Recently purchased my 2011 ford ranger from Jim. Down to earth, no nonsense business man. The experience was so much better than a larger dealer. It was less than 2 hours from arriving and out the door. The truck is awesome, thanks Jim!!!

the Car Seekers are the gold standard of how a business should run. I cannot say enough in one review to fully express my gratitude towards them for helping me thru the car buying process. I went to the Car Seekers looking to upgrade up car and the service I received was above and beyond what I would expect from a used car sales service. I waited a little to write my review to fully test out the car because I was almost certain this was too good to be true. Linda got me in a Lexus RX 350 and it was better than I could have dreamed! I not only got a phenomenal price but it also runs better than any car I have ever driven. I don't suspect that I will need another car anytime soon but when I do need one, I will certainly be coming back to the Car Seekers. Thanks again !

Jim and The Car Seekers is your reliable go-to shop for used and new cars. Jim found me the perfect truck (even though it wasn't on his lot) and it was the easiest vehicle purchase transaction of my life. No high pressure sales pitch like you get into at the other stores; just honest trustworthy advice from a friend and former mechanic.

For 3 weeks I was looking for an inexpensive car. Everything I looked at was pure junk. My wife happened to drive by The Car Seekers and seen a few cars for sale. We stopped by their Memorial Day week-end knowing that no one would be around, we found 3 cars in my price range. We decided give them a call to make an appointment to test drive them. Jim answered the phone and to my surprise came right down to show us the cars. They were absolutely the best cars I've looked at in my 3 week search. The following day I called him to purchase one of the cars thinking that we would set something for the day after Memorial Day, nope Jim came right down so we could take the car that day. The car was Everything he said it was, actually it was better than that. If you're looking for a fair price, quality used car give Jim a call you will not be disappointed. I had a blow out & was in need of 2 tires for my car, I called all of your chain tire shops and all they were interested in is selling me 4 tires and their prices for them was out of this world, and it would be after the 4th of July before they could get them, them it dawned on me call Jim at The car Seekers he maybe able to find tires for me. I called at 4:45 , he told me he could have them by noon. He called me at 10am said your tires are here. I was in and out in 45 minutes & he beat everyone's prices. I won't go anywhere else for tires, mechanic work or a used car. Thank you Jim.

It is a pleasure working with the The Car Seekers team. From my first call to Jim and all follow-calls, the team is very responsive in all aspects. In my opinion, the staff presents only high-quality vehicles, at very fair and competitive prices, and are very professional in all they do. Jim and his team worked with me to see the van I was interested in and supported my arrangements for me to pick-up the van and drive it back to New England. My family and I could not have found a better van anywhere based on the type of van we were looking for, to include a quality vehicle in all aspects for an extremely fair price. The Car Seekers are just awesome to work with! I highly recommend working with The Car Seekers team when considering the purchase of a pre-owned vehicle. Thank you for everything Jim! David.

My parents car got flooded in Hurricane Ian. My husband knows the owner Jim. Since they are in their 80s, we needed to know they would t be taken advantage of with their limited means and we are 1200 miles away. Everything was done via the internet and over the phone. I cannot express the help and professionalism provided. So grateful, my mom loves the car and can rest easy knowing history was checked. If you are WITHIN 2 hrs (they were an hour and half) please please call Jim. You won't be disappointed

I've personally bought two cars from here, Jim is an awesome guy. Always tries to do the best he can for whoever walks through the door.. Hard to find a business that tryst to be as honest as possible these days. This is that business

Jim is an HONEST used car dealer. And he s nice, and he s fair. He is also as good a mechanic as you are likely to find (he was a mechanic for decades for the New York City fire department!), and if he says the car you are interested in buying is in good shape, you can believe it is. The one we bought at a reasonable price certainly is!

Highly recommend this car dealership. We needed a vehicle last minute after ours broke down. He was very understanding and made things easy and convenient. The car was very clean when we got it! I would definitely say they went out of their way and provided exceedingly above great customer service. So glad we chose to do business with them and look forward to a positive , lasting relationship!

Jim is great! He does a good job at getting to the best deal. I have bought two trucks over the last couple months from him for my business. Both have been excellent. He checks everything over on these cars and you can trust you are getting a reliable vehicle from him.

A neighbor recommended The Car Seekers to me as she had purchased a van there and was very happy with the van as well as the buying experience. I went down and met Jim and I have to say im 62 years old and have purchased a few cars in my time and this was the most pleasant car buying experience I have ever had. Jim is truly a decent man to do business with. Needless to say I purchased a car and im very happy. I will recommend Jim and The Car Seekers every chance I get. I hope when you read this two words stand out pleasant and decent as they tell the story. Thank you Jim for making it fun for this senior to buy a car.

I just bought my 3rd car through Jim. He is very professional and I KNOW he saves me money every time. He steers me away from cars that he believes to be unreliable. I love saving money and bringing the business to a small business owner instead of those big dealers. Those fancy car dealer buildings on 41 are built with big profits on cars! Nope - when I need another car - I give Jim a call. Highly recommend.

