I’ve been using Gulf Coast Auto as my go to used car dealer for 20 years. I’ve never been lead wrong and they always treat me like family. Out of the 8 vehicles I’ve bought from there, only one had a minor issue and that was taken care of immediately. Marcin, Samer, Troy, and the rest of the staff are wonderful to work with and I send everyone I know to them because I trust them. Yes, I’d even send my own mother there. Trust is rare in that business, and you guys have mine. Thank you for helping my family out once again.

With Troys help I was able to purchase my dream car.. A gorgeous Acura. He was so helpful with explaining every step of the purchasing process and what that vehicle had to offer me for my needs. He even went out of his way with finding the best finance options and low interest rate. I had a great experience and I will always come back to buy my vehicles and my families vehicles from here on out. I definitely recommend all my friends, family, and co-workers to come.

Wish I could give this dealer 10 stars. AWESOME people and salesman. They couldn’t do enough for us. Purchased a truck w a trade in and was in and out with in 1 1/2 .my salesman was Harold. I would go back there again in a heartbeat. Wonderful, kind, honest people.Drive all the way from Spring Hill. Thank you gentleman. Debbie and Anthony

After spending weeks and hours at dealerships looking for cars and deciding what to do with my lease at its end, I was left completely frustrated and ready to walk away entirely, taking a huge loss and leaving me without transportation. I was way over my allotted mileage and visited multiple dealers in the area, only to be told they couldnt purchase my vehicle, to the original dealer where they low-balled my trade in value, made me feel like I had no other option, and made promises they could not deliver. I decided to visit Gulf Coast Auto Brokers to see if I had an option with them. When arriving, Harold was outside awaiting my arrival with a smile on his face and was willing to help however he could. Not only was Harold extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating, I never once felt pressure to purchase a vehicle, nor make any hasty decisions. It was the most seamless, friendly, and best car buying experience I have ever had! I could not be more grateful for Harold and Patrick for working hard to put me in a car I have always wanted and for keeping me out of debt! (They offered me thousands more for my vehicle than any other location!) Gulf Coast Auto is where I will be taking my business from now on, and will continue to recommend them to family, friends and the community. Thank you Harold, Patrick, and Gulf Coast Auto!

I had a great experience purchasing my 2016 mustang with Gulf Coast Auto Brokers. I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything, rather Basil was very patient with me and taking the time to answer all my questions (first time financing a vehicle). He also had a great sense of humor which is always a plus. And when it came time to sign papers, Patrick was also super helpful and patient. They have a great professional staff on deck and from what I can see, they have quality cars on the lot. Very grateful 🙏🏻

I can’t even express how great gulf coast auto brokers is. Firstly my sales guy was Basil and he was so kind attentive and was very patient with me and all my questions. After the purchase of my car I had additional questions and basil was so wonderful. He even called and checked on me to make sure I was happy. Can’t recommend basil enough!! On top of that ozzy was an amazing help too. So happy. Thanks again guys!

I live in NC and recently purchased a used car from Harold at GCAB. The vehicle was in nearly new condition and the service was the best ever in 40 years of buying cars.Harold is simply the best as are the entire GCAB team. That I am 400 or more miles away and the service was like Harold was a neighbor makes my experience even more fantastic.Please give Harold a call when you are in need of a vehicle.

I had my eye set of this raptor in Bradenton and planned on buying it that day. Before making the trek up to Bradenton I stopped by gulf coast to look at this truck my brother told me about. They had a lot of really nice vehicles on the lot but the raptor was a definite stand out, They had it out and ready for a test drive. Now granted it I’m a younger kid who’s worked really hard my entire life. Other dealerships would judge me or come at me like. “You sure you can afford these types of vehicles”, not gulfcoast… they were super stand up people. Nice, and easy to talk to, told them about my interest in another truck somewhere else and they were even willing to work with the competitors trade in price to satisfy my needs. And in about 15 minutes. I had the keys and my hand and was off. Really enjoyed their business and will send anyone I know looking for there next car or truck their way.

Paul was my salesman when I bought my new Gladiator. He not only showed me how to take off the roof and connect my phone, But he also let me drive it to my house to make sure it fit! Great guy,made my buying experience wonderful!

Great experience. I had a car shipped as I lived in another state. Didnt see the car before purchase. The car was absolutely beautiful. Troy was my salesman, great guy. Made the whole process every easy I would recommend these guys too anyone.

