I have now purchased two vehicles from him and will continue to do so in the future. Eric was upfront and honest with me about every detail from the first handshake to the last signature. I appreciated him and how he conducts himself as a salesman and would not want to buy a car from any other dealer!!!! More

DO NOT buy a car here There should be an option to give 0 stars. You do not want to buy a car from this outfit. I was given a verbal agreement to a particular deal from Tim There should be an option to give 0 stars. You do not want to buy a car from this outfit. I was given a verbal agreement to a particular deal from Tim my salesman. But they had slipped in a different deal on the paperwork at closing. I'm a pretty educated person, but not being a lawyer, I didn't catch the change in the paperwork and it cost me. You would be better off buying your car elsewhere or bring an attorney to review your paperwork if buying from these guys. They cannot be trusted. They are the perfect embodiment of the sleazy used car dealer caricature. On top of that, the finance manager actually hung up on me as I was trying to discuss this matter with him. This is the last place you want to shop at. More

Deceptive business practices DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES, STAY AWAY! On 8.15.15, I called Beach Blvd automotive to let them know that my Brother had been arrested and his truck DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES, STAY AWAY! On 8.15.15, I called Beach Blvd automotive to let them know that my Brother had been arrested and his truck that he had purchased there a mpnth and a half or so before was needing to be moved. I asked if I could show them ID and get an extra key so that I could get it home and safe from being towed. I let them know that I'd be making the payment until he was released so that he wouldn't lose the truck that he worked so hard for. They seemed very sympathetic and after several phone calls said they would be happy to tow it to their shop and I could call Mr. John King on Monday 8.17 to make arrangements to pick it up. They explained that he was aware of the situation and "wanted to help." So, I called several times on Monday, tuesday, Wednesday but could never get him to return my calls. I finally got him on the phone and he was all but nice and accomodating. He tells me i cant pick up the truck because im not on the loan. Then he tells me that I could "buy" my brothers truck by putting down $3700 and giving them credit information. So, he is willing to illegally sell my Brothers property to me as long as I had enough cash? Btw, the payment at that time was paid up for the entire month so there was no reason to hold the vehicle. Fast forward to yesterday, 9 4 15. I go to the jail and my Brother signs, and has notorized, a durable power of attorney that allows me to act as his attorney in fact and pick up his property. I had just made his payment on 9.1.15 to make sure there wouldn't be any issues. My Mother and I go to beach Blvd automotive to pick up the vehicle and he wouldn't agree to give it to us. I had the power of attorney, my identification, and proof of insurance. After a few short minutes of speaking with Mr. King, he calls the police on us and claims we are disturbing the peace and his customers. (We were in his closed office the entire time.) They came and were clearly on our side, but couldn't make Mr. King return the property. I'll be plastering their deceptive business practices all over the city of jacksonville until I have the truck in my possessesion. More

Better than expected I read most of the reviews of this dealership which had a car I was looking for. When I realized the car I narrowed my search to was not only in Flori I read most of the reviews of this dealership which had a car I was looking for. When I realized the car I narrowed my search to was not only in Florida (I'm in TN) but was at a dealership with such bad reviews I was nervous to pursue it. I ended up deciding to go for it anyway and although they couldn't negotiate on the price (I financed with one of their lenders*), it was already a fair price anyway. If I had cash I'm sure they would have come down a bit. They were able to pre-approve me fairly quickly and my salesman Kile was courteous and professional, he very clearly stated what was needed from me and provided all information in all formats requested by me. After 8 hours of driving to pick up the car I wouldn't say I was greeted with enthusiasm but they did wash the car and had all documents prepared and ready for me when I arrived. I was in and out in an acceptable amount of time and kudos to Kile for taking the time to ride with me to drop my rental car off at the airport 30 minutes away! It appears that if you do your research and are vigilant on your end then they will meet you halfway without issue. They may be rough around the edges but it appears they are trying to shake their old reputation and genuinely become a better dealership with the new people they are bringing on board. You also have to understand they are in transition from a "buy here pay here" lot to something more legitimate and these things take time. I went in with low expectations and stuck my neck out but so far everything has turned out much better than expected. Do your research, be prepared and ask for Kile and I think you will be fine. More
