Vladamir was my service coordinator today for 2021 Rav4 for my yearly oil change and safety check before I drive to Seattle. He was also my service coordinator last year. His attention to detail and ability to get my warranty issue take care of very quickly was very appreciated. I will request him again. read more

As a concerned citizen and advocate for consumer protection, I feel compelled to speak out about a troubling 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. read more

I had a horrible experience here purchasing a misrepresented (Gold Certified Used) car that has left me questioning the dealership's honesty and integrity. Fortunately for future buyers, the matter is now in the expert hands of several agencies so Autonation Toyota of Pinellas Park will soon be receiving all the ATTENTION THEY DESERVE! Sincerely, Gold Certified B*tch read more

I took my son's Prius in for a broken side mirror and basic maintenance. They were through and quick with great communication. Much prefer them to Clearwater Toyota. Worth the extra 15 minute drive! read more

Was in the market for a used, low mileage SUV. Stopped in to Autonation Pinellas to see what was available. Was shown a vehicle that matched most of my requirements. After a test drive I decided to make a purchase. I must comment that Autonation Pinellas Toyota has innovative, creative sales/financing/service procedures; with top shelf professionals. Bottom line; dealership sold me a vehicle that had the features I needed. Can I recommend this business?? no. I will say this to anyone reading this review; expect state of the art, memorable experience at this dealership. You may receive the best buying experience of your life there. The overall experience did not work for me, it just might work for you read more

The worst Toyota dealership that I have ever been to in the US. Sales people ignore you after they make sale and their managers are useless after you purchase a car from them. They are trained to lie. read more

Everything! The service department is the worst in the country!! the sales people are pushy and rude............. I wouldn't do business with this company ever again.!! read more

Employees were nice. The car they said they had wasn't there, somewhere else. Then proceeded to switch me to something else. There for two hours and my Land Cruiser wasn't even looked at yet. What a hoax. Then emailed the sales manager to let him know what happened and where the car was. Crickets read more

Overall experience was very positive end-to-end. From the sales process with Carla and Jim, finalizing the deal in the Finance office with Derick, and the follow-up for parts ordered with Dylan. The start of partnership. Thank you guys! My wife even gave Carla a Thank you card on pick up. read more

AutoNation Toyota Pinellas Park - .... And they lived happily ever after! - Car Dealers Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

Run, don't walk, away from here. After making the mistake of contacting them about selling my car and receiving a low ball offer, I sold my car elsewhere. I messaged my sales person that my car was sold and they acknowledged that. And yet, three weeks later, I'm still receivIng spam calls and messages in spite of blocking every number. read more

I've been a loyal customer at AutoNation Toyota for almost 2 decades. High quality work and the exemplary customer service have kept me coming back. In past years, Hope, and in recent years, Vladimir, have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks AutoNation! read more

I had my buddy take time out his own busy day after work to take my tacoma for an oil change before it gets driven up to me in Charleston because im stationed at the naval base. It took over 3 hours to do a 20 min oil change and kept making excuses and saying its almost done. took his whole day from him just for doing my a favor, horrible service, liars do not use them at all, stay away! read more

I have not used the services of this place is 7 years! If I had this Yelp account in 2018, it would be fill with all the negative experiences I've had with this place from 3 hour wait times when I've been told half the time. To times I've been told I never made an appointment when they keep booking me by my middle name James. So why am I here now living in the state of Washington giving a dealer ship in Pinellas Park Florida a 1 star review. Because after not being here in 7 year and idiot named Autumn thought it would be a great time to call me at 6am to book a future appointment. Like seriously? Why is there a back log this far back especially when I never had a good encounter from you guys? The only good thing out of this phone call is it finally allows me to leave you a 1 star review you guys truly deserve! read more

High pressure to buy vehicles that you do not want, finally gives in but at prices 10% higher. Be careful, other dealers will give better prices without pressure to buy what you do not want!!! read more

