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. FIND US 1425 W. Main St., Bartow, FL — between Lakeland, Winter Haven, Plant City, and Lake Wales, right in the heart of Polk County. Come see why Thunder CDJR isn't just the highest-rated CDJR dealer in the area — it's the one that shows up for you long after the sale.

Hi Phil, we want to assure you we take your concerns seriously. We perform recalls to the manufacture standards and regret to hear you are dissatisfied. According to our records the work was done in June which was our last contact regarding this matter. We would like to have the opportunity to work with you on a solution. Sincerely, Arsenio Quintero, Service Manager, (863) 533-0793

Phil Smith responded

Do not go to Thunder Chrysler. You will regret it!! Arsenio contacted me today and denied that I spoke with them in ref to my concerns over the software update. Suggested I contact Ram Customer Service. Also said that anything they do is to save lives and or property. I replied: As you were not present when I spoke with Jason, you have no idea what we discussed. I specifically told him my research had shown that there would be loss of power and MPG. He said yes, that had been a problem in the past, but had been rectified. This means he had received a warning, from whatever source, that the recall would cause an issue in “x, y or z” This false statement “tricked and or coerced” me into agreeing with this. Now I shall leave you with this, the overall value of my truck has plummeted as a direct result of the update, not based upon “due diligence”. And as grandiose as it sounds, saving lives or property did not enter the thought process. I am not contacting Ram Customer Service at this point. That may come later in the process. I am contacting the entity which made the claims and preformed the work.

I just got back. I asked for a total inspection because I have a forever warranty. I need to make sure my warranty will always be honored. Arsenio is the service manager and he took care of me. Demisea, More
