  10. Called in the morning to check availability of a car, they said it was still in stock. Drove an hour and a half to come see it, only to be told the car had sold days ago. Don’t buy from these clowns, they wasted my time and don’t even know what they have in inventory.

  11. Didnt buy a car from them because the down payment was too high ($1500.00), but on another note when I walked in 3 staff members were sitting around a desk and i stood at the doorway looking around wondering where i should go before one of them finally said can I help you!

    Kitchen family .

  19. My Daughter bought a car, 12/10/19 Still waiting for the Tag. They had to issue a 2nd temporary Tag, just so she does not get a ticket!!! Unreasonable time to wait to get her tag & title.

  20. I got a car in April and it’s Just July now. My car is a 4 cylinder car and they gave it to me running off of 3 cylinders. These people are crooked ! I had made the biggest mistake coming here. The attitudes are horrible, John King needs to do better, this is poor business and I’m very disgusted !

  21. The car I bought was undoubtedly cheap. It didn’t make it home before breaking down. I asked to return it, or have it repaired free of charge since it was obviously defective. Three guesses what they said. …

  22. This is absolutely the worst “car dealership” I have ever stepped foot into. Being a woman, they thought they were going to get one over on me. They will do anything to get you into a car, doesn’t matter if it has problems or not. They lie and hide problems and it seems every car on the lot is in really bad shape. Never again!

  23. The owner is rude and very unprofessional. Please be careful because this place will definitely try to cheat you. I paid cash for my vehicle and still received rude, unprofessional service from the owner. This was my first and last …

  24. I have personally had an amazing experience with this company..

  28. This was the worst experience i ever had with a dealership. First of all I went online and found them so i called and spoke to Jeff Wilson. I was told i had to put down $3,000 dollars, but when i got there they wanted me to put up an …

  29. This place is essentially a bait n’ switch shop. Most of the cars on their website or autotrader are not actually on their lot. They artificially lower the price of vehicles and then have the audacity to add on $1000 in dealer fee’s. They …

  30. Cadillac Joe sold me a Mazda 3 and I’m loving it! He’s a really cool guy and took his time driving us around the lot in a golf cart to see everything they had. He was very real with us and the finance man got us a hella good interest rate👍 Cadillac Joe is the man to go see😎 …

  31. No respect for pregnant women. Selling faulty vehicles and then blaming the customer for things going wrong when the salespeople say the car works great. They hang up when they dont want to answer questions and they dont check paperwork(like insurance) very well. If Champ is your salesperson, walk out.

  32. I bought my trailblazer 4/2 it broke down on the way home from the dealership!! I put 1500 down then paid 250 every two weeks until 6/1 for a total of 2250 down payment, fuel pump went out, then the service engine light kept coming on and …

  36. Ok so we got a car from them and 2 days later it had problems the car was sold as is but they could of at least looked at it for free.

  39. Mike was nice but they make bs promises to get you to sign the paper work then they lie, cheat and sell you junk! They say their own mechanics made a mistake and nothing is wrong. One month to the day my engine light came on, truck now needs more work than I can afford!

  48. They added on over $1000 in bogus fees. Sold me a car with a blown motor that was covered up to look fine. Sun roof was broken but they simply unplugged it so I couldn’t use it so I wouldn’t know. Very dodgy dealer. Would not recommend.

  50. I have to say the salesman Phil Myers, was one of the best car salesman I have came across in a long, long time. He was so courteous and helpful to me and my son. Thanks for making my experience better than I was thinking it was going to turn out.

  51. Trust me, DON’T BUY A CAR FROM THIS PLACE…YOU MIGHT AS WELL FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET! The owner is arrogant and very unprofessional. My daughter bought a BMW from this place and within the third month and ever since we had to put out …

  59. Keith was our salesman, no pressure, up front about the details on the loan and made sure we did a test drive before the car was purchased. Overall was a nice experience.

  60. It’s a shame people just won’t be or can’t be good people. Some of your customers, Mr. King, are not people looking to get something for nothing. It’s not good when you know, your service manager knows & your salesman knows that the car you …

  61. I just would like to let everyone know how wonderful this company and staff are. It’s been 2 years since my son Tyler was hit and killed by a drunk driver. My son bought a car from beach Blvd automotive and was so excited after my son’s …

  62. They suck.. Had to make Mr King fix my car I had just purchased that was still under warranty. Make a long story short. I had to have my lawyer call an threatened them into fixing my car.. Will never purchase from them again. No one should buy those lemons they are selling.