This may be the worst experience buying a car I've ever had in all of my 68 years on this planet. The sales person, Brie, was outstanding, the business guy was very good, but the process was a cluster f$@€. The car I wanted was at their Fort Myers store and it took 2 hours just to get someone to put hands on the car and say it was available. The whole process took over 4 hours. And I was paying with a trade in and CASH! After buying the car I found a better deal for a newer car, same model, Crown, at another dealership so I cancelled this purchase at AutoNation. Doing so wasn't difficulty. But then they kept sending me emails and texts about the purchase as if I made it. Thanked me for bringing it in for service. Asked me to review the experience. All after I had cancelled, legally, the purchase. And then when I out a stop payment on the check I wrote, these dumb MFers referred me to a collection agency for a "bad check" for a car I never even saw or put hands on. The only bright spots were Brie/Brittany, who had to sit with me for hours waiting for a simple answer - is the car there and available? This may be the worst dealership of all time. Go to Gettel Stadium in Tampa and skip this incompetent one. read more

Run! Waited 4 hours at a 740am appt to be told several more hours. For a Highlander dropping transmission at 120k miles. Toyota is Ford or worse now. Dont allow appointments you cant keep. RuN​ from any Autonation - same thing in Winter Park at Autonation Toyota. read more

I had this:: This may be the worst dealership experience I have ever had, which is saying something. I called about a used Porsche Boxter they had just gotten onto their lot. I got a written out the door price quote emailed to me. I was prepared to put down a deposit and told I was first in line to do so. I was told I needed to wait until the next business day to put down the deposit. Unfortunately, the next business day they told me they had spoken with "corporate" and adjusted the price of the Boxter UP by $5k. The kicker is over the phone they told me it was a "no negotiation dealership" and "the price you see is the price you get." I guess the "no negotiation" only goes one way - buyers can't negotiate down, but the dealer can increase the price by almost 20% on a whim. Congratulations so salesman Erjon and used car manager John for losing a sale and a customer. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone and I will never shop at an AutoNation again. read more

The worse experienc! I just wanted to look at Toyota SUV's under $40K. Apparently you can not walk around and just look. They have to pull a specific vehicle. Very pushy and rude sales people who want you to sign on the dotted line just to look to see if there is anything you like. read more

Don't trust the so called business managers. They will shove papers in your face to sign after you say you only wanted the Tire package. He will add additional packages with charges of over $1900 added to your purchase price of the vehicle. Management will shuffle you around and not take your calls. Avoid this dealership if you want honest customer service. I will never buy a car from Autonation dealerships. Beware you have been warned. read more

Horrible Service Experience!!!! I emailed the General Manager (Chafik Amrani) previously but they never replied. I brought my 2024 Tacoma in for 2 recalls on 11/24/2025. The next day my girlfriend drove to Tampa. On her return trip she noticed the brakes were not responding as normal. A few minutes later a warning light came on stating "low break pressure". I called the service department and reported the warning light. I was told that " I needed to bring in the truck so it can be looked at". When I brought the truck in I had to push the break pedal to the floor just to stop. I was advised by a technician and the service manager "Chad" (I think that is his name) that when the recalled soft brake line was replaced the hard break line was cracked. The truck was unsafe to drive. I was leaving for Georgia early the next day. The truck is our only vehicle. I was given a loaner but I was told by "Rocky" that rentals can not be driven out of state. I had to cancel our Thanksgiving plans. On Wednesday morning I was notified the truck was fixed. I was told that this time a Master mechanic worked on my truck and the issue was the soft break line was either installed incorrectly or it was faulty. I had asked to have my truck on a lift so I could make sure all of the break fluid was cleaned off. "Chad" stated that I would be able to look underneath the truck. When I got there my truck was just driven out. When I asked about looking underneath the truck Chad instructed me to get down on the floor and I can see underneath. He did offer to put it on a lift but I had wasted enough time at your dealership. The fact that they have unqualified technicians working for them is the reason I will never buy, sell, or have my truck serviced at Auto Nation Pinellas Park. They had many chances to correct this but I was repeatedly just told "we are sorry". read more

