I could not be happier! If I could give 10 starts, I would. After 3 days of car shopping we finally decided to give Tomlinson a try, and let me tell you that it was the best car buying experience Ive had! John Michael was very knowledgeable when it came to explaining all the bells and whistles of my new car! He really made the experience fast and easy! Mr. Carter made the paper process go so smoothly, it was unreal! No let me talk to my manager mess! In and out in less than 2 hours. We will definitely be coming back in the near future. Im letting all my friends and family know of the kind, mindful, and efficient people at this establishment! Thank you!!!

We unexpectedly needed a vehicle today and within a few hours we went form viewing the inventory on the Tomlinson website to test driving to signing all the paperwork. It was a wonderful experience, and our second time purchasing a vehicle form Tomlinson. No haggling necessary. No dealer fee. Can’t beat great service. I highly recommend!

Tomlinson is wonderful!! I purchased my car in August of this year. Bill Carter took care of me the whole way through. The process was fast, easy, welcoming and overall satisfactory. I’m in love with my new car... so much so my sister is purchasing from here as well. Highly recommend. A good and honest business man with more than fair prices.

Ben was my salesman and was great! No hassle, no haggle, plenty of selection and it took less than half the time any other dealership in town takes getting paperwork together. Ben got me a great APR and a good price on my trade. Very excited!

JD helped me out the whole way in getting a new model for myself that I been dying to get for awhile! I recommend them when you want to get a good deal on a vehicle but also a reasonable trade price on a existing car you have! Thank you!!! Highly recommended them!

Couldn’t be more pleased with Tomlinson. For as long as I’m in the Gainesville area I will only ever shop for a new vehicle here from now on. Incredibly low prices on top of A+ customer service. When you shop here you can tell these are genuine people who are just trying to help get you a vehicle, not pushy salesman. They are NON commission and you can tell. They have gone above and beyond before, during and after the sale. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Don’t go anywhere else!

Wonderful staff! Really impressed with the cars and trucks they offer and they are very honest about the full process! The staff was helpful but not like hawks circling the parking lot when you arrive like other places in town. The have NO DEALER FEE. Yes, no dealer fee, which is amazing. By far the most honest and best place to buy a car in town. We only spent a few hours there and we left with a truck! It was beyond painless! I 195% recommend!!!

Third time purchase at Tomlinson and, just as the other two, great expieriance. Ben and Mr. Bill know their job and actually saved me some money on an extended warrantee just by asking questions and getting to know the customer and their situation better. They asked about the extended warrantee that I had on my trade and found out that I could cancel that and apply the refund to a new contract on my new vehicle. Saved me over $1000.No pressure.....ever. they do indeed want you to be happy with your purchase. Thats why Im a return customer X3.

Seriously, the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. I knew exactly what car I wanted before going in and it’s the same car I left with. Jorge was completely transparent every step of the way. I left with a 2021 Tucson in the exact trim & interior/exterior color I wanted for less than what I was offered at the dealership. I’m so happy! Thank you Tomlinson & Jorge!!!

Review №18

Hands down the most pleasant car buying experience I have EVER had! Very fair price. I had done my research and knew exactly what I wanted. Made an appointment and told Jorge what cars I was interested in that were listing on the website. Walked in, cars ready for a test drive. No attempts to delay me, steer me towards other higher priced cars, or any other types of high pressure tactics. High quality vehicles with NO attempts to add dealer feels, extra cost, etc. They really mean The price is the price. Was in a bad situation in that my car had been rear ended and totaled, yet ended up with exactly the replacement car I wanted at a price that was fair. Everyone really nice and friendly, the whole place has a nice vibe, staff are relaxed and truly seem to like what they do. Highly professional, courteous, and competent folks. Will always come here first in the future!

This place really does have a no-pressure environment, like other reviewers have stated. Id like to personally thank Jorge Solorzano for a speedy, friendly process of acquiring my purchase. He was cordial and had all the paperwork in order and ready to go. I drove a long way there, so he knew I was ready to head back home and he made the entire process easy. Would definitely do business with them again!

