David Gendron

Love Tom

Nicole Hinkfuss

Bought my SUV(envoy) from sunshine auto almost 2 years ago. Transmission went out and Tom was more then willing to replace/fix, willing to work out a deal for a new(used) transmission for a very reasonable price. Thank you again very very much

Zachary Goodacre

Tom helped me out when I needed a car unexpectedly. He's a nice guy and he is accommodating.

Trent Hyland

Quality cars. Tom is very helpful in finding exactly the car you need and giving you a very reasonable price. Also his credit program will really approve anyone looking to establish or reestablish credit.

Robin Johnson

I am so surprised I heard so many bad things about this dealership but I am beyond grateful .they don't have warranties on used cars You drive it check it then it's on you. Which is normal . But if you buy the parts labor free which we all no how much labor is . To my amazement I bought my car check engine light came on and a few other things . Tom the owner had me bring it in ,drop it off gave me a loner car and has been working on my car and it hasn't been cheap repairs . They have been doing it all for free they have been standing behind my car . I am so thankful and grateful for all they are doing for me . So Tom thank you and to his mechanics thank you

Hank Peterson

Niami Shepeard

Great place!

Bryce Steinbach

Thanks to Tom, I was able to work out a great deal on a Gold 2002 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4! Thanks for all the honesty and friendliness of Tom and all his employees. I will definitely shop here in the future! THANKS to all the employees! I can not think of his name, but the red headed guy, is very kind also. It is hard to find dealerships with this nice of people now' a days!

Arnold Wiggins

Great owner good cars for the money!

Robert Lemke

My wife and I bought a car here in November of 2016 and it ran fine until it was totaled in an accident, so we came back in January of 2018. We bought a car that had a chip in the windshield and within a couple days something went wrong with the engine (not really foreseeable). Tom hooked us up with a replacement windshield at wholesale cost and a free fix for the engine (who knows how much that could have cost us.) f you're looking for a budget car from a nice guy look no further than Sunshine Auto, I cannot recommend this place enough.

Christine Punio

Best car dealership I've ever had the pleasure of working with by far!

Daymon Pancheri

Excellent experience & great service!

Ed Barribeau

I was in need of a dependable and fuel efficient car. I went to Sunshine looking for a Saturn and Sunshine Tom directed me to a Saturn I could afford. Excellent customer care and concern.

Turbo Vang

VERY BAD CARS! The owner buys from auction, fix it so it just runs, and then post it for sale. when he gets a trade in, all he does is clean them and make sure it just runs and sell it pretty much as is. Save your time and spend more money on a better car.

Cass Buchers

Purchased a 2007 vw Passat. Low tire pressure light was on. I asked why and was told they aired up a tire it would reset after so many miles. Got the car home in the morning the car doesn't start and tires flat. After attempts to start it it starts take it in there is a nail in the tire and 2 tires leaking air. We immediately called Tom who suggested it was the battery. Took the car in first thing Monday their mechanic says it's the starter, even tho when it doesn't start it doesn't even try to turn over. They say bring it back Tuesday and they'll put a starter in. Wensday am the car does not start again. It takes 4 to 10 tries and finally it turns over really hard. I took video of the issue and called and spoke to Brad. I drove the car back in and they said It was a bad starter again. I left the car there Thursday it did not start for them so they replaced the starter, Friday it started so I picked it up. Sat the car starts but the antifreeze light is on, they disconnected the hoses to put a starter in and didn't even bother filling it back up, Sun and Monday the car starts Tue I don't leave the house, Wed the car pulls it reoccurring no start after 4 or 5 times of trying it starts, I drive it straight in and speak to the main mechanic Hezues, he says it's possibly the ignition or a bad ground after 1.5 hrs of discussion and me explaining I want the car fixed or a refund as the light doesn't go off as promised, tires going flat and it not starting the vehicle did not match the window discription. I agree to let him get it fixed. I'm given a loaner vehicle as I open the door the track shambles and falls into a handful of pieces and this morning guess what it doesn't start. Junk battery even in the nice fresh mini van pulled of the lot. They preceeded to call and I return the call they tell me the car has no issue. They had a random guy try to start it and it wouldn't start you have to hold the key. Well I'm pretty sure when a car doesn't start and you've tried 10 times you've surley held the key. And sometimes it does start. Brad proceeded to tell me I can't buy a car for 5,500 that doesn't have issues. I explained I didn't expect a brand new car but one that starts and matched the listing on the car. I asked for the car to be repaired or my money back. He says he'll have to talk to Tom.

