Hands down the best. My car is a frequent flyer here and they have been so helpful and accommodating every single time - Bob & Mark, especially. Wouldn’t trust my car going anywhere else!

Found them online and Brad posted a great video of a vehicle I was looking for! I drove over an hour and was greeted by Ruben! He explained the vehicle details, answered all my questions, and was transparent about next steps and numbers. 2hrs later, I drove off the lot with the vehicle!

Everyone at Tom Sparks is amazing! My mom has bought cars from here most of my life, and they have never disappointed. Their service department is always so helpful and amazing. Ruben just helped me buy my second car from him and he helped me with every step, and never steered me wrong. I will always happily give my business to Tom Sparks because they treat you like family!

Bought a Jeep and customer service was excellent! Very helpful and smooth process..Would highly recommend!

Wonderful experience! No pressure and everyone was very kind! I highly recommend getting your next vehicle here!

Best place around for your car needs Bob’s the best !

Dealing with Dan and Ruben was absolutely amazing. They took what was a very stressful situation and completely turned it around. My family has been going to them since I was a small kid, so to say that these guys are truly amazing, truthful, and caring to their customers would be the understatement of the year. This town is truly blessed to have Tom Sparks Auto.

Came back to tom sparks in need of a new family vehicle and Ruben came thru and helped with everything quickly and efficiently on our purchase! Couldn't be happier with Tom sparks for sales and service!

Bought car from Brad and it was the best experience ever. What a great sales staff and service department!!!

Bought my first car from Tom Sparks and had a great experience! Ruben was an amazing help and walked me through the entire process!

Ruben is the best!

Although I did not buy a vehicle from here I did still have a good experience. I recommend those who are interested in buying or getting there car looked at to go here.

A pleasant car buying experience. The dealer ship put the used car in great condition. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Had a very great experience at Tom Sparks today very helpful and respectful, answered all my questions with no problem and got me in a vehicle all ready to go! Ask for Ruben Perez, Definitely helped me out today!

The service is outstanding at Tom Sparks Auto. Brad Mayo was very helpful and easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a newer used car. You won’t be disappointed!

(Translated by Google) It was a very pleasant experience thanks to Ruben Perez. (Original) Fue una experiencia muy agradable gracias a Ruben Perez

The best

Dan and Rueben did a good job helping me find a car option that would fit my budget.

Definitely recommend going with Ruben! He will make sure you get what you need & make sure you are 100% satisfied.

Tom Sparks is one of the best auto shops I’ve ever dealt with. They’re a small, family-owned business and you can truly feel the difference in how they treat people. Super honest, down-to-earth folks who went out of their way to help me out with some big issues. They didn’t try to upsell or take advantage — just real, genuine service. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a shop they can actually trust.

Great service, got a good deal and the staff were very professional.

(Translated by Google) Excellent service. Mr. Rubén is very kind and willing to help; I loved his attention. 10/10 (Original) Excelente servicio, el Señor Rubén es muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar, me encantó sus atenciones. 10/10

This is our 2nd car & we've had all our work done here on our cars. Best place in town!!! Many thanks to Dan, Reuben, Bob (service), & Carol & Nancy (office). They TRULY work for the customer!! Thank you!!

This is a long one, but worth it for anyone who doubts auto repair businesses. First and foremost my fiancé and I cannot stress how amazing the employees at Tom Sparks are. We had received service at a big chain company where everything that could go wrong would. They did the normal predatory practice of tacking on services and repairs when my fiance went in, but a different quote when I took the car in. We eventually went for a “simple” oil leak repair (bad choice) and 3 weeks afterwards we took it back to that shop because it was still leaking oil. The return quote turned into $4000+ worth of “repairs” after they had touched it. We were at our wits end when someone recommended reaching out to Tom Sparks. I called in and spoke to (I believe) Bob in the service center. While I never got to speak to Bob in person he was nothing but wonderful. When addressing these issues he assured me that they would do a thorough assessment to make sure that the previous shop was correct in their diagnosis of our issues. He had confirmed that there were issues with the specific part, and even then went above and beyond to address small issues we were unaware of. Not once in speaking with Bob did I feel that he was treating us like “just another customer”, he was clear and concise with their diagnosis, and assured me that they would do everything they could to help us. Not only was their pricing MUCH lower than the big chain, but they treated us like real people and were extremely helpful. IM NOT DONE YET AND NEITHER WERE THEY! The service team got the part in and went to work. I soon received a call stating that while they were preparing to replace the part ($1500 repair give or take), they noticed that our leak could’ve been from a simple O-Ring on that part. Bob asked me if it was okay that they tackled the cheaper options first, as it could’ve been the fix to our issues. Naturally I was ecstatic as we are soon getting married and money is tight. The repair came out to $400, and EVERYTHING is now working perfectly. (Other issues popped up because of the previous shop, so it wasn’t just an O-ring replacement). Long story short, I cannot stress enough how great everyone was and is, at Tom Sparks. I firmly believe that they are a diamond in the rough when it comes to auto repair shops. They take care of their customers and I will only trust them with my fiancé’s vehicle from this point forward. I just want to say thank you so much to everyone there, you have no idea how much that meant to us, and how grateful we are. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES!

