Ive owned my truck since day 1 from a Chevy dealer, but after 15 yrs, it was totaled in an accident. I was dreading having to go look for another vehicle, especially being a woman. My husband and I checked out some vehicles on line, made some calls, and made a list of several used cars we wanted to see, starting with Shamra in Holiday, all of the way to a used dealer in Sarasota. Fred was extremely nice, the car was as advertised, but I explained that their business was the first on our list, and I needed to go see the other vehicles on our list. Fred was very understanding, and never pressured us to stay or buy. I hadnt read their positive google reviews because I found them through another used car website, so although his kindness and honesty were appreciated, I thought it must be too good to be true. Well after a grueling day of looking at other cars that were not what was advertised, and even visiting with Auto Nation Nissan, where the car was nice, but the sales person and his boss did not want to let us out of the door and made us feel uncomfortable, we ended up back at Shamra. My husband, who has experience working on cars, thought the idle was off on the Miata I wanted. Freds mechanic was on vacation, but Fred went out of his way to address our concern. He said, he didnt want to sell us a vehicle we were not comfortable with. The engine was very clean to begin with, by the way, but he pulled out the spark plugs, and we saw that they were in excellent condition. Fred felt the issue might possibly be a valve, which was a 4 hr job to replace, minimum. In order to get the car for the price we negotiated, out the door, he said he would not be able to put the part in himself. Understandable. But he and my husband came to an agreement, and Fred bought us the part, which was just under $200, and my husband said he would put the part in himself. We were very satisfied. Between the accident and having to deal with car salesmen, I had a little anxiety when this all started. Dealing with salesmen in the past, Id get that feeling in my gut that Im settling, that somehow Im getting ripped off, or that it just didnt feel "right". I can honestly say that I never once got that feeling dealing with Fred at Shamra, and was actually smiling and happy the day I bought my car from him. This was truly the best car buying experience I have ever had and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

After driving by and see a great selection of used cars with the prices clearly labelled I stopped in and and was met by Fred the owner. I told him I was looking for a reasonably priced Volkswagen for my daughter. He asked Michael the salesperson to show me what was on their lot. They had a great selection of gently used cars in my price range. I found a beautiful 2010 Volkswagen CC with 71,000 mile for a great price. At no time was I ever pressured to buy that car. I drove it and couldnt believe what great shape it was in, inside interior and engine. Fred, Michael, George and Chad made my buying a used car very pleasurable. I have recommended several family and friends there and will definitely be buying my next car there. Since the sale a headlight blew and Fred installed the new one at no charge. While he was installing it I told him about my daughter Mercedes glove box broke and asked him if he worked on Mercedes too. He said sure and if Id like to he would install it. I just got back from there and George installed it at no charge. He wouldnt take any money and said I was a valued customer and thanked me for my business. For all the people out there looking for a great selection of reasonably priced used vehicles go here and see Fred and the guys, they will definitely take care of you!!

We recently bought our daughters first car and this is definitely the place to go if you are looking for a nice clean used car. Jack was awesome and helped us find the right car, a beautiful 2006 BMW at a very fair price. Our daughter couldnt be happier, all her friends ask where she got such a nice car. We had a minor issue with coolant leaking a few weeks after we got the car and since they have a mechanic there who works on BMWs, we took it in. They were happy to fix it and only charged us for the parts, no labor charge. This says alot about the kind of business they run! We had shopped around at several other places and no place compared to the quality of cars or the service we received from Shamra. Fred and George were also very nice and helpful. Definitely will deal with them again in the future.

I couldnt be happier with my experience at Shamra Auto. The owner came in on a Sunday to show me the car, which was the only day I had available. They are typically closed on Sunday but he went out of his way to accommodate me. He was extremely honest with us about the vehicle and worked with me as much as he could on the price. I am extremely satisfied with the car and will definitely be doing business with them in the future. This was easily the best buying experience Ive ever had. I would strongly encourage anyone in the market for a quality pre-owned vehicle to swing by Shamra Auto. I am certainly glad I did.

I rarely give a 5 star rating but Shamra Auto Sales has definitely earned it! My wife and I were greeted with smiles from every member of the staff. We had been searching days for a vehicle but Shamra Auto Sales was our last and best stop. We found the exact vehicle we wanted at a great price and couldnt be more pleased. This family run business creates a friendly atmosphere and their honesty and integrity will ensure that we return. We have finally found a dealer we can trust! Thank you Shamra Auto Sales!

I have to write a good review for you guys, because you guys were excellent, and I feel so lucky that God somehow brought us to your dealership. I had wanted to own a Beetle for a very long time, but never did I think that on our vacation my fiance would buy me one. I am more in love with my VW Beetle (AKA turbo bug in our family ) now than when I first saw it on your lot. Thank you so much for making this possible for me, and for being so fair with the price and kind treatment!
