Quick and Content Firkins will be my go-to next time I need a vehicle. When my 2004 Chevy Tahoe finally but suddenly quit, I submitted three or four finance application Firkins will be my go-to next time I need a vehicle. When my 2004 Chevy Tahoe finally but suddenly quit, I submitted three or four finance applications online, immediately, and John Nicholson (my write-in, below) was first to reply. He got me into the office the next morning and, two hours later, had me driving off the lot in a cute, gas saving 2012 Nissan Versa. My credit isn't spotless and time was short so I'm impressed! John & staff were very friendly and the team worked quickly for me. Go to Firkins if you want the task of buying a new car over with and you want to walk (drive) away feeling confident. More
Just the normal car sales tactics of "get them in the door". I was searching for a 2014/2015 Dodge Durango to replace my 2012. I found two almost identical cars listed on the web in the colors I was looking for. I was searching for a 2014/2015 Dodge Durango to replace my 2012. I found two almost identical cars listed on the web in the colors I was looking for. I pulled my own car fax report and saw that both have been there since March. I sent an email and got a scripted response back, you could tell nobody read my email. We exchanged several emails back and forth, all of them were confirming appointments and confirming that both cars were still there. We live in north Pinellas County and the trip there is over an hour each way so I confirmed on Friday night they were there, but somehow when I got there on Saturday both cars were sold. I went to the GSM and there was not a record of a sale of either car the previous day or week for that matter???? I would beware of anything they said to you! These are the things that give all car dealers a bad name, when in fact most are actually good. It's just the few like Firkins and their employees that keep the poor car business reputation going.

Horrible Collision Center Collision Center is extremely unorganized and the dealership lies. Do not trust your vehicle repair needs to this dealer. I could not get anyone to re Collision Center is extremely unorganized and the dealership lies. Do not trust your vehicle repair needs to this dealer. I could not get anyone to return my phone calls nor my emails. That is sad when the collision center manager completely blows you off. This dealer likes to pride itself that is a factory certified repair center. This place is full of liars and cheats. I had my insurance company cancel my repair order because after a week of sitting on their promises, nothing had been done with my vehicle. If you want lied to and the run around then by all means use this dealer. I for one chose not to and would advise against anyone using this dealership for their collision needs. I had my insurance company drop this place as a preferred provider because of the way I was treated. Bud Hoshaw, Carmelo Torres, Christ Hunt. Liars and more Liars. Don not trust!!!! DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. More

Van just clicked when starting Took my 2009 Dodge Caravan into Firkins because it would not start all the time, it would just click when turning over. Two days later they told me i Took my 2009 Dodge Caravan into Firkins because it would not start all the time, it would just click when turning over. Two days later they told me it was the battery with corroded cables that cost $195.63 car rental was $118.21 Over the weekend had trouble with my van so Monday took back in which is 2 miles from my house and all the sudden out of the blue my van is over heating and still had same starting problem. Two days later my bill is $567.25 they said I needed a radiator hose and service on my coolant system flushing, presser test, new fluid. And don’t forget car rental again. Next day my van would not start so I decided to ask around for a reputable Mechanic was told to take it to Keilly’s on Cortez in Bradenton. First there was no car rental because they had a free shuttle service no matter where I wanted to go even to the beach. They found that all I had was a loose wire my total bill was $57.51 The reason why I wrote this review is because Keilly’s took pictures for me and looked over my bill and proved to me that Firkins did not complete all the work or replace the parts they billed me for. Actually they said I had 1.8 hours worth of work wrote on my bill from Chrysler so I asked Joe Murray at Chrysler what they charge per hour he said it ranges from $60.00 to $100.00 per hour so even that is a lie. Yes Firkins is all nice and polite but to take advantage of people like that is not right……. More

Three months after purchasing my new 2013 Nissan Sentra, I was unfortunately in an accident that caused extensive damage to my passenger side and rear axle. Being that the Firkins Dealership has a Nissan Ce I was unfortunately in an accident that caused extensive damage to my passenger side and rear axle. Being that the Firkins Dealership has a Nissan Certified Collision Center, it was a natural thought to have it repaired there. After about three months of my car being in the shop and me being in a rental that is in no way comparable to my own car, I am told that my car is ready, so my brother (a former auto body detailer and lifelong car enthusiast) and I go to pick it up. Unfortunately as we had dreaded, our standards were not met with multiple small cosmetic details that should not be apparent on a brand new car. Parts were ordered and I was sent on my way with my car with an appointment in the near future to have them taken care of. That evening my car died and would not start in my driveway. Missing work, the next day I had the car towed back to the body shop to be looked at. They can not explain what happened and essentially blame it on the staff at the Nissan Dealership for doing something wrong while checking a computer code, and now all of the sudden I need a new fuel pump. Another month of waiting for the part to arrive, during which I paid an unexpected visit to the shop to see how things were going. I was previously told that all the cosmetic issues we had discussed had been complete and we were only waiting for the pump. When I arrived not only were barely any of the cosmetic issues dealt with and it seemed as though my car had been sitting in the same spot the whole time, I also happened to find a rusty razor blade stuck to the top of my new car with a large rust spot around it. Miraculously, after my visit that friday, the part is in and my car is ready for me to pick up on wednesday. All seems well except for yet another cosmetic detail that was not present the last time I saw my car that is scheduled to be dealt with within the next few weeks which meant I would have to yet again inconvenience myself and bring the car back on my day off. After a day of driving a loud vibration begins to resonate from the dashboard anytime I put my foot on the gas. An appointment is scheduled for monday, I am provided with yet another rental car. The monday appointment goes well, the vibration was a minor detail and I was even surprised to find that they took care of the cosmetic detail I had pointed out at our last meeting. My brother was not able to attend the final pick up with me, but upon seeing the car he was able to point out yet again, multiple cosmetic details that are ammature mistakes in the auto body world (painting and sanding while trim is on, causing scratches on my chrome and paint where paint should not be, tape lines and uneven clear coat, Sloppily installed parts, uneven buffing causing unattractive swirls in the finish) While any average Joe may not notice the issues or think that they are a big deal. But being that my BRAND NEW car that I have owned for seven months, four of which I was paying payments on a car that was in the shop, I expected perfection and was extremely let down. While the staff at the collision center is very nice, it does not make up for the ammature, sub par work we received. My brother even went so far as to say that if he were the manager that he would be embarassed by the work that was done on my car. More
we came into your dealership on 05/12/12 not really shopping for a car because we wanted to more because we had to my wife was in a car accident 3 weeks prior and totaled her car so as you could imagin shopping for a car because we wanted to more because we had to my wife was in a car accident 3 weeks prior and totaled her car so as you could imagine we weren't really looking forward to countless hours of shopping for a car,however once at your dealership we were approached by Rose and she informed us she had only been there a short while and was still learning and we would just like to say she was great,what ever questions we had that she didnt know she quickly found out and thats where brian came in he stepped in answered everything we needed to know,then it came down to our credit which at this time isn't so great so we were thinking we would have to go through the buy here pay here program that you offered so they went over all of that with us and the amount of money needed down we could not afford at this time,thats when your wonderful manager Royce stepped in and said lets give regular finacing a try it cant hurt, so we did and now we own our new hummer and could not be happier every thing went quick and smooth,Rose was a great sales person not only was she helpful with the sale,it was like we known her forever,as well was Brain so we would just like to tell you that you have a great team there and they all sure did thier part we felt right at home not once were we pushed or made to feel uncomfortable we had the best service we have ever had at any dealership we have been in.
