He listened, gave us space when we needed it, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. Super knowledgeable and just an all-around great person to work with.

I found a used car on their website, price was great, to great, so I called and emailed. Girl named Olivia called me and we talked about the price, she explained the price was actual. I asked several times will there be "fees" added once I arrive? Driving 45 minutes to get there on a Saturday. Olivia assured me, no other fees, so I pointed her to the verbiage on the car listing on their website ( see photo ) it clearly states "no additional dealer fees" she says let me be sure, puts me on hold, to check with her manager, keep in mind she gets paid for every appointment that shows up ! She comes back on and says, yep, my manager says only tax and license plates will be added. Great ! I'm on my way, I get there the car is in dirty , ratty condition. But the price is good so maybe I can fix it up. After the test drive, the manager comes over with the "first pencil " $8000 higher in fees, lol lol, I explain I'm not buying your worthless paint protection bs packing, rust and dust, he says well , I know but we are a corporate store and have to offer it on every first pencil. The sales girl is embarrassed at this point, the manager disappeared like Houdini for 20 minutes and comes back with another pencil, it's down to $5700 higher now, lol lol, he says look " you knew that price was going to change " I explain about my conversation with Olivia, he says " well I'll have to have a talk with her !" Lol lol, this guy is priceless! I get up to leave , he says well, how much ? How much ? I say forget it you have no credibility at this point, as I'm driving out the poor sales girl get sent out to tell me we can do it for $5000 higher now, I leave, I'm about 20 minutes away and Olivia calls ! You can't make this stuff up, she says my general manager feels bad and wants you to come back, it's only $2500 higher now. Lol lol...I kept Driving, this my friends is the quintessential bait and switch, this is archaic tactics, old school, car dealership BS, this is why people hate buying a car, Honda of Sarasota you should be embarrassed, are you that desperate? You need to do better. And, to Olivia, your most likely young, go find yourself a job that doesn't require you to lie to people.

DO NOT GO TO BMW OF SARASOTA !!!…read more One of the worst customer service experiences I've had at a dealership. I scheduled my service appointment more than three weeks in advance. I arrived on time, dropped off my vehicle, and was told the work would be completed within a few hours. Later in the day, I received a text informing me that the required part wasn't in stock and wouldn't arrive until the following day, with no estimated arrival time provided. As a result, I was left without my vehicle for two days due to what appeared to be a complete lack of planning, inventory management, and communication on the dealership's part. Scheduling a customer for service without first confirming that the necessary parts are and will be available is unacceptable and demonstrates poor operational management. What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of accountability. When I asked how the dealership planned to address the inconvenience, the response I received was essentially that nothing would be done and I could either accept the situation or not. Whether those were the exact words or not, that was the clear message I walked away with. It was dismissive, unprofessional, and showed no regard for the inconvenience caused. Delays can happen--I understand that. What customers expect is honesty, accountability, and an effort to make things right. Unfortunately, I received none of those. For a brand like BMW, I expected a much higher level of customer service and professionalism. Instead, I left feeling that my time simply didn't matter. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this dealership.

A second test drive revealed a passenger seat belt problem that will be properly repaired by giving the car back for two weeks. However, before taking the car for the first time, I asked John Steinhauser to open the hood (special handling with the'B') and, to my surprise, saw the upper part of the bumper broken (4" x 15" see photos). Obviously a shamefully HIDDEN ACCIDENT NOT DECLARED because there was no trace on the front of the bumper because also full repainted. I didn't like it, but John Steinhauser promised me that the bumper would be repaired FREE OF CHARGE along with the passenger seat belt repair. Today, still no bumper repaired despite several reminders. For a ZERO ACCIDENT car, that's horrible. So I give a rating of 1 which I would increase to more stars if this garage ENCORE kept its promises.

Ryan Overstreet asked me to REMOVE my GOOGLE REVIEW, my 100% honest account of how they sold our trade without the proper NYS Gifting form because it was illegal. My negative review brings their stats down and calls them out on their deceptive sales practices! From what I understand after the past two months of doing my research, Google Reviews are pretty damn important for a car dealership. DID YOU KNOW: Dealerships can request your google reviews to be taken down and you will never know unless you go incognito! Since Ryan knows how to manipulate the Google reviews process, and KNOWS a "Local Guide Review" takes Relevance, he has "local guides" put these "great reviews" out there to override the negatives. How "real" are these local guide reviews, Google? Does the Dealership CREATE these factious profiles just to override negative reviews? Hummmmm? Why does this dealer has a review rating of 4.3 on Google, but less that 3.4 on DealerRater and less than 1.9 on Yelp? THANK YOU YELP for allowing us to tell our story without being manipulated by the dealership to take it down! Negative reviews tell you the true story! Positive reviews just make the dealership look good and now after doing 2 months of research, I have learned can be easily manipulated. DON'T BE FOOLS. Read the NEGATIVE reviews. Clearly these guys (mostly all male dealership-stereotypical car dealership), are experts at the ole "BAIT & SWITCH and in my opinion, Ryan should just teach classes in this because he's the GM ringleader expert! There are only a few women that work at this dealership; one that answers the phone and another who responds to reviews. Why are these positions not given to a man?? I'll let you think about that one for a bit. SITUATION: We traded 2 vehicles in for 2 new vehicles. My first new car purchase (no lease) at 57 years old and I deserved it after raising 4 children and working a high stress job, even holding 3 jobs during my children's early ages while pregnant. They took trades, didn't get the required gifting form for one of the vehicles and the story has been a 2 month NIGHTMARE! I'm a pit bull and will fight to the end so I am in for the long haul and will try my hardest to get Gettel Toyota of Bradenton held accountable for their deceptive business practices. I flew from NY to FL after the trade was restructured and they took a $1,500 payment as a deposit. Gettel knew I was coming but illegally sold the trade to a third party. When I arrived at the dealership, they had me sign the proper cash deposit Gifting Form, then isolated me in the office, had another manager come in, to tell me they sold my trade and they would get me a rental car to drive home. WOW again! THEN ON TOP OF IT, they pulled me into another office with Yarel (who was really nice by the way) and tried to get me to sign my life away and give me pennies. I REFUSED and left back home to NY w/paperwork in hand after crying at the dealership for hours trying to figure out my next move (I was supposed to be driving home at this point). If you value your money & especially your time, GO ELSEWHERE to get your Toyota. If you like playing games (hope you're great cuz these guys are experts), sitting in a dealership for days, then by all means go to Gettel Toyota of Bradenton. I would have loved to leave a great review but the amount of mistakes that STILL keep occurring is unfathomable, after being ghosted and referred to their attorney? After spending $125,000 all in, I need to be honest for you hard working Floridians who are getting ripped off. My sales guy Mick - TOP NOTCH and so was Sebastian! Rey, moved from Sales to Finance; sweet kid made to stay past 12am; Jon threw him to the wolves instead of mentoring the poor kid! Let's be honest because Gettel Management and Dealership as a whole is NOT. Sales guys are supposed to make you feel all warm and fuzzy! How do you think (according to Jon Cruz), this dealership sells over 300 cars per month (or between 10-15 cars per DAY)??? Fast talkers. They will do whatever to sell you a vehicle! Period. WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET YOU INTO THIS CAR TODAY? The operational end at Gettel Toyota of Bradenton is a complete disastrous failure and should be closed immediately for full and proper training in the back end. Period. Who doesn't feel great after getting a new car? Unfortunately, me! It has been 50 days of aggravation but DMV will hold them accountable. BUYER BEWARE and heed my warning. Take your business elsewhere.
