One of the most pleasant experiences buying a used car in my many years. My wife and I both felt a level of trust that you don t often experience. I highly recommend Christopher and will be going to them for service down the road.

Such nice guys! AND the body shop is open to all. Just got a new battery here. We waited- that s how fast Shane was! Price was considerably less than we thought it would be. Great place to get your higher-end car repaired. Waaay less than a dealer needless to say. Car lot is also very square dealer (Chris).

Chris is GREAT to work with. He has cars and trucks priced for all budgets and even offers in-house financing. I will gladly work with him again. Thank you for a stress free deal.

Cars of Sarasota is the best place to get any vehicle you are looking for . Not only is it a great dealership but the owner Chris treats you like family not just a customer. Goes above and beyond to make you happy with your purchase . Just purchased my 10th vehicle from him and never have had a problem that s why I keep coming back. Stay away from big town dealerships just use small town dealerships like Cars or Sarasota you won t be disappointed. Thanks again Chris for the great service and hooking me up again on a awesome truck and deal.

Cars of Sarasota was an amazing place for me to finally purchase the vehicle I've been searching for almost a year. Chris was super friendly, knowledgeable and took his time explaining everything. When looking thru the lot, you can tell that they take their time in selecting the vehicles that they offer to the public. I purchased a very clean Lexus LS430 which was very well maintained and Chris and his staff you can tell still went out of their way in order to have the vehicle ready for me. I drove all the way from Miami to pick this beauty up and would highly recommend their dealer and business overall.

Honesty and integrity define every interaction I've ever had with Cars of Sarasota over the last 15 years. Chris and his staff have always been there for us and it's always been a safe place to send my wife for honest pricing and quality work. Recently, they were quickly able to diagnose and repair a check engine light and get me back on the road. Thanks as always and good luck at your beautiful new great location!

Best experience. We had our Jeep worked on at another place and it was not really fixed . Took it to Cars of Sarasota and they completely took ownership in regards to fixing our Jeep. My husband said during the process the communication and professionalism was world class. Thank you! We love our Jeep. I highly recommend them.

Great to do business with Chris. It was refreshing to buy a truck with a non " used car salesman" Honest and forthright with the pricing, no funny business. I'll be back next time I am looking for another used vehicle.

This is a great place for a used vehicle, Chris was nothing but helpful/polite/ and worked quickly.I live in MA. There in FL. I asked to see more pics and had received what I wanted within the day. I purchased the Nissan Pathfinder. They had it ready for transporter the following day. When I received the vehicle it was exactly as described. A great looking and running SUV.Cars of Sarasota 5 starsPolite, quick turnaround, courteous, not pushy car salesman, smooth hassle free vehicle purchase.Thanks Chris!

I wasn t looking forward to the process of buying a used car. I was expecting a pushy car salesman trying to talk me into things I didn t need and extra charges I didn t want to pay. At Cars of Sarasota, I found an affordable, low mileage Toyota Camry in excellent condition and Chris Berloni was an absolute pleasure to work with. He wasn t pushy at all, explained everything for me and made sure I was comfortable with my purchase. I will definitely be recommending my family and friends to visit Cars of Sarasota for their next used car purchase!

There is no finer car dealership in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. Chris is the most helpful, honest person you could ever want to help you with buying a vehicle.

Cars of Sarasota is the only place I'll be buying used vehicles from now. I was in bad shape my car had just blown up and I didn't know what I was going to do but cars of sarasota helped me find a beautiful low mileage, dependable family car and fast. It's been over a year and I still love my car. I've had no issues. We're going to be looking for a vehicle for our son soon and I wouldn't trust anyone else. Thank you Update we just bought our second car from Cars of Sarasota. My first one us still running perfectly and I couldn't be happier. This 2nd one is for our son.I know he is driving a safe dependable vehicle from cars of Sarasota.They do everything to make sure you are taken care of. Not a normal buy here lot. No worries here. They stand behind their vehicles.Thanks again guy's

One of the best cars I've ever owned I got from cars of Sarasota and literally had no issues with besides normal maintenance things and they are always more than fair with me as far as pricing and doing work on my past cars and current car .