I have to give a shoutout to the wonderful guys at Gulf Coast Auto Brokers! We’ve purchased 2 cars from them in the past year and we are absolutely happy with the service and products we’ve gotten. Both purchases we worked with Basil, who is a delight to work with! For once we found a car salesman who is NOT pushy and really listens to our needs! Also want to thank Art who got our financing for us as we are a hard case to work with since we are both self employed.If they don’t have what you are looking for, call or stop in to see Basil and they will find you what you are looking for!My first purchase last year was a 2012 black on black 535i 5series BMW.- my black beauty 🥰This purchase was a 2013 Candy Apple Red Lincoln MKS with REALLY LOW MILES! Killer deal and it’s CHERRY INSIDE AND OUT!!!I can’t see ourselves buying from anyone else. We tell everyone about Gulf Coast Auto Brokers!Go see Basil and tell him RED and Gene sent you!

Harold was wonderful to work with!! From the first phone call to closing the deal was painless and easy. I wish it was always this great! Bought a pre owned f250 from him. Beautiful and in great condition. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Harold and your financial department for a quick and easy process. Will purchase future vehicles from them. Can’t say enough great things about this place. If your looking for an honest dealer and humbly nice people to work with, this is your place.

Great customer service Troy and Patrick helped me out a lot, was recently involved in an accident and lost my car and they helped me every way possible to get me back into another Mustang great people treated me like a friend/family helped me back on my feet definitely would buy another car/truck from them in the future

These guys are the worst! Crooks scammed my friend on some warranty that they cancelled and now they will not reimburse them?! Stay away from them unless you want to get burned

Troy sold me car, great service.. recommended!

Loved working with Troy. Definitely, understands what he doing. Thank you

I have now purchased two trucks from Gulf Coast Auto Brokers. Sales personal are professional and I never had any problems with them. Watch out for the extended warranty sales pitch from the finance manager. My truck purchased from Gulf Coast is a 2500 series Dodge Ram Diesel. There was some aftermarket work done on the truck and this was discussed in detail before the sale was complete. I was assured that the warranty was covering the truck as it was sold. NOT THE CASE. now I am stuck with a 5K transmission rebuild. BEWARE of extended warranty claims as they are false.

Harold and Patrick and this company are very highly recommended, they are Absolutely The Best, very professional and friendly. Id drive another 8 hours to purchase a car!!!!!

The staff was awesome, my salesman Harold was not pushy at all, he took care of all my needs and made my transactions so easy..if you need a new or used vehicle this is the place to go to..thanks again harold and Gulf Coast. Ernie Mannhart 09-08 2021

Great experience. Basil at Gulf Coast was prompt at reaching out to me about the vehicle. Not only did he hold it for me until I got there, but it was ready to show when I arrived.The time of purchase was less than 30 minutes and that included getting the tag and registration in hand. When I picked up the vehicle the next day it was detailed and ready to drive off the lot.I would highly recommend these guys for your next purchase. I will definitely reach out to them before I do another search.Matt M.

From first point of contact until the signing of the paperwork, everything was perfect! This was the best car buying experience we have ever had. As soon as we arrived at the dealership Basil had the car we knew we wanted,waiting in front for us to test drive. He was so happy we were there and made us feel so comfortable and stress-free. Art was great as well. So friendly and knowledgeable and answered all our questions thoroughly.We will definitely enjoy our new challenger thanks to you guys!

Best place to purchase a car hands down. We had the pleasure to be assisted by Paulie who was very kind, helpful and informative (not the typical pushy car salesman guy rather helpful and trustworthy). After finding the car we wanted, the paper work and finance was a piece of cake with the help of The expert Alicia who was more than accommodating, genuine and happy to help.

What a great experience! Lets face it, weve all dealt with the typical used car lots at least once, and we all generally walk away feeling just a little bit dirtier than we did when we walked in. This place is absolutely the opposite. I sent a message to Mark Vann after seeing a vehicle online that I was interested in. He responded to my questions quickly, so I jumped in the truck and made the trek from Temple Terrace to Sarasota. When I arrived I was greeted immediately. And when I say greeted I dont mean swarmed by pushy salesman. I was pleasantly greeted and pointed in the direction in which I could find Mark. I introduced myself to him and he knew who I was and what car I was there to see. Instead of automatically trying to talk numbers or trying to dig financial info out of me, he simply went and got the keys and we went for a test drive. When we returned to the lot we went straight to his office and just talked over some real numbers without all the sales pitch and without any pressure. It was almost like just visiting a buddy at his job. The amazing thing about this whole trip is that Mark and his crew are so real and down to earth that they didnt even sell me the car. The friendliness, professionalism, honesty, quality of the car, and the overall lack of the stereotypical sales tactics sold the car all by themselves. I simply cannot say enough how awesome an experience it was for me. Ive worked at new car dealerships before and have visited my share of used dealerships as well, and have NEVER witnessed such honesty and professionalism as I did. On top of that I drove off with a VERY nice car at a heck of a deal. Mark Vann and the rest of the staff here have mastered their craft and I HIGHLY recommend you give them the opportunity to give you the same experience!