I am in the twilight years of my life and so have experienced car buying numerous times. NEVER have I ever experienced something so wonderful as I did a few days ago at Tomlinson Motor Co. Such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Seriously there cant possibly be another dealer like this in this country. They are so helpful, friendly, and dont try to sell you a myriad of ridiculously overpriced add-ons. Highly recommend this company.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Tomlinson Motor Company, especially John Miller, who showed us with unfailing kindness, no less than 7 vehicles and helped us really hone in on what suited our style and needs.We hadnt planned on buying a car that day to begin with but had our old Hondas transmission take a nose dive. He showed us the car we came to see first (lol) but we are sooooo happy that he really listened to our feedback after the test-drives and found us an amazing deal on a lovely Nissan SUV. My husband loves it (Im totally jealous)! The process was wonderfully seamless. We looked at other places just to do due diligence, but we came back to Tomlinson because the staff was wonderful and really listened to us as consumers and treated us warmly and fairly.We Highly recommend checking them out for your next buy!

Just wanna say that Tomlinson is great! Anytime I’ve had a problem they are able to fix it for me! I plan on going back if and when I need another vehicle. Today I spoke with George and he was able to help me with my problem and fixed it for me!! I was very upset and mad, and never once did he come out of his character! He helped me to the fullest extent, even when I was mad. Thank you!!!!

Was told about this dealer from a family friend, heard very good things from everyone I talked to. I just thought I should check their inventory online and right away I found the truck that I currently own, everything about it caught my eye the price condition the features it had and the best part was dealing with everyone at the dealer I can easily say it was by far the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. I will highly recommend this dealer to all of my friends and family

Could not have had a better experience at Tomlinson Motor Company. Everyone around Gainesville had been telling me I had to go go there and I’m glad I did. It was the easiest car buying experience you could imagine. Showed up. No pushy salesman (which I found out nobody is on commission there) test drove a few and then did paperwork. From the time I arrived to when I drove out in my new car was less than an hour. I also received two sets of keys for the first time when buying a car. 10/10. You won’t be disappointed!

J.D and Bill Carter at Tomlinson made my wife and I first car purchase experience easy and pleasant from the first moment we stepped into his office until we signed the paperwork. My boss referred me to J.D and had nothing but high praise about Tomlinson and how they operate and how genuine they are and I definitely can concur with him. My wife and I began our car search at Tomlinson, left them to shop around at other dealerships in Gainesville, and after a few weeks came back to Tomlinson because we felt they genuinely cared about putting us in a car that we like without trying to deceive or rob our pockets. Bill even advise us to wait until we felt right about the vehicle we like instead of trying to push us into something we didnt want. I truly felt for Bill to say something like that that he genuinely cared about making sure we would be happy with our first purchase. J.D shopped around for the ideal car that we wanted and as soon as he purchase one he call me to let me test drive it and sure enough it was the right car for us. A 2013 Hyundai Sonata with 29K miles in the price range we were looking at. Thank you J.D and Bill for making our first car experience an easy one. We highly recommend Tomlinson Motors for your next vehicle purchase.

Best place to buy a car, the best part how pleasant and simple the transaction. They only sell recent models, low mileage, but priced very competitive, no dealer fees, no exaggerated title tag fees, this place is almost surreal, avoid regular new car dealers, avoid Gatorland Toyota at all cost, Tomlinson is in a class of its own, a very unique breed when it comes to the ease of doing business, A+ Recomended. I got a Kia Forte, so far so good, will update if anything changes.

