Saw the excellent reviews and as an out-of-town buyer went ahead and scheduled a one-way flight from PCB once I settled on the right car. Brad was great to work with beginning to end and was very patient and held the Bolt for me as I juggled cancelled and rescheduled flights and urgent doctors visits for my elderly mom. It was all worthwhile once I saw the car in immaculate condition and fully serviced and charged for the drive back to PCB. Pleased to discover the car still had its estimated EPA range from new and only need one fast charge on the way back, which is a revelation compared to the Leaf. Special shout out to Jamaica, who was great handling the paperwork during and after the sale. Would not hesitate to make Tampa Hybrids my first choice when the time comes to trade up to another EV

This car is entirely rust free. Todd and Susan worked with my wife and me to arrange the paperwork for the sale in 24 hours.

They double checked the car so that she could feel confident getting in it and starting a 1535 mile journey to Vermont. I can't say enough good about the car and about the purchase experience! Love the vehicle and we'll be back.

Don't fall for the "friendly" manner they present, it's only there until your purchase is made final. Go to literally ANY other Subaru dealership lol this one is just wrong.

The dealer did $539 worth of maintenance to the car as oil was old, filters, needed changed and brakes needed to be flushed. Also they informed me that the clutch would need to be replaced and the sunroof needed parts. I all the repairs are nearly $6,000! I realize I bought the car as is but I'm disappointed in myself for not having the car checked out and for Five Star to sell a car that was not throughly inspected and repaired before selling it. I paid $12k cash for the car and at minimum I'll need to put another $3,000 in it to make it reliable. I bought a 15 Mini Cooper from Five Star today and Mark and his team were very professional and fair to deal with. I was a bit apprehensive buying a used car but the car is in great shape has a clean Carfax and the Five Star team made it an easy transaction. I highly recommend this dealership.

I have no idea why anybody would give this place a bad review. I started my journey of buying a car…read moreabout 2 months ago. I had my heart set on a cadillac. The cleanest and cheapest one that I could find was at Discovery Auto. Now, I haven't bought a car since my 1999 Cobra. I sold it a couple days ago and decided to go look at that Cadillac. Got in touch with a sales guy named Maurice. (He is a legit car guy). So if you are a gear head... he is too. Yeah, he is there to sell cars. But there is a difference when someone has a real passion for cars. I told him exactly what I wanted and we ran the numbers. I'm just going to be honest I couldn't afford the Cadillac that I wanted even though I tried to talk them down. So I turned my sights on a Camaro. The dealership is like a candy store if you are into cars. They had BMWs, ferraris, corvettes, audi's, anything that you could possibly want that was high-end and extremely clean. The sale was easy. The manager Jonah came out to talk to us about warranty stuff. The car I bought was a 2017 and I still got a 4-year warranty on it. I honestly didn't even know that existed. But I highly recommend this place. And I highly recommend that you ask for Maurice. You won't regret it.

This Dealership had a very interesting inventory of luxury sports cars…read more At the time I visited this dealership, I was very interested in a black California convertible Ferrari. I had been looking for the Black/black one for a while & they had the exact one I was looking for. OuiOui. When I got there, A lovely young man was there & I asked him "Where is the black California Ferrari" he told me it was in the shop in the back that he would have to go get it. I told him, "Well, go get it bc I'm very interested in purchasing it." So he told me to wander around & look at some cars & he would bring it around front. So I wardered around & took some pics of some other pretty cars, especially the pink Porsche he had on the showroom floor that I posted. Very pretty, but anyone would get tired of that color after a month, so not my style even though my husband & I collect Porsche cars. Anyhoo, he brings the Black California Ferrari round front & it's beautiful, just what I was looking for... I joked with him about how he looked great in the car with his sunglasses on & the engine sounded great. We were having fun looking over the car & I asked him to take the top down as I was inspecting it... He was telling me that it just had been serviced & it had a $20,000 service done on it bla bla bla... At that point the top started to retract into the car & all hell broke loose. Stuff started popping & things were not lining up & the top was not going down properly. Long story short, if your going to bring a Ferrari around to the front of the building to show it to a customer in the future, make sure it has been serviced properly & everything works properly on it duh. A replacement top is $30,000 for the California Ferrari. Needless to say I wasn't interested after that. I left & immediately text Tony at the Ferrari Dealership in Palm Harbor, as we have become friends now, he knows I'm looking for the California & he told me the same thing. If the top is jacked it's not worth it. I am still so upset over the whole situation that I have cooled on the Ferrari & am looking for a totally different sports car now. Will not return.