The best auto dealer I have worked with. They beat the interest rate I brought in. The car I bought was everything they said and more. They are a top class dealership from the sales man Troy to the the finance manager Patrick. If you need a car and want to work with up front dealer these are the guys to trust. I know I will always look here first when Im buying my next car.

Purchased a Lexus ES 350 and was told by Harold the day we were getting the money the car was fine. It was shipped yesterday with paint not matching on the passenger side door and fender where it has been in a accident. Left taillight CRACKED. Passenger rims scarred up. What happened to being honest. You knew it was this way before you shipped it. Poor workmanship for a car with low miles. You should be ashamed. I recommend that NO ONE purchase anything from you unless they can put their hands on it

From the moment I received the phone call and filling out all my paper work it was a beautiful process. Literally every one that works there are down to earth and really take interest in knowing who you are as a person and making sure that you’re getting the best car. Basil and his team are great!!!

Paulie, Patrick, and Ozzie made this truck purchase an absolute breeze. I couldn’t have asked for better customer service when buying a vehicle than what I received from these guy. 5 stars all around.

I made an account just to describe how wonderful my experience was working with Basil at Gulf Coast Auto Brokers. I purchased an older Prius and expressed some concerns that were immediately and professionally taken care of by Basil.He communicated with me every step of the way and I was in and out of the dealership in record time.Thank you very much Gulf Coast Auto Brokers!

Excellent customer service and experience! Very knowledgeable staff - Harold Lowe was great to work with. No funny business. Swift and to the point. Transparent, too. Definitely would recommend :) I got a 2010 Toyota Prius III from them and am super happy :)

I was so pleasantly surprised with my experience buying a car. I have never been made so comfortable making such an important purchase but Tróy was there every step of the way and answering all the questions I had. If you’re looking for a car to buy, this is definitely the place to go!

I was looking for a very specific vehicle and GCAB had exactly what I wanted. Because I do not live in the Sarasota area, the transaction was done remotely. The whole process was extremely professional, quick and easy. Thank you Harold and Patrick. Great experience.

I’m very happy and satisfied with my car buying experience at Gulf Coast Auto Brokers. I love my new white Benz E350. Excellent customer service and process was quick and ease. Thanks Marcin for all the support. I recommend and will definitely be buying other cars from them in the future.

I’m not sure what this company’s reputation is in the local area, but I would strongly caution against buying from them out of state. I purchased a 2004 F250 Harley Davidson Edition (VIN 1FTNW21P94EC16725) with 79k miles, 1 owner, listed as “mint truck” (currently listed as “nice”) and rust free. “Mint” under any circumstances will naturally be relative to the vehicle’s age, but I’m certain that under no circumstances could “mint” be used to describe a vehicle in need of $4000+ worth of major body work, as determined by 3 different repair estimates of $3700, $3900 and $4900, respectively (there were additional damages and rust as well ). After viewing over 40 pictures online, speaking with 2 sales reps in addition to the general manager, and asking several times if there was anything that could be seen or was known to be wrong with the truck, I was repeatedly assured that there was not. The GM even stated that this was “the nicest truck of this year range and model he ever had on the lot in his 14 years there”. After paying $900 to have it delivered, I noticed significant damage to the top of the cab within minutes of it sitting in my driveway. Also, the missing weather stripping had allowed water to seep in around rear window seal (rear power window also does not function properly).Their remediating offers were 1. $1500 refund and call it good. 2. I pay shipping back, they “fix” it without actually repairing it for roughly $700, most likely with a hammer, bondo and paint match (GM’s blindly made guestimate….which to be so adamant in one’s conviction that the estimates from 3 highly reputable body shops, each in business for well over 20 years were essentially wrong and overpriced, while concomitantly admitting to having no auto body experience of your own as per our conversation, is a bold statement indeed when made in absolute ignorance), and 3. I pay return shipping, contract is cancelled and funds returned…minus shipping. All offers were not only insulting, but highly frustrating as the truck never should have left the lot like that, which the GM interestingly stated himself in one of our several phone conversations. After the third estimate, which I had solely for a good 3 figure average to send to my attorney for small claims court, I decided to return the truck as there was additional (and pretty severe) rust found on the crossmembers under the bed. Parts of the undercarriage had also been spray-painted in an effort to hide….surface rust most likely. Essentially, a $4000-$5000 repair could have easily turned into a few to several thousand more. Lots of other cosmetic issues with this truck and no reasonable person, including judge and jury, would believe that such damage could be overlooked by so many people when I found it within minutes and minimal effort. Burden of proof to the contrary falls on the dealership. Purchase agreement had to be signed and payment made before they would post for shipping, so no prior inspection could have been made. If buying out of state, review Florida’s Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which covers attorney fees in addition to repair costs if you feel the vehicle is actually worth keeping. The truck is now listed for the same price as it was initially, $21,888. It is highly unlikely that any repairs were made as they simply changed one word in the posting, “mint” to “nice” and posted for sale within a day of its return.Lastly, after they received the truck, it took 5 business days of constant calling and hounding for them to initiate my refund. “As is” and tricky fine lined purchase agreements are not always a “gotcha” regarding legal recourse, it just depends on your specific circumstances, determining the actual “worth” of the vehicle and finding the right attorney(s) dealing with this kind of thing (for future reference Gulf Coast Auto, fix yourselves).