  63. One of the worst dealerships that I’ve ever been too. I had to go find a salesman since there were none on the floor and apparently they were sitting outside smoking. I applied online for pre approval a day before and got notified to come …

  64. They act just as they advertise…Family Owned and Operated but more like a DYSFUNCTIONAL Family! DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME PEOPLE!! …

  65. Do not purchase a car from this place. This place is a rip off. The same day i purchased the car it had a oil leak, check engine light on, and smokes under hood once you reach 65 mpg. I understand the car is old a 99 Lexus GS300 so i knew …

  66. Eric is the person to go to if you need help finding a car. He went above and beyond in making sure I found the perfect car to fit my budget. If you are looking to purchase a car, Beach Blvd Auto is the place to go to and definitely ask for Eric.

  67. We weren’t expecting to pay any money for some work that was promised to be fixed but the bill ended up being over $500. The car we purchased less than 2 months ago has be having some pretty big issues like cylinder misfire, and weak …

  68. I put 3,000$ down on my 2010 Mazda 3 and got the rest financed. After three months of driving it with no problems, the serpentine belt broke. Mr. King replaced it for free! Love this place, they take care of me.

  69. This was a the best car buying experience I think I’ve ever had and I’ve bought many cars over the years. Steve, my sales associate, was patient, not pushy and provided every piece of information available on each of the cars I requested to …

  70. Worst car dealership that I have ever been on. Unprofessional from start to finish. Salesman and finance manager were terrible and insulting. My biggest regret is that I can’t get back the time I spent on the lot. This place does not deserve a star.

  71. I didn’t speak to anyone here,I just looked around. They have a lot of used cars in lower price range.($5000 to $15000). The prices are marked on all cars along with a vehicle information form. The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of mileage listed on most of the cars.

  72. the car had transmission issues, the salesman and service rep lied about it and would not stand behind their product. ended up selling the car before I made the second payment. …

  73. I got a car from them and on my way home I the A/C went from ice cold to nothing blowing, the plastic emblem on my shifter fell off and the drivers side window switch that was fine when I test drove it now had a piece of paper under it …

  74. Went there to check out half a dozen trucks that I confirmed were available. Of course, magically by the time I got there they all had sold (yet they were even STILL being advertised omline). Everything that was on-site was very high mileage, smelled horrible and poorly covered up, and had busted up interiors (and some exteriors).

  75. There are no words for this place and i can’t believe they are allowed to sell cars, but they obviously don’t care about their customers and its sad to see these people in business. Top of the line unprofessional, if you don’t believe me, …

  76. Bought a Dodge Stratus there, with only 68,000 miles on it. Had it for less than 4 months. In that time I had to get the front suspension rebuilt, tires had dry rot and needed replacing, and the car overheated and blew a head gasket. Will never buy a car from here again.

  77. Champ was extremely helpful and patient. This was the easiest and most stress free car deal my husband or I have ever experienced. I highly recommend champ to anyone and everyone. Everyone we interacted with was polite. Great experience.

  78. Nice place only gave a four star because we had to go fetch a salesman. But once we got one he was very helpful. He stayed after closing. They do haggle with cash purchases. Ended up buying from here quick transaction. Even servicing the vehicle before pickup for us.

  79. Not really happy. They had to keep the car for a couple of days to fix something that was obvious when we pointed it out to them. Two weeks later we are noticing a problem with the CB joints and a tire. 1600.00 $$ later. I think they had to …

  80. Great Customer Service. I bought a 2001 Mazda 626 from this dealership for my daughter. I had a couple of problems and spoke my Salesman (Eric Dixon) and the owner and was able to resolve the issues quickly. Very satisfied with the outcome …

  81. Mike Mills was great through the whole process. He was easy to work with, personable, and forthright. So far I am very happy with my purchase (2006 Mazda MPV with 110k miles not bad at all) and have been contacted by Mike to ensure that …

  82. I was looking to purchase a second car cash, and let me tell you the owner was very VERY unprofessional. I guess a single mother isn’t equipped to saving her money to purchase a second car that she needs to have some drug dealer boyfriend …

  83. Bought a car $9000 cash and 4 days later clutch went bad. I have plenty of money to replace it but not everyone out shopping for a car has money to blow! Not drivable. Now paying 1500 to get it fixed. If you finance a car there you will get …

  84. I was having a hard time finding a dealership and a sales person that would help me out with my situation. Mike Mills went above and beyond to help me get the EXACT type of car I was looking for at the right payment that fit my budget. I …

  85. This is the best car dealership out there!!! Our salesman Champ was the best hands down. He told us everything up front and worked with us until we were satisfied!!! Champ your the best!! Ask for Champ!!! Cheapest reliable cars suvs trucks…they got it for you!!