SCAM ALERT! Just like all the other reviews say, do not go to this bait and switch used car dealer…read more DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY CASH!! They will LIE, LIE, LIE to you to get you on the lot, and try to talk you into giving them cash down on cars they do not even have on their lot. I called this place Friday, inquired about a car I saw on their website at a low price. My instinct was that this was another shady car lot trying to scam people. So I called them. I spoke to Giuseppe, who said he was a salesman, and I asked him about the all the fees and for him to give me the out-the-door total price including tax, tag, and title, and I was bringing a plate to transfer, and I am paying cash, no financing. The $16,300 car would be in the $17k range, and absolutely NOT over $18k out the door everything included. I again asked him specifically about the dealer fees, internet pricing, and the paying cash fee. He said don't worry about those, it will be under $18k total. They can waive those fees. He said the car was sitting outside and looks beautiful and I could drive it away today if I came in now. I told him I'll call back Saturday and come then. I asked him about these fees because on their website's fine print, that probably no one but me reads, it says they may add a $1000 dealer/ reconditioning fee, and the advertised prices listed are after $2000 down payment, plus add up to 20% more based on the total price, if you are a cash buyer. This 20% additional fee for cash buyers is to make up for the lost interest and kickbacks they get when selling the car via financing. Next day I called and spoke to GiGi?? and they said I need to set an appointment or I can't come in to buy the car. I gave her my info, told her what I wanted to buy, only 1 specific car, and I asked if the car was still sitting on their lot, she checked and confirmed it was sitting out front and ready for me to test drive then buy. Since I buy a lot of vehicles, I am good at spotting scams, so I still felt uneasy about these fees being waived and asked her what the price was. She confirmed it would be no more than $18k out the door, all in, total. I showed up for my appt, there were a lot of shade looking people hanging around the lot that looked like crack heads, enough to give you a very uneasy, unsafe feeling, like you need to watch your back and your wallet, and maybe need to be packing a gun. The lot was packed 4 cars deep bumper to bumper. No one was wearing a Covid-19 mask except for me and the extra driver I brought with me to drive my new car home. We walked the small lot packed with about 50 cars total, not 165 like their website advertises they have in stock. We did not see the car I was coming to buy. Thought maybe they're still prepping it. A young lady named Maggie greeted and asked to assist me. I told her I'm here to see and buy a car and had an appt. After about 20 minutes of talking to her, and her going to talk to the owner a couple times, she told me the car has not made it to the lot yet, that it was at a mechanic shop nearby getting certified and ready, and that shop was closed, but I can put down cash to hold the car and come back in 3 to 7 days to see and buy it. I said I'm not putting cash down on any car they don't even have on the lot and I can't inspect. She also said the out the door price was $22k cash, not the $18k the other 2 reps lied to me and told me. I asked Maggie why the other reps lied to me to get me to drive an hour there, she said she did not know why they did that, but she hears the same story from a lot of people that come to buy cars there. This car lot lies and tells you anything to get you on their ghetto hood rat lot, then try's to get cash down from you for a car they don't have on the lot. This car lot is only there to rip off people that their sales staff can con into giving them money. They will lie about cars they don't even have, tell you fake out the door prices, and ask you for cash deposits, that I am sure the buyer never gets back. BUYER BEWARE - Sadly Florida is full of these con-artist car lots that prey on the trust and innocence of others.

BUYERS BEWARE! If you care about your credit and professionalism, you'll go elsewhere…read more I just left this place and will never go back. Their prices are underpriced to get you in the door. They even have a disclaimer inside on all their tables that basically says the online prices do not include a host of fees. I've personally seen people walk out of their office furious and I understand why now. If you care about your credit and not being screwed over, then you will not go here either. They are walking a very fine line of operating immorally and what appears to be fraudulently. They're using predatory practices to trap people who are ignorant of how credit works. I wanted to test drive a car and the guy said they have to run my credit before allowing me to test drive a car. Pair this with them being extremely understaffed. Every time I've been there, they had no time to help me. There are 10 to 15 people shopping for cars and maybe 4 to 6 people working. This is the 2nd time I went there. The first time, I called ahead of time and asked if a car was available. They looked it up and said yes. When I got there, they basically said the car had been sold a while ago. Straight lied to me. I was furious after driving from Clearwater to Tampa. I got one of their salesmen's number to get updates on cars in my price range. I texted him a few times and never heard back. Super unprofessional. I doubt how they operate is illegal but it's shame that they are preying on people in this manner. I will contact the Florida state attorney general and the CFPB to report this and verify if this isn't illegal. PROS: None. Feels like scam the minute you step out of your car. CONS: False advertising, predatory practices, unprofessional, understaffed, cars are somewhat filthy, high fees, mix-match tires.

I even Ubered an hour to see it. Unfortunately, the car wasn't as advertised--it was much dirtier and needed aesthetic work, which, while not a dealbreaker, was disappointing. I made a respectful offer less than 10% below asking, planning to pay in full, but the dealership owner insulted me, calling me a kid who couldn't afford the car. When I tried to leave, he escalated, yelling and threatening trespassing charges. This experience was incredibly frustrating and unprofessional, and honestly, it was one of the worst customer service interactions I've ever had. I would strongly advise against doing business with this dealership--there are plenty of other options where you'll be treated with the respect you deserve.

We placed a $1,500 deposit on a vehicle and were allowed to take it home before financing was finalized. At the dealership, we were told we were approved but that the paperwork could not be completed that night because it was getting late. We were told to come back and follow up to finish everything. We returned that Sunday to finalize paperwork and were told they could not assist us. Over the next several days, we called repeatedly asking for copies of what we signed and confirmation of financing. Every time we called, we were given a different explanation as to why nothing was ready. This continued all week until we ultimately returned the vehicle the following Friday when financing did not go through. At no point were we given copies of the paperwork we signed when we first left the dealership, which made the entire situation confusing and stressful. Communication throughout this process was extremely frustrating and, at times, unprofessional. During one call, the manager, Jorge, repeatedly addressed me as "honey" after I asked him to stop, told me to "pull my big girl pants up," said that not everything revolves around me, and stated he was "giving me a taste of my own medicine." When I explained that I am autistic and overwhelmed, the tone did not change and the call ended abruptly. When the vehicle was returned, we were then presented with conditional delivery paperwork outlining mileage, reconditioning, and other unwind fees. Being allowed to leave without documentation, experiencing repeated delays in getting answers, and then being presented with fee calculations at the end created a very negative and stressful experience. Customers should never leave a dealership without copies of everything they sign. Transparency and professionalism matter, especially during financial transactions. I strongly encourage anyone considering purchasing here to: * insist on copies of all signed documents immediately * fully understand conditional delivery terms * document all communication Our experience was frustrating, stressful, and could have been avoided with clear documentation and professional communication from the start.