Dean Kurowski

Tom's a con artist. He preys on those that are desperate for a vehicle and then takes advantage of them by sticking them under a high price loans for junked cars. He sold my wife a truck with no brakes pads and allowed to forge my name on a loan I was not there for or approved. None of his vehicles are ever inspected. Inspection sheets are pre-filled out, only thing he does a slaps the vehicle description on it and sticks it in the window. They are never inspected. So you end up with a ton of problems.

Paul Diem

Tom and the people are so awesome and kind

Terry Hartz

I was looking for a vehicle and seen an ad for Sunshine Auto. I went there and was treated like family. Tom took time to help me find the right car for me. And the price was so affordable that I could not past it up. I am very pleased with car and the treatment that I received at Sunshine Auto.

Preston Lyon

Van broke down in 3months and they are playing games trying to not talk to me over the phone.

Shirley Patterson

Fair prices and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Deborah Perez-Sanchez/ Russell

Tom is very friendly and has helped me get the vehicle i wanted. Of course things go wrong with vehicles new or used, he is willing to help me get them fixed which few dealers wont even do!! Thats great service in my eyes!! Definitely recommend to my friends and others. If he wanted he could of told me what other dealers n sellers had said which is: its your problem to fix since u took off the lot.

Gina M

Garbage cars.

Frank Hernandez

This is the third vehicle we've purchased from Tom, always a positive experience!

T-Dog dot-com Donnelly

Yes I checked it out and they have.little older cars with few driven, their priced are very fair

Kelly Bartel

Not impressed at all

idalmis Torres

(Translated by Google) It's a little more likely to buy your car than you need. (Original) Es un poco más probable que compres tu auto que necesitas.

Keith Woods

All i can say is wow. Was there 3 weeks ago got a appraisal for my car $3,000 trade in on a jeep that was $4000 went back today two weeks later was told $1800 trade in on a jeep they had three thousand what a complete jok

Brian Herrick

Sunshine sold me my Volkswagen passat it was a quick and easy transaction. After a few days i noticed a few things wrong but its a used car. Theres a o2 sensor and a muffler issue but that was easy. One of my tires were really bad and sunshine went and looked around for a tire for my car for me. Sunshine is a exellent place and reasonable if you talk to them. He is pretty good about fixing thulings if there is somethung wrong.

Crazy Skull

A bad idea to deal with this crook!

Angela Schoen

Crap for vehicles.

Karen Rangeloff

Kenneth Mueller

Hany Emam

Mark Brooks

Sunshine Auto, it's the experience of passion for people. Sunshine Tom & his associate's are all about the customer. Old school love for people & car's. Used car's are what's sold at Sunshine, but your children & their children will enjoy the first car experience and relationship for a lifetime. Sunshine keep shinning on us!!

Sierra Luchterhand

Sells bad cars and hard get money back. I have seen owner in court already. I have not hear good things about this place. I have gotten bad cars from them.

Nikki Nienhaus

This is the ONLY place I’ll go for a vehicle. I have only bought my vehicles from Tom, and cannot say enough great things about him and his biz. I never have to worry about buying a car from him! The entire process was easier than I could imagine. He goes out of his way to make sure there is no stress and offers plenty of options to accommodate your needs. They are all very friendly and welcoming when you walk on the lot. It’s as if you’re friends before you even meet! Tom is a salesman, but not your typical “salesman”... he’s not out to hustle you or make a sale. He is honest and forthcoming with all your questions or concerns. Again, I cannot say enough about my experiences at Sunshine Auto, but I will strongly encourage you to give them a call on your next used car purchase!!! Thank you Tom and Sunshine Auto

Stacy Wellner

I applied through credit acceptance, they work with people who have bad credit , no credit and who have had repossessions. We were given the names of three places that they work with. Sunshine Auto was one of the places so I filled out the application and found a vehicle we liked. I got a call from Mariner finance that sunshine works with we were told that we would have to have a cosigner. So obviously sunshine auto does not work with people that have bad credit or repossessions. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Jeanette Chester

