It’s a beautiful dealership with a very knowledgeable - R Ronaldo Ronaldo

It’s a beautiful dealership with a very knowledgeable staff Caleb Peters helped me out when I was there. Very professional!

pricey but fair, and friendly beyond compare - Dmat05

Staff were very friendly and willing to go out of their way to help me find the perfect car. The prices of course are higher than other dealerships, but these folks are willing to deal with little to no credit, even people with bad credit history. All-in-all, it was a great personalized experience.

i had bought a 1999 blazer from matera motors for $5000.When the deal was made he had promised to fix a oil leak and replace faulty parts for the deal.When i took the truck home i noticed that the oil leak was still present.I then took the blazer to a certified chevy dealer the mechanic handed me a list of problems that made my heart fall out of my chest.He said that matera had not fixed the problem and the man said the best thing would be to take it back it was a lemon.Not to mention i had a warrinty for the engine which matera refused to honor.I fought tooth and nail for matera to fix the problem he promised, not counting the many others.Eventually through contacting autorities he promised to pay for half of the enginge work with help from local legal authority.Well he then took back his word and decided not to help with any of the problems.I was pressured through going broke tring to fight this crook in court or pay myself.I had to invest another $4000 to have the truck run and still to this day i have contuning problems.This man will stab you in the back I DONT LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So here is your warning do not buy a car or truck from this man his objective in business is to buy broken cars put a bandaid on it then screw you over so you have to invest thousands into the car.GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

Great dealer to do business with. - ex cadillac guy

Great dealer to do business with. Everything they said about car was true. Joel and Morgan very nice not pushy at all. I would say this, you will not regret buying from them. Five star business !! I've told my car guy friends about this place. Can't find what you want, tell them what you're looking for. Let them do the work and find that car or truck for you. I'm a customer of theirs, trust me I'm not easy to please. They hit a homerun when they found my car.

Found the car I was looking for at a reasonable price.... - EC51

Found the car I was looking for at a reasonable price. Great communication; answered any questions I had.

They ripped me off!! BEWARE! FRAUD! - Zagnut7

I bought an expensive car at this place. Later, I discovered that the car had been in a serious accident and I was not told about it even though I had specifically asked them before the purchase.. They ignored me when I contacted them about it, and have refused to do anything about it even though they sold me damaged goods without telling me about it, leaving me with the problem which will always greatly reduce the value of this car. The value of the car I purchased is about 60% of what I paid due to the undisclosed accident damage! I would stay very far away from this place even though it looks like they have great cars there. In reading some other reviews, I see I'm not the only one who has been ripped off by this outfit. BEWARE!

Don't Buy a Car from Prestige in Northport FL - Disgusted Customer

Tried to purchase a vehicle here. These guys are not professional at all. They operate out of a "hole in the wall" warehouse building in Northport FL. Dmitry is only available by phone and no one else can make a deal there with you. I negotiated a price, and Dmitry is not flexible at all by the way, and then when he emails the final numbers, he adds bogus dealer and doc fees totaling almost another $500! Where I come from, you don't agree to a price and THEN add fees later that were never discussed or never part of the deal. I can understand adding tax, registration and title charges, but not the other bogus fees. Then, things were missing (like an extra key, remote for keyless entry and start, etc) and Dmitry refuses to provide them or reduce the price for the missing items. Buy a vehicle anywhere but not from these dishonest people.

Waste of time - AJohnson

Called about a car and the price. I told them I only had so much to work with and the said no problem> I drove 1 1/2 hours. When I got there they said we cant do anything for you> Thanks for wasting my time,gas and money

Thank you off lease only for making my car buying... - First Lady

Thank you off lease only for making my car buying experience a great one! Luis was so professional, prompt, and goal oriented. He had extensive knowledge about the vehicle I was interested in. This has by far been the BEST car buying experience I've had. I was practically in and out in bo time (who wants to spend a day at a car dealership?). I highly recommend off lease only and make sure you ask for Luis (he's the best)! I'm in love with my new Maserati.

I recently bought a 2003 Corvette there with 91k miles on... - A. Superczynski

I recently bought a 2003 Corvette there with 91k miles on it. Before I made a deal with him I made sure to actually have TWO mechanics look it over and knew the repairs I needed to make before I returned. Pat gave me the keys to the vehicle, put a dealer tag on it and told me to take my time with a test drive and to let someone look it over. After inspecting it I found a lot of MINOR things that had to be done and they are as follows; repair passenger side headlight motor, flush antifreeze/coolant and refill, repair passenger side visor clip, repair HUD (heads up display that displays on the windshield), repair tire pressure monitoring system and clear one service code that was the result of a recall that was already completed. There are also a couple of minor cosmetic issues in the interior and with the convertible top. They are 10 years old and it was driven so this is fully expected with a used car. Was I mad? Not in the least. Also, when I negotiated the deal I ended up having Pat promise to repair the headlight motor and he stood by his word and did so. Two of the other repairs I have already completed myself and it cost me a total of $0 in parts. Also a third will cost $0 but it will take me all day for the repair and I haven't had time to do it yet. The coolant flush and refill cost me $13 I think for the 50/50 Dextron coolant. The few things that are left to do will be relatively inexpensive and do not hinder the safety of the vehicle. I know full well when buying a used vehicle, there was a reason the previous owner got rid of it. This one runs beautifully which is shocking considering most Corvette owners drive the car how it was designed to be driven (hard). I waited for almost a month before posting this review to make sure nothing drastic happened. I've been driving it daily and will continue to do so I'm sure.

