There was no p drive with Harold two days later. The car was ready to go when I arrived. It turned out the car didn't exactly fit my expectations. There was no pressure to buy it and Harold showed me other possibilities. I did test drive another, but decided I would keep looking. There was no attempt to dissuade me and I left feeling pleasantly surprised. I would certainly go to Gulf Coast again if I was in the market for one of their vehicles. More

Just kidding, they say! 🃏 The "winning number" is hidden in microscopic font, and they won't disclose if you've truly won. 🕵️‍♀️ Unethical? Absolutely. Disgusting? You bet. 👉 Our experience wasn't unique. As we were leaving, another person walked in, having driven over 40 minutes, only to be fed the same deceptive line. 😤 Can you believe this during the holidays? ❌ DON'T FALL FOR IT! ❌ Gulf Coast Auto's practices are deplorable, and we won't let them get away with it. Don't give them your hard-earned money! 🚫 Spread the word, share this post, and let's protect each other from falling victim to their scam. 🤬 #GulfCoastAuto #ShadyBusiness #DeceptivePractices #ScamAlert #UnethicalBusiness #ConsumerProtection #SpreadTheWord More

Found the car we wanted online and contacted Gulfcoast Auto who set us up an appointment. Drove down test drove the car and it was exactly what we were looking for. The car still had the old price on the Auto who set us up an appointment. Drove down test drove the car and it was exactly what we were looking for. The car still had the old price on the windshield which when I asked there salesman Basil quickly told me the price I had seen online. There was no no escalation in price which is rare when you get to the dealer. Basil was very professional and did not try to push the deal. He answered all our questions with honesty and integrity which I will recommend Gulfcoast Auto to anyone now. It was a breath of fresh air to deal with such honest people and that goes with the financing also as they got our payment exactly to what we could handle and we drove away in our new car with a great experience. Thank you from Rob and Meghan Hamilton More

Bought a 2016 Land Rover from this dealer. Within weeks of ownership, I have ongoing issues to include a improperly installed eco start motor, coolant leak in upper hoses, fuel pump and fuel p Within weeks of ownership, I have ongoing issues to include a improperly installed eco start motor, coolant leak in upper hoses, fuel pump and fuel pressure issues and multiple engine shut downs while driving. The vehicles error code history shows this was not an isolated incident. First used vehicle I’ve bought in 25 yrs. Before purchasing, take to get inspected first! Updated - I appreciate you response below but I actually did reach out to my salesperson and while he was polite with his response, he was also very dismissive of the issues. After multiple trips to the dealership, it has become evident that this vehicle has a history of the issues I've been experiencing. When you had the vehicle, I'm 100% certain you experienced the vehicle shutting down in ECO mode so that is why you replaced the secondary ECO battery. The problem is that was not the issue. The error codes point to a low fuel error related to the fuel pump and faulty module. There was also a leak in the upper coolant hoses which in order to replace, requires the removal of the entire engine manifold. The leak was not new and had been there for some time because of the amount of residue. Lastly, the front control arm bushings were worn and needed to be replaced. I am not a mechanic so when I purchased the vehicle, I would expect that a reasonable inspection of the vehicle would have uncovered at least some of these items. In fact, Basil told me that you have very good service technician and that the vehicle was in great condition. If you feel the need to discuss further, my number is in the sales folder. More

My Husband and I have know Marcin and his crew for many years, we have bought several cars and trucks from Gulf Coast and have never been disappointed. My grown children have purchased vehicles from Gulf C years, we have bought several cars and trucks from Gulf Coast and have never been disappointed. My grown children have purchased vehicles from Gulf Coast and when one of them had not so great credit, they worked with them until they could find the perfect financing. I would always recommend this car dealer as they think out of the box and are honest. I know they are honest because my husband would have not gone back so many times for vehicles. We do not keep our trucks for more than a few years and that is always the first place he looks. All the salesmen are nice and upfront, we worked with Basil this past time and the teamwork is always so stress free, no hard sales here. Try them is all I can say. Doreen and Mike West More