Bought my wife a suv no problems in last 3 years other then when I first got the car and wasnt told that windows didnt go up and down and abs light came on 5 miles when I left .but motor and transmission been strong no issues ...

I had been searching for a clean BMW! I went and called several dealers and was not impressed. I looked online and found Gulf Coast Auto in Sarasota! I’m from Naples it was a short drive but could not be more pleased.!!! I spoke with Troy and he was so accommodating! Truly a pleasure to work with! The finance guy was also super pleasant!! Would recommend this place! And hope to buy another car for my husband soon!!Thanks again!!Leidy 😊

I saw a vehicle I was interested in online, gave these folks a call, and ended up driving home in said vehicle same day. Troy answered my initial inquiry and met me when I came down to see the car and test drive it, and once it was decided Id buy the car also arranged for the car I drove (that I wasnt trading in) to be delivered back to my house so I could take the new one home. Art handled the financing efficiently and thoroughly and without pressuring me. To top it off, the car is in fantastic condition and low mileage. Id recommend them to anyone looking to buy a quality used car.

Car buying done right...Paulie was right on point with everything from details about the vehicle I purchased to optional warranties and financing. Very knowledgeable and professional. An asset to Gulf Coast. Would definitely buy from him again.

Came from a YouTube video where a prank was done on this dealership and I can say if I did live around here I would’ve certainly checked out this place if I was going to buy a car. The salesman in the prank was AWESOME! Also, the other reviews from actual buyers do seem very promising.

So glad I got my first car from this dealer! Everyone was very kind and my experience was great. Troy, who was extremely helpful, initially assisted us over the phone since we live a few hours away and got the paperwork and everything ready to go. We knew he wouldnt be there on the day we were coming so when we arrived, another man helped us out... shout out to Basil! Super kind and patient and really helped me through the rest of the process! Thank you and thank you to everyone at Gulf Coast Auto Brokers!!

This is a fantastic place to go if you need a quality used car! All of the cars, trucks and SUVs on this lot are in excellent condition! Harold made the purchasing process absolutely effortless for me. Thanks Harold for all your help!

Shady Business Practices. I was purchasing a 2015 Cadillac Escalade from out of state and went through all of the financing etc. My credit was pulled 2x once by the dealership and once by the financing company. I was told by the finance manager I have great credit and the vehicle was locked in and mine. I told him I was even willing to put 5-10K down over the phone but was told they do not do that. They said they would put the financing paperwork in the mail that day (Wednesday) and the vehicle was not going anywhere. The next day (Thursday) I did not receive the paperwork in the mail, So Friday at 9am I called my sales rep to ask what was going on. He informed me that the vehicle had been sold to someone else Thursday evening. I asked him how could this be when I was told the vehicle was being held, my credit was pulled and the paperwork was in the mail. I was told it was his managers decision. I asked for the manager to give me a call. Upon receiving this call the first words out of the manager mouth were You should be glad you did not purchase that vehicle, let me explain Then goes on to tell me that it had Transmission issues and shudders when shifting between gears. Then tells me that there were metal shavings in the transmission fluid. So either they sold this car out from under me to someone else and their were not any issues and he is trying to cover his @$$ or he was going to sell me/ sold someone else a vehicle with transmission issues. Either way shady business practices. I do not recommend working with this dealership as you cannot trust them!

Gulf Coast Auto is top notch. Personal Thank you to Matt who worked hard to make my purchase happen and even assisted me with getting my other vehicle repaired. 30 years ago I got my first car a 73 Challenger. 30 years later I got one again. I have been dreaming of one for 12 years. Thank you for helping make it happen!

