I just want to thank Bayside Automall for a completely new and wonderful vehicle buying experience. Jeff has a great idea that if he offers quality merchandise and outstanding service and honest sincere information, that will make people want to come back whenever they need a vehicle. I agree with Jeff's strategy in sales. I am so happy with my latest acquisition I have already decided in the future I will always check with Bayside Automall first for all my vehicle needs. I really enjoyed the whole experience and especially the way Jeff seemed as if we had been friends for a long time. He was personable and made me feel at ease. Thank you Bayside Automall and Jeff.

Honest dealer

We're in our ‘70’s, and we prefer used cars. The one we recently found online was nearly two hours away at Bayside Automall in Lakeland. The owner, Jeff Yates, knew that even if we did buy that car, he’d probably never see us again because of the distance we’d driven. Yet he and his staff treated us both with respect, which doesn’t always happen to women or elderly car shoppers. The finance package he offered my tax-preparer wife was from a bank we “out-of-towners” weren’t familiar with, but she was really pleased with how low her monthly payments are, which is what he said they’d be. In fact, that’s how the entire purchase went: that which he said would happen actually did. Might other used car dealers possibly have lower prices? Perhaps, but the better quality of what’s at Bayside Automall is obvious, as are the fair pricing for that better quality. After all, you want to be proud of both what you own and where you bought it. And indeed, we are. Jon & Mary

Bayside auto mall was the best decision we ever made. I truly had the best experience and they made everything extremely easy and simple. They worked a miracle for me and my family.

First time car buyer. I went to this place based on reviews, after making no progress with dealerships. I have very poor credit and not a lot to work with, but Jeff helped to get me into the car that I was most interested in on the lot, and at a great deal for me ('18 Sportage). He did all of the paperwork, including swapping my tag and helped change my insurance. Plus, in a total of two trips (info gathering and final signing) I probably spent a total of two hours on the lot. Recommended for sure. Very clean and professional. Thanks again.

The BEST car buying experience we have EVER had! Outstanding customer service from start to finish. They really care about getting you the best deal possible and getting you into a good reliable car. This is definitely the place we will be coming back to for our next car!! Thank you very much Jeff!!!

I had a great experience purchasing my vehicle here. Russell was very helpful, worked hard to meet my needs, terms and conditions. Upon leaving, I noticed the air conditioning wasn't working properly. When I brought the car back, it was determined it needed a new part. The owner replaced the part and got the air working perfectly. (Even though the warranty didn't cover it, there was no charge to me) They really stand behind their products, and provide outstanding customer service!

Clean low mileage cars with extended warranties, all along with a Clean office to get the paperwork done. Thank you for helping my significant other find a reliable car within the desired budget

Google user

Ended up not buying from them but it was due to finding the truck I wanted elsewhere. Jeff was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to get me a good deal on what he had to offer and even helped me through my transaction at another dealer to make sure I didn’t get screwed over. Grade A customer service!

I would definitely recommend this car dealer! Very helpful and such a great salesman! Thank you Russ for such a great car buying experience!

I feel compelled to write a 5 star review of Bayside Automall. I bought a 2013 Hyundai Accent from there on May 19th. Perfect car. Low miles, mechanically sound, visually appealing. Jeff worked hard to make the deal happen as I have less than perfect credit. On July 19th, my car was involved in an accident and classified as a total loss. I contacted Jeff right away and he helped me every step of the way in terms of cancelling my after market warranty and using gap protection. Russell helped me with cancelling of auto insurance too due to the loss. I cannot express the amount of gratitude that I have for Bayside. They are a small business and truly value their customers. Jeff is super knowledgeable and he takes pride in the vehicles that he sells. I cannot wait to make my next car purchase from them! Support a great small business!

Went to Bayside today with no expectations after dealing with an awful by here pay here dealer. Spoke with Jeff and was very happy with the dealer, I test drove a Chevy Cobalt, didn't end up buying yet, but I plan on purchasing a car from them in the next several months. They have quite a few options for those with less than perfect credit, including a buy here pay here program on some of the lower priced cars that isn't a rip off and the cars aren't ready for the junkyard. You can tell immediately that they have the customer's best interests in mind and they are very low pressure and easy to talk to. Their cars are clean, many are nearly new and they are competitively priced with what you will find throughout Lakeland. I definitely recommend checking them out.

Jeff and his staff is very professional and excellent customer service. When I tell you if you want a reliable, affordable, dependable and wonderful experience this is the place to visit.

