The sales person told me the OTD price over the phone and then sent it in writing. I put a deposit down and picked the car up the next day since I was driving in from Jacksonville with my husband. Car and OTD price were exactly as described and I was in and out in 45 minutes total. The easiest car transaction I have ever had. I didn't even have to ask for floor mats. They were actually in the car already! I highly recommend this dealer. read more

Always a great experience - quick and easy. They make it the most comfortable car buying experience.

First time there for an oil change, would have given 5 stars but my tire pressure and lights on the car were not checked out. Overall, good customer services. read more

Bought a "weekend convertible" from Tomlinson. We have bought a lot of cars through the years but this experience has been the best. Friendly staff, no haggle pricing. From start to finish... Excellent! Thanks so much! read more

Tomlinson Motor Company - We love our new fun car! - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Two most important things I want: No dealer fee and no pressure. I was looking for a truck and found the perfect one. Keep in mind this is just a month before the pandemic. Drove around to get the feel of it. I was satisfied. The process went smoothly. They are professional. I highly recommend this place. read more

I purchased a car here and the prices were non negotiable which was a plus for me. Several friends recommended this business. The purchase process was straightforward but also kind of odd. The salesman met me inside with his sunglasses on and did not introduce himself? He was very vague when I asked him questions about maintenance and warranty. I needed a car because mine had been totaled and this place was recommended , but still I think they take no pressure to the extreme. It seems you can still be polite and friendly. read more

Tomlinson's is the only place you need to go for your vehicle needs - Seriously. No dealer fees! Let me say that again - no dealer fees! Also every employee was kind, knowledgeable, helpful (but didn't follow us around) and respectful. All the vehicles were unlocked and accessible and when we wanted to drive something, they immediately got us the keys and a plate. Tomlinson's and team is the only place I've ever found with such a delightful (yes delightfully surprising) experience. Some cars were basically brand new with less than 1k miles too. It took an hour to make a decision on a car and an hour to draw up the paperwork, trade out cars, and be on our way. Thank you so much for a stress-less experience. We will always buy from Tomlinson going forward. Ps. They also have a service area which I've not used yet but will. read more

The easiest car purchase we have experienced. No pressure and felt my trade in was fair.

I have purchased vehicles from Tomlinson's for years. I started my relationship with them back in 2005 when I saw a black 4Runner on the front line. I decided to stop in and take a ride. And I ended up riding it home. My purchasing experience was simple and I drove away happy with the deal I'd made. Although their sales methods have changed a bit, since that time I've purchased 5 more vehicles and referred many friends and colleagues. The fact that there is no pressure, the price is clearly marked on the vehicles, and they stand behind their word is priceless. They are very pleasant to deal with and quick to complete the paperwork. Their detail crew is friendly and meticulous and have always left me with a vehicle I'm proud to ride around in. There's a white-haired salesman there now that is very knowledgeable and helpful and always makes sure I know what my options are. He's never pressured me, but allows me to take the vehicle for a spin alone so I can be sure it's exactly what I want before I buy. I love the NO PRESSURE SALES METHODS at Tomlinson! I will definitely purchase my next vehicle here! read more

I've bought 2 cars now from Tomlinson Motor Company. Bill has helped me both times and has always been helpful, professional, and personable. Other dealerships act like you are an inconvenience and would rather argue than answer questions. I'd recommend Tomlinson's to anyone in the market for a good, reliable vehicle and amazing service. read more

Along with Southeast, Tomlinson is the best place in Gainesville to pick up a used vehicle. What you see is what you get. No jacked up prices, no salesmen blowing smoke up your ass or trying to force you to buy a vehicle you don't want or can't afford. They don't kiss your ass and pretend to be your new best friend. They're friendly, helpful, and they do their job. I appreciate that a lot, especially after dealings with other snake oil salesmen. No negotiation, either. Their listed price is the sale price, period. The cars there sell themselves, no upsell at all. After looking around at other places and wanting to stab the other salesmen in the throat with a rusty spoon, we stopped by Tomlinson. Told him the price range and the style of vehicle the wife wanted. He simply said there was only 1 on the lot that fit the requirements. Luckily, it's exactly what the wife was looking for. She got her Kia Sorento EX for $3,000 under NADA value and I made the purchase in a very short amount of time compared to my previous purchases. read more

Mike and his crew were so nice and professional! We found them through the USAA car buying program, as they are recommended by USAA, which speaks very highly of them. They contacted us before we arrived and pulled out the car that we were interested in purchasing so it was ready when we arrived. They offered us a drink upon arrival and handed over the keys to the car with full instructions of where to go on our test drive. Mike offered us more on our trade in than we ever expected, despite high mileage and multiple collisions. There was no pressure, no haggling, full transparency. We drove 2 hours from Oviedo to come here and would do it again! I would absolutely recommend this business to friends and family! The facilities are clean, well lit and open. read more

I can't say enough nice things about these folks!!! Last week I purchased a used Chevy Bolt from Tomlinson Motors. All the staff we worked with were helpful, pleasant, accommodating (we are very covid-cautious and they were agreeable to signing papers outside on their covered porch). They held the car while I was waiting for my funds to transfer, complied with our requests to have all the equipment that was supposed to come with the car (that is often missing from used vehicles), and when we inquired about whether the cabin air filter had been changed recently, in 5 minutes they just replaced it. A real plus to have a service department right there. It was a delight and comfort to deal with people I felt were honest, local, and a long-standing business in our community read more