  86. I put a $3,000 down payment on a vehicle and had to bring it back in the very next week as my AC had went out. I waited for hours and the people helping me were not very polite. Besides that,I ended up having to get $400 of work done on …

  87. I bought my Taurus here it had 150k miles on it but ran great and shifted good. It did have a vibration in the wheel’s but a front rotor change and it’s perfect. No extra fees for paying off early either. I had the 4000 dollar car paid off …

  88. Salesman James was wonderful and patient. The service center is a joke. They had to install two tires on the car we got. Dropped off at 8:30 as requested. Said it would be 1:00 before it was ready! Rediculous.Almost five hours. When we …

  89. Would give no stars if possible. Do NOOOOOOOOTTTTTT buy from them. Bought a 2003 mazda6 with 148,400 .Something miles, clean carfax for sticker price $1988. 2 windows didn’t roll down, but was great on test drive and overall looked good. …

  90. They sale lemons. I had the car for two days before it started shutting off. I tried to reschedule my appointment to get it looked at and was ignored or bounced around to departments that didn’t answer. DO NOT GO HERE READ THE REVIEWS …

  91. When I spoke with the person on the phone she seemed like she really wanted to help me. Well when I got there it was a complete different story. I would find a car in my budget, but then they “sold it”. Or car had no a.c, or it had over …

  92. I purchased a PT Cruiser here and thought I would share the results. The purchasing and title/registration support went fine, final price was as we negotiated and we had the car keys in our hands and out the door quickly. The test drive …

  93. DON’T TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP!!!!
    A family member purchased a car from BBA and when driving the car home he heard a strange sound. He called BBA that evening to report the sound and was told to …

  94. I don’t even know where to begin. On April 3rd we purchased a car. Paid cash for it. Cash for everything. Less then 2 weeks later the car started acting funny and we noticed a tapping noise. We immediately called them. They would not help. …

  95. I’m going to go ahead and say that these people bullshit you. Can’t say that my car is all that bad. But I do have to say that they tell you lie after lie to get you to buy; now you may say how is that any worse then any other dealer. Just …

  96. They only got 1 star so I could write my review. This the most unprofessional car dealer, I have dealt with. I am 60 years old, I just wanted a car to get to my Doctor Appointments, I ask for a dependable car to be able to go to the …

  97. Disclaimer: we didn’t buy a car here, because we found what we needed elsewhere first. We were specifically looking for a small standard-transmission coupe, and the inventory held mostly automatics when we visited. Still, I had to give a …

  98. My husband and I went to Beach Blvd. Automotive yesterday, looking for a car for our son. The cars we test drove were horrendous. One of the cars looked like it had been vandalized. The glove box was hanging open with no locking …

  100. I went and bought a car early last week from Beach Boulevard Automotive. They were the first dealership I went to and after reading some of the reviews I was pretty nervous. After exploring some of my other options I ended up back at Beach …

  101. The worst place ever. Went to purchase two cars at the same time and DEFINITELY learned a lot. Worst customer service. Marie needs to be fired. The first car…had to replace lots of things. For the first year and a half, the “check engine …

  128. If I could give a zero star I would. I’d love to go into detail as to how horrible these people are but I’m not going to waste my time, as no one else should either. Kent-not a real salesman; Champ- not professional, liar, tells you one …

  129. Not impressed. Drove a friend needing a vehicle, 50 miles to visit this place, and the 3 vehicles they had told him they had on the lot (that he was interested in) had disappeared. It was like magic! …

  130. I bought a 2002 Mazda SUV about 8 months ago from Beach Boulevard Automotive. It has caused me nothing but trouble and cost me a heck of a lot of money. The rack and pinion needs serious work, there were numerous vacuum leaks, and worst …