Amazing!! I just purchased a truck from Cars of Sarasota and the manager, Chris, was great! The truck was awesome and priced much lower than it would have been anywhere else! The truck was perfect, the experience was perfect and fast (took less than 20min to close the deal) and Chris made me feel confident in the car I was buying. Chris, you made a customer for life and I look forward to using your service center as well. Very impressed!-Jake

Five star service! Chris (local owner), Anthony, Paul, and Mike fixed the A/C, window motor, and sliding door lock on my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan while I waited! very personable, professional, and reasonable. Chris was clear about not trying to sell stuff you don't need which was reassuring. You can't get service like this at the corporate chain or dealer shops. Excellent location near Clark and McIntosh just before the tracks north side of Clark. After decades in automotive sales and service, Chris is the chief now and he knows how to pick his help Anthony is great, Paul is excellent, and Mike is very good; obviously very experienced and personable. I highly recommend Cars of Sarasota.

Yesterday I purchased a vehicle from Cars of Sarasota and was extremely impressed with their professionalism and honesty. Chris Berloni was great to work with during the entire transaction. I would recommend them and will be back should I need their services again.

Thank you so much for helping me and my family. We re from out of town and needed a job done to the 2 back tires of my RV. I seen this shop pulled in and was helped by the owner. He was more than happy to assist me with my needs and able to get my family and I back on the road. I thank you for helping me out. The prices are amazing. if I d ever be in this area again and need mechanical work he s the first person I ll go to. Not the mention what his repair cost was was so low I had to tell him to charge me more. Thanks again you guys rock !

Great place to purchase a used vehicle for several reasons. 1. Prices are realistic and fair 2. All the vehicles are looked over by the Master Mechanic on premises and all repairs are made properly before the vehicle is listed and sold.

I've always had great service everytime I've gone in Cars of Sarasota. It's a place I know that I can feel comfortable sending my wife alone when I am not able to take her vehicle in for service. They have never pushed her to get repairs done that we did not need. I have referred many friends in here and they were all happy with my suggestion. I even got a referral fee for sending a friend in who purchased a car. Chris, the owner and his staff have always taken care of us! I highly recommend going in here instead of those chain places that just rip you off!

I just bought a 2006 Ford Escape from these terrific guys. The price was right and the car looked like brand new. I came in with a broken arm from an accident which totaled my 2005 Escape and was able to replicate the exact car. After buying it, I noticed it a couple sounds I didn't hear on my initial test drive. They did a total diagnosis of the problem and repaired it, no questions asked. Buying a used car can be a crap shoot but I would trust Chris, Anthony, Paul and crew anytime. I promise I am just a customer, unsolicited and totally recommend them!

I called to see if Chris was flexible on his price. He told me via email that he was. I called to inquire as to his best price and he told me the listing price was his best price. Chris then proceeded to chastise me for not looking at the vehicle before discussing price. I told him I'd prefer not to waste his time or mine before seeing if he could reduce the price. He then told me I am not permitted to ask him questions and I cannot make an offer for the vehicle prior to looking at it, even after I told him I was willing to discuss the final price over the phone and commit to a purchase, sight unseen. He then told me, "my lot's not for you, bro," and "I'll sell this vehicle for $13,995," then hung up on me. Poor attitude, poor service, and uneducated owner for sales. I've never had someone trying to sell a car give orders to someone trying to buy one - definitely a different species here. Good luck to those who purchase from this guy.

I have been around cars my whole life and Chris and Anthony by far are the best car salesmen and men I have ever met ! They made everything so easy with no pressure and many options to accommodate my needs . They are willing to sell my motorcycle so I can buy a corvette from them and want no commission in return, just happy to make my deal ! I would recommend Cars Of Sarasota to anyone ! Thanks again Chris , Anthony , and Mr. Briandi . Tom Zuczek

I have been a customer of "Cars of Sarasota" for years now. I have used them exclusively for vehicle and muffler repairs over the last few years. This place is definitely the best repair shop I have come across so far. The work was always done perfectly and was very reasonably priced. Nothing was ever over-charged, nothing was ever missed. I will always bring all my vehicles here and only here for any repair or maintenance.- Chanz

Very easy buying experience. Bought a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. I wanted somethings changed/added to the truck and they were happy to do them. Also, had a problem with the truck after about a week (needed a high speed balance) and they covered the cost of that. Recommend these guys to anyone!

1 Star only because there is nothing below. I bought a car from them in 2016. They assured me, it would be able to run without an issue for few years, mainly because it was a car owned by one of their mechanics and he took good care of it. A year after and every issue possible from replacing steering pump, steering rack, entire cooling system, AC system, master cylinder... etc...I have spent more money repairing that lemon than what I originally purchased the car for. Other mechanics that look at the car have told me that most of the problems were certainly pre-existing and "Cars of Sarasota" were for sure, well aware of that.