We received excellent professional service from Luis. Excellent service and very friendly business. So happy with our new vehicle! Thank you

There isnt enough stars to accurately describe my buying experience at Gulf Coast Auto Brokers of Sarasota. On a scale of 5 stars, Id give them 10!Mark and Steve went above and beyond for me and I highly recommend purchasing your next car from them. You will be glad you did. Thanks guys, I love my 370z!!!

Husband and I went there on a Sunday, just before closing.. we were quickly greeted by Harold who introduced himself to us, said if you are interested in anything, I’ll be inside... Immediately my husband said “we’re buying a car from here”. It was exactly the kind of salesmanship we wanted (meet and greet and Don’t follow us around like a puppy dog). Found a beautiful Volvo and went in to see Harold. Even though it was very close to closing he offered to let us test drive the car, which we did.. got an exact amount the car would be including taxes, tags, etc and we left a small deposit.Called Harold the next morning (which was a holiday) gave info for financing and within an hour we were notified to come get our Volvo!!!!Besides Harold, Patrick (financing) was top notch as well.. got us a very low rate which made the experience even better!!!These two are very good at what they do.. Thank you for making this experience as great as you did with no anxiety whatsoever!!!👍will go back here for further purchases!!

Pauly is the go to guy for a great car truly cares about his customers with a hundred percent satisfaction! You’re not treated as a client but as a human, reliable vehicles and just a great company thank you Paul, you the man!

Bought this car this morning as my son’s starter car from Dave S. Test drove on Saturday, and he held a deposit until I could go back today to purchase. Car runs like a dream and is in great condition. Will definitely deal with Dave again for future car needs! Go see this guy, he’s the real deal!

A real pleasure to do business with. Thank you Paul & Patrick making this a smooth transaction.

I was viewing cars on cars.com and came across a hell of a deal on a 09 328i bmw. i spoke with Harold about potentially buying the car and he put me at ease thinking this car was just another scam. id rate this dealership more than 5 stars for their customer service, the staff was more than nice and respectful. 11/10 would recommend! thank you guys!

Can’t thank these guys enough Matt the salesman was awesome very knowledgeable, friendly and absolutely no pressure at all,the finance guy worked wonders and got me financed with fair credit at a great rate!!!i have traveled from Bradenton to Tampa to Orlando in search of a truck And was not impressed with the trucks or the prices so I decided to try Sarasota and found gulf coast auto brokers huge selection of super nice trucks and cars priced very fairly please save yourself some time and check this place out first.they earned a great customer. Thanks gulf coast !!!!

Best car buying experience ever! No BS, all of the sales reps were friendly and they put me in a beautiful affordable car. They def have my business for life, and if you’re in the market for a new car Gulf Coast Auto is your best choice!!! Tell them Andre sent you!!

Great staff and great selection on vehicles. Im definitely going to recommend my family and friends.

I had a great experience purchasing a pre-owned vehicle with Basil. He was knowledgeable, prompt, and very professional. I highly recommend purchasing a vehicle at Gulf Coast Auto Brokers and ask for Basil.

Super Friendly! Great prices! Dave and the staff helped get me a car with a great financing rate! In and out in less than 1 hour. I did the research before going so I knew exactly what to expect for the vehicle. I had a pre-approved loan Prior to Visiting Gulf Coast Auto. Completed a test drive, traded in my van and did the plate transfer in less than an hour. Got a great deal on a 2014 Ford Fusion SE. They had lots of makes and models from Super High End vehicles (Bentley and Porsches) to Hondas and everything in between. So if youre looking for a company that has your best interest in mind, Reach out to Gulf Coast Auto of Sarasota.

Mark @ Gulf Coast Auto was a pleasure to work with. They have a great selection of high end cars to meet any budget. It was one of the best buying experiences Ive ever had buying a car. Highly recommend them. Will definitely buy from them again.

Usual used car dealer nothing special about this place when I left I had to check toake sure I still had my wallet..

Troy worked with me remotely to get a good deal on the truck we purchased. The dealership was honest, timely, and overall very helpful.

My son went to this facility a little over a week ago to replace a truck that he had just lost in an accident . We traveled there from Naples and they assured us they were a quality place of business as they had a reputation to upkeep. Our sales person told us the truck we were looking at even though it was older and had many many miles on it, had been checked out thoroughly by their mechanics and told us that the only issue they found was some thing with the exhaust. While they offered no warranty the fact that 4 days later the truck wasn’t drivable, had to be towed to a local mechanic here in Naples who gave us a list of over $4200 worth of things that were wrong and that had been wrong when this dealership sold us the vehicle. When contacting them about this the reply was sorry about that but we can’t guarantee anything. I hope you realize this truck was the main source of my sons business, his ability to get his son from place to place and only means of transportation. I hope you know that you refusing to even reimburse him for part of the repairs that are having to be done on this truck is bad business. I hope you slept well when you saw him drive off your lot excited about his new purchase and knowing that there was no way that truck was going to last him another few weeks. I am a business owner myself, I know you can’t please everyone and you can’t guarantee everything but what you can do is reach out to try to compromise on a resolution.... that’s what good business people do.