Bought a new, to us, Camaro 2SS from Alex yesterday. - HEvans

Bought a new, to us, Camaro 2SS from Alex yesterday. From the moment I called to inquire on the vehicle, until we walked out the door with the keys, the transaction was seamless and quick! The car was EXACTLY how they described it, the pricing was EXACTLY what they promised. The people at AutoBasics are super friendly, easy to work with and best of all - they do not play the typical car dealer games! Absolutely recommend purchasing a vehicle from AutiBasics!!!

It was a good experience the sales men was real good experie - Happy guy@michael1234

The service was outstanding this my 1st time Buying a car, it was a good experience, they made you feel like family, I would tell others.

Beware!!!! Stay Away From These Con Artists!!!! - Antoinette Sade

If you want a nice car, a car that you will get your money worth, a car that will not break down on you within the 1st few months NEVER GO TO BE APPROVED USED CARS!!! They sold 2 bad cars. I had to pay over $1,500 in repairs for the 1st car, Audi A4. The head gas blew & the engine was wearing out extremely bad. I traded in the Audi (8/24/2015) under the impression that getting a less expensive on repairs car (2013 Nissan Altima) would give me less problems. Within the 1st week I had several problems with the 2nd car. The windows wouldn't let down, the seats didn't move, the car would slow down/wouldn't accelerate when I made turns (which could potential cause an accident), the air conditioning stopped working & would only come on at times only when I was driving, the body control module is broken, etc. I reported all of this within the 1st week of owning the vehicle. Still nothing done. I was sent to the mechanic. But, they wasn't cooperating with the mechanic themselves. Gabriel Castro lied & said that he was ordering the pieces to repair the Nissan. But, the mechanic that was going to fix the car confirmed that Gabriel was lying. They also never came through with pieces that were missing/broken on the Audi. The Audi is in terrible condition yet they put it back on the lot (to sell it to someone else who would fall for their scheme). They constantly kept lying & giving me the run around about it. Be Approved Used Cars also hasn't paid the remainder balance (a little under $10,000) on the Audi I traded in, which soon will go to delinquency & reflect my credit. As far as that, they still haven't paid the remainder balance of my 1st car. Keep your money. Don't go there & waste it with these scammers. They also told me to never call them back. Even though they owe on 1 of my cars & I still have a piece of xxxx Altima through them.

The guys at Buy Repo Direct are probbibly the most... - Dansickforbrains

The guys at Buy Repo Direct are probbibly the most proffesional dealer I have ever bought from not only are they skilled in business ethics, but also are kind and very helpful. I have bought over 18 cars in my life time and I have never been treated with as much courtesy as I did at Buy Repo Direct. They had the best price in town and got me a discount for being a credit union member. Their whole concept is just what this country need to get the economy flowing again. I have recomended many of my friends and family to Sam and his profesional crew.

Saw a low mileage car for $2500. - sheltydog

Saw a low mileage car for $2500. Put in an inquiry and figured I’d pick it up the next day. They sent me a message saying they’d assign the car to a salesman who would contact me soon. A few days later I read that this company has many cars for $2500 and that is the down payment. A few days after that a salesman contacted me. By then I was ignoring them. Bait and switch!

Good dealership - vic1147

Sold my car there at the end of Florida season and looked around on their lot for a newer car to purchase next October when I will be back. Good appraisal compared with other dealers in the area. Selling process pleasant and quick. First price was a low ball thing and I rejected it - after 20 mins the dealership called back and they said they have a better offer which I accepted. They have lots of interesting cars for everybody but they are priced on the high side. You have to know what you want and really read and understand the CARFAX report. Have not tried bargaining because I was not ready to buy. Will come back there.

I so enjoyed working with CarMax. - Gran

I so enjoyed working with CarMax. The process was very easy. I would recommend CarMax to anyone looking to make a purchase.

I'm really happy with the trade-in value, the car I - paco650

I'm really happy with the trade-in value, the car I bought, and the financing terms. Unlike other dealerships, they didn't try to woo me with nonsense and stuck to the numbers. It's probably one of the only dealerships you can walk into like that.

