We recently stopped by Carma automotive group looking for a replacement vehicle and met another Hoosier from Indiana (Steve) who helped us look at some of the amazing vehicles he has there.This was one of the best car buying experiences i have ever had in my life. His no pressure style and wonderful helpful attitude made my wife and i feel like we had known him our whole life. He truly is a man of his word and helped us in obtaining all our title paperwork, spare key and even did a minor repair he said he would. Without a doubt this is where we will go when we buy our next vehicle. God bless you steve and thanks again for your excellent service.

So I just bought my second truck from Steve here it carma. Working with him not only this time, but last time as well, was not your typical car buying experience. He made the process not only easy, but for the most part enjoyable. You’ll never find an easier place an man so eager to make it work for you then you will hear. I would give this guy 10 stars if I could. I will definitely continue doing business with him in the future and recommend that you do as well if you have not yet. All in all 10 out of 10 across-the-board! Thanks a lot Steve!

Waited around for over a 2 weeks for some numbers on my trade from steve before I made the 3 hour drive to them. Only time I heard anything was when I called and was told he would get me some info asap. I never received anything. The truck I was interested in sold before hearing back from him. Thanks Carma for the good customer service. Sellers market or not customer service goes a long way. 2 stars for at least answering the phone and being polite.

Great selection of vehicles and good, honest, upfront pricing. All (very reasonable) fees disclosed upfront, no outrageous hidden fees like other dealerships. Very happy with my new car.

I stopped to look at a 2012 Jeep Wrangler unlimited, I spoke to the owner Nile and he asked if I was using a trade in which I was and he told me he wanted to do a straight trade with me and I can save on sales tax by doing. I thought it was a fair deal but after test driving it I noticed the check engine light was on, the tire sensor was on and the seat belt beeps even when all seat belts were in. And one of the tires has a sidewall plug. So I mentioned these issues to him. He told me he would call me the next day after taking care of these issues. He never called back so I called them and a gentleman named Steve said they want me to add $2,500 on top of the trade. Please be very careful dealing with these guys. Their word is worth nothing. Lies, lies, lies.

We bought a used 2008 Sport Trac from them about 10 months ago for $8,000. Found out 5 months later that it has a bad transmission and a bad engine. The truck wasnt worth the $3,500 it would cost to fix these issues.Whether it was malice or incompetence, I cant say. But I dont trust these guys. Buy at your own risk.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Came in looking for a reliable affordable car but didnt NEED to buy. He let me test drive a few things no pressuring sales was honest about the cars and I drove off the lot in a great car drove it all the way back to NC a few days later with Absolutely no trouble! When im back in Florida I will Absolutely stop by again even if I dont necessarily need a vehicle just for the chance at great deal!

Nile was the person who sold the car to my sister. After getting it insured and withdrawing money from her bank account I drove her to pick up the 2007 Ford Focus. When she entered the office to see Nile she came out less than a minute later dumbfounded telling me he sold it to someone else for a higher price. Not sure if true or not but this is no way to run a business. If he can do it to my sister he can do it to you. Do yourself and family a favor and take your business elsewhere as this man doesn’t deserve it. I did and now thankfully, my sister is much happier driving a better car which she bought from REPUTABLE dealer.

My husband found a car from their website, so he emailed them to see if it was available and it was. We live in Tampa and it was 1 hour and 35 minute drive for us. Steve said he would hold the car for us. We get there and sure enough the car is up front ready for us to test drive. Steve and the other employees are so nice and friendly they made that long drive worth it. The process was smooth and easy. I highly recommend getting a car from them. We would even go back there in the future!

Man is this the best place to get a quality used car! I purchased an 04 lexus about 3 weeks ago and it runs like it just came out of the factory. I came from Pennsylvania to get this beauty and the drive back felt like I was in a private plane...so smooth and full of luxury. Id like to thank Steve for his honesty and integrity I truly appreciate you selling me a reliable and affordable car. I highly recommend Carma Auto for a 5 star used car!!

Steve sold me a 4 wheel drive 2002 Mazda Tribute with different size tires, that destroyed the transmission and differential. Have had it 4 months, and now it will cost 5 thousand to fix. Screwed me over. Be careful what you buy from these lying sacks

Just recently bought a car from Carma, and I could not be happier with my experience. The owner Steve is a very honest and genuine man who helped me get into something that I really liked. The car runs great and I will most likely be doing business with them again.

