Total False Advertising Scumbags! Their website has under "Available Inventory" 12 Yukon's. Apparently, they do not understand the definition of Inventory. I inquire and they say their website is controlled by GMC Corporate and these are Yukon's that are sold but not delivered or some BS story, but they can order me a 2023 soon. These SB card dealers took Millions of PPP funds, while making double the normal profit. All I can hope is $5 Fuel, Rising Rates, Inflation puts a hurting on them. Going to try report them to some Tampa Bay Media Consumer Affairs about the false advertising.

At Rivard Buick GMC, we had a no pressure car buying experience. Our sales associate Jordan was energetic, positive, confident & knowledgable. We felt relaxed and listened to during our purchase experience. On a side note.our 9 year old son LOVED thier Docusign table and is scheming for a way to obtain one for himself. LOL

Had the best experience at this dealership all thanks to Michael C! This was my first time purchasing a car by myself and he made the buying process such a breeze and anytime I would have a question he would go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect! He was open and honest about everything and didn't sugarcoat anything like other dealerships do! Thank you so much Michael and the young lady's at the front for being so kind and making this first time experience so amazing for me! Michael IS the main reason I decided to buy my car from Rivard! Great sales person and really makes you feel like you're buying a car from a friend! Thanks so much Michael!

I had a great experience working with ALEX IN SERVICE. I am a mechanical claims adjuster. No I'm not the guy calling about your cars extended warranty. Really, I work as an insurance adjuster and a Customers Advocate. After working with Alex, I will be the first to tell you these folks are on par with the best shops! Alex was super friendly and tended to our customers needs in a timely fashion. He got me all the info needed to fund our mutual customer's repair funded quickly and accurately. I would recommend these folks!

I am from Orlando, so I shopped for a Buick in my area. With this in mind, in Orlando, some dealers were adding thousands to the price of a new car. After searching in Orlando with no success, I searched online and found Rivard Buick in Brandon. After searching their website, I worked with Rick L in sales. Rick was outstanding! He was truthful (biggie for a car salesperson), sincere, and diligent.
After a few texts and chats, I got the car I wanted. Additionally, I had no bump up stickers, no last-minute surprises, and I got the vehicle I wanted at a discounted price. This is how car buying should be. Thanks Rick and Rivard Buick for making buying a car a pleasurable experience.

Shout out to Carlos at Rivard for letting me snatch this 2021 Challenger. Carlos answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner and made this online shopping experience quick and easy.

I just purchased a new truck and they do have great discounts. I did all of my communication with the salesman over the phone, I did not go to the dealership. The salesman I was in contact with was Bobby. Although I ended up getting what I wanted, it seemed as if he couldn't care less if he made the sale and I was not impressed with the way he communicated with me or my father. Other than that, I had a good experience and I got the vehicle that I wanted at a good price considering the economy at the moment.
