Tillman Auto LLC

Shocking situation! If you are shopping for a car in Jacksonville, I think you should know what happened to us today. We went to Tillman Auto on Beach with a very limited budget. My 16-year old daughter had been saving for months and was ready for her big day. We walked in with our guard up. Steve sat my daughter down and talked her out of buying the Jeep she had her eyes on at his dealership. He said, with her limited budget, she needed a more practical car with much lower mpg. He spent more than an hour teaching her about cars and about car buying. He asked if we were looking anywhere else. She told him about another car at another dealership (we didn't mention which dealer, so he had no vested interest in what he was about to do for us). Steve looked her in the eye and explained why the other car -- not the Jeep -- was probably the right choice. But he didn't stop there. He promised her if she stopped by during her test drive, he would check the critical areas that tend to go wrong with used cars. We drove in shock to the other dealer. Then we took the car for a spin.....to Tillman Auto. Steve not only thoroughly inspected the car, he explained to us exactly what he was looking for and why. He even checked the car's history on the internet! And of course, he explained exactly what price we should offer and how to stand firm on our offer. As the day unfolded, it became very obvious that Steve Tillman is NOT in business to sell cars. He is a man with a genuine passion for cars who has the heart--not of a salesman, but of a teacher. He's doing what he loves and it shows. Teaching my daughter and coaching her through her first car purchase wasn't "work" for Steve; he was a man on a mission. As we were chatting, his wife arrived and we had a fascinating conversation as she shared her perspective on the car business. I wasn't surprised when I found out Steve's wife is a teacher by profession. In my book, so is her husband. I didn't buy a car from Steve today. But I will certainly buy one from him in the future and highly recommend his dealership as the first stop for anyone who is car shopping in Jacksonville. If he has the best car for you, I'm certain he'll sell it to you for the right price. And if he doesn't -- and this is astonishing -- he will tell you so. Thanks Steve. We had an awesome time at your dealership!!!