TRY BAYSIDE AUTOMALL YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

I had a great experience here. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The owner, Jeff, was very patient and took his time showing us different vehicles and letting us drive them around. He followed up via phone, and the communication was always polite and timely. Even though I ended up purchasing a car somewhere else, I would highly recommend this dealership. Straight shooter. No bs. And he includes a full tank of gas and limited warranty standard with every vehicle.

Jeff the dealer at this place was very nice and helpful. He assisted me with filing out my form for car to be registered in FL from CT, he also assisted me with questions regarding trade-ins and gave me pricing on new vehicles. I will be coming back to him very soon to purchase my daughter's vehicle & possibly trading in my vehicle for a new one.

These guys where do I begin, Jeff the owner nice guy for a boss role. How many of us can say we have nice bosses? Not many but this guy definitely lets his actions speak for him. James Finance manager also dude who sold me my car. Great personality, went through the process with me of buying my car for about two weeks, never rushed me, didn’t get rid of my car and gave me a unavailable deal so everyone I tell about my car says, not just me. The other twos guys working there, another sales man and detail man also great interaction guys. All around great environment and unavailable deals especially those with bad credit, repo, low down payment and looking for more than expected.

Facebook review

After looking from Tampa to Clermont and being discouraged by add on fees and shady sales tactics, a friend suggested we visit Bayside.
We met with Jeff and James who found the perfect car that was within our budget. No pressure, no stress, most importantly, no nonsense.
My husband and I were very pleased with our buying experience and plan on making them our first stop from now on.

Google and Facebook review

Came in spoke to James had a great time talking to them, told them what I was looking for as far as car type, payments and what I like. And we looked at some great cars. Ended up getting a car they suggested and am very happy with it. They did everything a company can do to make the deal work for me. A big thank you to James and Jeff there at Bayside for there time and effort to do everything they did.

I first came to Bayside Automall in November and they got me approved for a great car with great payments. Unfortunately, the timing was not good for me so I had to walk away. I recently came back and got a great car with payments where I need them. I have poor credit and was really happy I didn't have to go to a buy here pay here. They are really friendly and take the time with you that you need. The transaction was quick and straightforward. I would definitely go back when I need a car again.

This place is the best experience I have had. Not only did they get me the car I wanted they word hard to get me the best deal. I would highly recommend Bayside Auto Mall to anyone who is in need of wants a new car. Thank you for all you hard work. I love my new car.

EXCELLENT!!! What a great bunch of people. Russell and Jeff were awesome to deal with...If you hate the typical sales man approach then go here. I absolutely hate car shopping; however, this was like dealing with old friends. No BS!!! They had the car I always wanted a 350z plus it was convertible. I never dreamed I'd be driving it home that night with a full tank of gas!!! Thanks guys!!!

Great service and great deals! Even came to my house to see if anything was wrong with my car and it was just tire pressure! Jeff is an awesome dealer!

Excellent group of guys Russel goes above and beyond to get customers what they need excellent place of management I'd recommended this place to anybody greatest service I've ever seen or dealt with..

Great experience. Went to a few dealerships prior to coming to bayside. I was either turned away or told I had to put at least 40 percent down for the car. Within 30 minutes or less bayside approved us for a newer car at a very low down payment with monthly payments in the 200s. I will refer any and everyone to bayside.

Awesome folks, easy transaction, great selection!!! Double triple recommend!!!!!

The best car buying experience EVER!!!! I went into FIVE different dealerships and felt so pressured into purchasing a vehicle that did not suit my needs due to my horrible credit! But Jeff came to the rescue and did everything he could to get us into a vehicle for a family of five with the lowest price in town and something we are completely HAPPY with . Not only that, he even picked me up in my new car as I was returning my rental. Talking about above and beyond! This by far has been the best experience we've had and we will be returning to Jeff when we need another vehicle for our teenager. You won't be disappointed!!! Thanks Jeff!!!!

This was my first car purchase, and I loved how completely honest Jeff was about the car I was interested in along with the other cars I had interest in. Jeff made process of purchasing my first car go very smoothly and any questions I had being a new buyer he didn't hesitate to educate me with his answers. I recommend all buyers looking to purchase a car in the area stop by, I promise you wont regret it.

OMG! Let me just say that was the most pleasant car buying experience I ever had. Russell thank you so much for helping me get into a car. You and Jeff are awesome guys....I wish I had known about y'all years ago... I love my new sporty little car. Thanks again. You guys rock!