All of the staff here is very friendly and accommodating. Steve pointed me in the right direction of where to apply for a loan and was patient with me as I went through the process. He also made sure the car was clean when I was ready to take it home. I definitely recommend Carma Automotive Group!

Terrible dealership! BUYER BEWARE! Read this before you purchase!I purchased a vehicle AS IS. My salesmen, Steve Berhalter assuredmy wife and I the vehicle had NEVER BEEN WRECKED. This was NOT TRUE! Attached are pictures of the vehicle condition when Carma Auto purchased it and prior to selling it to me. This information waswithheld when we asked our salesman.Ive since learned the Florida AS IS clause allows the salesman toknowingly withhold information about the car.A local Chrysler dealer has deemed my car as UNSAFE for passengersand a cost to correct over $8000.For now our salesman and Carma Auto can hide behind AS IS. Therewill come a judgement day when hiding wont be possible!Bottom line: MAKE SURE TO GET ALL YOUR QUESTIONS DOCUMENTED AND BUY FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER! THIS IS A BAD DEALERSHIP!!!

Needed to trade my Mustang for a more appropriate car for my business and family. Was super frustrated with typical car dealers games and high dealer fees and low estimates for my trade. Met Steve and he not only gave me fair value for my car but got me into a loaded 2016 Malibu at a very reasonable price. Best yet the experience was fun and enjoyable and I would highly encourage anyone looking for a used vehicle to give Steve and Carma Automotive in Englewood a chance at your business.

Had a wonderful experience with Steve. Drove nearly an hour and a half to get to his place and found the car exactly as advertised. Well worth the drive. He was pleasant and professional. He even knocked the price down a little just to round out the numbers! Would go back for a second car without hesitation.

Steve was a pleasure to work with.Provided me with all the vehicle information, with the carfax. Showed me kelly blue book values. He did not pressure me to buy. He just gave me all the information, and answered all my questions. It was a great experience and he gave me a great deal on my vehicle.

Carma is the place I would refer anyone to for a QUALITY used vehicle! Nile, Steve, and John were extremely professional and they really went above and beyond to get me the car that best fit my needs and budget!They openly listened to me, and didnt try to oversell me on a more expensive car. This was the 3rd used car dealer that I visited and I was so thankful to find them!As a female, I was having a difficult time with other dealers trying to upsell me, pressure me, and place me into a car payment that I simply could not afford. I knew there was a better place out there if I kept looking...and this was it!They keep their word and are very honest. I am so grateful and happy with my new used car!Awesome low miles and very clean and well maintained.Thanks guys! :)

Found about this dealer from car guru when I seen the 1995 Blue Mustang GT I fell in love with. I contacted the dealer via email and Steve responded to me pretty quick. Then I followed up with a phone call. Steve was a very pleasant man to deal with. He was straight up with a over the phone deal. My wife and I then decided to take the 60 mile drive to the dealer with out hesitation. Once we arrived Steve was greeting us and the Blue Mustang was sitting out front waiting for me to drive it. The whole process was amazing and would definitely recommend this dealer to friends and family. Thanks again Steve for the great car!

I bought a 24 year old Nissan over the phone from Steve. He held it for several weeks for me until I could pick it up. The car was exactly as advertised, the sale was effortless, and I drove it home, 1100 miles, with no issues. Still loving the car and thankful for the experience.

Bought a car with a rolled back odometer that I was never told about, found out the car has 3x actual mileage... AVOID THIS PLACE!!Update: Confronted the owner, owner was very aggressive with answering simple questions and he was just trying to prove he bought the car like that by printing out a carfax proving himself guilty showing the date he bought the car and right after he bought it the mileage magically changed.

Back in 2017 I was in need of a good used car wthin my budget with low mileage. I was about to give up when I came across Carma Automotive Group & Steve! He not only helped with some in-house financing but got me financing within my budget! I bought a 2002 Mercury which is still under 60,000 miles! Dont let this used car dealer pass you by! Thanks Steve!!!