Bought a car thru them, simple process, very nice easygoing people who went out of their way to make my experience a great one. Thanks guys.

It was very easy dealing with GCAB, specifically Harold & Patrick. The entire process from initial interest and signing and driving off the lot was hassle and problem free. They respond quickly to all questions and concerns; zero fluff and everything straight to the point. Thank you gentlemen!

This is a horrible car dealership!!! We were literally having everything processed to buy a car. An they sold the car to someone else!! Who does that?? When we were waiting to sign paperwork on it!! So wrong! Greedy men!!

Had a great experience here, especially being a first-time buyer. Basil was very professional and welcoming. He and his team went the extra mile to get me in the car that best fit me at the best price. I really appreciate the service and will definitely be recommending Gulf Coast Auto Brokers!

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! THEY WILL LIE TO YOU, SHOW YOU DIFFERENT PICTURES OF A GOOD CAR, AND SEND YOU A DIFFERENT ONE! I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS CIGARETTE BURNS AND SMELLS LIKE SMOKE AND WAS ADVERTISED AS CLEAN AND IN GREAT CONDITION! ELI WAS THE SALESPERSON WHO HUNG UP ON ME WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CONDITION. AND BY THE WAY I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE TITLE FROM THEM!

Recently bought a vehicle from Gulf Coast. The entire experience was exceptional. The owner and staff went above and beyond. One of the best car purchasing experiences that I have ever had. I would strongly recommend this dealership if your in the market for a fine pre-owned automobile. Good job folks!

I just bought a car from gulf coast about 2 weeks ago and i have to say Harold was the kindest and most honest car salesmen i think ive ever met. He helped me find a car i love within what i wanted to spend.

What a pleasure it was Working with Basil Siwan from Gulf coast. Absolutely hands down best car buying experience with zero hassle. I walked away with an incredible vehicle. This is my second time buying a vehicle with them and wont be my last.

Had a wonderful experience! The guys were very helpful an patient. They didn’t try an push anything on me. Showed me vehicles in my budget. Art and Basil are awesome!I’m loving my 2015 Dodge Dart! Thanks again.

Gulf Coast Auto of Sarasota is by far the best dealership I’ve ever worked with! The entire experience was a breeze. The sales associate Andre was knowledgeable and professional. The financing process was almost too easy to be true. I traveled from out of the area to make this purchase and because of that most of the process was handled by phone or through email. All of my questions were answered not only in a timely manner but thorough as well. From the moment I first communicated with them to the very end of the buying process, I was nothing short of impressed! Thank you Gulf Coast Auto!!

If you’re looking for your dream car at a reasonable price, look no further! Gulfcoast Auto Group has made my husband Chris dream come true! For over 15 years he’s been hoping to own a Lexus GX460. Well, Harold at Gulfcoast Auto Group made it happen! He was very professional, patient and honest with us from the first phone call! He followed up with us throughout the entire process and even after the sale! What a guy! Patrick the Finance Manager also was great! Now my hubby finally got his dream car and he’s happy as can be! Thank you for making his dream come true!

Had a very good experience buying a car from this place! I went there and found the car I wanted with the help of Harold. He was super nice and willing to help; Same with Art in the financial office. I was in and out within an hour.

Awesome dealership, and awesome staff! I personally worked with Basil and Art on buying a 2015 Jeep Wrangler, who made the deal easy and painless. I had to do majority of the deal over the phone, being that I was 4 hours away. I had been shopping for jeeps online and after talking to many dealerships these guys were the only ones who seemed as eager as me to make the deal work for me and them! When I went to pick it up, any question or concern I had they were quick to either provide the answer to or get assistance to get that answer to me. Basil gave me ample time to inspect and drive the jeep, and Art sat with me and broke all the numbers down! I definitely will be calling on these guys in the future! Thanks Auto brokers for the awesome experience!

BEST CAR PLACE EVER!!!!!! Totally recommend this place to friends and family. kid friendly, nice staff and best of all great inventory of cars!!!!and to the people who put bad reviews you are so totally wrong

This is truly a great dealership Troy was straight with me from the start. He let me inspect the vehicle for an hour or more and was never pushy. Only reason they are not getting five stars is the lady that does the title work was on call and took over an hour to get there to finish my transaction. I had a 3 1/2 hour drive ahead of me and it made my time getting home late. Other than that a very great experience!