Until very recently, I would often recommend AutoNation to friends and family who were considering buying a used car. Not any more. I recently purchased a 2023 Toyota Camry from AutoNation Toyota in Pinellas Park, Florida. When I test drove the car, the AutoNation told me, my wife, and my son that the car had new tires. They didn't. My mechanic showed me that one of the tires had a bubble in it and told me I needed new tires. When I brought this to the attention of the representative who sold me the car--in a certified letter--he ignored me. Since then, he has never responded to my complaint. I think representatives of AutoNation should be more responsive and should tell the truth. Dennis McGreen read more

I cannot overstate how disappointing our experience has been with AutoNation. My father purchased a brand new vehicle, and within four days (with only 77 miles on the odometer), the car experienced a major failure. Since then, the vehicle has been sitting in the service department for 13 days, way longer than he was even able to use it. Initially, the salesperson made it seem like this situation would be made right, implying a replacement could be an option. However, when the manager stepped in, my dad was told that getting into a different vehicle would cost an additional $10,000, which is completely unacceptable for a defective brand-new car. What's even more frustrating is the complete lack of communication: The salesperson has ignored all follow-up emails Customer service has also failed to respond This is not a minor issue. this is a major failure on a brand-new vehicle just days after purchase, and the way it's being handled is unacceptable. If anyone else is dealing with similar issues or has advice, feel free to reach out: autonationfail@gmail.com read more

I purchased a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 from AutoNation Toyota on October 28, and the experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Before buying, I told the sales rep that I live in Orlando and work in Sanford. He assured me that this was not an issue and that I could return the vehicle within five days or 250 miles if anything went wrong. Within the first 24 hours, the check engine light came on. When I tried to return the truck, the AutoNation near me refused to help and told me I had to drive it all the way back to Pinellas. After doing exactly that, I was suddenly told I could not return it due to mileage--even though it had only been one day. They claimed to have done $5,000 worth of repairs, but most of the charges were for minor things like wipers and cleaning. They kept the truck for two weeks, and less than a week after getting it back, the check engine light came on again. I've been lied to, misled, and ignored by management throughout this entire process. Because of the ongoing engine issues and the dealership's dishonesty, I do not feel safe driving this vehicle or putting my employees in it. I paid over $28,000 cash and have had the truck in my possession for only a few days while spending more money on rentals and losing business income. This entire experience has been unprofessional, stressful, and unacceptable. The only bright spot in this whole stressful endeavor was that I purchased the extended engine warranty, not knowing what I was getting into and now I'm losing more time and money daily having a rental that they provided. I strongly urge anyone considering this dealership to stay far away. And that whatever you do make sure you get warranty because of this. CAMZ INVESTMENTZ LLC read more

When a 20 year old female goes to the service department and they harass her to sell her car, I consider that inappropriate. They kept trying to buy the car even before she could explain what service she needed. Then they call her 2 hours after the service and try to buy it again!!! I call the dealership and speak to Jim the sales manager to get them to stop bothering my daughter and he is rude to me!!! Don't recommend this dealership! read more

Here again, need a basic oil change and apparently needed software update for my truck infotainment system. No biggie, but they didn't tell me had to get engineers from Toyota to fly over to install software. 4 hrs later and still haven't gotten oil change and still sitting in the waiting area. Made appointment ahead of time and my service advisor is ignoring me even tho never gave her any disrespect. Also several times I been here, no one knows how to update customer service records to have the right phone number. They keep calling someone else with updates. Award winning customer service. Wish Toyota would teach this location about reputation. read more

