I strongly recommend staying away from Hillsborough Auto Sales. I bought a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze…read morefrom them for my younger sister after we specifically asked whether the vehicle had any issues and were told that it did not. Within only two days, the vehicle began idling roughly, the check engine light came on, and my sister noticed a strong oil smell and oil leaking around the engine. We gave the dealership an opportunity to fix the vehicle. They claimed the problem was the fuel injectors, said they repaired them, and returned the vehicle to my sister, telling her it was "good to go." That same day, smoke began coming from under the hood. The following day, heavy smoke entered the vehicle through the air-conditioning system while my sister and her newborn daughter were inside. This was dangerous and completely unacceptable. I had Midas perform a diagnostic inspection, and they found oil leaking from several locations, including the valve cover, timing cover, oil pan, rear main seal, and oil cooler housing. Their technician specifically documented that these were "not fresh oil leaks" and that the vehicle had been leaking for quite some time. Despite this, the dealership refused to take responsibility, provide a refund, or cover the necessary repairs. I am including photos of the oil leaks because people deserve to see the condition of the vehicle we were sold. Returning the vehicle after an unsuccessful repair and saying it was safe to drive put my sister and newborn niece in a dangerous situation. Based on our experience, I would never purchase another vehicle from Hillsborough Auto Sales, and I would not recommend them to anyone.

I tried to return it the very next day and they wouldn't take it back. They called me stupid, I didn't know what I was talking about and that I needed to do my homework when I asked for the sensor lights to be fixed and other safety issues. They spoke Spanish to the finance company of which I didn't understand and the price of the car went up by at least $3,000.00 without my knowing it when I got the bill of sales 2 weeks later from the finance company. I was there from 10:00 am until closing (sick and just wanted to go home). Salesman went home before I did because he took someone else to sell a car to and I had to find someone else to help me. They took advantage of an elderly woman who was alone. Shame on them.

I had an issue with my Subaru and my tire pressure light stayed on which was an issue because I never truly knew when my tire pressure was actually low. I made an appointment with Chris at the front desk and he was very kind and accommodating. My favorite mechanic is Eddie V. He's the best of the best and I highly recommend you book with him. He knows the ins and outs and he's very good at what he does. I love that he's straightforward too because we all know mechanics find other things wrong. But, Eddie is passionate and compassionate. No swindling here and you are in perfect hands! All in all, he fixed my tire pressure light in under an hour and I left a very happy customer! Also, they've got cool cars in the showroom you should totally check out.

I reviewed the information on carsunlimited.com and honestly thought it was too good to be true. I am happy to say the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The quality of the vehicle, the ease of buying, and the level of service throughout the process and afterward were above and beyond. Allen, Jamie, and Justin are exceptional. As time has passed, a couple of typical things have come up with the vehicle, and the support I've received has been outstanding. In a world where getting straightforward, honest information is rare, Cars Unlimited has been a dependable foundation I can trust. Their commitment doesn't end at the sale -- and that ongoing support has been truly invaluable. Choosing them remains one of the best decisions I've made.

I wished I still had the pickup today, but things happen for a reason. I do look back on his website from time to time to see if he has anything else interesting to buy. If he does, I'll contact him and we will drive there again to buy from him again. Thanks again.

And to be quite frank iv looked at over 60 trucks in the last month and half- everything has been garbage. This one seemed to be best mechanically that we had seen. The body had quit a bit of damage, interior they did and excellent job cleaning. I bought this truck and didn't even make it home. Had to call for a tow truck, the radiator had a crack in it, had to pay for the tow, mechanic and the radiator alone was $400. The cab of truck is also leaking there is water marks all over the headliner, wouldn't crank yesterday had it towed back to the mechanics and the truck needs head gaskets and batteries. I haven't even made my first payment on this truck. Very disappointed! I would never recommend this place.

We were in search of an affordable and reliable car for our son who is in college. After weeks and…read moreweeks of combing the internet and visiting most of the used car lots in the Tampa Bay Area we came across the Auto Store of Tampa Bay II and we are so grateful we found it. The Auto Store of Tampa Bay is a small family owned and operated lot which is easy to miss amongst the many used car lots, congested and fast pace road it is located on. However, what attracted us to it was the noticeable cleanliness of all the vehicles on the lot. Every vehicle was detailed and display with so much pride we had go inside. After browsing the impressive lot out front we decided to go inside where we were greeted by Mike W. who was not overly pushy and very upfront about all the cars on the lot. He took the time to learn what our priorities were and answered all of our questions which were a lot. Lol We test drove the vehicle we were set to buy and notice the AC wasn't blowing as strong as it could have (keep in mind this was a 12 yr old car); Mike offered to take it to his mechanic for a check and recharge at no additional cost and even included that as a guarantee in the bill of sales. We planned to register the car in another state which became more complicated than we anticipated and Mike went above and beyond (2 weeks AFTER we purchased the car) to help us navigate the different registration and tax requirements; even helping us making calls to the Florida and out of state DMV's and getting some required forms notarized for us at no additional cost to us. Again this is a couple weeks after we purchased the car from them. Our overall experience with the Auto Store of Tampa was a great one! We were able to purchase an affordable, good looking, AND RELIABLE vehicle for our son. We will definitely be back for any future used car buying needs and HIGHLY recommended them to anyone who is hesitant about used car lots. Pros: Affordable Prices Professionally Detailed Vehicles Outstanding Customer Service Bilingual (English and Spanish) Honest about their inventory Easy to Work with and Negotiate Deal Available even after the sale is complete Good mix of newer and older cars all very clean Cons: Not the best location to get in and out of Parking is hit or miss Not the largest inventory in the area

From the very first conversation via email, Todd (owner) took great care to answer all questions. He then took about 30 minutes with me when I first visited their beautiful, clean and very organized operation on Florida Ave. They have a total team focused on making the buying experience as easy as possible, as well as many years working with HYybrids and understanding how to find the best used cars on the market. We were very happy with the overall inventory which turns over quickly so there are always new cars to consider daily. They check every car and I felt that they will be great partners in teh future if this vehicle needs any service or work. Had a great experience and drove away with a really nice Lexus ES300! Thanks Todd, Mike and the rest of the team. We'll always refer people looking for a good deal on clean and well-serviuced vehicles!!

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.

They gave us the "carfax" (a different car report company that gives you the same amount of juicy details), negotiated for replacing a mirror in the car I ended up picking, stayed late to assist us in our decision, and followed up with us. On top of that, they honored the verbal trade-in value for my previous car. This location does not have the classic car collection of Gulf to Bay- definitely more modern cars, some luxury, some muscle, some SUVs. But it was within my price range, after the trade in. The two cars I narrowed down to were both sellihg at their Kelley Blue Book value- what a wonderful surprise! They did not talk down to me as a woman, kept me in the loop, and were straight talkers. Do come here if you're looking for something nice and affordable. I love my new car, it's been a month with it. Thanks to John Anderson and manager Terry.
