Rivard Buick GMC - Tampa, Florida

Best car buying experience I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Barry who instantly welcomed us and made the whole process smooth. He listened to everything I wanted and what I wouldn’t budge on with my new purchase. He got me right in for a test drive and my new car was delivered to the lot the next day. Communication was kept up through the entire process and I was never stuck waiting or wondering what was going on. I’m super excited for my new car and very grateful Barry was the one who went through the whole deal with us. Thank you, Barry!

Very disappointed! I waisted all day at this dealership. Valden was our sales person. We were purchasing a used car (2022 Yukon) and trading ours in (a 2020 Yukon). We drove 1.5 hrs to the dealership. We arrived around 1PM. We had a agreed prices before driving and as long as our vehicle was not mis represented we had a deal. KBB trade in for my car and the asking price for their car. (as long as it was not mis represented) Pretty simple deal. Unfortunately that is not how things went. Valden did not tell me the vehicle we were purchasing had been damaged in the front end and after inspection was misrepresented in their ad. Missing options like sunroof and other things they claimed were on the vehicle as per the ad. Never the less we were still interested in buying it but Valden had other plans. He started helping another person that just showed up? Now its 4PM He said he would be back in 5 min but after an 1 hr NO Valden. After sitting there for about an hour, We went out for some food and came back. No Valden still at 6:30. I Had him paged and finally at 7 pm he shows up. Still trying to buy the vehicle he decides to renegotiate the deal saying my vehicle is all of the sudden worth less bringing a quote from CARMAX . During the 6 hrs we sat there they never even looked at my car yet! (a 2020 yukon with a clean carfax.) At 7PM he told me to go to CARMAX to get a price on my car! Frustrated, At 7:30 we left without buying the car. I asked to speak with the sales manager several times and also asked to talk to the finance officer several times .. NO! you can only talk with Valden. So many things went wrong with Valden it was almost funny. From financing to communication and him being untruthful. The time I spent with Valden was exactly the way bad salesmen act. Everything Valden told me on the phone and in emails was not honored. This was a huge waste of time.

I had the most amazing experience at Rivard Buick. I had the pleasure of working with Jim. I loved and appreciated his transparency, as well as how effectively he communicated with me and my husband. I never felt pressured after leaving and going to look somewhere else on my initial visit. When I came back the next day, Jim assisted us the same way he did the first time. I cannot say enough great things about my entire experience. Although it was a rainy day, my 2025 Buick Envista ST shined brightly! I would definitely purchase from them again.

My 1st time buying a new vehicle and working with Jarrett was absolutely incredible!

I flew in from NC to pickup a Yukon and he went out of his way to even pick me up from the airport after hours. He was also very helpful and knowledgeable during the entire process of signing the paperwork electronically.

Definitely would travel out of state again for such a surprisingly pleasant experience! 10/10

Best car buying experience I have had in my entire life. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. My salesman Jose Wingo is by far the best guy in the business. I live 3 hours away and this entire deal was conducted over the phone. Jose made everything very clear and worked with me to get to a price that fit my budget. The finance team was also incredible. Big thanks to Victoria and Sean Bone. Everyone worked together to make this a seamless process from start to finish. Thank you Rivard GMC! If you are looking for a car or truck this is the place to go!! Make sure you ask for Jose!!

This hands down was the best experience from start to finish I’ve ever had buying a new vehicle! Valden was wonderful and so helpful! Having him as your sales manager and finance manager was so nice not jumping from person to person and made the experience so much better! We will def be repeat customers in the future! Thank you Valden for such a wonderful and easy experience!

Francisco was great and not pushy whatsoever. Would work with him again! He was very good at communicating with my husband and I and even keeping up distracted with great conversation as we waited for the car to be cleaned and finance. We traveled over an hour to work with Francisco and we would not again!!

I can not say enough great things about our experience at Rivard Buick GMC, our salesman Michael was incredible from start to finish. He listened to all our wants and concerns and put us at ease. He went above and beyond for us the entire time, he was FABULOUS. Usually car buying makes me want to tear my hair out, but Mr. Hughes made the experience actually enjoyable. He deserves a raise! I will absolutely be recommending him and this dealership to anyone in the market for a new car or truck. Thank you so much for everything!
