    I was in the market for a pre-owned vehicle and my wife suggested Cars Unlimited on Fletcher Ave in…read moreTampa, FL. 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 tried many attempts to go see this pickup in person and finally, I did. He made the buying easy. Made us feel at ease buying a classic from him. 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.

    I have been a customer of Toyota of Tampa Bay since 2013, and happy until my last interaction,…read morewhich was a purchase of a 2026 bZ. I bought my first car from them in 2013, a Camry. The salesman, Alan Brodsky, was excellent. He was informative and helped with a military discount. No wonder that he was perpetually their salesman of the year. My second purchase from them was replacement Camry in 2023. Alan had retired, but a woman who had worked with him was my salesperson and seemed to work in Alan's style, low pressure and helpful. In the last week of May 2026, I brought my 2023 Camry in for a free car wash. While I was waiting, the woman who had been my salesperson in 2023 came by and said hello. TBH, I didn't recognize her, but my memory isn't so good after age 70. I told her that I was just here for a wash, but was thinking about an electric car replacement for my wife's Subaru 2016, since we had just gotten solar panels on our home. She showed me bZ and I asked if I wanted to drive it. As my Camry was not out of the wash yet, I said sure and went for a drive. Then they wanted to sit down and sell it to me. I said no, I was just here for a car wash and just was talking while waiting for the car to get washed. Also, I would have to consult with my wife since it's would be her car, and I don't even know if she wants to give up the Subaru. They asked me if I wanted to drive the car to my home and have my wife look at it and drive it. I called her, got her OK, and I said OK. She did like the car. Then we came back and again the pressure was really high to buy it right then. I told them that I didn't research this at all. Normally prior to buying a car I would look at reviews, find the dealer's invoice price, find trade-in values for the Subaru, and when my research was all done, I would come in in the last day of the month, which is when dealerships bargain the most. Despite all that, the next thing I know I was in the room with the person to do the sale. Perhaps I could describe her as a very effective salesperson. Or, someone who was took advantage of a 73-year-old whose judgment and executive function may not be as good as it used to be. I never knew what the dealer's invoice price was. I didn't know until later what the Subaru trade-in would be on Edmunds or Kelly Blue Book. When I walked out, I couldn't have told you what the cost of the car was that I just purchased. Normally there are some negotiations back and forth, and the salesperson has to go back to the manager in the rear. The only such thing was her asking if there was anything she could do that would sweeten the deal. I said how about extending the warranty on my 2023. She said she'd never heard of extending the warranty on a different car then the one being purchased, but the manager approved it. We never talked about invoice prices or military discount. All in all, I'm happy with the car but just not happy with the sales experience On another issue, the bZ has a lot of display options. I think that Toyota should have an expert in operating the car sit down with you for 20 minutes and go through important operating issues. Of course, it's all in the manual. But it's a big manual. One of the things that they should have warned you about, but didn't, is that a Li-ion battery should not be charged to 100% routinely. Just like in cell phones, which tells you that you should charge only to 80% most of the time to maximize battery life, the charge on the traction battery should be kept between 20% and 80%, except for the occasional long trip where you need to charge it to 100%. This is not noted prominently anywhere. I research it online. I called the Toyota service department and they had no idea if limiting the charging to 80% was recommended, nor how to limit the charging. I found it in the manual and you can set the charge limit to 80% or whatever you want. They need to have somebody sit down and take you through the car everything from charging issues like this, to adjusting the height of the tailgate, to customizing the seat and mirror positions to the two drivers using both facial recognition or keys.

While the…read moresales process was pleasant, the post-sale customer service and quality control have been an absolute nightmare. The very night I drove the car home, both a "Check Brake Light" warning and a "Service Required" message appeared. I brought the car back the next morning (8/3), where a technician simply reset the light, adjusted the housing, and sent me on my way. By the following morning (8/4), the exact same safety warning returned. Hoping for a real fix, I scheduled a service appointment for Wednesday, 8/5 at 6:00 AM. I arrived early at 5:55 AM, only to sit in the waiting room for four wasted hours because the technician didn't show up until around 10:00 AM. Their second "fix" consisted of merely bending tabs inside the housing. Unsurprisingly, as soon as I pulled into my work garage later that afternoon, the "Check Brake Light" warning came back on for a third time. When I called to request returning the vehicle due to a persistent, unresolved safety defect on a car I had owned for less than 72 hours, Gettel's attitude completely shifted. I was dismissively told the deal was already funded, that an intermittently failing brake light is "not a safety concern," and that I was on my own to take it to a Kia dealership for a diagnosis. On 8/6, I took the car to an authorized Kia dealership. Kia diagnosed the defect immediately: the light fixture itself was faulty and required a $330 replacement. To make matters worse, Kia's inspection revealed that basic pre-sale maintenance Gettel was supposed to perform before handing over the keys was completely ignored, leaving me facing additional unexpected costs right after putting $3,000 down. Gettel Stadium Toyota passed off a vehicle with an active electrical and safety issue, forced me to wait four hours for a non-existent repair, and completely washed their hands of responsibility the moment the check cleared. Do not buy a used vehicle here unless you are prepared for immediate mechanical issues and zero support. I am fully willing to amend or remove this review once Gettel management makes this right by reimbursing the $330 repair bill for the brake light assembly and completing the overdue pre-sale maintenance at no additional charge to me. Until this is resolved, I will continue sharing this detailed, documented experience across every major review platform, my social media channels, and local community networks. The response received so far has been to call the generic service number. I've been transferred to the "manager" 3 times today, no answer and have left several voicemails. I will continue to post reviews daily to different platforms until some form of resolution is presented. Received an email communication from the general manager who said I would receive a call from the service manager Saturday, 8/8 to discuss the issues further and still haven't heard from that manager. Continuing to spread my reviews on the dealership until some resolution has been reached.