  131. If you purchase a car here, make absolute sure to get at least the 30 day warranty. They make it to where the check engine light won’t come on until you’ve driven so many miles. Or make sure to have your own mechanic come in and check the …

  132. I went in to Beach Blvd Auto not sure of how it would go. From the moment I meet Champ I knew he was an honest person and he cared about me. He was very kind and professional the whole experience. He really made the experience a 5 star. I …

  133. Called them two times – first time was told they would check to see if they still had a minivan I was interested in – they never called back. 2nd time called and the salesman said they were closing at 5 BUT he would be there and have the …

  134. Bought a car there, rates were loan shark level but whatever. Came in one day to be told that they had sold my car loan to another company.
    No notice, no contact, no anything. …

  135. Pleasant, knowledgeable Salesman Champ helped me chose a very reliable Toyota. All paperwork was explained, I’ve met service manager and I’m confident that I made a good choice coming here to purchase a car.

  136. Champ took awesome care of us and did not waste our time! We are very pleased with our car and the service we got! Go see Champ if you are looking for a good deal and a great reliable car!

  137. Great experience buying a 2004 Toyota Avalon. Recommend going there for help financing. Talk to Kent. He was awesome. No pressure to buy, very professional. Do not know who helped the people with the bad reviews, but I have only good things to say.

  138. 2nd and last visit. Yes there are many vehicles to choose from..but a waist of time when the website doesn’t list mileage..so of course a way to TRY and get you in. Yes around tax season will be definitely busy, along with pricing …

  139. I left a one star review and they called me at home to harass me about it, and apparently had it deleted. This after selling me a car that did not work. When I bought the car they had their mechanic look at it and said it just needed a …

  140. I went there and thought they had a nice selection and they constantly assured me that they are experienced in selling the right car to me well first I get the car after they said they checked all the fluids and the oil was a quart low and …

  141. Bought an ‘As Is’ car so I didn’t expect a new car experience, but I certainly didn’t expect my 4k cash car to break down before I even made it home from the dealership. I’ve never had such a bad experience with a cash car or dealership, …

  142. Was gonna buy/finance a car from them. Car was 7k i was told 2500 down. No problem had the money. Got almost gone with papers to get car. Then got told they will not sell me the car because of my age….and then raise the down payment to …

  143. It’s an ok place to buy a used car from. Selection is not too good and most of their cars are dirty. The prices are good though. They will hassle you months after you buy a car from them saying that you owe more money (when you don’t) and …

  144. Worst place to get a used car. Sales people don’t know about the cars they have on their lot and the service technicians are the worst. Especially the service manager Kevin who obviously knows nothing about vehicles. Don’t even know how …

  145. They sold my wife a SUV that was listed at 2999. Not a bad deal, right? They said the power steering pump needed to be replaced, so they tracked on another $600 for the “repairs”. We picked the vehicle up the next day and it seemed fine. 3 …

  146. Just bought a used car from here. A lady ran into my other car and the insurance company totaled it! Had a great salesman (sorry I can’t remember his but he was the only oriental salesman) who found us a clean carfax, one owner, low mileage vehicle!! Paid cash so it was cheaper than the sticker price!! So far, so good!

  147. Today I went to make my first ever car purchase. I’ve always been skeptical of dealerships and nervous about having to go through the process. However with the help of Mike Mills he made things super easy. He truly listened and understood …

  148. I am only giving the 1 star so that I can give a fair warning….RUN! RUN FAST!!! Please do not buy a car from this place!!!
    Yes, a used car will have issues and anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid. …

  149. We were helped quickly, and were able to test drive the vehicles we wanted to. Our salesman Jerry I believe his name was, was great to work with and insisted on triple checking everything in the car before they sold it to us, we were able …

  150. I purchased a vehicle from this dealership about a month ago. The car salesman, Kevin, was very helpful and kind, helping me find the perfect car for me all while making the experience enjoyable and easy. Another sales associate named …

  151. If I could give less than 1 star I would! They lead you to believe through their text chat that they are professional, caring and want to actually sell you a reliable car. NOT! …

  152. Without going too much into my story, bottom line the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. We arrived close to closing time ready to purchase a car found on line. Called ahead to say we were on the way. Guy told us they would …

  153. Part of this review is germane to car dealerships in general, but there were some issues with our recent car purchase. I will say that they do have a nice selection of under-$10,000 vehicles on the lot, and the facilities were a step up …