My experience with golf coast auto was a money pit. $4000-$5000 down, plus payments, Astronomical interest plus all the vehicle repairs. Car was cleaned so I could not see oil issues before I bought it. The entire 3 years I owned the it was constantly in the shop for engine issues. Burning a quart of oil per hundred miles. A GMC Denali with 70,000 miles on it was junk from day one Golf coast auto said they couldn’t help me with any of the issues. Fearing it would break before I could pay it off I lost 7 thousand dollars trading it in. As soon as GMC recalled the vehicle they wanted me to trade it into them for another car. I won’t purchase another vehicle there. I went down the road to Sunset Chevrolet we’ll see how they stand behind their vehicles.

I purchased a Hyundai and Basil took great care of me. He was extremely helpful and responded quickly every time I called. Truly a great guy. If you want truly excellent service I suggest using Basil!

Bout a light blue 2013 Bmw 328i from here in November of 2019. The car has been phenomenal and Gulf Coast Auto fixed all the minor flaws before pick up. Thanks as always for a great deal and absolute transparency.

Luis was absolutely helpful! Very knowledgeable and patient.

I got an Infinity Q50 for a great price. The sales staff was really professional and made it a seamless process without pressure. Troy took great care of me throughout the visit. I will definitely buy my next vehicle from Troy at Gulf Coast Auto.

I’m an 18 year old real estate sales associate and I’ve purchased cars from Mercedes Benz of Wesley Chappel and Reeves BMW Tampa, I was super skeptical to buy my next vehicle from a used car lot but decided to try it out anyway. When I showed up (un-announced) I was greeted by Troy who I informed I was looking at the Silver 535i. Without hesitation we went on a test drive and walk around and not once felt any obligations or pressures which I normally had encountered at the previous dealerships. The car was in excellent condition and freshly washed/cleaned. I mentioned I would like to pay cash which is normally frowned upon in the used car salesman world but Troy showed no disappointment or annoyance. We went inside and glided over the numbers and I was not given some used cars salesman speech or bs up charges and I went through with the purchase. In and out in maybe less than 2 hours which is unbelievable I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I highly recommend Gulf Coast Sarasota and especially Troy, ( the whole staff was great too ). I’d put 10/5 stars if I could.

They where professionals . No pressure ...clear up front, no price hassle, First time i felt good after a dealer ship visitThey call me up the next day make sure everything is still fine with the carThank again Pauly 👍

I bought a 2014 Ford Focus st for 16,000 From them but they failed to tell me that the car had tune on it. I didn’t know at the time. They also failed to go through and make sure that nothing what was wrong with it. i took it to my my Mechanic and he discovered that the stock intercooling pipe was blown with a giant tear down the center not only that there was a misfire in cylinder 1, they even tried everything to figure what was causing it and then they found out that the Piston is blown. So I have this focus that I can even drive that I’m paying and they won’t do anything about.... DONT BUYYY ANYTHING FOR HEREE........

Had a good buying experience working with Luis. He brought me the vehicle and paperwork to sign at my workplace and saved me time and hassle. I would recommend them if your in the market.

Very helpful and friendly customer service. Matt was a big help from start to finish and Dale is the nicest guy. Overall great experience. Will definitely keep them at the top of my list for my high quality used car buying.

I had mostly a good experience buying my BMW i3 from this dealer especially since I was not local and the paperwork was done very efficiently via phone, text and email. But some details of the car like missing second key, floor mats etc where not informed prior to the sale. Lack of second key seriously affects the value of the car and I have to pay around $400 for a duplicate key. Floor mats not as much but still an expense. I wouldn’t trust this dealer again due to these omissions.

Experience with the dealership was so horrible. I can say the only good experience I had was with my salesman Matt, he was very helpful but the head sales manager was not helpful at all. Bought a 2013 Ford Mustang gt as my first car and this car was amazing until I found out it was listed as frame damage at 3 different auctions so I can’t trade it in. I brought it to the attention of the owner of the dealership and head manager and they denied it when I showed proof and they have been ignoring me when I try contacting them to buy the car back so I can get a newer car. Never was given a CarFax or offered one and when I asked that head salesman he ignored me. Very bad experience with higher up.

