Thanks Tamari, Ethan and the Heather was just awesome and great to work with. The most relaxed dealership I've ever been in. All our questions were answered and helpful. I highly recommend this place if looking for a great deal, friendly atmosphere with no pressure!. Thanks again, enjoying our new truck!

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a car from Plattner Automotive Group and the experience exceeded my expectations. After reading some of the reviews from another website, I was a little skeptical about them. The reviews would say that advertising amount was different from the final amount. People need to understand that final amount includes taxes and fees. They also offered additional covers such as Gap insurance and additional warranty which is completely optional. The staff was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, and guided me through the entire process with patience and expertise. The dealership boasts an impressive selection of vehicles, and the sales team's transparency made me feel confident in my choice. I highly recommend Plattner s for their professionalism, outstanding customer service, and commitment to making the car-buying journey enjoyable.

Stay away from this dealer. Advertised price is not correct. Went in to look at a used F250 truck needed tires that were completely dry rot. Asked if they were willing to negotiate for the tires or put new ones on. Was told by the desk manager when the owner priced the truck he wasn't including that the truck was lifted so that the price advertised didn't include the used lift that was already on the truck. Scam Artist

Had a great buying experience with Carmelo! He was right on the money with helping me find a great deal on an awesome car! Everyone was very great and professional! Lamar worked wonders to get me into my new car!

First time I've ever gone to a dealership and have felt comfortable every step of the way and not treated as though I'm either a simpleton or throwing out fancy terms to make me feel uncomfortable. Mello explained everything every step of the way and made the process so simple with some laughs thrown in! Would definitely recommend and be back for any future vehicles!Unfortunate Update:I spent my Thanksgiving holiday praying to God that I would not go into labor due to the fact the vehicle I purchased had 4 tires with dry rot and engine troubles and I was told any issues found after purchase would be taken care of. After 1 trip to this facility I was told I would have to venture an extra 25 miles out of the way to have the issues fixed - told there would be no charge due to the vehicle being sold that way - only to have to make this trip multiple times and then charged for the repairs! Between the hours spent at the facilities, the time spent driving on rotted tires with a bad engine and the fact that no one has returned any phone calls to answer any questions I feel I had no choice but to update my previous review to warn future customers! This was supposed to be the vehicle that made me feel safe and secure bringing my child into this world but I spent the 1st couples weeks in it praying to God I just made it safely where I needed to without something horrible happening. Very surprised at the lack of communication from this facility and the rude communication from the facility they made me travel to; especially after asking if I could take it to my own mechanic if I would be charged and I was garunteed there wouldn't be a charge!Never thought I'd say this but I would recommend recording conversations and get everything agreed to in writing! Unfortunately 1 star service

this was my first time buying a vehicle without a family member. Das was great and super nice. they got me into a nice 4 door jeep, so i cant complain much other than they sold it to me for $5k over what they had it listed for. heather was super helpful as well!

Walked in and purchased my new used car in just a few hours! Knowledgeable staff and very pleasant to work with. Highly recommend you try them for a no pressure sales staff better than dealing with the big guys!

Literally a horrible dealership! I highly suggest nobody ever deals with these scammers! They may have a vehicle that you love and you want. But please save your self from going there. You will be so angry after dealing with them. It's very known not to deal with them. Please go elsewhere

Nice group of people. Typical pushy sales pitch and game play to get you to buy, but I expect that with any car salespeople. So far very pleased with the vehicle. Some cosmetics that weren t noticed initially that I wish would have been pointed out, but nothing I can t deal with. They did replace a cracked grill. For $28,000 I wish they would have thrown in a second key fob, but oh well.

So I am editing my post. They make you give them a review when you buy a vehicle by telling you that if you don t leave a review the salesman won t get paid. So I am sure he has been paid by now . About a month and a half ago I bought a used truck from them. The sales people are fine. The manager, ( Lamar ) puts anywhere between 3000 to 4000 dollars on top of their advertised price of a vehicle. They tell you that they put new stuff in it and a LoJack system and paint protector and anything else they can try. I drove a hard bargain and settled on 1000 over asking price because I wanted the vehicle. At the signing of the paperwork I paid cash for my truck and Lamar assured me the vehicle had been run through safety . I pointed out that there was a logout missing off each wheel of this 2019 truck. The deal made was that he would have his mechanic put them on. There was a dent in the front bumper and the seal we made was I would buy a new bumper and his mechanic would put in on.I should never have trusted lamar on his word. He did not put on the lug nots and when the bumper came in he would not return any of my phone calls. I will be stopping by there to tell lamar that his word isn t worth anything and he is just another salesman thief that will never amount to anything . I am sure he is just what the platter automotive group is looking for otherwise why would he still be there. Do not but any vehicles from the platter automotive group and from lamar at the punta gorda plattner sales lot.

Dishonest dealer!!-AVOID!They advertised a 2020 Nissan Rogue for $14,700 . I called and checked availability before driving 3.5 hours to go look at it. The vehicle had had some body damage but I stated I would buy it for $14,700 and NOTHING.. The entire staff was not happy they then had the finance manager come over and tell me that I Had to purchase a garbage power train warranty for $3,000 or they would not sell me the vehicle. The manager/owner stated we can t sell that vehicle that low of a price SAVE THE TIME, they will not sell at the advertised price!! You will be forced to purchase products that are optional Slimy deceptive dealership

Worked out a price with Melo and then the finance manager sat down and wanted to charge me an extra 2000.00 for accessories. Stating it was for the LoJack that was in the car. This was a 2016 vehicle with very high mileage. It reminded me of the back handed used car salesman from decades ago. I thought most of them were gone. I would never buy a car from this place.

Very disappointed in this dealership. Was told the price of the truck , of course when paperwork was presented truck was at least 5k more. Refused to give proof of offer paperwork, said we could only finance in house, interest rate of 10% with an excellent credit score. The only good thing they have going for them was Victor their pleasant salesman. Waste of time, unless your desperate shop somewhere else.

These people will say anything to sell you a car. I completely regret buying a car from here. They are nice until complete with the sale then don t give a damn about their customers. Will never buy from here again. Bunch of scammers

Matt, Lamar and Heather were awesome!!! They were on point for the whole sale. My wife was stressing the monthly payments and they worked with her to get her to a place to feel comfortable. Had my 4 year old daughter in the store acting like a normal 4 year old and they didn't miss a beat. Outstanding service will be buying from them again.

Horrible experience, worked out a deal over the phone with Mello who was a really cool guy, I explained it was a 2 hour drive and I didn t want to waste my time. On my arrival the manager increased the price by almost 8,000 over the listed price online and 5,000 more than our agreed price.

Had to purchase a car unexpectedly and went in and talked with Carmelo. He and Heather made this experience as easy as possible with NO PRESSURE! They truly took the fear of purchasing a car into a pleasurable experience! Would recommend them over and over!