  154. Ronnie Alvarez…..!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the best sales person there. He was kind and polite. He did not pressure me into any car. I told him what type of vehicle I wanted . It took me a few days coming back and fourth, but I found what I …

  155. Purchased a 2003 honda accord from here last year. Sales guy failed to mention cluster had been charged out and odometer was rolled back almost 90,000 miles would not have purchased vehicle if i had known. Spoke with someone in D.C. about …

  156. I bought a 2006 Nissan Armada almost 2 yrs ago. It had over 100,000 miles on it and the price was in line with KBB with that and what the car came with. Now for those of you who worry about miles on a used car, it’s understandable, …

  157. was looking for a car that had been sold, Champ asked what I was looking for and price point, and after letting us try four or five cars, circled right back to the first car he showed us. daughter, ex wife and I were all satisfied! would do business again and would recommend

  158. I bought a car from them 90 days ago. I have had nothing but problems with it. Ive already had to replace the coil packs, spark plugs, headlight and now its misfiring and oil is all over one of my pistons… probably going to throw a rod. I …

  159. Sold me a pick-a-parts pickup for only $5000. The check engine light was always on. $300 to replace all the tire sensors. $1000 to replace the speed sensors. The check engine light was $1700 to replace the timing chains and phaser. Only in Florida can they sell you an uninspectable pile of junk and for only 5 grand.

  160. I bought a scooter from them less then a month and it was left me stranded all they sell is junk don’t buy from them it’s a last resort everyone will tell you the same thing a soon as you roll off the lot there’s issues and when you want …

  162. Our entire experience here was great. We went through the True Car app and noticed alot of vehicles were recommended from Beach Blvd Automotive, so we decided to go check it out. We met with Champ and he took us right away to look around. …

  163. I went to beach Blvd automotive to look for a car today an met Phillip. He was so professional and even though we test drove at least 5 cars and I ended up not buying one he never made me feel pressured. I gave this beach Blvd automotive 5 stars not for the cars at this place but for the customer service.

  164. Edit June 10th, 2019.
    I bought another car from them. Same sales man (Champ and Joseph) and had a very pleasant experience. Both my cars run and drive fine. My 07 pathfinder is …

  165. Horrible service. Bought the car, took it back to service three times. Not to mention I’m going with out the car for about 3 days at a time. Every single time the engine light came back on. The mechanics told me the don’t know what else to …

  166. Even though I arrived at the dealership rather early in the morning, I had Champ as my salesman, and all I have to say is that he was extremely accommodating to my needs. At times i felt as if i was annoying him with my questions and many …

  167. I bought a car from them and within a month I had to fix to pay 2000 dollars for a transmission. The have horrible customer service please stay away from this place. Jacksonville has a lot more trustworthy other used car places this place is a scam!!!!

  168. Apparently the people of beach Blvd automotive are living in a bubble. They repossessed my vehicle which wasn’t late on payments. Insurance cancelled a week ago. I got no phone call or anything. If this was any other time I would completely …

  169. I read most of the reviews of this dealership which had a car I was looking for. When I realized the car I narrowed my search to was not only in Florida (I’m in TN) but was at a dealership with such bad reviews I was nervous to pursue it. I …

  170. When i came in i had no idea what kind of car i wanted so Champ took me in the golf cart to look at everything to see if i liked anything. I was torn between 2 cars and he stayed patient with me. I was very surprised that he wasn’t trying …

  172. I recently bought a used vehicle for myself from Beach Blvd. I was very pleased with our salesman Jim, who is nice, professional, and straight forward. 10 days after purchasing my vehicle, I came back looking for a car for my wife. I think …

  173. We had a very small budget, that’s understandably why we were only able to choose from either : A vehicle that legit wouldn’t crank up as I sat in the driver’s seat to check out the car/see how it runs. Well, there goes that option. Then …

  174. Today my grandmother and I were serviced by a gentleman by the name of Champ. My grandmother and I can be hard to please and we can be overbearing at times- this never stopped him from being the best person and sales person he could be. We …

  175. Only gave one star because zero stars wasn’t an option. Salesperson was no where to be found. Sales Manager told us “oh well”. You would think when you ask to buy a car they would want to sell you one. Not at this place. They are more …

