To Skip and Gloria (Autosports),

     I wanted to say first off that I love my 2007 Pontiac Torrent, it was exactly how it was presented online and even more beautiful when I pulled up to Autosports. My whole purchasing exp. was smooth and professional with Skip and Gloria, their dealership is very clean, legit, classy, and in a very nice setting, they gave me VIP treatment! I will not only be going back for my next vehicle in the future, but have also spread the word to family and friends to go to Autosports for their vehicle needs. Skip took care of a few things as promised when I purchased my vehicle and did so in a timely manner with no confusion or inconvenience to me. Thank you Skip, Gloria, and Autosports for my awesome SUV! If you are looking for a dependable, clean vehicle with low miles then go to Autosports of Daytona, you will leave happy!

 Hi, my name is Michael and I’m from Port St. Lucie.  I think car buyers need to know how hard it is to trust a car salesman...I used to be one!  I have found that If you’re upfront with people, it makes things a lot easier.  I did something I’ve never done before in my life….I payed for a car BEFORE I DROVE IT….AND BEFORE I PHYSICALLY SAW IT!!  I was 120 miles away from the dealership and I was not nervous at all, just excited.  I knew just from talking to Skip on the phone he was honest and truthful, and I was not disappointed in the slightest.  The car was exactly as described by him.  I will always get my Corvette’s from Skip and I would buy my daughters’ car from him, sight unseen also!  Thank you again, Skip and hope to see you soon.  Anyone wishing to talk to me can get my email address from Skip at the dealership.

I just moved to Florida from California with my wife and three kids. My wife sold her Expedition the day before she flew out here.  We spent almost two weeks trying to find a vehicle on a limited budget and found only junk. My dad told me to go see Skip and see what he could do for us.  Within a couple of days he found us a '98 Ford Explorer and worked a price that fit well within our budget, even at his expense.  Skip was the only honest person in all of Daytona that I talked to when looking for a car.  I would recommend anyone looking for a vehicle to see Skip.  I can guarantee that you would receive the same service and respect that was given to me and my family.  Thanks a million Skip, your one of a kind.

I greatly appreciated the relaxed and honest nature of Skip and his staff.

The recent purchase of my BMW X3 from Skip at Autosports of Daytona has been such a remarkable experience. My past purchases of vehicles always consisted of making phone call after phone call, trip after trip, and playing the so called "purchasing game", an exhausting experience. With Skip, I put 100% trust and confidence in him to find exactly what I was looking for at the best price.  This was a sight unseen for me. For someone like me, who has waited patiently for the last few years to purchase this vehicle, I truly can not be happier! The vehicle is as close to perfect as it can get. Hands down, this made the waiting process all the more worth it. Skip is honest, professional and a true pleasure to do business with. I must also say that Skip's wife, Gloria, is just as kind and professional. Like the saying goes, "behind every good man is a good woman". I recommend Skip at Autosports of Daytona to be the #1 place to do business.  You can not go wrong. Thanks Skip for adding another joy in my life!

Well Skip this is the third vehicle I have purchased from you and I couldn't be happier.

I would not consider buying a car from anybody else.

I have lived in this area for over 30 years and I do not know of anybody I trust more with used cars. Service before and after the sale.

My first experience with Skip was over 17 years ago when I walked into Autosports as a broke single Mom with a very limited amount of cash and a deep suspicion of car salesmen! Skip asked me what I wanted in a car, took into account what I had to spend, looked up what cars had been selling for in my budget, and told me what I could expect to get. He found me exactly what he promised and at the amount of money I could afford. I can still remember how pleased (and completely relieved!) I was. Gloria took care of all the paperwork and it was a virtually effortless process, enjoyable even! Needless to say, I have never looked back. I have continued to buy cars from Skip and Gloria over the years and they have become friends as well. That is the kind of people they are and I still drop in from time to time just to say “Hi” and thank them again. I am happy to say that in 17 years things have certainly improved for me financially but one thing will never change…I’ll never buy a car from anyone but Skip Hammers.

We are Americans who have been living in Germany
for the last 30 years.  Recently we bought a condominium
in Florida and of course it was then necessary to buy a car.

  Having been out of touch for so long, although we researched the web and made the usual comparisons to Kelly's Blue Book,etc., we were a bit uncertain about how
to proceed.  Fortunately we came across the webpage of Autosports of Daytona  Inc. which made a particularly positive
impression on us; so we took a look.

Skip Hammers and his wife Gloria own and run the operation.
They have an inventory ranging from compact cars of
Asian production (we bought a Nissan Versa) to high level sports cars.

  The cars are in beautiful condition and, if our research is
right, are priced  at or below anything in the general geographic area.
Skip takes care of all of the bureaucracy (registration, license, etc.)
for a very small charge.  You pay for the car and prove you have
insurance and in less than a day you have the car.  The entire
procedure of buying our car was on one hand very relaxed, but
on the other was absolutely precise, e.g., no hidden costs or
any other monkey business.