Great customer service!! Ask for Ruben he’ll help you out and get the best deals for you!!

The service department is the best of the best. I will always trust Bob. I live an hour and a half away, and I will make the drive for repairs. They are so transparent and will NEVER push for a repair you don’t need. They quoted a costly transmission repair for me and actually recommended I pass on the repair due to the cars age. They prioritized my needs over a 2k repair. $40 for the inspection and they cleaned my floor mats. Just above and beyond!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting/working with their salesman Dan Gailey. I was a little apprehensive prior to going into Tom Sparks, mainly because I don’t buy cars from dealerships. However, I had also received numerous reviews from family and friends telling me about their own excellent experience from Tom Sparks. I had all those preconceived notions about shady car dealerships and was happy that this place, and Dan, were the opposite of what people think of when they think of car dealerships. I never felt any sort of pressure from Dan to buy my vehicle. Instead, Dan laid out the numbers right away. There were no hidden fees. Dan also presents himself in a very respectful manner. I felt like if I would have walked away and not purchased my vehicle, Dan would’ve just shook my hand, maybe asked me to grab a beer, and tell me to have a great weekend. I will recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a vehicle from a car dealership where you feel like the people there are normal and easy to work with.

Just bought a new GMC Terrain from Brad. And everything was fantastic!

My husband and I were referred by his aunt who has been going to this dealership for years! Tom Sparks Auto were understanding and very helpful. My husband and I were under a short timeframe and the kindness and supportive nature that we receive was greatly appreciated. Dan and Ruben were awesome, they both helped us and guided us through the process and answer all of our concerns and questions. It was such a wonderful experience. No pressure at all from either of them. We will definitely be going back in the future of needing another vehicle or just the maintenance on our vehicle. Thank you again for all of your kindness and making this experience go very smoothly.

One of the best auto sales shops and mechanics we have worked with. Fast and kind service. So happy with our new car!

Bought my first car from a dealership here and it was smooth and painless! Brad and Ruben are awesome and a pleasure to deal with. Will come back for my next vehicle purchase!

Mark is awesome. Goes above and beyond. Just got off the phone with him.

I bought 2 cars from Tom Sparks Auto and Brad Mayo. Wonderful place and the customer service is amazing!

Brad and all of the staff at Tom Sparks were very helpful throughout the buying experience!

What a wonderful experience! Great group to work with. The entire staff is amazing!

Tom Sparks is a great place to both buy a car & get your vehicle serviced! My wife has been going here since she was a teen. She and I have bought 2 cars from them & she bought 1 before as well. All purchases with Ruben have been smooth & easy — no hassle. The service department is honest & takes care of the cars well. Bob and Marc ensure the cars are running well. Ryan does great work as well. Definitely trust them with your vehicles — we wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I love this place! They treat you like family and act like a hometown dealer! Excellent service and excellent people! I've bought 2 vehicles from here. I'll definitely be back!

Great buying experience.

Did a great job doing a oil change and checking my 2017 Elantra Limited out

After a month of bad luck and overly aggressive dealerships, I found Tom Sparks Auto. I worked with Brad Mayo to purchase my new car. He made it extremely easy and worked with both myself and my family. I bought the car out of state and had to arrange a number of factors and he made the a process a smooth one. Brad and the Tom Sparks auto team made everything very easy and their communication was excellent. They're very easy to work with. I'd highly recommend going through Tom Sparks Auto for a new vehicle!

Brad has helped me purchase 3 cars and has always worked very hard to get the car or truck that fits what i was looking for! They have great customer service!

Always the best service in town! I would recommend them for maintenance and sales. Brad Mayo sold us our RAV4 and we absolutely love it!

Bought my car with Ruben and he was great!!!

We just bought a car from Ruben and it was one of the the easiest and most positive experiences we've had. He turned what was a difficult day into something positive. He took his time explaining everything step by step, but most of all treated us like family.

I have been a customer for 20 years every one I have deal with at Tom Sparks always easy to work with . They really have excellent quality vehicles

Tom Sparks Auto is and great car dealer and makes the experience of buying a car or getting your car serviced hassle free

AMAZING!!! We were traveling and picked up a screw in a tire. Called after hours and Ruben answered our call. Although service had left for the day, he said he would put the spare on at least. (The pressure had not dropped any more so we just waited). We arrived just after opening the next day (they were already working on vehicles), and they assisted us right away. We waited in their super clean waiting room and enjoyed a cup of coffee and some great conversation. This was some of the best SERVICE we have experienced and we HIGHLY recommend them. Parking lot is large and easy to navigate too! GO SEE RUBEN and the SERVICE DEPT at Tom Sparks!!!

