Pinellas Auto Brokers

Do not go to this place , these good reviews are lies , they have a d plus better business rating, And I do not how on earth they rate that high!, I used to work for these horrible people, my name is Chris and this is the Truth more

VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE!! got a Saturn view suv from them, miles were a little high but I think the price was too good to pass up,i was even given a senior discount!!!!!! wow!! but I am not that old, lol, i been having great luck with it and very happy to not have car payments again!! I found the staff there real nice and polite, I liked that they did not jump on my back as soon as a arrived at the lot like most car salepeople. I hate that. they did give me the courtesy to take my time and look!! loved the whole experience, told them what I had to work with and they made it work, thank you !!! I recommend them if you need a good cheap ride. lots to choose from. more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! FIVE STARS!!!, my family has been buying cars from them for over 15 years! son just got his first truck here also, our family always feels welcome here, i always get a good deal for friends and family. amazing to read the bad things posted about this good bussiness only from people that dont pay there car payments and get repoed, i have only had great experiences with this company and will always give them five stars!!!! the owner and staff are simply fantastic! more

Bought my car here today. So awesome! The girl in the office explained everything, she even helped me get insurance real cheap. I only had to put a small down payment and my payments are low. I am so excited to have a car and totally recommend this place. They will work with you and make sure you can afford the payments. more

FIVE STARS!!!! Very happy with my purchase, my brother bought his truck from them and found it to be good. I have to say, i am very pleased too. The prices they sell for just can't be beat. The payments are very affordable being a single mom. Highly recommended. more

They sold me a car and I asked Brian why the engine was skipping and was told it was condensation in the gas tank. when it continued after filling the tank twice I took it to my mechanic. Cylender 5 was bad as was the fuel injector. But what was worse is that the bulb for the check engine light had been removed! I had asked repeatedly to be able to have the car checked out by my mechanic and offered a security deposit equal to the value of the car but was not allowed to do so. Now I know why. Stay away unless you enjoy getting ripped off. more

FIVE STARS! VERY HAPPY! with my purchase. Very nice salespeople to work with, my credit was not an issue here like the other places i was at. co worker bought his car here and has been happy with it and said i should try them. Glad i did! Thank you pinellas auto. more

Worst place ever!!! My daughter got a car here and put $2000 down which was half the cost of the car. She was on Bi-weekly pays and two days before her first pay they repossessed the car. We went up there the next day with the money to pay the repo fees and any other charges. First we were told by the salesman that he didn't know the number to the finance office THEN HE CALLED them and told us it was a number to a different department. He then got a call back and sent us across the street to the finance office and there were 2 people there so that means the salesperson is a liar. Then Brian told us to turn over her keys and they would send a letter to explain what she needed to do to get her car back. I asked why wait for a letter when we had the money now. Brain told me to shut up he wasn't talking to me. When I told him I would not just shut up cause my daughter is a single mom of a 1 yr old and needs her car back or the $2000 she gave him lastweek, well he pulled out pepper spray from his desk drawer and tried to spray me!! The next day they told my daughter her letter was sent and would be there in a couple of days. Well the next day her car is sitting on their lot and advertised on their website for sale again!! So they have no intention of sending out a letter or giving my daughter a chance to buy it out right, which she has the money to do. So RUN DON""T BUY A CAR FROM THESE LIARS!! The good reports on here must be written by them. Wished we would of googled them before we stopped there. And next weekend I will be sitting up there with a sign and every weekend after to prevent them from doing this to anyone else!! more

Very good experience, five stars, honest car lot! My neighbor purchased her car here, i liked the website, made looking at the cars easy, i found the people great to deal with , no pressure, i just love my mazda, i highly recommend to others looking for a used car. Nice family bussiness, Thank you. more

Worst place to buy a car from! I paid them $1060 and payments were supposed to be paid weekly. Well 2 days before my payment was due my car was repossessed. When I tried to get my car back they said the only way I could get my car back was IF I paid the balance of the car. COMPLETE RIPOFF! They take advantage of ppl and they are just looking to make a quick buck and should be put out of business. They are extremely unethical and did not seem to care about me being a struggling father trying to make ends me for my family. HORRIBLE!!! Consider buying from a bank, at least you would get a good running car, and you car would not be repoed 2 days prior to the due date and as most banks would wait until you are at least 2 months past due and they communicate with you the entire time and on time payments will help boost your credit rating. You are taking a HUGE risk going to these buyherepayhere garbage places. Half the vehicles are wreck, high mileaged, or just plan out auction junk that no reputable dealer would sell so these buy here pay here junk yards profit from them instead by taking advantage of ppl down on their luck! Beware and do your research!! more

Five stars! Great place! I Took my son there for his first car, he is pretty rough on it and it still runs great. I have also been sending friends and family there for 9 years. Always a good experience with them. The autos have higher mileage and have a few scratches, but i have always been given a great deal! They do buy here pay here, and will also sell the cars cheap for cash. I cant say enough good things about these people they have always treated me, my friends and family with great care and honesty. more

Very happy with my purchase! Refreshing to find an honest car bussiness!!, Great place! Being a single mother i have been very careful shopping with my money. They had the best price for my gmc envoy, i have had it for about 3 months now and it is running great, had to change the tires, and a headlight, but no major problems. My neighbors family has purchased many from them and were very happy , so i figured i would shop too. Glad i did! Highly recommend! Five stars! more

I am a retiered veteran, and on a fixed income, the other car dealers could not get payments where i was comfortable, plus the fixed income issue seemed to be the major problem, more

I went to Pinellas Auto brokers three times looking for a safe car for myself and my new born son. I spoke with three different salesmen including Jason, Brian, and another who called himself DJ or some initials. I asked for details on a couple vehicles that I was comparing. They all told me and my witness: ""all of our cars are checked by our mechanics before being placed on our lot."" ""We don?t sell cars that have any problems; we send them to auction"" ""this one is really good, a great choice for you."" ""If anything goes wrong we will fix it for you etc..."" These were all lies. The small SUV I bought sounded good during the short test drive but began loudly knocking on the way home. I took it to a mechanic who informed me that the engine was blown and that some sort of heavy oil and/or sealant had been put in the engine. Apparently this is a trick shady people use to defraud buyers. The next business day I had the SUV towed back to them. They got all nervous and lied about everything then claimed they were going to look at it and fix it for days. Finally they admitted the engine was blown but refused to fix it or refund me. Brian even had the nerve to lie and say ""maybe it's the just the starter wana buy a starter!"" trying to scam me out of even more money! I am suing of course. If you had a similar experience and want to join a class action suit against them contact me below. more

SCAM SCAM SCAM!! This car lot is a scam. They said they wanted a low down payment of $299 as advertised on the window of the car, but when I wanted to get the car they wanted $600 down. I got the car and put down $500 and they deferred the other $100 till the following Fri. When that Fri came they wanted there money and I reminded the guy in charge Brian that I only get paid every 2 weeks and that the car had a bad ball joint and bad breaks. He assured me that I could bring the car in for repairs and that I could pay teh $100 on my payday b/c I get paid every two weeks. Well 3 days before my payday i go to leave work and the car was repoed. They kept hanging up on me when I tried to call and Brian the guy in charge would never even speak to me on the phone. They told me to bring in the key and get my stuff back or pay $575 to get the car pack. I only had the car a week and 1/2. I not only lost $500 that I put down on the car but they also stole $4.00 in change, my sun glasses, 2 beach towels and a bag of tools that I had in the car. They only gave me some of the items that were in there such as personal papers. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM PLEASE DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!! Feel free to contact me for more information. more