Best car buying experience ever! Jim was honest,knowledgeable and highly service orientated. I found the entire experience to be easy and straightforward. I traded in a car I had purchased new several years ago for a Toyota Rav4. I Absolutely love the way it drives! Thanks Jim for all your help in purchasing my car.

Definitely the place to come to buy a vehicle!! Jim is amazing! He s super helpful and a genuinely good guy, which you don t find often when buying cars. He put us in the truck we wanted and then helped us transition to the car we needed as a family and for that I m extremely great full.

I looked all day for a car all over Sarasota, after going to multiple dealerships and test driving multiple cars a friend told me to go to car Seekers. They had a better selection of cars than any other dealership I went to, I did not have much money to put down Jim worked with me and was able to get me into a car fast. I was able to get the car the same day. They are also very friendly. I definitely recommend and now my oldest son wants to buy his first car from there when he turns 16 lol

Very, very, very good experience. Jim is laid back and NORMAL. You know the weird, plastic, carnivorous personalities you deal with at bigger dealerships? You'll get none of that here. He was reasonable and willing to barter. He got some profit, I got a deal. He was open about what he paid for, so I was able to see that there was no greed. He did not try to sell me any frivolous add ons. Just the car. In and out in about 45 minutes.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this guy! Really helped me out when I was down and needed a car. (More than once) Good quality, good price, and Jimmy has a GREAT heart! They honestly do care and you can trust that you'll get a good vehicle.

I had to pick up a car that my company bought from him and I have nothing negative to say at all. He was very pleasant when I spoke to him on the phone and when he got there to give me the key to the vehicle that was purchased even though he could've been a little annoyed because my company waited almost 3 weeks to get it so I would've understood but he was very kind about, even loaned us a screwdriver to tighten the screws for the license plate. If not was in the pre-owned car market in would not hesitate to purchase a vehicle from him because of how professional he was.

I purchased my first vehicle with Jim recently, and I found him to be honest and forthright. What's more.... I hate shopping, for anything, but this experience was like buying a car from your buddy, no pressure, maybe even enjoyable. Also a problem came up with the power steering and he fixed it promptly with no charge. So far... So good.

These guys are the real deal! Stopped in for a detail that was well needed. My truck was filthy and the Car Seekers made my truck look brand new. I will return. Highly recommended! Also they have a great car selection with competitive pricing!

I am sorry for Mr. Frick's troubles with his purchase. He purchased a 13 year old car with 135k. He stated he was a mechanic for over 35 years. He thoroughly inspected the car and test drove it. He declined a drive train warranty that would cost $300, it would of afforded him 3000 miles or 3 months coverage.After using the car for a couple of weeks and putting over 600 miles on it, he came in and stated the head gasket needed replacing and what could we do ? I said he could return the car less his taxes and title fees. He declined opting to repair the car as he stated that he liked the car and he had already purchased some maintenance items he wanted to replace. We agreed that The Car Seekers LLC. would make a goodwill gesture and purchase the head gasket set. Mr Frick insisted on Honda only parts, and I purchased a set for almost $300. He was pleased with this arrangement. More than a month later he called asking for a FULL refund as his diagnosis and/or repair went bad. At that time I did indeed state that "its not gonna happen" and he threatened to call his lawyer. I asked him to come in and we could further discuss his options to resolve this as best we can. He said ok but never showed up and then he placed this negative review to try and damage our business.We at "The Car Seekers" never knowingly sell a car with issues that aren't disclosed. When and if a problem arises we do all we can to assist in resolving the problem as cost effective as possible, often doing goodwill repairs.Our customers, old and new continually seek our services for our honesty, integrity and making car buying easier and hassle free.

Jim the owner, was a stand up guy and felt like he could be trusted, where i didnt feel the same about other dealerships... He was attentive, knowledgeable and worked with me rather than just for himself. Thanks Jim and I totally would recommend this business to other people...

The Car Seekers is an awesome, superb place to go shopping for a car. Even women can expect to not be taken advantage of. There r a number of one owner and low mileage autos. The owner, Jim, is on the premises and will, himself, guide u thru ur selection and help u find a vehicle that best suits ur needs and budget. He does not try to steer u to some vehicle he wants u to buy, but instead he ll help u to find something u like and can afford. He definitely wants a happy customer. Word of mouth is still the best advertising. He keeps an inventory of cars, trucks and SUVs to fit a person s budget no matter how much or how little u have to spend.I ve sold new and used cars in the past. Jim, Car Seekers , is an honest, straight up person selling good, reliable vehicles. Previously I bought an SUV (Honda CRV). This time I got a most beautiful, burgundy Lexus. It looks brand new inside and out. True that!I read the other reviews and whoever Private Private is they r not being truthful. They must be otherwise miserable in their own life and find the web a good place to bash someone. They re what some people call a hater . Too bad.I m crazy about my new car; a one owner, 69 thousand mile burgundy beauty and it rides well and gets good mileage. It is luxury! Thank u very much, Jim. I m a happy, lucky woman.