I was in a desperate situation. Went to Sunshine and Tom the owner hooked me up. Great place to go and get a reliable

Leland Dickie

I am very pleased with my experience at Sunshine Auto. I pulled in with my Chev Lumina that had 235,000 miles and a head gasket that was going out. I stopped in on a whim and didn't think that I would even be considered. Low and behold after test driving 2 other nice cars, I am proud to say that I am now driving a CL320 Mercedes Benz that is amazing! I HIGHLY recommend shopping around here for a nice ride. Lots to choose from as well!! As for the commercial "Everybody Rides!" No, they don't. I was asked for $5000.00 down to be considered for a Nissan. I would rather die than to put that much down. Thanks again Tom!

Michael Kuba

Cheesy used car lot :(

David Mikle

We are very happy with our purchase. Tom has excellent customer service, and helped us find the the vehicle we really wanted . Would definitely recommend checking out this place if your looking for a quality used vehicle at a fair price.

Kevin Schroeder

Very unhappy with Tom and this dealership. Ive always been leary on purchasing any vehicle from this place, but recently I put that aside when I purchased my C240 from him. The car was clean and had 122000 miles on it. I figured "not bad." And for the price with my trade in I thought it was well worth it. The next day I had brought the car in for a quick once over before I made my way back down to Miami. They said everything appears to be alright. I started my trip down, after I made my first stop, just outside of Chicago, I did a quick check on everything just to make sure things were still good. I noticed the coolant level was low. Also I noticed there was discoloring around the cap. Mercedes coolant is blue and this color was a rusty yellow look. I continued on my trip, just to notice a few stops later that the coolant was low again! Now I'm thinking something is wrong, unfortunately it was too late to go back now. I refilled and continued down, keeping an eye on engine temp. When I made it to Atlanta, I was waived down and was told I was billowing smoke out of my rear, I looked and confirmed. I pulled over, and afterward noticed coolant draining out from underneath. My thoughts were the head gasket blew. I had to spend the night in Atlanta, and wait for Uhaul to open up the next day so I could rent a truck and car hauler. For that it costed me 1200 and another 400 for gas to make it back to Miami. After I got back, I brought the car to a Mercedes shop. They asked me if I had ever put Stop Leak in my coolant, and I told them no, only coolant. This would explain why there was discoloring and also why no one caught the leak! After further diagnosis, they told me that I had a cracked head and that is why I was leaking coolant. The fix, well there isnt one, you have to replace the entire motor! Which will now cost me an additional 4000!! And now I haven't heard anything back from Tom. I've tried calling numerous times and was only able to briefly talk to him once and he said he would get back to me. Well its been almost a 2 weeks later and still nothing, even when I call I get no answer. Its amazing that he is still in business when all he sells is junk cars, he doesn't even go thru them before he puts them on his lot, and once he takes your money, that's it! You're on your own now. He doesn't stand by his vehicles and offers no help if anything happens. I was hoping he would have worked with me to fix this, but I guess its easier to hide than to properly conduct business and stand by the vehicles he sells. They are scam artists with a dealer liscence

Jolene Falck

I got my car less then 4 months ago and it doesn't work. I took it in and the only thing wrong with it was that the reverse was out. It took them over 3 weeks to even get it in there shop to look at it, Then I got 3 different stories on what was wrong with it and 3 different prices. I went to pick it up today and turns out they killed the battery so not only can I not move my car I cant even start the damn thing.

Steve Shoff

Recently my wife and I bought a jeep from Tom. He is very sociable, intelligent and gave us a great deal. After we were done with all the paperwork, it was after hours so he offered me a beer. Or two. I mentioned that we had looked at the reviews first, saw a few one stars. In his defense...its a USED car lot. He pointed out that a couple of them were ex employees...terminated for one reason or another. There is one on there who posted twice, one star. Tom pointed out this guy was caught on camera stealing scrap from him while using one of the dealers own trucks! He has the incident "archived" in the system. In any event, we were totally happy with our Jeep, and actually made a good friend. He treated us to dinner at brau house in appl. So folks, don't believe everything you read. Thanks again Tom, Steve and Shelly.

