Tillman Auto
We provide a variety of financing options to make sure that you can get the car of your dreams. This was my first time buying a car and I went to 4 different car dealerships and this was the only place that worked with us to get approved and get a car. Sam Bawli was super helpful, very understanding, answered all questions and helped us out a great deal.

Jennifer was also super helpful and sweet. Very nice, welcoming & friendly environment. Would definitely recommend. Thank you guys! Amazing salesman Hunter Ray had me in car i wanted and needed within an hour. Honest courteous with no run around. Thank you so much for doing in one hour what Beach Blvd Automotive could not do in 7 days with me begging and chasing them!

You guys are the best! Martin Mills at Tillman Auto has truly taken care of us and helped us every step of the way to get our dream car! No review can express how thankful we are for the whole team at Tillman Auto! If you're looking for a great deal and an honest dealer come to Tillman Auto and ask for Martin!

I searched for a decent used commercial vehicle through car fax. Once at the dealer I met Martin Mills and he assisted with my first commercial purchase. I was very pleased with his service.

I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so impressed with the customer service I received from Zach at Tillman Auto. He wasn't pushy, super friendly, and treated me completely different than the last 4 places we went to and I thought I'd let people know that look at these sites that this is the Guy to ask for if you are looking for a vehicle. Best experience ever!

Gary Garcia was the absolute BEST salesman I have ever dealt with in all of my car shopping experiences! The information provided by the dealership was honest and complete on the truck we purchased, and the price was very fair and reasonable. Thanks to Gary, the buying experience was smooth, quick and efficient! We would DEFINITELY do business with Tillman, and of course request Gary, in the future.

Love this place. Mr. Tillman treated us like family. Told us straight up which car was their best on the lot. Not pushy but down to earth. Be sure to see Martin Mills because he will help you find THE BEST interest rate available. Best dealership in Jacksonville!!

I’ve gone to several dealerships in the Jacksonville area the last couple years. They literally all told me no almost right off the bat. Shotgunning my credit! Tillman auto absolutely worked with me and got in the payment range I really wanted! Got this gem for a super good deal! Martin and Mr. Tillman treated me like family. Didn’t beat around the bush. We’re honest every step of the way! ABSOLUTLEY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS!

Bought a vehicle there recently just for AC to go out 1st day, Front shock was bad, car had no alignment as well as unbalanced wheel which is a safety issue, and they erased the SES code that was on the vehicle for cat converters. Really sad.

So initially my interaction was very pleasant, especially considering that I have not now nor do I believe I will ever enjoy purchasing a vehicle from a dealership. The vehicle I looked at was price well until I got there and began looking at it. This vehicle needed MAJOR repairs (I understand some for a 20 year old vehicle) but this one had brakes that were not functioning properly, the rear end was whining and needed to be rebuilt, and there was a significant amount of rust in the sunroof frame. All fixable however, when it came time to close the deal the price went from $3500 to $4600!!!!! The

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!!! TOTAL SCAM!!!!

This will be long, but please read because this is SO very important for anyone considering buying a car from this place.

My car was to totaled and I needed a car ASAP. Found my perfect car online at Tillman. It was priced at approx. 11.8k. I went through a divorce and my credit score is poor as a result, and so my mother who has a very high credit score and excellent credit history for over 50 years was co-signing. We have done this before in the past and with me on the application, it does increase the interest rate from what it would be if just her on

I bought my SUV from here last October. They told me one price in the beginning and tgen when I signed the papers the price went up by $2000. They said the price they gave me at first was the internet price when you buy it outright. The TPMS light was on and dual temperature controls had something wrong w it. They assured me they would fix it and I have contacted them several times... It still has not been fixed. I just keep being told someone will call me back. It's been almost 6 months. Don't trust this dealership or anything they tell you!

Unable to assist after the sale. 5th time I am dealing with the ac not working and was told they could not help. Had a new unit put in last year and now they want to charge 129 just to look at my car. It is the same issue that I brought in 4 times before.

Warning- Do not use this dealership. We dealt with Jon Cook who had us apply for a car that they had already sold. Customer Service was the WORST told us they sent information to the bank and were waiting on feedback, they never submitted to the bank but the dealership still pulled my credit despite knowing they were in middle of closing with somewhere else on the car. Kept leading us on saying we were in the process of buying car despite knowing they were doing nothing as car was already sold. 24 hrs later we find out pulled credit for no reason, wasted our time and a hit on credit.

I am so thankful to Steve, Nick and Raul from Tillman Auto. When I visit the dealer for the first time I knew my situation was a little difficult. Not the best credit score, specific requirements like it needed to be a minivan or a car with a third row, and an affordable payment. I couldn't buy the minivan I wanted, so Steve loaned me a for a month until they were able to find a car with the same mileage, and conditions than the previous one. I was able to go to work and I even got a better deal than the original. They worked with me and were very patience with my situations. I go there and

Found this great car dealership through car guru looking for a specific vehicle. Sure enough, Chad was able to work out an excellent deal on an excellent car and we drove it home that day. Stop by and check them out. The sales guys are very laid back and easy to work with.

Great place to buy a pre-owned car. Tillman is a mom-and-pop style roadside dealership operating out of an office trailer on a dirt lot. Everyone is friendly and accommodating; Nick was great in helping us through the process. They have a wide range of vehicles, prices and model years so there is something for everyone! We went to Tillman for a vehicle we saw on the website, but bought a completely different car that was perfect for our needs. It had some minor issues, but Tillman took care of our requests prior to taking delivery of the car. I would recommend shopping at Tillman.

I highly recommend Tillman Auto. I bought a used car from them last year and it is still going strong. Their after-sales care is second to none and the staff go out of their way to help you. Their prices are realistic and the used cars they sell are reliable. They have an on-site maintenance garage to fix anything that goes wrong with your car at a fraction of the price of other mechanics. My last repair was actually completely free as the part had a 3 year warranty when last fitted. The best used car dealer I have ever used, and I have used many in the past!

Tillman Automotive has been calling me and leaving me rude voicemails for over a month now for the simple fact that I won't return their call and tell them I don't want them to bug me.

I have never seen such poor customer service from a company, and to make matters worse they just want to prove a point...and that point is that they will bug me until I tell them to stop. Absolutely ridiculous!!

I went to several dealerships before going to Tillmans and then went online to read reviews on google and found that Tillmans reviews were the best.

I purchased a Chevy trailblazer and it was the smoothest transaction ever.

No typical salesman pressure...my salesman is Nick....he was even willing to take me home to drop off my moms car so I could drive my new vehicle home.

I highly recommend Tillmans automotive

A diamond in the rough !! It is a used car dealership - not a brand new. My husband and I drove from savannah to see one of the steal deals they offered ....You pull in and may think it's nothing special but they have a great assortment to look at old and newer . My rating is not based on appearance or what cars I wasn't interested in - I went to look at a car they had and was greeted by nick . The car I went to see was newly listed and they agreed it was posted too soon and needed more work done to it that they wanted to do . With questions arising , Steve (the owner) came out and dropped

I wish I could rate Tillman Auto ZERO stars. This place is a joke. The employees just don't care and the vehicles are junk. Drove almost 400 miles based on their word. Well, their word is worthless. They completely misrepresented the car. I guess they were hoping I would just show up, pay, load the car on the trailer and leave. I'm smarter than that. The car had engine noise AND a bad transmission. The employees just didn't care at all.

Avoid this place like the plague!!