This was my first car purchase and I won't go anywhere else! Bayside was incredible at working with my situation and treating me like a person and not a dollar amount. They were very understanding and worked out a deal that fit my life and financial ability. Great car, great experience, great people. Will definitely be returning and already sending family over there!

Great service! Russell worked diligently to get me into what i wanted for the best deal. You can tell these guys care about their customers.

Best car purchase experience ever. They were friendly and willing to work with me and my situation. Great place and great people I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Easy, Fast and Friendly!!!! This is by far the best auto dealership I have ever been to!!! Forget about the hassel and haggling!!!

Have any doubts? Give Jeff a call, and see for yourself!

Absolutely the best place I have ever been to!!! When you have heard, "No" at all the other places, Jeff says, "Yes"! Thank you, to everyone at Bayside Automall!

  • Had an awesome experience at Bayside Auto Mall not like some other dealers in town thank you Jeff and Russell

My boyfriend recently bought a car from Russell, it was such a great buying experience. My next car with without a doubt will be from Bayside Automall!

Makes car buying easy cars.com

My wife and I went down to look at a car we found at Bayside Auto mall on cars.com , Mark helped us and arranged for us to drive the car, we liked it and decided to buy it, because they price was right and the car had lot's of bells and whistles for the asking price. Jeff and Mark breezed us through the buying process and we were on our way home with our purchase in less than 2 hours from the time we had gotten there including putting air in the tires, test drive, and all the paper work that goes along with buying a car. For painless car buying go see Jeff and Mark at Bayside Auto mall in Lakeland, Florida.

The guys at Bayside are fantastic cars.com

Just got our 2007 SRX and Mark,Jeff and everyone at Bayside Automall are the best in the used car business. Highly professional and the cars and deals are excellent. You better believe my next car will be from Bayside Automall.

I had a great experience at Bayside Automall , Mark & Jeff gave me a great deal on a used car, and I got it in the same day with no long wait. Thanks again for a great service.

Absolutely fantastic staff. Great deals! If anyone has not so great credit they have the ability to help.

Jeff, the owner, is honest and really knows the car business. His understanding of finance is second to none. I would recommend Bayside to anyone looking for a great deal or anyone that needs help getting a loan

cars.com Great Car Buying Experience!

AMAZING! I got a great car in my budget and had the best experience! They work with you and get you the car you want, I will buy my next car there!

While the facilities aren't flashy, the way Russell and Jeff work with their customers is. They worked almost a week trying to find financing and payments that would work with my credit and budget. I recommend them to everyone.

11/13/15 Wife and I bought a 2012 used Buick Regal, with only 8400 est. miles, and with warranty. I right this a few days later feeling just as happy with our purchase as the day we bought it. With $500 down this dealership was very good at getting us multiple fair qoutes for our situation. Was able to take vehicle home same day. If you don't start here at least give them a try, you'll probably end you vehicle search here with no buyers remorse.

Oddly enough, the fact that I had longed for a Cadillac CTS or XTS for quite some time had barely crossed my mind when I strolled on to the lot in the market for a used car. I suppose that dream seemed too far fetched, and I was in need of something that I could realistically afford. They had a lot full of sharp looking vehicles, and I quickly zeroed in on one that seemed practical and possibly affordable. Russell met me at the window as I peered in at the interior. After exchanging pleasantries, I asked about the price... Wow, it was even less than I thought. Kicking some more tires while quizzing Russell on the numbers, I quickly caught on to their game: They simply stock fantastic cars and put great prices on them! My attention turned to something that caught my eye upon my arrival to the lot... A 2007 Cadillac CTS in Blue Chip with only 70k on the odometer! With Russell in tow, I made a bee line for the car. When he gave me the numbers on this beauty, my reaction was a wha, wha, whaaat? There must be something wrong with this car! He assured me it had a clean CarFax (happily produced upon request) and that their mechanic cleared it. Well, just to be sure, I took it to my own trusted mechanic around the corner where they jacked it up, plugged it in, and went over it with a fine toothed comb. Even they could not believe the exceptional condition of this car! Ladies and gentlemen, the car is cherry, the price was a steal, the customer service was fantastic... My name is Walt Cannoy, I'm a woodworker from Lakeland, Florida. Bayside AutoMall put me in the car of my dreams!

 Mark and Jeff took good care of me, got my car in 1 day, was able to get a credit approval that same day. I would recommend anyone to see them. I had such a great experience. Thanks guys for helping me out.