Recently acquired a new used vehicle here and I was not dissapointed. I was always told the place was awesome and I saw many cars in town with their sticker, but I learned the hard way! After having a horrible experience over at parks of Gainesville I have now taken the plunge and I can't be any more satisfied! No haggle, no pushy sellers, try all the cars that you like without supervision or time limits, onsite financing, and free carpets. The best thing was the time spent getting the car, which was no time at all! read more

Mike Brewster and his team at Tomlinson are bar none, the best guys in the business. Mike and his team make you feel like you're the only person buying a car in Gainesville the day you buy your car. They'll go out of their way to make sure your needs and expectations are met and exceeded. If you are looking for a great car from a great company, look no further than Tomlinson Motor Company. They'll treat ya like family! read more

Wow. I feel almost bad referring to this place as a "car dealership" because they're NOT jerks!! They didn't torture me, waste my time, try to rip me off or anything! As a matter of fact, I went in with my own financing and they went out of their way to get me a better deal. So awesome. Don't change a thing, buddies. I LOVE my van!!!! read more

Just finished another transaction with Tomlinson and continue to be one of their biggest fans. JD handled everything from the greeting to the final paperwork with a smile and a no pressure whatsoever attitude. If you are in the market for a really nice late model used vehicle and do not check with Tomlinson you are making a serious financial mistake. Great cars from good people who make the buying experience painless. read more

Great dealer and great experience! We drove over two hours one way, and it was totally worth it. Bill, the sales manager, was great to work with. read more

My wife wanted to buy a new car but was quite hesitant since our last purchase of a vehicle was about as nightmarish as they get. I saw a car online at Tomlinson and stopped by to look at it. Was a little skeptical because I really thought it was a "too good to be true" deal based on research that I had done. Talked to the salesman and came back in three days with my wife to look at the vehicle. Bought the vehicle and she was extremely happy with the car and the way we were treated. Vince Volpe and Mike Brewster made the entire process as easy and pleasant as any we've ever had. When my wife told Mike this, he said, "That's the way buying a new car is supposed to be." read more

I've been a customer of Tomlinson's for many years. It started with a desperate trip there for an issue with an old car that other mechanics couldn't seem to solve. I have since bought a car from them and so has my husband. Ever since I started using Tomlinson for car maintenance I haven't had any major problems unlike my experiences with their neighboring mechanics. I am not a rich person so I really appreciate the service department's great customer service over the years. They know how to create a loyal customer. When I need to purchase my next vehicle, I'm just going to make it easy on myself and start at Tomlinson. They always have affordable prices, clean and well maintained vehicles. Other dealerships are happy to sell you a smelly dirty car for the same price. read more

Purchased a Chevrolet pickup from Tomlinson in 2005, after shopping for weeks for a single cab. Couldn't believe how simple the deal was. Drove the truck, liked the price, signed the papers and left in a short time. Very professional and nobody was pushy. Two years later my family grew so I didn't even shop. I went straight to Tomlinson's and traded my truck for an extended cab pickup that I am still driving. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family, and I'll go right back when I'm ready for another vehicle. read more

I bought a car from Tomlinson last fall and it was a great experience - no pressure, no haggling, nice selection of clean cars, good value. The staff was professional and efficient. I drove away relaxed and happy, something I can't say about other car buying experiences elsewhere. read more

When I purchased a car for my daughter last week, I could not say enough good things about the car buying experience. It was the most stress free car purchase ever. Fast forward to this afternoon, after work I pressed the key fob no response. I took the key out of the fob, as I was instructed to do by the sales help, and simply opened the door. I pushed the start button nothing. I panicked and called Tomlinson, I explained I have to pick my daughter up from practice at school, I am already late, and I cannot start the car. They stated they would bring me another car. My coworker witnessed my panic and offered her vehicle. On my way to pick up my daughter feeling relieved, I thought why did I call Tomlinson? They sold me the car. It was my problem now. I called to them not to come, but they were already there waiting for me, not one but two employees. They noticed right away I had left the parking lights on and the battery was dead. They help me jump the car off and showed me the way to put the car in neutral without a key. While we were waiting for the car to charge, a third employee showed up to make sure everything was okay. I cannot say enough great things about Tomlinson. They have cornered the market on buying experience and customer service. Oh and they didn't make me feel silly for leaving the lights on instead showed me the indicator on the dash. read more

No communication between salespeople, recommended to shop here for a vehicle because why?

I have shopped at quite a few dealerships all over the country. Although I left more often than not having purchased a vehicle; I also walked away from each of those experiences with a bonus feeling of, "I just got so screwed." I have to say that for the first time ever shopping for a car did not feel like that so special experience given at a run of the mill dealership. When I say this I am referring to my personal visualization of being lined up in front of a firing squad (here is where you would insert your own personal horror).So having left the previous night shaking, I woke up the next morning to only expect more of the same. Walking into this dealership is akin to walking into a coffee shop on a Sunday afternoon. If a car dealership could be a spa this would be the place. If purchasing a car would be like eating a sundae, extra nuts please! Salesman were like librarians. I actually test drove a vehicle w/o the nonstop repetitive jargon of, "how do you like it?" I happily purchased my vehicle and drove it home. Still no PTSD. To avoid "trauma, drama", I will shop here in the future. read more

We purchased a car from Tomlinson in June. We had a great experience the sales staff is fantastic. The price was by far the best around town. We were driving home with our new vehicle in an hour. We will definitely be back for our next purchase. read more