  176. Of course I am reading all these reviews after I bought my vehicle from them. The first time I visited Beach Boulevard Automotive, I fell in love with a 2008 Buick Enclave that was on the lot. The salesman I was dealing with, Nacho, didn’t …

  177. Worst car buying experience ever. If you’re fortunate enough to read these reviews before going there, save yourself the trouble and do not go there. Unfortunately I did not read all of these reviews until after I purchased a vehicle and …

  178. Shorty business techniques. Never return your phone calls. Took a white Jetta out for a test drive. They didn’t have the courtesy to clean any of the vehicles out before putting them on the lot. My girlfriend didn’t even want to sit in the …

  179. NEVER BUY HERE!!!!! I got a car from this company and it was a LEMON. 3 days after I left the car lot 4 lights appeared on my dashboard including the engine light. Called and addressed the problem, they stated come in anytime and they’ll …

  180. Was looking for a pick up truck, wanted something used, I searched and searched, however, it wasn’t until I saw a vehicle at BeachBlvdAutoautomotive that my search ended. I sent an inquiry and was contacted by Salesman Eric Dixon (Thursday) …

  181. Beach Blvd Auto had been fantastic!! Kevin is a great salesman and was very open and honest when it came to disclosing issues with prospective vehicles, and made sure i had a safe and reliable vehicle to drive. The mechanics up here are …

  182. Before driving to the dealership, I read up on some Google reviews to gauge the probable experience; without too much research, it was clear that Champ was the salesman to get in contact with. Called the main shop number, got quickly …

  183. This place was good considering how women get treated at car dealerships. I got a good car at a good price but I am very upset that they turned my check engine light off… Or knew it needed a new Cadillac converter and never told me. The …

  184. Ask for Champ! He was so patient, understanding, and very straight forward. The first day I stopped by he allowed me to look at several vehicles and I couldn’t make a decision right then. So the next day, I called and asked him if he could …

  185. Bought vehicle 10/23/201. Took back 11/20/2021 because check engine light on. Paid for one thing to be told today need a new engine. Crooked people. Crooked owner. Refused to refund me. What kind of people are they. Had it towed from dealership back home.

  187. I went there today to buy a car. I don’t know how to rate this. On one hand it was lame that their only customer was turned down because it was counting down the last hour before closing. On the other hand, I am very thankful I didn’t buy a …

  188. Don’t buy from these people. We purchased a vehicle from them and it took four months to recieve the title for the truck. They sold us a truck when they did not have the title which is against the law. Then if you are so much 1 day late on …

  189. Crooked salesmen sold a car right from under me when I was omw to put 4500 down on it and had paperwork all ready approved. Call me to tell me to turn around he was so rude! All the cars they had were garbage amd over priced big time!!! Do not do business with them they are too many other dealerships in jacksonville!!

  190. I had an awesome experience finding and purchasing a used vehicle from Champ at Beach Blvd Automotive today. The golf cart around the lots, the test drive, and the suggestions that he made to match the car to my budget are appreciated. Grateful for his help and getting a deal closed.

  191. I picked out a car after much shopping around; put a deposit down said i would be back saturday morning between 9 and 9:30 to pick up the car. Car was to be serviced, detailed and service light fixed, its probably a sensor, but it may not …

  195. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP!! These people have the worst reputation in Jacksonville. Mention his name and dealership around town and you will here NOTHING positive. He knowingly sells lemons which is why he makes you sign a 50/50 …

  196. Bought a ’97 Eclipse Spyder convertible with 83k miles for 2k a month ago. Did the CARFAX research on several of their vehicles prior to visiting. I ignored the majority of bad reviews on this dealership, due to the fact that it’s a USED car dealership. Happy with my purchase thus far! Thanks Guys!

  197. As long as this company has been around you would think they would want 5 stars ! BBB compliant placed !! I held up to my side of the deal and paid $14k in cash on a vehicle and doing a simple fix on the vehicle after being told the …

  198. I came to check out a few different cars their website listed. Only 1 was still there. The sales agent was nice but not helpful. He wouldn’t let me open the car nor test drive it without prior approval from the bank. Other dealerships allow …

  200. Great place to shop they greeted us right away. For an average person making an average wage need for liable Transportation this is the place to go. All the cars have prices on them there’s no guessing. In the inventory is great.

