I just bought a 2010 Dodge Charger. It's Inferno Red and the love of my life. I bought it January 17th, 2010. I'm only 22, so my credit isn't spectacular (despite how hard I try). They worked with me and go the love of my life. I bought it January 17th, 2010. I'm only 22, so my credit isn't spectacular (despite how hard I try). They worked with me and got me the best financing possible. I traded in a 1996 Buick (which I also bought from Gator, but in 2006) and got a very fair amount for it. They're working with my financial situation, too! With all of that, I got a very, very low monthly payment. I mean, how can you beat a starting price that's 7k off MSRP?! Even when I was driving my Buick, I always brought it there. The service department and body shop always went out of their way to take care of me. I remember that one time there was a fault in the computer/ordering, and I got top-of-the-line tires for very, very cheap! And, let me tell you, that Buick ran like a charm. I traded it in because the warranty was coming up and I wanted something new and fresh. As for the sales team, Barbara Scholten went above and beyond, as did Mike and the rest of the team. Be sure to ask for Barbara! :) More
I am very surprised to read the last few negative reviews. My husband and I traded our vehicle in for a new town and country not too long ago. We were first greeted by a gentleman salesperson Clint w reviews. My husband and I traded our vehicle in for a new town and country not too long ago. We were first greeted by a gentleman salesperson Clint who was so pleasant and didnt pressure us at all throughout our purchase. We were introduced to management as well who treated us with nothing but kindness. We have had our vehicle in since for regular servicing. I was pleasantly surprised when our salesperson walked up and greeted us by our first names when we were there. This will probably be our last vehicle but we do intend on sending friends and family their way!!!! A+ in my book. Thanks again. See ya' in 3mts for my next oil change:) More
I regrettably went here to look for a trade-in for my excellent, flawless Acura RSX since I needed a 4 door car now. They ended up selling me a Mazda 3 that was sold with a problem. It had an after-mar excellent, flawless Acura RSX since I needed a 4 door car now. They ended up selling me a Mazda 3 that was sold with a problem. It had an after-market cold air intake which caused it to shift horribly and it was unsafe to drive. Within 5 days I brought it to the Mazda dealer since it was still under manufactures warranty. It took them a month of replacing parts under warranty to find that once they replaced the air box, that resolved the problem. I was not told by Gator this car had an after-market intake. I would not have bought the car with an after-market part because I know it voids aspects of the warranty. I sought Gator to be reimbursed for the part fees to return the car to OEM standards. Mazda did not charge me for labor or all the parts they replaced under warranty. Mazda also told me it is common for dealerships to reimburse customers on repairs within 90 days of the car being sold. We went down to Gator and met with this absolute unreasonable, Mike Fullhart, the manager. He is completely inflexible, illogical, irrational, and unable to make sense in his own mind about what is what. I can't believe this man manages people. He is completely incompetent. Point in case, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP. They are AWFUL!!!! They could care less about selling cars with defects as the manager stated to us when we confronted him. How disappointing. I miss the days when customer service was something to aspire to in business. More
I visited Gator Chrysler Dodge Jeep with my sister who was looking for a car. The salesman we dealt with was nice enough - minus the fact that he failed to mention the car had a serious mechanical issue t was looking for a car. The salesman we dealt with was nice enough - minus the fact that he failed to mention the car had a serious mechanical issue that was not noticed on the short test drive, but resulted in the car needing to be turned in for repair for more than a month within a few days of driving it off their lot. (Upon further after-purchase research we can prove they knew about the issue when we arrived.) My sister paid $X for the car... NOT $X plus $800 (the cost to repair the issue)! We tried more than once to work with Gator to get her expenses refunded since they sold a defective vehicle but the manager, Mike Fullhart, was illogical, unreasonable and did not even care that they sold an unsafe car and failed to fully disclose the condition of the car at the point of sale. Absolute ZERO sense of customer service at this place and they showed no respect to either of us once they had my sister's trade-in and her money. I will never go here again - and I hope their lack of integrity and customer service puts them out of business as they deserve. More
I recently purchased a new Jeep Wrangler from Gator Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Melbourne. I had been shopping for a Wrangler for some time and I saw one that had the options I wanted advertised on their w Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Melbourne. I had been shopping for a Wrangler for some time and I saw one that had the options I wanted advertised on their website. I live in South Florida and travel to Melbourne to visit my family at least once a month. I was greeted by one of their salesman Tom O'Neil when I arrived at the dealership. Tom was very professional and knew all about the Jeep's features. It was exactly what I was looking for. I purchased the Jeep at the advertised price with no hassle. The financing part went very smoothly as well. The finance manager, Maryann, was very nice,got me approved quickly and had all the paperwork done in a very short order. This was the by far the best experience I've had purchasing a vehicle. I would highly recommend Gator and will definately go back again for my next purcahse. More
STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNPROFESSIONAL GROUP OF PEOPLE We STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNPROFESSIONAL GROUP OF PEOPLE We purchased a used Jeep from this dealership, and everything went smoothly at first. While w STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNPROFESSIONAL GROUP OF PEOPLE We purchased a used Jeep from this dealership, and everything went smoothly at first. While waiting for the title work to be sent out, we recieved a card from them to come pick up the plates, and registration. We found out that there was an additional $100 that was owed for Florida title work. This by itself isn't the major problem. It was the way we were treated form that point. When we purchased the car, we explicitly requested that all fees be included in the financing which we were doing on our own. We were givin a price, which we paid. We went to pick up our plates and explained our concern. Judy at the window wouldn't assist us at which point, she said that sales manager wouldn't correct the mistake on the over charging of our purchase. We asked to speak to Carlos, and he was rude abrupt and said that they wouldn't assist. I then drove to a seperate lot, where I could speak with Carlos myself. I found him smug, stubborn and not willing to help at all. He finally said, "this conversation is done". I then spoke to somebody named Joe Kelley, who claimed to be the owner. He said that although repeat business is what is most important, "our car had such a small margin, it wasn't important to get more of that business"... I was floored.... His salesman said he wasn't aware of the new florida laws and admitted to not telling us. Joe then said he would "meet us half way", My response was that you are admitting to an error, and he then said, "I am now retractiing my offer". He said it was his dealership, and he doesn't have to answer to anybody.... amazing. I then met with Joe Kelley Sr., who IS the owner. This guy said he was surprised by the way I was treated, but he also said that "that is the way I trained my son. I wouldn't have offered anything." STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP More
On August 11th the check engine light on my 2002 Dodge Caravan came on. I was going on a trip in a couple of days and called Mike George to see how soon he could get me in to have it checked. Mike told me Caravan came on. I was going on a trip in a couple of days and called Mike George to see how soon he could get me in to have it checked. Mike told me to come right in and he would have it checked while I waited. The technician diagnosed the problem as a bad computer. They installed it and the problem was fixed. The best part is, the computer was still covered under warranty and the repair didnt cost me a cent! I've been dealing with Gator Chrysler for about 6 years now. We have purchased a couple of vehicles and they take care of all my service needs. I have always been treated fairly and with respect. I highly recommend Gator's sales and service departments. More
Bryan Nelson Completely misled me about the condition of a car I bought from the Dealership. Flew 1000 miles for a car that was supposed to be in excellent condition with no peeling paint. The car had a car I bought from the Dealership. Flew 1000 miles for a car that was supposed to be in excellent condition with no peeling paint. The car had peeling clearcoat paint after I had asked him specifically if it had any and he said no. I asked if the car had any dents or door dings. Mr. Nelson said it had 2 door dings, one on each door. It did, but it also had dents on both front fenders and hail damage on the hood. The Hood scoops had peeling paint. This dealership is not a place to buy a car from. They are not the people you want to buy a car from. Do not beleive what they tell you about a car without an outside person giving you a full description, because they completely misled me on the condition of the car. I am in the process of filing a civil suit against the dealership and a complaint with the Florida Attorney Generals Office. More
I was just lookig for an HHR because of the old style. I I was just lookig for an HHR because of the old style. I don't care for the PT Cruiser and still don't. I saw a converible PT Cruiser at tne Pal I was just lookig for an HHR because of the old style. I don't care for the PT Cruiser and still don't. I saw a converible PT Cruiser at tne Palm Bay store. My wife likes the convertible so we stopped to look at it. It was out of gas and would'nt start, so we left. The next day we stopped by the main store on Nasa blvd. and test drove a used HHR and a used PT Cruiser. Salesman Tom was very helpful. For room I liked the PT Cruiser however I liked the HHR better. I told tom about the convertible at the Palm Bay lot and said there were some things that needed to be fixed. Naturally he said whatever it takes to get you in it. The front bumper cover had a square hole in it from where it hit a square reese hitch receiver, and it has a reflector missing from the inside rear of the driver's door, and a windshield spray nozzle on the drivers side was missing. Now then this car was a lease and I know that the leasee was required to either have these items fixed or pay for them to be fixed..So why aren't they fixed. A few days later I did go into the Palm Bay lot and purchased the convertible. Jeff the salesman said the only thing they would fix was the windshield sprayer wich was on order. That was o3-13-09 and I haven't heard anything so far from Gator. More
I would like to thank Gator Chrysler for helping me out with the purchase of my vehicle. A clerical error was made on the contract that cost me an extra $1740 dollars. The dealership could have chosen no with the purchase of my vehicle. A clerical error was made on the contract that cost me an extra $1740 dollars. The dealership could have chosen not to fix the problem, however they did the right and honest thing and refunded the money. All in all, I am very happy with me experience at Gator. More