Absolutely loved our experience at Tom Sparks. Dan set us up with a great family car and answered all our questions. They are not pushy for you to make a purchase at all, but they are very informative, which I loved! 10/10 would recommend.

Ruben is the best! He was very helpful and did everything he could to get me in a new car

Just purchased a beautiful used nissan rogue. Excellent customer consideration. Our salesman Dan was very honest and fair. Very pleased with our experience very friendly and efficient. Would recommend highly to anyone interested in a new car.

My family has bought several cars from Dan over the years and today I purchased my first car on my own! It was a great experience and everyone has always treated us like one of their own. Ruben is always helpful, too.

Amazing performance and friendly people!!!

Talk to Ruben and Dan they are amazing!

If you are looking for a Great Car & Deal please stop in to ToM Sparks they took excellent care of my son first time buyer

Fast, friendly and reliable service. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic shop these days. These guys are the absolute best! Thank you!

Working with Brad Mayo was a very relaxed experience. His humor matched my own, which made it even more fun. At the same time, he does know his stuff and was great at answering all my many questions.

I’ve been coming to see Ruben for 10 years now and he’s helped me a lot to find all sorts of vehicles for my family/friends.

Ruben helped me out and got me into a great car! Thank you! Really good people with a long reliable history with my family!

Great experience with Ruben and Dan!!! Will be back!

We bought a Buick Encore a couple of weeks ago. The experience working with Dan Gailey was very rewarding.. We love our car.

Great, trustworthy dealership

Friendly, helpful staff. Knowledgeable mechanics. A great place. Always satisfied, whether just an oil change or a major job.

I’ve been getting service repair done here for years and just bought my first car and I had a smooth, no-haggle experience. I would highly recommend buying a vehicle or getting any service work done here.

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend this dealer. They treated me very well, and ask for Rubén! (Original) Les recomiendo mucho a este dealer. Me trataron muy bien y pregunten por Rubén!!

Just got a new car from Ruben. He was very helpful and nice through the whole process. Definitely recommend checking them out if you are looking for a car.

Very kind courteous

Amazing!!! Brad and Ruben are so helpful! I’m a first time car owner and they were so easy to work with!

Very thankful for this place. Your hours make it very easy for those who work during the day to get in to drop off/pick up our cars!

GREAT SERVICE EVERY VISIT! BYRON ALWAYS TAKES GREAT CARE OF ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS.

Great experience and communication

Brad Mayo made buying a car fun and easy. When shopping at Tom sparks auto always ask for Brad

I come here all the time for my services on my vehicle and they do a excellent job. Come and talk to Ruben

Very helpful and friendly place that you can rely on. I would recommend getting your next vehicle at tom sparks auto

Great service, friendly atmosphere.

Sparks is a HOME RUN! Sparks had replaced my rear shocks nine months ago. Lately, I had noticed my car bouncing and shifting from side to side while driving. I took it back in and they discovered that the shocks had failed (manufacturer issue, not Sparks). They gave me a loaner car and had it fixed at no charge that afternoon. ALSO, at a recent oil change done by a different dealer, they had recommended that I have my front brakes & rotors replaced. I asked Sparks to take a look and give me an estimate. Bob came back with that they still had plenty of life left and don't waste your money. I cannot say enough about Sparks and their team. Forever a patron and you knocked it out of the park! Well done!

Tom Sparks is reasonable, honest, and easy to work with! We have now purchased two vehicles from them, and will always look to them first when we are ever on the hunt for a car!

Could I just say wow? Bob! If anybody knows service from the heart, it's you. I felt it. I called around price checking for batteries knowing the price at other locations, and I am already an impulsive person who does things when I feel like it. It was a very slim window and guess what? Bob got me in within 10 minutes of the phone call, and 10 minutes later I was driving out and on my merry way to the next appointment for something else. I felt like family even though I don't know everybody's names there except for Bob, Mark and Brad. Thank you to the technician that put the battery in for me. It's good to know I have a new place to consider for my future auto needs. Thank you so very much.

They were very accommodating. I liked dealing with the gentlemen that I talked to. Also I really think I'm going to enjoy my vehicle.

This is the 2nd time I've bought a car from Tom Sparks and it's been a very smooth experience. I've worked with Ruben and Dan and both were great and very useful. They explained everything very well! I would definitely recommend buying from Tom Sparks.

Quick to get me in and quick to get me out, a little pricey but good work so far!