Skip found the perfect car for me, exactly what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier! I will absolutely go to no one else for my next car... Barb H, New Smyrna Beach

<sub>"I had given up on dealerships in general. One after another they try anything to "bait" you into buying something you don't even want. Often wasting your time with one lie after another until they wear you down or wear you out. Not here though. Not at AutoSports of Daytona. They were anything but typical. With an incredible staff and a detailed website, they won my business from clear across the state. I drove over 600 miles to pick up my Jeep and it shocked me to see that it looked identical to the website photos. IDENTICAL. When it was all over, I felt as if I had made friends with them. FRIENDS??!! I have never felt that after leaving a dealership before. The sale went as smoothly as possible and because of their commitment to their customer, they've won my business from here on out."

"After trying to sell my Mercury Mountineer on my own for six weeks with very little response, I consigned it over to Autosports of Daytona Inc. Within two weeks my vehicle was sold. They even handled all the paperwork. It pays to deal with professionals."

 I  sent this evaluation to AutoTraders.  Didn't know if they'd pass along the kudos, so here they are:

 I just entered the 21st century, shopping online for a vehicle.  Through Auto Traders, I found the exact Eddie Bauer Explorer I was looking for.  I also found a used car dealer like none other I've ever experienced, AutoSports of Daytona.  Skip Hammers deals only in pristine one owner vehicles.  I bought a '97 in unbelievably excellent condition and I was treated like I was buying a brand new Lamborghini.  Car shopping is not my favorite thing to do, but when it is necessary again, I will come back to AutoTrader and also will be checking with AutoSports of Daytona.  Thanks, AutoTrader for a great connection.

 Skip,

 While I was driving down Nova Road, I saw a car on the Autosports car lot that I thought I might be interested in.  I stopped in to see it.  The car was very nice, but not exactly what I was looking for.  I gave Skip and Travis the details of the car I was looking for, such as the make, model, features, and miles.  Within a few days, they found the exact car I wanted.  We came to a fair deal, and they even helped with the credit union financing.  I was very pleased with my experience...LOVE THE CAR!!!

My Testimonial to Autosports of Daytona Beach, Florida.

Skip Hammers, 02-22-2010

 I want to write this note of appreciation for all those who have felt as I did about the typical used car guy.  I really used to dread the used car lot shopping due to the typical tacticts used by most. High pressure and unethical tacticts like these just to make the sale and get you down the road.

I reside in Western N.C. and was looking for a low mileage good car and came across this 1998 Mazda Millenia with only 78,000 miles on it.

Oh no, I said when I saw where it was, Daytona Beach, Fl.  The car was really nice and the pictures on the Autotrader.com site did depict the car really well.  Reluctantly, due to the distance, I called this Auto Sports of Daytona phone #. You Skip, answered the phone and also answered all of my questions without any pressure or games. You said to me, If you want to see more pics of this car being that you are in N.C. just go to our own web page, we have a lot more pics of our cars there than Autotrader allows.  I hung up and did just that. Wow, it was like I was there, I called back and negotiated the best price, asked Skip if one of his staff could pick me up at Daytona Airport if I made the trip from Asheville, N.C. and he said that was not a problem.

When I told my wife what I was doing, she snickered and said, " You are trusting what this used car guy is telling you and going to fly one way and get picked up in Florda by someone you don't know".  When she said, I must say, I did think about it and then I said. This Skip guy seems to be trustworthy and am going to go with that and make my flight plans and go with it.  I called Skip back with my flight info. and did just what I said I would. when my flight landed in Daytona, I called Skip and he was there in minutes to pick me up. We introduced and were on our way to the dealership.

We arrived and the car was just as described and all the figures were just as negotiated, no surprises.  He made all the papers and my temp. tag to travel back to N.C.

I just received my title work and his written instuctions for the NCDMV, all went just as he said it would.

I tell you all of this because you too can feel as comfortable as I, in dealing with a total professional as Skip Hammers is.  I will reccomend all Family and Friends to Skip Hammers @ Autosports @ Daytona Beach, Fl.

In the future, when I am ready, I will e mail or call Skip to look for my next purchase.

With My Most Sincere Thanks,

 If you're looking to buy a car, I recommend that you contact Skip Hammers at Autosports of Daytona.

 I needed a new car and as a child of Chrysler dealers, I have always purchased a new Chrysler product. But due to the economy I had decided to purchase a used vehicle and was not comfortable with a used Chrysler. As a Real Estate Broker, my vehicle is very important to me so this was a business decision as well as a personal one. 

I knew that I wanted an SUV, but I wasn't sure which make and model and being inexperienced with buying a used car on the open market, I needed someone who would make a commitment to work on my behalf.

I knew that Skip Hammers, the owner of Autosports of Daytona, was in the car business but did not realize how they worked. When I contacted Skip, he spent a lot of time asking me questions and helping me decide which vehicle might meet my requirements. He explained that he had helped a mutual friend of ours and suggested that I speak to them regarding their purchase. After spending time with Skip and speaking with our mutual friend, I was confident that he and his company were the way to go.

Skip was very patient with me (I asked a lot of questions) and never seemed rushed. He attended several auctions, calling me each time to discuss the available vehicles. He did not rush me and helped me make a good decision. He found the year/model vehicle in the color that I wanted, with low mileage; and in the price range that we established. I love my Maroon Nissan Murano and would recommend to anyone in the used car market to go with Skip Hammers of Autosports of Daytona.