I have been remiss in not providing a review of Tomlinson, but seriously, a solid group of guys. I first encountered them in September 2020, when my son was driving home from Gainesville and his car broke down on the way (a Sunday, of course). AAA towed it back to Gainesville to Tomlinson. I called them the next day and described what happened. They quickly evaluated the car and determined it was a broken timing belt--basically a fatal event (on a 18 year old car).They were helpful in helping me figure out a salvage service to take the car off our hands. Meanwhile, we shopped at their lot for a car, and were prepared to buy a Nissan Altima (2020, 1000 miles) when it was literally sold while my son was deciding. Their prices were fair, the fees were transparent and low. It gave me a good baseline for what I could expect to pay for such a car, which was helpful when we bought new a week later.Meanwhile, they encouraged me that if we ever needed a service man in Gainesville to give them a shot. I have taken care of our cars in Jacksonville for years with my guys, but having a local company for my kids could be handy if something urgent came up. Last week, the AC on my daughters Lexus RX350 went out, so we brought it by Tomlinson. They had it fixed within the day for under $100 (faulty compressor relay).I have had several experiences with Tomlinson over the past year, all very positive, and am comforted that I have a location that can take car of my kids cars when something comes up that cannot be taken care of at home.

I visited Tomlinson Motor Company today and had a wonderful experience. Bill was very helpful as we discussed sales. I brought my truck in to have their service folks look at it as I received news yesterday from a dealership that the truck needed major repairs. Mark in service, and Scott and Rob were exceptional. They spent quite a bit of time on my vehicle and determined that it was fine for now and did not need the stated repairs. I bought this truck from them and will always bring it there from now on for service. This is a wonderful company!

TMC ReviewI recently brought my Jeep Wrangler to Tomlinson Motor Company for service after I had several lousy experiences with the Jeep dealership. As soon as I arrived I was greeted by friendly staff who directed me to JD. He asked me what I needed and when I told him I needed new tires and service we took a look at my wheel specs and went back inside and he cultivate tire options at a very reasonable price. He ordered them for me so that they would be delivered within the week and he put me in touch with service for the appointment. It was simple, easy, and actually pleasant unlike typical hassle of my former servicer. When I returned a few days later, I brought it to service and was helped by a very kind service staffer who gave me some very simple paper work to fill out and took my keys. I waited in the nice waiting room they have and in about an hour they had done all of my service and installed my new tires. The service was less expensive than my former providers and, again, the tires and installation were a great deal as well. I have never had such an easy and straight forward car service experience. Tomlinson Motor Company has really figured it out because they cost less and they get to the point. They didn’t try any fear tactics by telling me I had to replace a ton of things otherwise my car would break. They took a look and simply did what was needed. It’s was nice to get service done in a timely, hassle free fashion without having to worry about getting upsold or ripped off. I am a tremendous fan and will certainly continue to bring my car to Tomlinson for service.

Over the weekend Jon helped me pick out a 2020 Chevy Equinox and I am in loveee with my new vehicle. I traded in a 2009 Ford Escape for a good price and Jon made it all happen! He was very knowledgeable about the SUV’s I was looking at and helped me find ones that were in my price range but also had the bells and whistles I was wanting. He was professional but also personable. I highly recommend asking for Jon to help you in you are looking to make a purchase.

They met us with masks, they wiped the cars down for us that we were interested in, and gave us an Amazing trade in value!! Which made the difference in going home with a new vehicle or not. They have really nice low milage vehicles in Great condition!!You wont believe how helpful they are with No pressure to buy.