Be careful what you buy. Toyota is manufacturing defective paint vehicles and not committing to fixing them. I own a 2022 Toyota Tacoma truck that is only 2 1/2 years old and still under factory warranty. A defective paint issue has been identified by Toyota for certain model years and specifically their white color. Contacting Toyota directly about the issue I was told several different explanations on the problem being covered and not covered. There was no solution with Toyota customer care directly. Contacting the specific dealership about Toyota's paint defect where I purchased the vehicle, Pinellas Park Toyota Auto Nation, and it has now been a month and a half with no resolution and only a denial of my warranty claim. I was originally told paint issues were not covered under my factory warranty. Then, they changed their minds. Now, I have no commitment to correcting what is clearly a paint defect in the vehicle after a few months of being told to just call back and check. The notice I was not sent in the mail is attached to this review. I can tell you not all affected vehicles with the Toyota paint defect are being contacted as I am one of them that never received the notice Toyota gave me when I inquired about the problem. There is supposedly a database of affected paint defect vehicles. I was told because my VIN was not on it currently that it would not be covered. Under factory warranty, they have also now denied my claim. The truck only has a little over 20k miles on it. Auto Nation Toyota Pinellas Park just tells me they are not responsible and it is a Toyota problem. Because they are a representative for Toyota and do work under recalls and warranty, they are the line of communication to Toyota for me as a consumer. Be careful before purchasing a Toyota from Pinellas Park Auto Nation. They are not interested in ensuring customer satisfaction and standing behind Toyota manufacturing. They only want to sell you a vehicle and be done with it. I would also be cautious in Toyota Auto Nation Pinellas Park honoring any extended warranty you buy. This paint defect is a much bigger story with Toyota vehicles as I am under the impression Toyota and its dealership are trying to keep the paint defect issue as quiet as they can to limit the costs associated with the problem. Look for another vehicle to buy other than a Toyota. Spending close to 40k on a truck that falls apart under a factory warranty for defective paint and is not covered isn't acceptable as a consumer. Moreover, it isn't a chance anyone should take with the ever-increasing prices of new vehicles. read more

OUT OF STATE BUYERS - Absolutely do not buy from this dealership. They will not help you get a title issued to register your new vehicle in another State. Its been almost 2 months since we bought a vehicle and they still haven't created a title, which prevents us from getting it registered and a license plate. I've communicated with them on how to proceed but they just stopped responding to my emails and phone calls. NOT ACCEPTABLE! I'll be contacting the BBB and file a complaint. read more

Jaden Feaster !! Best rep ever ~ took care of everything A-Z! Will definitely consider buying from him again

From the start, Ali was incredibly nice and honest. He was thoughtful and really listened to my needs and preferences. We test drove multiple cars and he never made me feel rushed. Every promise he made, he kept and he was a great guy to do business with. I am a longtime Toyota/Scion buyer. I have owned many Toyota from other dealerships and none of them were as well priced or as easy to buy as this one. I had went to four other Toyota Dealerships while shopping for my Corolla and chose Autonation because the deals were by far the best, the warranty they offer is the best, and the staff was by far the most professional and kind of any dealership I've been to. They offered me twice the amount for my trade-in than SunToyota and Toyota of Tampa Bay. I cannot recommend this dealership enough. They are a bright spot in an industry where it's hard to know who to trust and get the best deal. read more

Had an incredibly smooth time buying a Jeep Grand Cherokee here all online and flying into the state to pick it up. Gregory Schwartz was a great rep to work with and kept things honest like I asked for, but I have to give major props to Mike the service manager. That man needs a raise. He went above and beyond to fix any repairable items on the car I asked for and had recorded in the "I owe you" from seeing the car in person, including coordinating the shipment of an entire infotainment replacement system to my address up in Virginia. They also did do an oil change but didn't reset the computer, so I did one at home. I brought this up to Mike and got a balance and alignment done at no cost to compensate, Absolutely AMAZING service. The manager was also very helpful working with me in another state to keep things easy and make the deal happen. No gimmicks, no games, just an honest sale and great price. Highly recommend this joint!! read more

They couldn't find out what was wrong with my car. Charged me $2400 and it still wasn't fixed. AutoZone noticed coolant in the oil. Noticed i had a leak somewhere. Automation changed my oil and never noticed the coolant in the oil. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dylan Schreiber - he facilitated a fun, low stress, and VIP experience! Highly recommend asking for him!!

