A 1.5 star rating (24 reviews) made me reconsider. The saving grace was a buddy who had an awesome experience with them last year trading in a bike and buying another. I decided to go check them and the bike out. Let me say that everyone was courteous, actually friendly and helpful. Mike Ballard took over from Daniel, the Internet contact I had been working with to schedule a test ride, and the sales manger (sorry cool dude from VT, I forgot your name) stayed with me throughout and answered my myriad of questions about the bike. A complete safety inspection of the bike was done before I test road with Dave, a very professional rider, and when I got back no one was pushing the bike sale. It was like a bunch of dudes just talking about riding. They were in no hurry and I felt like they were truly interested in my concerns and questions regarding the pre-owned motorcycle. They were happy to negotiate the sale like you would hope all your vehicle purchases would go, and it was super easy to get to a price both they and I were happy with. SO, while most smooth transactions don't ever get posted as a review and every bad experience is lit up like a roadside sign, I figured I would add a good plug for them. BTW, I typically never answer review requests, so this is a one off that I thought needed to be posted in their favor. It's hard to come back from poor reviews. I hope this helps others and encourage buyers to work the "art of the deal" and find that compromise where both parties get something. Thanks RideNow Powersports and your entire staff.

So in good faith I sent him $500 which was a huge mistake paying before completion. In the beginning he had some family issues and was down a couple of weeks which was totally understandable. What was not understandable was his total lack of communication, like saying one thing and then doing the exact opposite, to not returning phone calls, totally disregarding text messages and then when the few times we did communicate it was as if I was a huge burden for contacting him. Then for this 4 hr job he had my bike for over a month. I can't see how he's managed to stay in business. What a total dick and beware because my bike still isn't fixed!!!

Poor Communication, Unprofessional Behavior, and Unnecessary Panic…read more It took me over a year to get an appointment at this shop, as it seems to be the only local option for older sport bike repairs. The owner, Roland, is rough around the edges and lacks basic customer service skills -- but I initially gave him the benefit of the doubt, assuming he was simply busy. I had my Kawasaki ZX9 towed in for front brake and caliper repairs. I specifically asked for a quote before any work began, but instead of calling me, I had to chase him for the numbers each time. The total ended up being $1,300, which I paid in person since I couldn't pick up the bike myself due to knee surgery. I arranged for a tow company to retrieve it, gave Roland their details, and provided the pickup time. After the tow company left with my bike, Roland called to say they had used a wrecker and "didn't know what they were doing," making it sound like my bike was likely damaged. This caused me unnecessary panic -- especially since he never called me before the bike was moved. When I asked why he didn't call earlier if he was so concerned, he got angry and hung up on me. When the bike arrived, it was in perfect condition. His alarming phone call was completely unwarranted, and the stress he caused was unnecessary. While I can't yet speak to the quality of his repair work, I can say that his attitude, lack of professionalism, and poor communication were enough for me to decide I won't return. In the future, I'll tow my bike to Orlando or Tampa, where I've received skilled service and respectful treatment.

I do like the Graphene when my car is desperate need of TLC because it really makes the car have that brand new look. One thing I have an issue with at this car wash is that they never have enough cloth towels at the stations. I find myself wandering over to other stations to grab a cloth for cleaning my windows etc. Especially now since it's the spring clean season and time of the year where more people are on the road - I wish they would be more attentive to the stations. Even the cleansers were low yesterday which I did mention to someone and they seem to restock the stations later on. Overall, I do think it's in a great location and the wash prices are pretty reasonable for each tier.

We just had a horrible experience with Advanced Tire Service on Main Street in Gainesville,…read moreFlorida. In May of last year, a little more than 12 months ago, we purchased Goodyear Assurance All Season tires for our car. We paid for the tires, an alignment, and a "lifetime balance and rotation" package. Yesterday we went back to Advanced for an oil change and a tire rotation. After performing this work, Advanced also did several system checks and inspected the tires. "Mark", one of the employees in the office, told me my tire treads for wearing thin on three of the tires and one was in the "just okay" range. He mentioned that I should probably get new tires on my next oil change in 5000 miles. I was appalled. You see, the car has only been driven 12,000 miles in 12 months. The Goodyear warranty on tires is 65,000 miles, given normal wear and tear. When "Mark" looked at the invoice from 12 months ago, he thought that the mechanic, a newer hire, probably made a mistake on the tire tread depth gauge. Another mechanic went out to the car to double check the reading, and confirmed that the tire treads had indeed been worn beyond what one would expect after only 12,000 miles of driving. "Mark" mentioned he would speak with his supervisor/manager (Mike Mullins), and get back to me. He didn't. So my wife and I visited the shop this morning. The mechanics put the car up on the lift, and determined that the alignment from 12 months ago was done improperly. This was their mistake. They mentioned that the excessive tire wear was due to an improper alignment. They performed another alignment while we waited. They assured us that the tire wear henceforth would be closer to normal, although the tires already have significant wear. Not a good feeling when you are driving on the interstate or in town. But here's the best part. While we were getting ready to get in our car and leave, they informed us we owe them for today's tire alignment. Now that's incredibly nervy. Worse, the cost of an alignment this year is 20% higher than last year's cost. $120 versus $100. That's a whopping 20% increase. Of course, we will never go back to Advanced Tire Service. My opinion is that they were trying to "take us for a ride", even though they admitted that the issue was due to their less than stellar workmanship. There are many auto repair places in Gainesville take your vehicles for maintenance, including car dealers. That's where we will take our car in the future. They may charge a little more for their services but at least I think they are more honest and trustworthy.

