We heard about your store on the radio so we decided to check out your inventory. When we got here we test drove 2 vehicles; both were clean running great. We made our decision and left happy with a great sports car. There was no pressure. Everything went quick and smooth. We will definitely recommend you to others.

I came to the Car Store from hearing commercials on the BTLS 102.5 After going to the website I found a 07 Chevy Silverado. When I drove to the Car Store from Clearwater I was welcomed by Buddy. It was 12 noon on a Saturday and he was very busy but made time for me and got me into a great truck. My experience at The Car Store was seamless and nothing short of a pleasure. I will be back in the future for all my truck purchases.

-Englewood Area Fire Control District

Aside from the fact that the 2005 Chevy Silverado Joe Gibbs LT was exactly as pictured and described on EBAY, where I first saw, and decided to purchase it, it was very much worth the trip over from Sebastian to meet your staff and browse your unique store. I really enjoyed dealing with, and talking with you all. If I lived closer, I would stop in often, just to visit.

-Walter Boyce

I would like to take a moment to describe my exceptional experience of buying my vehicle through The Car Store. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my needs in the vehicle I was looking to purchase. I've done the new car thing with a few local dealerships as well as the used car thing with others and The Car Store hands down was the best. These days everyone is looking for the best deal as well as service. This is a family run business and it shows. They aren't about getting your money and pushing you to the side. The staff actually makes you feel like you mean more than just a check to them from the lender. I'm a small town girl and like the feeling of knowing I get the best for my buck. I recommend the Car Store to anyone that wants the best deal for their money as well as the feeling of knowing you aren't getting screwed by some here today gone tomorrow business.