I was recently in an accident and ended up losing my car, I decided to try and be cheap and got my car off a lot. After a month of me having that car I was told I needed to replace the whole engine. After that nightmare i decided to go to Toyota and see what I could do, I was short on cash because I had just gotten my other car. They made sure to take the time and work with me, making sure I stayed in my budget. I would truly come back for every car I need they made sure I understood everything that I was getting in to, I truly appreciate the time they took to take care of me!! Carla Piovezan is an angel!!! read more

When it took over 7 months to repair a porche FOB that we were told was to be replaced which it was by their key service person that used a mimic(China) knock off. Oh it gets better, they did not believe us and first said the battery they replaced, then excuses, then excuses, then their key/FOB jokster they use and perhaps know for low cutting cost replaced with a knock off. Long story short given my VA nurse daughter got the run around they finally after 7 months agreed take to the porche dealership, so indeed that's when we found out a knock off and yes after 7months they paid the replacement. My point is I thought big name companies were not a pay and thank you sorry but we got your cash and well not sure if we can help you, but again we have your money for your porche so bye bye. They really thought we were going to go away, well they assumed wrong. Bottom line STAY AWAY from this dealership. This was just a FOB, what if it was something worse than that!! read more

* Avoid this place at all costs if possible! Service after the Sale is horrific to say the least! Bought vehicle 2wks ago, 2nd day noticed chips in windshield top left corner. Not visible from drivers perspective spoke to sales person told No Problem will take care of next week. Visited dealership next week advised waiting on Manger approvals ? 3rd week brought vehicle back to dealership. sales person took vehicle and back 45min later... Told vehicle Good to Go. THREE chips in windshield still present & told that's all we can do?? And advised to go thru my insurance! For a vehicle bought 3 wks ago?? This place would much rather put the customer through hoops then do the right thing by its customers I would never buy a car from AutoNation Pinellas Park Toyota! read more

As a first time car buyer my experience here was wonderful and I have definitely been recommending everyone I know to come here. I bought a new Corolla here two weeks ago and I didn't feel like I had to play the typical games of dealerships here. Everyone was immediately welcoming and at ease which was a huge relief after just having come from the Wesley Chapel Toyota where it felt hostile the moment I walked in. Adel was very friendly and easy to talk to. It didn't feel like he wanted to play any games and I went in looking for a Corolla and he immediately showed me the Corollas. Wesley Chapel kept trying to make me look at other more expensive cars and it took an hour before they would even let me go look at the car I came in for because they wanted me to only look at more expensive ones. Wesley chapel also seemed to have no clue on what was in their inventory whereas at Pinellas Park Toyota I asked about three Corollas and their staff knew the status on all of them from the top of their head. Everyone was very kind and mannerly whereas at Wesley Chapel I could hardly get a please and thank you. I am also a grad student with a tight budget and Pinellas Park was willing to work with me quickly to get an amazing deal whereas at Wesley Chapel I was told I was "delusional" to get a car within my price range. I was in and out with my car at Pinellas within 3 hours whereas I was at Wesley Chapel for 3 hours and got absolutely nowhere in figuring out even a price point for a car. It felt as though they genuinely wanted to help me and take care of me at Pinellas Park and I honestly think I even will drive from Brandon to Pinellas Park to get my car serviced there because of how great their customer service was. Shoutout to Adel in Sales and Mike Henkel in Finance. Both were amazing, very helpful and honest. Never did I feel I was getting scammed which is rare as a young woman. I already have recommended my coworker who last week got a corolla as well and also had an amazing experience. So please take my advice and come to the Autonation in Pinellas Park if you're looking to buy a car. They will take care of you! read more