The BEST experience purchasing a Durango today with Ruben! We came from two hours away & he had the car waiting for us when we arrived. Was super knowledgeable, helped with all of our questions, and made a great car buying experience. Would definitely recommend!!

Reuben was great! My parents have been back to buy many cars from him and are always satisfied. Great service, honest people. Thanks, Reuben.

This is the second vehicle I have bought from Tom Sparks with Brad and Ruben being great guys to work with. I feel they are honest and up front.

I just bought my third car from Dan and Ruben at Tom Sparks Dealership and as always. Love the experience and relationships! I can honestly say Ive been extremely happy with my vehicles and love the customer service. If you are looking for a car please consider reaching out to Dan Gailey at Tom Sparks.

Awesome dudes. Bought both our cars from them. Can't imagine going to anyone else.

Awesome help from these guys! Reuben and Brad were great in making sure I knew all of the fees associated with the car I wanted to lease. They weren't pushy nor did they try to over sell me on another option. I recommend this place to anyone purchasing a vehicle or needing repairs!

Made the 70 mile trip from Princeton to DeKalb yesterday to visit Tom Sparks Auto. We’ve made multiple purchases at Tom Sparks over the years and all of them terrific! Brad made the experience painless. Rueben took care of the paperwork with ease. Their vehicles are priced right and they are very fair with your trade-in valuation. If you dislike the negotiation portion of the car buying process, Tom Sparks Auto is where you need to go! The price is pretty much the price. That part takes the stress out of the process. That 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee in blue no longer is missing anything! It’s mine! We will be back!

Ruben and Dan are amazing!!!! Thank you for always making buying a car so easy! Love Tom Sparks, it's my go to place for a car.

(Translated by Google) If you need a car, look no further! Rubén Pérez can help you. He's bilingual, very kind, and will assist you with anything you need. (Original) Si necesitas un carro no busques más!! Rubén Pérez te ayuda, es bilingüe y también una persona muy amable y te ayuda con cualquier cosa que necesites…

We highly recommend Tom Sparks Automative of Dekalb. We've been treated awesomely from the beginning. I'm talking about more than twenty years. We purchased cars and still love to do business up to the present.

I am very happy with my car purchase experience with Tom Sparks. Dan is friendly and down to earth. Ruben worked really hard to put me in the car I wanted. They didn't try to upsell me with anything. Not at all your typical car salesman dealership. I will be doing all my service there as well. They have certified mechanics. Thanks guys...you ROCK!!!

The best service. Made you feel like family

Once again I hit the jackpot at Tom Sparks Auto. I needed an auto immediately and I wanted an SUV if possible. Brad took care of everything. I got a great SUV at a very nice price with all that I had hoped for. I bought a car from this dealership in 2005 and it was the best. If you want a fantastic auto for an extremely reasonable price with a salesperson that isn’t pushy and yet really listens to you and cares about you, then this is the place for you. The only downside was the gas. Every other place I have purchased a vehicle has always given me my new car with a full tank of gas. I drove my new SUV out of the dealership lot with less than a half tank. Oh well, it is a small price to pay for all the other positive attributes.

If you're in the market for a top quality slightly used vehicle Tom Sparks Auto is your go to place. We recently purchased our second vehicle from Sparks and once again the whole process exceeded our expectations. Dan and Ruben were super helpful in explaining every detail of our purchase and made us feel right at home. Tom Sparks Auto also has one of the best service and repair shops around with great technicians. If you need service or repair Bob will take care of getting it done.

Very good people to work with. Super convenient stait forward car buying experience.

They were very helpful and made the process quick and simple. Ruben was especially helpful and up front about everything. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a vehicle.

Great experience—they offered me a fair price on my trade-in, car wasn’t obnoxiously marked up, and the staff wasn’t pushy. I’ll probably be back to get my car serviced there.

Great service by Ruben and Brad Mayo. Have bought a few cars here and so happy we found what we were looking for. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else to buy a car. Thank's guys!!

Just purchased a new to us 2019 Buick Enclave. It started out kinda rocky with the vehicle, nothing to do with the dealership itself, but Sparks kept us informed every step of the way....til we signed on the line today. Ruben was great to work, treatment above n beyond. Thank You!!!

I went here for a car repair and they fixed it no problems at all. Thank you for your service. Would recommend to anyone who needs an honest mechanic

I’m very satisfied with the help from Ruben for my family and excellent service.

😃

My husband Steve and I had wonderful service with Tom Sparks Auto. Ruben was wonderful and really took care of us when we were looking for our next family car. I highly recommend Tom Sparks Auto and will be returning for their great service.

Had a great time buying a car here these guys are fun to work with

I was so pleased with the service. Extremely honest and friendly personal. It was a pleasure doing business with Rubin. No pressure. I would highly recommend them for your next car purchase. You will be glad you chose Tom Sparks.
