipstick neck: $18. Ongoing anticipated repairs and replacements: - Wind deflector: $8,083. - Instrument cluster:$6,720, plus $975 labor. - Checking and correcting door rattles by removing door panels: $800 to $1,200. - Other possible issues... To the future buyers from Genuine Motorcars, do not take their words and their ads about the condition of their vehicles! UPDATE: The dealer responded that the car was inspected and not an "AS IS" vehicle!, coming with engine and drive train warranty. We had no problem with drivetrain or engine. If the car was actually inspected, how could they have possibly missed the bald tires and stuck speedometer? We immediately sent the photos of the above to the dealer, but Jim DiGuiseppe's response was that the car was sold "AS IS" and refused to accept any liabilities! Why would anyone replace good tires and clean engine oil, or repair good wheels, cause rattles, and replace clean air filters? If he actually paid for inspection, he should demand a refund. We have receipts for all these and other repairs and replacements. Please see the photos we sent him right after the purchase showing a bald tire and the speedometer stuck on 60 mph when the car is parked! We have purchase many vehicles from out of state. However, we never had any issues with any of them except with our last purchase from this dealership, Genuine Motorcars and the dishonest owner/manager Jim DiGuiseppe. They clearly sold us a LEMON for over $116,000!

Sadly it was a very poor experience. Worst first impression I have had in a long time…read more Crown and Mercedes-Benz corporate should be made aware what a disgrace this service department is. As a first time Mercedes-Benz owner I expected so much more from thier "badge". These dealerships and service departments represent that badge and much maintain the high degree of of customer service and support to maintain their superior luxury status and image. I wrote an email with the multiple problems I encountered on my first visit. I got a voice mail at the end of the work day and called back the following morning. I never heard back from them again. So its quite apparent they do not value new customers. This is not a good team to do business with. Beware my Mercedes-Benz friends.
