Dealership of the Month: Florida Auto Brokers

“We like to give our customers personal, friendly service. You’re not going to fall through the cracks, and you’re not going to be bugged either,” says Nick Schmidt. “There are no highpressure sales here.”

Just because Florida Auto Brokers is a small, laid-back dealership does not mean it is small on variety. In fact, Florida Auto Brokers has the largest selection of high-line cars in Gainesville and offers a wide variety of other vehicles, from minivans to SUVs to Porches, BMWs and Mercedes Benz. The dealership buys cars from manufacturers all over the country, proving that it’ll go anywhere to get customers the exact cars they want at the lowest prices.

“Our goal is to please the customer and to get them the best deal possible,” Nick Schmidt said.

The cars aren’t the only out-of-town visitors on the dealership’s lot. Florida Auto Brokers’ prices are so low that 90 percent of its customers come from cities outside Gainesville, including Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa. Nick Schmidt and Kevin Bell have sold cars to customers from Seattle, New York, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, Minnesota and California as well as many other car dealerships.

But car buyers don’t have to leave town or cross borders to tour the dealership’s lot or make a purchase. They can  visit www.floridaautobrokers.net,Florida Auto Brokers’ full-service Web site. It’s updated weekly with the dealership’s entire inventory and provides a car-finding service, financing application, tradein appraisal and a warranty information. Many car buyers make deals and handle paperwork online before ever stepping foot onto the dealership.
