Powerhouse Automotive of Tampa

My son was looking for a Honda Civic SI. We came across one at this dealership. I called and spoke with David who was very polite and helpful. We made an appointment to go to the dealership on Saturday to view and test drive the vehicle. Danny who does the financing went above and beyond to help. David and Danny were awesome to work with. I would recommend this dealership to all who are looking to buy a car. We got the car registered, plates and tag issued all at the same time. My son and I were delighted with the service we received.

I purchased a vehicle from Powerhouse Automotive on April 26, 2025. Do not expect any help after the sale or if your vehicle needs repairs. My vehicle has been down for 5 days now because of a bad PTU and rear sway bar links. I keep getting the run around and excuses from them. They did not apply for my new plate and registration until May 7, 2025, but I still have not received it. I had to go down to license and registration office on May 9, 2025 and obtain a new plate and registration myself. They refuse to refund me the money i paid them for tag and registration. Vehicle is suppose to have 6 month warranty which i received confirmation via text message but they refuse to fix vehicle. I do not recommend Powerhouse Automotive to anyone. Now I have to sue them for damages, lost wages and costs to repair vehicle. UPDATE: The owner called me May 8, 2025 and informed me, " if I don't delete my review he will not send me my new license plate, registration or the money for the parts to fix my vehicle." Do NOT do business with these people. If you do, get vehicle inspected by a competent mechanic before buying it. BUYER BEWARE!

Sold me a def deleted truck and did not inform me until after I gave my down payment I tried to return the vehicle and they would not return my down payment this place is on its way to be shut down with so many complaints and law suits the sheriff has started that they are always called up there because of their fraudulent acts of business but I’m shutting them down for all the people who had to endure these unlawful illegal evil acts to scam everyday hardworking citizens out there money for trucks that was baited using false face book marketing place which is known as bait and switch witch is also illegal don’t do business with them no god fearing person would ever do things power house automotive does

Sales people great. They did what you could. But got home with vehicle. Engine smoking after driving only 3 miles. Low beam Headlights not working. Tail lights not working. Ac not working. Seat belt light showing malfuction. Tried to take it back. They wont give our money back down payment after having it one day. And only driving it 3 miles. They made it look nice but didnt check anything else. Hoping to get money back and buy something somewhere else.

Excelente atención por parte de mi vendedor ELITO. Buena troca Platinum, COMO NUEVA! Los recomiendo!

Scam Avoild at all cost. THEY SOLD me a truck with odometer Issues. VERY disrespectful Scammers . This business needs to be SHUT Down 👎🏾

Amenazan a los clientes cuando les reclamas por algo que y deben arreglar son unos ladrones

Due your home work this place has over 60 Bbb complaints in the last 4 months I unfortunately did not I was sold a terrible running vehicle required immediate maintenance lied to was told I could bring van back and get down payments back after spending money on insurance dot certification and paying 3 payments even had them put it in writing when I got there they took the car to the back and didn’t give me a cent back

Update: The dealership made things right and have paid me for the work I did. Dealer owners not trustworthy. I am a driver and made a delivery of a Ford 150 and they have not paid me for my work. They are not serious people. I have tried calling them several times and they have yet to pay me. If they aren’t responsible with the people they hire, they won’t be honest and reliable with clients.
