Bartow, FL
828 Reviews
Welcome to Thunder Chrysler! — Bartow's hometown Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram dealership, proudly serving Polk County since 2016.
We're not just a place to buy a car. We're part of this community — and we've been proving it for nearly a decade.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS — THE REAL ONES
Thunder Chrysler is the 10-year Title Sponsor of Jeepin' with Sheriff Judd, the beloved three-day family Jeep festival at Clear Springs Ranch in Bartow that benefits Polk Sheriff's Charities. Nine consecutive years. Not because it's good marketing — because it's the right thing to do.
We are the founding Presenting Sponsor and on-property host of Jeepin' for a Cure — Florida, a Jeep rally that raises critical funds for local breast cancer patients through the Breast Cancer Foundation of Central Florida. Every single year since the event was founded in 2023, it has been held right here on our lot.
We have sponsored and hosted the Drive Against Darkness: Suicide Prevention and Awareness Car Show for all three years of its existence — and we're already planning year four in 2026.
We are proud sponsors of American Legion Post 3, supporting veterans of our community through multiple events throughout the year.
We are the Official U.S. Dealership of #DuckDuckJeep — the global Jeep community movement started by the late Allison Parliament — a distinction no other dealership in America holds.
We are a promotional partner with the Florida Trail Stompers, one of Florida's largest off-road Facebook communities, hosting and sponsoring their events and training programs throughout the year and offering Trail Stompers members exclusive discounts on sales, service, parts, and accessories.
And we've hosted and sponsored numerous Jeep lifestyle events over the past four years, because the Jeep community is our community.
THE BUYING EXPERIENCE
On the sales floor, we do things the way they should be done. Transparent pricing. No hidden fees dropped on you at the last minute. No pressure tactics. No games. Just honest numbers, a team that listens, and a process that respects your time. Most of our customers tell us they drove past other dealers specifically to buy from us — and many come back again and again.
We've earned a 4.9-star rating on Kelley Blue Book, 827 verified reviews on DealerRater, and the FCA Customer First Award for Excellence. Those aren't numbers we brag about — they're what happens when you treat people right every single day.
OUR INVENTORY & SERVICE
We carry 250+ new Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles — one of the largest Jeep Wrangler and Ram truck selections in the region — plus a strong selection of used and Mopar Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.
Our service department is equally trusted. Our technicians are factory-trained, our service advisors communicate clearly, and customers tell us we're the only place they trust with their Jeep or Ram. We service all makes and models.

I even called him with a tech question a couple days after taking the Jeep home and he walked me through the solution.
