This was the third dealership we had shopped to find a great used car, and Tom's beat the others, hands down. They had a fabulous selection, agreed to fix a few minor details, and were terrific to deal with! Griffin was extremely helpful, and felt like a friend by the time we left. If you are looking for a fair price, a large selection, and a great group of guys to deal with, Tom's Auto is the place to go!

Nice people, quick financing and got a warranty on a used car which I did not expect. We had an issue with the car about a week after buying it and Dewey took car of it by working with the mechanic. Good communication after the sale as well. The car I bought is for a teenager and they had a good selection of clean used cars with good mileage.

Very satisfied! My car was recently totaled and I was having the hardest time finding a car with my credit not being the best! I tried several different places with the short amount of time I was given to find a car as I had to take my rental back. From the moment I pulled up on the lot of Toms I was immediately greeted with great customer service! Bryan helped me and understood my situation and let me test drive every car I was interested in lol he made the process super easy!
I test drove a few cars Saturday, found one I wanted we started the process, he called a few banks Monday morning and got me approved! I picked up my car Tuesday! The gentleman doing the paperwork was also very nice! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE LOOKING FOR A CAR! I will definitely go back! Affordable and great service!

My fiances car had broke down and I needed something pretty fast! We went to 4 other dealerships and this was the last place we went. Brian showed me around and looked at a few cars but I found the perfect one right away! Was very easy to work with, everything was done in under 30 mins and you really can't beat the prices at this lot! Thank you all so much! We love our new Malibu
