Incredibly horrible service! We were interested in purchasing one of two vehicles. We received a $10,000+ difference on our trade offer when we received the two quotes on the sam We were interested in purchasing one of two vehicles. We received a $10,000+ difference on our trade offer when we received the two quotes on the same day, one on an SUV and the other on a brand new 2023 Silverado 1500 High Country 4WD. We had been trying to negotiate for several days to no avail. We decided to take to some to rethink our options. When we came back a week later to attempt to renegotiate once more we were told that our car was worth a lot less than previously stated. When we asked which trade value was the correct one a proper answer couldn't be provided by Bryanna and their sales manager Brandon. We felt pressured into trying to take an offer much less than the two we had been given for our trade. Even with this back and forth on their part and them changing prices constantly not only on their Silverado but on our trade we decided to try once more yesterday to negotiate. Negotiations seemed to be going well with the sales person until Brandon the sales manager interjected and sent a text stating that they are declining to do business with us. Without providing any type of explanation. This is the WORST experience we've ever had in purchasing a vehicle. I would steer clear and very far away from Dimmit Chevrolet in Clearwater under its current management team. Seems to me they have no plans on selling their Silverado unless they receive a very high MARK UP. It makes sense as to why in a market where there's a shortage in High Country Silverados with the 6.2L, theirs has been sitting for over a month. Their mark ups on other vehicles are horrendous as well. I was also threatened and told if we left a bad review they would deny these claims, we have screenshots and quotes of all conversations and would welcome an actual Dimmit representative to contact us and procure these from us as this. We're absolutely appalled at the way they have treated us at this dealership. RUN WHILE YOU CAN. There are MUCH better dealerships to obtain a new or used Silverado or Chevrolet from. We have already found another local Chevrolet dealership with similar options and have placed a deposit on it as of this writing. A much smoother and quicker solution to Dimmit Chevrolet's scam of a sales and management team. More

I only wish I had read these reviews before I had Dimmitt do my service. I had one bad experience in March 2022. I took my car in for repair due to a recall. They had no rental cars available but told me do my service. I had one bad experience in March 2022. I took my car in for repair due to a recall. They had no rental cars available but told me it would only be a day. Well that one day turned into 4 as my service tech left on vacation and no one followed up on his customers OR returned my phone calls. Rick was my representative. Fast forward to now. I requested an early morning appt for a technician to look at my tires. At my oil change, I was advised I needed tires on my 2020 Equinox with 23K miles. This didn't seem right to me with this low mileage. The service department called me with an 8:30AM time on 11-10. Perfect, right? Well no, the day before, Rick (same Rick as before) called to verify I was dropping my car off. I explained to him that I was not asked to drop it off when the appointment was made and I could not do that. I went on to remind him of my last experience with leaving my car. His response..well that wasn't my fault. No sir, maybe not but it certainly wasn't mine. Anyway, I told him to cancel my appt and I would go elsewhere. I called Autonation, got right in on Friday morning, Here is where the story really gets interesting and way too long for this post. Suffice it to say between finding out I had been overcharged twice, work I had requested and shown on my paperwork not being done, work not coded correctly to Chevrolet to show I had the work done under a "recall" and Rick's attitude I won't be back. Oh and did I mention, I got a call asking why I missed my appointment on 11-10, When I explained to her I did not miss my appointment, I cancelled it with Rick AND told her my other issues, she had a customer care representative call me. She was extremely nice and after speaking with her, she assured me the service manager would be in touch. That was three days ago and you guessed it....no phone call. So friendly advice....don't go to Dimmitt for service. I bought my car there and loved the salesman but every other experience there has been a bad one. More
Was in Clearwater to buy a car after Hurricane Ian flooded both my cars in Fort Myers. We had one day to buy a car & no time to waste on sales BS. The salesman Andrew would not stop his incessant sale flooded both my cars in Fort Myers. We had one day to buy a car & no time to waste on sales BS. The salesman Andrew would not stop his incessant sales pitch while we were trying to look at their used car inventory until I told him to back off. Told them on the front end at our budget was $22,000 and not to waste my time on anything that was not negotiable to that range. Salesman Andrew then connived us into taking two test drives, then when I asked for their best & final he kept hem-hawing around that while our budget was 22,000 the cars that caught our eye was a little more than that. After a couple of minutes of this cat & mouse, I had to jerk the papers out of hands to finally found out they were giving me a price of 38,000. Good thing they escorted me out of the building or I probably would have spent the night in jail. Thanks so much Andrew & the management of Dimmitt Chevrolet for your compassionate help to the victims of Hurricane Ian. More

STAY AWAY! ! STAY AWAY!! STAY AWAY!! These guys are absolutely the WORST Chevrolet dealership in the tri county area. I purchased my 2022 Chevrolet Corvette from ! STAY AWAY!! STAY AWAY!! These guys are absolutely the WORST Chevrolet dealership in the tri county area. I purchased my 2022 Chevrolet Corvette from these guys and I would NEVER, EVER, EVER, buy from them again. I dealt with this lazy salesman by the name of Eric who tried to sell me a 2023 Vette for $30K OVER MSRP!! Please don’t let the salesman here lead you to believe that they are non your side or actually care about you as a customer because they don’t. It’s all about how much money they can get out of you and if they can’t rip you off they won’t even bother dealing with you. But if they think that you are a push over and that they can rob you blind they will hound you relentlessly. You have to realize that these salesman are HIGHLY trained master manipulators and they are taught by upper management how to make you believe that you are getting a good deal. Trust me, when you deal with these guys you will NEVER receive a good deal. When a salesman leaves you at their desk while they go to that office you see from the sales floor that is usually surrounded in glass to talk to their managers about what your trying to accomplish by coming to the dealership. Trust me they are not in their discussing on how they can help you. They are all in their trying to figure out a way to abuse your good credit and maximize their profit to the dealership. These are NOT good people here. So save yourself THOUSANDS of dollars, save your time, and save yourself a headache and drive a few extra miles to another Chevrolet dealership in the area. You will be glad you did. More