SCAMMERS! I am going to post my experience with Gainesville and then below, I will post the Yelp review I made for the Jacksonville location. The two are related and go to show how shady this business is. After I write this review, I will post it to my social media accounts and ask my friends to share. For a couple of months, we have been looking for a jet boat. We were first interested in a Scarab, and then decided we liked the Yamaha better. The reviews below detail our experience with Ride Now Powersports in two locations. GAINESVILLE: Yesterday, Ashely from Ride Up in Gainesville called me (for the second time) to let me know that they had a Scarab in stock. After my experience with their Jacksonville location, I had NO intention of purchasing, but returned her call. I asked her for a detailed price of the boat - she told me MSRP. I then asked her for the shipping and build fees. To both, she said "I'm not really sure...I have to talk to my manager. He will be lenient on some of the fees." She then asked me to come on in to look at the boat. I reminded her that I was 4 hours away and would need a buyer's contract/pricing before I made the trip. She told me she would get back to me. Haven't heard another word since!! I asked these questions based on the experience in Jacksonville that I have detailed below. JACKSONVILLE EXPERIENCE: I called Ride Now Powersports in mid June looking for a Yamaha AR190 jet boat. I spoke to salesman Bill. He told me they had a 2021 that someone had made a deposit on but had changed their mind. Later in the day he contacted me and told me that there was one other person in front of me that he was unaware of who had made a deposit. He said he would get back in touch if the boat did not sell. On Wednesday, June 23, Bill called me again and told me they were unable to get in touch with the people who had made the deposit and so his manager told him: "just sell the boat to them [us]." I asked him for pricing information. He told me it was the MSRP plus destination fees and dealer prep. He also told me there was an upgraded stereo that had been ordered with the boat. Having done plenty of research on the boat, and after receiving quotes for preorders of the 2022 Yamaha AR190, I knew the Yamaha destination fee for a 19' boat to be $1550 and the prep fees to be between $500-$1000. On Thursday, Bill sent me the link for the financing. I asked him if I had to use Yamaha financing and he replied, "I don't know why you wouldn't with rates at 2.99 depending on your credit." My credit score is in the excellent range, so that was promising. I filled out the forms, and received an email from Jerome Robinson telling me they received the finance packet and would be reaching out to me soon. I didn't hear anything, so I called Jerome. I asked him for information about the finance rate I received and he told me that he just answered the phones and would connect me to finance. The phone rang and rang - no answer. I called the main number and asked to be connected to finance. It rang and rang...no answer. I tried two more times and finally asked the lady who answered the phone why no-one was answering. She said they were very busy and asked what I needed so that maybe she could help me. I told her I was looking for information about my financing. She said she would connect me to a manager. I was on hold for a few moments before salesman Bill answered. I was confused...I knew he was not a manager. I explained to him the reason for my call and said I wanted to know my finance rate. He said, "finance does not share that because of privacy issues." He said they would go over all of that when I arrived on Saturday. Fast forward to Saturday...my husband and I made the six hour drive to Jacksonville to pick up the boat. Imagine our surprise when a boat with an MSRP of 33,195 was priced at over 49,000. I wish I had taken a photo of the invoice, but was literally so baffled, that thought escaped me. The $1550 standard Yamaha destination fee was inflated to $4595, and the "prep fees" were $2595. There were additional fees, for example, the stereo system. They couldn't even tell me what type of stereo system it was. The charge was over $2,000. Long story short, we walked away and made the long 6 hour drive home without a boat. I did text and call to ask for a copy of the invoice. After declining two of my phone calls, Bill finally picked up and told me they were not allowed to share invoices. Looking back at this, there were so many red flags that I ignored. This business does not practice with ethics. I am an intelligent person, and I was tricked. I am only glad that all I wasted was 12 hours of my time, and not thousands of my dollars. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephen from the parts/repair department to replace two tires on my 2020 Yamaha R6. I purchased the motorcycle from RideNow in Gainesville in October 2023 and the dealer suggested that I get the tire/rim protection warranty for an extra $500. At first, I thought I didn't need it but after some convincing, I ended up buying the 5 year warranty. Needless to say, it showed its worth after I got two nails in both of my tires. I took my bike to RideNow and Stephen worked tirelessly to help me get the bike registered, in the shop, change the tires, and file the claim. Best of all, Stephen personally messaged me updates with how the claim process was going. He was very kind, sincere, and truly cared about helping me with the situation. I don't typically leave reviews, but the repair/auto-shop department at RideNow is truly one of the best, especially with their outstanding customer service. I will definitely be coming back! I trust them with my motorcycle. read more

Excellent staff and customer care. Upon entering every staff member we ran into greeted us. I'm a single mom and I was truly scared to bring my Suzuki quad and my Polaris side by side to them for repair work and maintenance. However, I was pleasantly surprised when Lawerence and Ryan took so much time to thoroughly explain everything to me. I received almost daily updates letting me know what was going on and how much everything would cost. Normally people would do the work and then tell me how much it's going to be when I pick them up. Which was always overpriced. I really appreciated the time and care they put into their Customers. I highly recommending them.