Review №76

I decided that it was time for a newer car. I don’t desire to drive a new car off a car dealer’s lot, and have it depreciate thousands that very second, so I wanted a late model used car. My car is 20 years old and repairing it more often than in the past was something I didn’t want to continue.Ive heard many say that if you want to buy a used car, Tomlinson is the place. My first ever visit to Tomlinson was in Dec. 2017. I wanted to see the vehicles that I had seen posted on their website.I was greeted by a friendly sales person. He explained that all the cars are unlocked, so stay as long as I want, and if I found something, he would get the key so I could drive it. He left so I could peruse the lot, which I found comforting.I found cars I liked, but wasn’t ready to buy. It’s a big purchase, and I keep a car for many years. I didn’t want to rush into anything. This is when I noticed that Tomlinson is different from a typical car dealer.I located the sales guy that I had talked with, and said that I found cars that interested me, but needed to do more research. He said, come back anytime. That was it, and unusual for most car dealers in my past experience. Usually, they don’t want you to leave the lot, as once gone, people typically don’t return to buy. Tomlinson was different. No attitude, no pressure, not anything negative. Just come back when ready.I returned Jan. 13, 2018, to look again after much research. I narrowed my choices to three brands. I was greeted by a friendly sales guy, and said I was going to look around. He said to let anyone know if I wanted to take test drive. After looking, I knew which car I wanted to drive. I located the sales guy, and he asked for my license to copy. I was handed the key. Pretty easy and stress free.Driving on my own, without the sales guy, I was comfortable with the decision that this is the one I wanted. Returning to the lot, I said that I liked it, but wanted to sell my 20 year old car first before buying a replacement. He said come back when you’re ready.I asked for an out-the-door price for the car, tax, tag, title, etc. Sales manager, Mike Brewster calculated it, and it was as I expected. No extra dealer fees or add-ons, no extra anything. It took Mike about a minute. That’s how complex it isnt.There were not any smoke and mirrors. That’s very different from my experiences at a typical car dealer, where they seem to drag it out like some magical ritual that needs further approval from some higher up, then often comes back with a few, non-negotiable extras tacked on. Not at Tomlinson. What they say on their website and in person is true. No dealer fees, just the posted price, and required tax, tag, title, etc.Mike said that he would hold the car for me just on my word while I arranged to sell my old car, no deposit required, and if I changed my mind to let him know so he could remove the hold. Then I just decided to buy the car.The price was fair, selling my old one would be easy because it ran, and one can’t sell a 20 year old car for much. My entire experience at Tomlinson during both of my visits was entirely stress and pressure free. Feeling very comfortable with both of my visits to Tomlinson, I decided it was time to buy.Tomlinson sells late model, low mileage, cars that usually have the balance of the factory warranty, so there really isn’t negotiating wiggle room. Trying to get a few hundred dollars knocked off a reasonable price is not worth my time, and car sales people need to make a living, too.Mike commented that their sales philosophy is that they don’t want to sell you a car, they want you to buy a car. No pressure, fair prices, top selection of used cars, unlocked so one can peruse at their leisure, and let the customer decide what is best for them. I highly recommend visiting Tomlinson when you are looking for a late model used car. Oh, and I purchased a 2017 Toyota Camry.

Made buying a car actually a pleasent experience. Straightforward, no pushy schemes. Hit a small snag when I went to leave with my purchase where one of the two keys wasnt cut. They apologized and immediately called a guy who was there 15 minutes later and cut the key. My parents decided to use them and bought a car about a month later. Definitely worth checking out.

We did our homework prior to going to dealers to see cars. We went to several dealers and ALL of them treated us like we had no business being there. JD at Tomlinson greeted us as soon as we got out of our van. He is very polite and knowledgeable, and showed us several SUVs and compact cars. He let us roam the car lot without any pressure. We found the vehicle we wanted, but went to another dealer to look at one more car. Once again we were treated very poorly, and the salesman could not answer a single question. We immediately went back to Tomlinson and bought the 2017 Jeep Patriot. Bob in financing was spectacular. NO DEALER FEES! That really sealed the deal. We are very happy with our purchase, and Tomlinson Motor Company has a new lifetime customer. Thank you to all the wonderful people at Tomlinson.

Back near the end September, I bought a 2018 Toyota Avalon from Tomlinson. Jon Valentine helped me through the process and was very patient with me as a first time car-buyer. I was unsure of what I wanted and he helped me make a decision through his own personal experience and gave some very good advice.Being young and a first time car-buyer, I had a decent credit score but no credit history, so most places gave me pretty bad loans/interest rates. Jon told me to wait on finalizing everything as he was going to see what he could do to help me out. I got a call the next day from Jon saying that he had managed to get me a very good (4.9) interest rate for my credit history and from there I went on to buy my car buy my experience did not end there.A few weeks ago I was rear-ended at a stop and my car ended up getting totaled. The process was very unpleasant and between my credit union and the insurance company, neither were able to tell me if I had gap covered, thankfully I did. I called up Jon and he remembered me from those month ago. He told me that I certainly DID have gap coverage. He found my file, and emailed it to me immediately. He also included his number and told me that if there was anything he could do to help, to just give him a call morning, noon, or night. Jon really goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service.Long story short, the car I got was in great condition and well maintained. The service I got was unparalleled and felt like I was dealing with friends--not a business. Since my car was totaled, I need a new one soon and the very first place I am going to is Tomlinson Motor Co.