  205. Extremely disappointed with this company. They led me to believe I had to sign not as a co-borr but because of my child’s age (by the way they didn’t pull my credit) then sold the loan to Mid-Atlantic who ran my credit smh

  206. Their customer service is garbage! If you want to waste your time speaking with them go ahead. Zero help here, I called for a vehicle the salesman hang up on me in the middle of a question what a nice company. 👎🏻 …

  207. I purchased a vehicle from them on May 12th, 2021. Two days later on May 14th, 2021. I was sitting in my car eating lunch while listening to the radio with the car running lo and behold the car started smoking. I called Kevin Young the …

  209. Please believe every bad review you read. They’re all true. Bought a car from them and 2 months later needed an engine. They sell subpar, non-reliable, heaps of metal. Priced like certified pre-owneds (overpriced). If you read these reviews and still decide to buy a car from them then that’s your fault. Please heed my warning !!!

  210. Not horrible but not amazing what can you say about used car dealers? Please note, it didn’t do wonders to see my trade-in listed within days at a price of 7x higher than what you gave me for it. Best you could do eh?

  211. Purchased a used car, staff was very friendly and tried to negotiate fare prices. We negotiated a few repairs with our car and they did honor them. Only thing I found just minor frustration was for a few hanging items I had to constantly …

  212. The car was completely different in person than on the website. Things not mentioned such as a hanging mirror and the steering wheel shook like crazy. Kept trying to find us something else but they just didn’t have what we were looking for, especially with the prices compared to what it should actually be.

  213. The worst. If Mike come up to you don’t walk but run away!!!!! He is about himself!!!! The only reason I gave a star is because I can not give something less. NEVER WILL I STEP ON THAT LOT AGAIN!

  214. I’m very satisfied with my experience at Beach Boulevard Automotive. Everyone I came in contact with smiled and spoke to me. My salesman Ronnie was very prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Not only am I satisfied with the friendly staff, …

  216. A great place to purchase a used vehicle or a scooter or a solar-powered motorized bicycle. The staff there is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Their selection is plenty and the hospitality is the best. I would highly recommend Beach Boulevard Automotive to anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle.

  217. I went into Beach Blvd Automotive today knowing what kind of car I wanted and was shown something within my price range that was exactly what I needed. Todd did a great job showing me to what I wanted and helped me get the very best deal …

  218. The owner goes above and beyond for his customers. He let me back out of a loan on a junk car I bought from there after I already signed the contract. No one else would be that nice. Truly appreciate what he did for me. I paid 1 car off and …

  219. This place was amazing, Eric Dixon was a great help with my car and servicing. Not only that but he made sure I left happy with a car that was best for me. If you’re going to buy a car ask for ERIC !

  220. I was really glad to try this company when Ii got their because they had golf cart to assist in searching property for cars & I have mobility issues with arthritis. I had a list of 4 cars I got off website I wanted to look at but none of …

  221. Beach Blvd Auto runs a goods business. They have wide selection of affordable cars, they make it very easy to buy one, and they treat you well throughout the process. I test drove 5 cars and my sales rep Mike Shahoori listened to what I …

  222. They had to fix a leak from an oil change that I got 4 days prior from Jiffy Lube on Bay Meadows. It seems a rubber part was split when installing during an oil change. …

  223. This place is about the worst dealer in the city. All of their cars are junk and they know they will break down literally the next day. I bought a used car for 5k cash and the very next day it was over heating. Mechanic said head gasket was …

  224. Eric Dixon was incredible! We came in short notice looking for a car and he made it happen. Thanks to his hard work and dedication to his job, we’re leaving here with the car we had our hearts set on! Thank you!

  225. Had good customer service showing us the vehicles. A wide range of price points in their vehicles.
    Only problem we had was when we asked if we could take a used car to our …

  226. Eric Dixon, of Beach Blvd Automotive, was a perfect salesman. Exceedingly helpful before and after we chose our car. If there were any issues Eric had them attended to immediately. Friendly atmosphere, excellent staff and service crew. Highly recommend!

  227. Beach Boulevard Automotive is a nice little family-run business with a good selection of cars that rotate out consistently. Kevin our sales person was very friendly and accommodating even though we were not able to buy a car he was helpful …

  228. This is one of the few dealership that sells various types of vehicles such as cars, electric bicycles and motorcycles. They don’t have the best customer service but you might get a good deal with patience. Find a car within your budget and haggle your way down if you have the time. Not a bad experience.