Got a good price for my vehicle. However I had my mechanic look at it and it needed windshield washer reservoir and new wiper blades. We waited 5 hours for this easy fix to be done. Finally after being lied to about the repairs came home to find out wipers not replaced (they sent them by mail). And the reservoir was not touched. A week later I find out the ignition was faulty, and a transmission mount was broken. My part of the bill was $550. Beware of buying a car here. They don’t Even give a 30 day warranty. This was the second vehicle I bought here and the last. Had problems with the first one too Never againJoseph viturale

Literally the easiest car buying process I have ever experienced!! Basil got the deal done effortlessly. The whole deal was done through short phone calls and text messages because Im in GA and they shipped my ride to me. I highly recommend Gulf Coast Auto Brokers if youre looking for an easy car buying experience. Basil did his thing getting the deal done!!

Wonderful experience! Worked with David S. this time (this our 3rd truck purchase with them), he is an extraordinary professional. Great value, wonderful service, financing was efficient and timely. Cant say enough good about this car dealer.

YOU ARE CRAZY IF YOU BUY SOME PLACE ELSE. WORKING WITH BASIL WAS GREAT. HE IS TOP NOTCH. I DID EVERYTHING OVER THE PHONE AND TEXT. QUALITY INVENTORY, GREAT SERVICE FROM THE START TO FINISH. ART IN FINANCE WAS SUPERIOR, QUICK AND A VERY EASY PROCESS. I PLAN ON BUY ANOTHER TRUCK IN 10-11 MONTHS FOR MY BUSINESS. I WILL ONLY DEAL WITH GULF COAST AUTO BROKERS OF SARASOTA. GO THERE AND ASK FOR BASIL AND ART. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CAR, TRUCK OR VAN IN ANY MAKE GO THERE. THEY HAVE A HUGE SELECTION. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ME.

Incredible service! Beautiful selection of cars to choose from. Very friendly...We brought the whole family in and Mark was super! We never felt pressured and he took his time helping us make a big decision for our household. Mr. Bailey in financing was amazingly helpful. His years of experience showed in his great customer service! Melissa was really sweet and helpful when our 5 year old started getting restless. The whole experience was enjoyable. They made our day! We love our new car and will continue to purchase from them in the future...Very near future. Thanks to everyone! A+ all around!

Basal was professional and went above and beyond the Call of Duty to make me happy with my purchase. He was not too pushy and was very very friendly and helpful. Basal bent over Backwards to make sure I was happy !!! I will recommend gulf coast to friends & family .... thanks Basil & gulf coast.

This September I purchased a 2017 Porsche Cayenne from this location. Working with Basil was a pleasure. The buying experience was not stressful, quite frankly it was quick and casual. No pressure, or tricks. Most importantly I have no buyers remorse.

Marcin was my angel. I found the exact car I wanted, but did not have all of the $$ at that very moment. He held the car for me, and without any pressure whatsoever til I had all of it. He fixed the items I requested without any questions! I highly recommend Gulf Coast Auto for your next vehicle. You will be happily surprised.👍😘

Fantastic experience! I can not say enough about the positive experience we had with Basil, Art, and every person we came into contact with. We did our homework before going there and all of their numbers were fair, what we were expecting to hear and upfront- no haggling or uncomfortable conversations were necessary. Financing was quick and multiple offers were presented- literally the first time I have had a car dealer give me a choice on what options were available so I could decide what was best for my situation. Highly recommend!

Excellent selection, prices, and excellent customer service 👌 I was in and out of there, with test drives of multiple vehicles and all, in just a few hours w a beautiful car! Smoothest car buying experience ever. Thanks Matt and Art!!

Mark was very helpful in getting my my Saturn Sky! It has been a car I wanted since it came out! Mark and Art worked diligently to get me approved for the car I wanted. There was no sales pressure and they didnt try to talk me out of the car I wanted. These guys are both Great to work with and i would highly recommend then to anyone looking for a good car!! I look forward to working with both of them in the future!! Thanks so much guys!!

The truly and one of few honest dealerships, thank you

I have bought a lot of cars throughout my life. I have to say, this has been one of the top and best buying experiences I have ever had. Working with Dave was not only fun. I found him to be honest, fair, and extremely caring about how the overall process happened. They really do have a great selection of cars/trucks. And I also found their prices to be extremely fair. Thank you Dave (and Art)!

This place is just the BEST! The Crew is AMAZING! This was my first experience buying a car and Im really Lucky I decided to go and check them out. Matt is AWESOME and the rest of the crew are just the BEST!!!!!!! Recommending everybody and their mother to check them out lol. Ty again for EVERYTHING!!!

Negotiated my price over the phone and had a pre qualified loan. Choose them because of the amazing price. Walked in and Basil helped me right away. Low pressure environment. Filled out paperwork. No hidden fees. Easy transition. Ask for Basil. Best experience I have had buying a car.