Tomlinson Auto is by far the easiest dealership to work with! I had to find a new vehicle fast and it was also my first time buying a car, but everyone was very knowledge and helpful and not pushy at all. They definitely made it a good experience for me. Not only was the atmosphere refreshing during the car shopping process, they also had a good selection of cars to look. All I had to do was tell them what I was looking for and they pointed me in the right direction. Very happy with my new ride!

Extremely well organized, courteous and honest. No dealer fee and competitive pricing. I drove from Tampa to purchase a 2018 Subaru Forester XT. It was in fine condition and had a number of unadvertised extras. Delighted with it.Great place to buy a car.

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.

Wow! What an incredible experience. From the second you pull onto the lot to the second you leave (wether you purchase a vehicle or not) you will be treated with the utmost integrity and respect. John, Bob, and other employees of who’s names I did not catch, were nothing short of courteous and professional. 100% will be purchasing my next vehicle here and probably every vehicle in the future.Thank you!

Absolutely the BEST experience buying cars from here. It was relaxed, frank and no pressure to commit to anything.We were buying our first car and we heard from a lot of our friends and even our bank to go here for the best deals in town.They have great cars, with low mileage at fair prices (Most show up as Fair purchase price on Kelley Blue book).In the morning I was quoted an amount and I paid exactly that and not a cent more in any costs.Only thing they did tell us about was their excellent extended warranty. In case on any problems with the car, bring the car to them and you get another one till yours is fixed up, unlike their competitors who will give a different car at end of day or something like that.They never tried to sell it to us.They are one of most recommended dealerships in town with nearly no marketing anywhere at all. They provide a service to this community which is unlike anything I have experienced before. I wish the best of luck to the Team at Tomlinson.

Our used car shopping experience at Tomlinson was outstanding - we would highly recommend them for anyone wanting a great deal on very high quality, good condition, low mileage car. The staff were highly knowledgeable and helpful, and never rushed us in any way to make our final decision. This was in stark contrast to our experience with another used car dealership in Gainesville. This was our third vehicle purchase from this family-owned dealership.

Five ⭐s are not enough. My sales rep was awesome. They really cut me a deal to get me out of my used 2013. I am overjoyed about my new 2018 used vehicle with low mileage, thank you!

Great place to buy a vehicle. They let me look around, sit in and test drive vehicles without trying to sell anything to me. Purchasing was quick and easy. No hidden fees. Only down side was the cramp in my hand from signing so much paperwork. Thank you so much to Jorge for helping!

My experience at Tomlinson was a very pleasant surprise, especially since I have not had good car buying experiences. Blane changed that opinion, he was knowledgeable, courteous and did not try to pressure sell me at all. Jon, one of the managers, handled the paperwork quickly and efficiently. If you are looking for a quality used car, I highly recommend checking out Tomlinson Motor Company and ask for Blane.

The guys that walk out to show you the car are great (not salesmen). I would give them five stars. However, they didnt give me what they said they would for my trade in. I suggest you get it in writing. They never showed me the extended warranty options they only told me one option. I recommend you ask to SEE all options so you can choose your own. They do have nice vehicles and NO dealer-hidden fees. The owner JD Tomlinson is a very nice man and wants you to have a great car buying experience! I would purchase another car here. I would not trade my car.

We were in today and they were awesome, a very quick seamless experience, from trading in our vehicle, to signing the paperwork for the new vehicle was only about an hour. Jared was very helpful and no pressure when we were looking at their cars, easy test drive process, and still zero pressure and John made the buying/paperwork process painless and quick, will definitely be back and will recommend them to friends.
