I found the vehicle I wanted on line and set up a test

I found the vehicle I wanted on line and set up a test drive with Harold two days later. The car was ready to go when I arrived. It turned out the car didn't exactly fit my expectations. There was no pressure to buy it and Harold showed me other possibilities. I did test drive another, but decided I would keep looking. There was no attempt to dissuade me and I left feeling pleasantly surprised. I would certainly go to Gulf Coast again if I was in the market for one of their vehicles.

🚨 ATTENTION GULF COAST AUTO CUSTOMERS 🚨 πŸ” Beware of Shady Business Practices πŸ” πŸ“’ Hey friends! πŸ‘‹ We recently received postcards from Gulf Coast Auto claiming we were winners. Excitement turned to disappointment when we visited in person. πŸ† Turns out, it's a deceptive tactic to lure you in. 😑 Picture this: They confirm you're a winner over the phone, but in person, it's a different story. Just kidding, they say! πŸƒ The "winning number" is hidden in microscopic font, and they won't disclose if you've truly won. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ Unethical? Absolutely. Disgusting? You bet. πŸ‘‰ Our experience wasn't unique. As we were leaving, another person walked in, having driven over 40 minutes, only to be fed the same deceptive line. 😀 Can you believe this during the holidays? ❌ DON'T FALL FOR IT! ❌ Gulf Coast Auto's practices are deplorable, and we won't let them get away with it. Don't give them your hard-earned money! 🚫 Spread the word, share this post, and let's protect each other from falling victim to their scam. 🀬 #GulfCoastAuto #ShadyBusiness #DeceptivePractices #ScamAlert #UnethicalBusiness #ConsumerProtection #SpreadTheWord

Wonderful Experience To Buy Quality Used Vehicles

I had a wonderful experience purchasing 2 vehicles from Basil. He is the only Salesman I have ever bought 2 cars from. Basil is friendly, knowledgeable and quick with all the paperwork. I was able to get through the entire process in half an hour. I also had great service from Marcin, the Sales Manager. He helped me with the price that I needed in order to stay within my budget. Patrick, the Credit Manager was also a pleasure to deal with. He was able to get me a decent interest rate in these turbulence times. Overall I am very happy with my decision to buy 2 vehicles from Gulf Coast Auto. Give them a try, I know you will be glad you did.

Found the car we wanted online and contacted Gulfcoast

Found the car we wanted online and contacted Gulfcoast Auto who set us up an appointment. Drove down test drove the car and it was exactly what we were looking for. The car still had the old price on the windshield which when I asked there salesman Basil quickly told me the price I had seen online. There was no no escalation in price which is rare when you get to the dealer. Basil was very professional and did not try to push the deal. He answered all our questions with honesty and integrity which I will recommend Gulfcoast Auto to anyone now. It was a breath of fresh air to deal with such honest people and that goes with the financing also as they got our payment exactly to what we could handle and we drove away in our new car with a great experience. Thank you from Rob and Meghan Hamilton

Best place to buy your next car.

I bought my car in one day from a great salesman named Richard. He was professional, kind, and he came to pick me up at my home in the rain that took him almost an hour! Who does that?! Richard, that's who. On the way to Gulf Coast Brokers, we both realized there was something wrong with the rear tires. He told me whatever the car needed they would take care of it. Well, today they gave me 4 brand new Firestone tires. My 2014 Toyota Rav4 rides like a 2022! The Manager Marcin was also kind and professional. He replaced the air filter that's in the glove compartment, no charge to me. I can't say more about these people who know how to treat customers. Whatever you buy will be priced fairly. If you need a car, go to Gulf Coast Brokers, you'll be happy you did.