First let me say salesmen Steven and Geoff are professional, easy to work with and helpful. The finance dept uses shady strategies to hide Gap insurance, 5 year extended warranty, high percentage rats and over pricing of set up fees, etc. I've dealt with bad dealers through the years on auto purchases and have gotten accustomed to this crap. It would be nice to not have to experience it. I know they are open to make money but honest business practice will go further. I give 4 of 5 stars since I was treated well and received a good price on my trade in. I'm going back now to see what is needed to receive some tools that were missing from the tool kit. I'll keep you posted.Van read more

My brother went here to get some cosmetic work done to his truck. "Big Will" quoted him something…read morelike $4,000 worth of stuff, so my brother told him "hey, I need some time to think about this; that's a lot of money" and went home with nothing done to his truck. A couple days go by and he gives the shop another call to tell them he didn't want any work done. He decided his old truck wasn't worth $4,000 worth of mods. They told him "hey that's cool, we'll just cancel your order." About a month later, my brother checks his bank account after getting notified that a $200 charge just hit his account. So Big Will - the owner, mind you - said to him while he was in the shop "if $4,000 is too much, why don't you fill out this application; it's a soft credit check that will see if you qualify for monthly payments". So my brother filled out the form - not 100% sure what happened after that, but something went wrong. At this point you might be thinking "ah, simple mistake" - that's what my brother first thought. So he called them up, and now all their friendly, helpful personas evaporated and they refused to cancel his order or refund his money. "We already ordered your stuff, so you've gotta pay for it." He refused and made sure to cancel that order with his card. So another month goes by and now the shop is blowing up his phone "we haven't gotten paid" - but they haven't done anything. So after spending quite a bit of time on the phone with the credit line he unwittingly opened, he managed to cancel the order... we still don't know if he's getting refunded the money he's already spent. I normally don't do this sorta thing, but money's been tight for my brother, this has really stressed him out and it's been painful to watch him suffer with this frustration. My takeaway? I refuse to do any business with these people, and I encourage you to avoid them likewise.

Or "where will I get stranded today?" Tons of fun. How long will the "new" gas gauge that they put on keep working? 2 days? A week? Gator scooter tells you that you pick out a used scooter and they make it run for you. What they really mean is, I'll swap some parts on it from another broken one and send you on your way. They're not surprised if it doesn't run for more than a few days. Happy to fix it for you again. And again and again. And charge you for it. He was baffled that I needed to actually use my scooter to get to school rather than have it back at the shop to be fixed over and over and over. It has broken 4 times in 3 months. If you want to go to a place and get what you're told you're buying, an even remotely reliable form of transportation, go somewhere else. Run. Somewhere else.

From the start, he truly listened to my needs and budget and was honest about the challenges of finding the right older Toyota with low mileage. Over two months, he consistently kept me updated, sent enthusiastic videos of potential cars, and never once pressured me to exceed my financial comfort zone. Although I did not ultimately purchase a vehicle from him, my experience working with Gabe was truly positive and deserving of recognition. When Gabe first contacted me regarding my search for an older Toyota with low mileage, he took the time to genuinely listen to my needs and financial limitations. From the beginning, he was honest about the challenges of finding a vehicle that met all of my requirements within my budget. Despite that, he assured me he would remain on the lookout. . His patience, dedication, and professionalism were remarkable. At no point did he pressure me to settle for something that did not fully meet my needs or exceed my financial comfort zone. Instead, he remained committed to helping me find the right vehicle. What truly stood out was his integrity, determination, kindness, and patience. Knowing that it was a bit of a drive for me to Gainesville--especially when I was not feeling my best--he made every effort to keep me updated before I would consider making the trip. If a car had met all my requirements, I would not have hesitated to purchase it from Gabriel. Throughout my car-buying journey, two individuals stood out, and Gabe was certainly one of them. He demonstrated that there are still car sales professionals who genuinely go above and beyond to support their customers. Even though I did not purchase a car from him, he was by far one of the best salespeople I encountered. I would not hesitate to recommend both Gabe A at Gettel Toyota of Gainesville for anyone searching for the right car. I am sincerely grateful for Gabe's commitment and professionalism. He is truly an asset to his team.

I attempted to talk to them about the approx. $130 charge they continued to bill my cc since the vehicle was sold four months ago. They didn't return my calls. Finally, I reached a live person and explained the situation. She was rude and hung up on me. I immediately called back and asked to speak to someone in authority. They were, suspiciously, "all in a meeting". That was when I decided to cut the head off the snake's body and cancelled that cc. No more monthly charges at 26% interest. I had purchased a 10 year old Prius. Within 3 months of the purchase, I was informed that every battery in the car needed to be replaced in order for the car to be able to be driven.
