Pinellas Auto Brokers

⭐ 1-Star Review: Think Carefully Before Buying Here I purchased a 2011 Mazda CX-7 from Pinellas Auto Brokers Inc. on August 19, 2026, and less than two months later, I’m dealing with a serious oil leak, a red oil warning light, and a check-engine light. I paid over $3,500 for this vehicle, expecting to at least have a reasonable opportunity to drive and enjoy the car I worked hard to purchase. Instead, I’m now facing the stress and potential expense of diagnosing and repairing a major mechanical problem shortly after buying it. I mean I understand that the vehicle was sold AS-IS, and I signed the paperwork acknowledging that. However, as a customer, I am extremely disappointed with this experience. Buying a used car is a significant financial decision, especially for someone who has worked hard to save for one. My recommendation to anyone considering buying from Pinellas Auto Brokers: get an independent mechanic to inspect the vehicle before purchasing it, and make sure you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to. Don’t rely on appearances alone. I’m documenting my experience and will update this review based on how the dealership responds to my concerns. I hope other buyers take this experience into consideration before spending their hard-earned money here cause money does not grow on trees!

Excellent experience, very honest place. absolutely no sales pressure. I purchased a Dodge truck from them last November and had such good luck with it wife and I decided to come back and buy a Buick Lucerne for her. It has been 3 weeks now and the Buick is running great for the price I paid I think I had an excellent deal . I have had absolutely no problems other than a tire that we had to change but I think that is to be expected on a used vehicle. I notice that a lot of people give this place crazy bad reviews when you have every opportunity to look the vehicle over and drive it before making a purchase like we did. You have to be realistic about buying older vehicles with higher mileage that they will always be some type of little things wrong. I think the fact that all of inventory is just about priced at under $4,000 keeps it really affordable. I would recommend anyone hands down to shop here and buy a vehicle just remember it is used not brand new.

Sold me a car and were not going to say ANYTHING that was wrong with it until I discovered it. They'll have you sign a million papers saying you can't sue them if they sell you a lemon. I showed up, test drove a civic, immediately noticed the AC wasn't blowing cold. Then I noticed the radio wasn't working. Negotiated about $200 off the price for that, but you're still paying a ridiculous additional $500 for their fees. I leave, get home, go to lock the car, and notice the key doesn't even lock the doors. They never said a word about that. Then I notice all the clips in the front bumper are broken and they had just jammed it into place and prayed it stayed in until someone bought the car. I took it to a dealer to change the oil and they brought up how there's oil leaking everywhere (can't tell when the dealer uses a dirt lot.) Allegedly had a clean history, but then while disassembling the front later to do some fixing it up, I noticed a massive dent in the front bumper crash bar thingy. Wheels were insanely unbalanced. It's scummy, really. I still probably would've bought the car if they had been honest, but instead they chose to pull this. No wonder they're not on Google maps. Either they don't want the reviews showing up there, or they got reported until it got taken down.

Never buy a vehicle here, they sold me a 2017 Ford Escape and within 20 miles the transmission showed terrible malfunction, which means the dealership knew about it and sold it to anyway, told me too bad sold as is, left me high and dry, they didn't even care one bit!

Doesn't respond to requests when multiple were submitted. Call was made and they seemed very unwilling to want to help and make excuses.

Do not go here. Just save yourself some time. I know that the prices are good but still run away from there

These people are absolute crooks they buy cars that are drivable for maybe a couple of days and sell it to you anyway kowning its a lemon do not make the mistake i did and give these people your money it is not worth it.

I took a car of the lot for 5 min the car wouldn’t go over 2 miles an hour with the pedal all the way down. I finally got it back to the dealer and they said it’s my problem now do not buy from these people they will rob you

Cars are junk. Bought a 2014 Lincoln MKX, already put $3000 into it, brakes went out suddenly. The cars on their lots have codes but no check engine light illuminated. Do not buy from this location. IMO scam lot

Was going to buy a car from them. From reading reviews I've moved on. Thank God for reviews.