Lataurus Robertson

This place get cars thats junk then it breaks down the owner wont fix it my truck been having problems ever since i got it bad bad place to get a car

James Laux

So a couple years back I bought a Dodge Neon from Sunshine Auto. Car was supposed to be in excellent shape with no issues. We signed the paperwork and we're on our way. Went across the street to a gas station to fill up and guess what? Battery was junk. Car would not start back up without a jump start. Shortly latter we had a wheel barring go out. Then an exhaust issue and then if that was not enough the transmission coolant like burst on the highway. Turned out the radiator was so rusted that the whole thing needed to be replaced. Then a short 2 months latter the timing belt broke and in turn bent the pistons and basically junked the engine completely. Beware of sunshine Tom. The guy is a crook. Now he has started to make Facebook ads for sunshine auto and I simply put that he sells junk cars and to beware. I got a private message from him threatening to sue me if I keep doing it. FYI Tom asks you to post a positive review before even leaving the lot so beware of positive reviews

Shylinn Abrams

Sunshine auto is a great place to go I high key recommend it. They are willing to work with you and the car they have to offer are. awesome. I haven't had a problem with my car yet and I've had it for about a month or so. The workers are great and very respect. If you're looking for a good car defiantly go here!

Mike D

Purchased a Ford F150 from Sunshine, got a nice truck for a great price, I recommend Tom to anyone looking to buy a used car!

Cindy Quinn

Took a friend there to look at a car they were very nice. Cars have very high mileage

ryan m Tom

Mike Miller

Cars that fall apart

Billy Bob

Excellent service and friendly people! Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

ilovetotri23

High prices for rental. They are the only willing party to rent. Guess that explains everything.

Mike Schaub

I got an awesome 2008 Ford escape from them for a great price..i got a 2008 for a thousand dollars cheaper than a 2007 escape I could find at any big dealership..they give great deals on great cars..ill definitely buy from them again

carmen torres

I went to Tom at Sunshine auto and only had a certain amount to spend on a vehicle, I was not on his lot more than 5 minutes before he started looking and showing me vehicles, all which I should say, I could not afford.. Not only did he bring down the price tremendously, added gas to my vehicle and fixed a prior issue at no cost to me.. I am forever grateful for the Godly way Tom deals with his customers.. Anyone can claim to be of good heart and do good from the heart, but this man actually was a tremendous blessing! As a cancer patient I need a reliable vehicle and he didn't hesitate to help.. And for that I would rate this dealership a 10 if I could, but only goes to 5 stars.. I am forever grateful Tom and may God continue to bless your business as a ministry to ensure people who need transportation can either get financed or find a reasonably priced vehicle within any budget.. We love our Chrysler Pacifica and the way the entire process was handled professionally and in timely manner.. Would highly recommend!!!

Anthoney Whitby

I bought a 1997 VW Passat In 2016 still runs great

Lee Klasing

Had the same issues with the fellow reviewers. purchased a van had less then 200 miles on it transmission blew. they didnt return phone calls they were supposed to fix a few issues so my wife drove it all the way back there and did not fix anything. they said they would send the part in the mail. never received it.... filed a complaint via BBB they didnt hear anything back from them either ended up having to junk a car that with nearly 200 miles on it... lesson learned!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debra Steinbach

The Owner didn't seem to care that my son was a minor. I am confident that the guy would of sold it straight to him if I didn't tell him myself that he is a minor and I need to sign off on it. As a matter of fact he even said that he had done in previously as laughed about it as the minors parent threatened to take him to court. Has a bunch of young kids working that didn't appear to know all the much. The place is not very well kept and looks shabby.

Alexis Hill

I purchased my SUV from Sunshine Auto in the spring of this year, I had an engine problem yesterday morning and I'm on my way to pick up my baby(SUV) now. Tom and his team are amaxing they work with individuals and work hard to get you back into your vehicle ASAP. Thank you Tom & Team !!!!

Ryan Osullivan

Everything about this place is Bad!! Not even words or time to say how I deal. Do not go there!!! Tom is a scammer, thief, and the biggest liar!!!

Diane Cumber

Great to work with

Judy McKendry

Purchased one car that ran great for years. Returning customer bought another car that didn't last a year. Car started having issues within the first week.

Kristie Wagner

Boyfriend bought a car from Tom that he absolutely loves, Tom is very easy to work with and very understandable when dealing with tiny repairs that need fixing.