WARNING WARNING. - Calebgreen1981

WARNING WARNING. Stay away. I purchased my 2016 lamborghini hurricane here. The car had a vehicle rap, but I was assured the car was in perfect condition because they knew the owner and he was a previous customer.. When I took the wrap off to change the color, I discovered the vehicle had body damage on all sides that had been poorly repaired, and the rap was hiding.. To make things worse when I got the vehicle serviced at the lamborghini dealership, they discovered there was odometer fraud. The gauge cluster had been changed out, over twenty thousand miles. I brought all this to the dealer. And there answere to me was, you bought it as is, your problem.

Easy to deal with and honest. A very pleasant surpise !!! - davemonfl

I was looking for a used 328i with Sport Package and 6 speed manual. Proved to be impossible to find in Sarasota/Bradenton area. Found two in Tampa and one in Palm Beach so went to Cars of Tampa. The car they had was just what I wanted but it had after market 16" wheels instead of 17" or 18" that come with Sport Package, and it was missing two pieces of trim around the rear door windows. They threw in OEM BMW 18" wheels off a crashed BMW they had on the lot and said they would get the trim pieces for me from a junk yard and mail them to me. After a month or so of searching they could not find the trim pieces so they ordered them brand new and installed them for me for free. I highly recommend these guys!!

They did a pretty good job responding when I made an - Jossette

They did a pretty good job responding when I made an offer on a cute Volkswagen Beetle but the counter offer wasn’t as good as I would have expected. Maybe I was expecting too much but not sure I really want the car now after all. The price is just too high for what you get

Got ripped off on my face out of 1700 Dollars - Ripped guy

I just lost 1700 going back and forth for the incomplete information, they tell you numbers without showing you any documentation, they tell you a price for the vehicle and right after you took it off the lot and come back to finish the deal they will change that price telling you so when are you going to pay the rest? what rest oh I said you have to pay another one thousand because this car was 3000 down, I never heard of this 3000 down all the time we talked about 1500, I wasted like 2300 with all the paperwork I had to do going to the insurance company and so on, after coming to sign off on the document I was ready to finish the deal after two or three days of me driving the vehicle, they will let you get the vehicle but they will not tell you how much is the total for the vehicle because according to them, they can't give you a final price or show you the breakdown of the payments and everything because the bank they work with takes time, I have spoken to other dealerships and they have all told me that makes no sense. I refused to pay the extra 1000 thousand dollars for the downpayment and wanted to get my money back and find another dealership because at this time I already lost confidence, but the manager said there is no way that I will get my downpayment back, It took me so long to save up my money to get my first vehicle, sweat and tears just to be lost like this, the vehicle was a Ford Fuson 2016 black sedan I was skeptical about this vehicle to begin with because the paint around the passenger door seems like it has been repainted, and the color seems not to be the original color. I went to carfax to check the vehicle because they didnt provide any carfax my mistake I should have asked, in my carfax it shows that it has been involved in flood. After refusing to pay the extra 1000 he said I could pick a cheaper vehicle that is the best that I can do, there were no vehicles that I like but since I already paid the down and I dont want to lose my hard earned money, I picked a white Hyundai Sonata 2016, only two years old but with 55k miles. how is that possible unless the vehicle was used as a rental car, or uber, but I had no choice I took the vehicle I was told the vehicle was 10,000k and that I had to give 2000 down I said okay, again they didnt fix my paperwork right there they told me to go home and came back after a few days, I asked him again so how much is this car in total they again said I can't tell you because until the bank answers me I wont be able to know. I came to get the papers after a couple of days and I was told everything is fine now no problem the monthly payment will be 363. I thought not so bad, and left then I went over the papers at home after a couple of days, and I saw the total amount $23,833. What the F.....Then I decided to look online for the same vehicle and I found about 20 other vehicles same age with 15k 25k for 12,000 dollars I went to the dealerships to talk to them and they all laughed at me saying what the xxxx, they ran some new numbers with the same down payment of 2k and they monthly payment came to 340 and the total price of the vehicle to 19,000 and much newer model with GPS and 25k miles. I rapidly went to the dealership to return my car just that I couldn't start the car it was dead some battery problem and had to ask some else to give me a boost, on my so-called new car. I went to the dealership left the keys and took off. I hope nobody else lose their hard earned money the way I did. Turned out the once 10k car became 15k and plus 7k extra for the interest over a period of 60 months. Share it and save a friend money is hard to make.

Horrible customer service - Stevo1969

Drove 2 hrs to buy a car that they had listed ,the car wobbled very bad, they had to change 2 tires and made us wait 2 hrs to fix it , one would think it should have been fixed before be it was on the lot to sell . Then they handed over the keys to us and it had an empty gas tank and a non detailed or cleaned car, they actually laughed at us when we told them we wanted the tank full for all of the inconvenience..After waiting all of that time, they wouldn't even fill our tank up... Horrible customer service as far as I'm concerned!
