New Dealership Sunday Drive to Open in St. Augustine
Gainesville, United States – January 8, 2026 / TOMLINSON MOTOR COMPANY /
Situated conveniently off I-95 on SR 16 in St. Augustine, Sunday Drive delivers the same customer-centric car buying experience that Tomlinson Motor Company is celebrated for – featuring quality, low-mileage, certified vehicles in a welcoming, pressure-free atmosphere, with honest pricing, non-commissioned personnel, and no dealer fees.
“We are fond of the name Sunday Drive as it encapsulates the entire essence of our dealerships and the experience we aspire for our customers to enjoy,” stated Tami Tomlinson, Co-Owner of Tomlinson Motor Company. “Having been family owned and operated in Gainesville for over three decades, we are thrilled to extend that same laid-back, hassle-free business model to the beach area.”
The new location in St. Augustine has been constructed from the ground up, featuring a warm and inviting coastal design.
“It’s not a big box store,” Tomlinson emphasized. “We aimed to create an inviting atmosphere – a space where customers can take their time and truly enjoy the process.”
Sunday Drive anticipates hiring around 30 employees in St. Augustine, while also expanding its Gainesville team of 20.
The idea for Sunday Drive was conceived approximately 4.5 years ago, stemming from the Tomlinson family’s conviction that St. Augustine was an ideal market for a dealership experience centered on transparency, comfort, and simplicity.
“We identified a demand in St. Augustine for a dealership experience focused on transparency and comfort – with honest pricing, non-commissioned staff, and no dealer fees,” Tomlinson remarked. “St. Augustine is a unique place, and we are excited to integrate into the community.”
Sunday Drive is projected to open between February and March 2026.
For those moving to the area, visiting, or referring someone in St. Augustine, Sunday Drive will provide the same reliable service that Gainesville has depended on for many years.
Tomlinson Motor Company and Sunday Drive will remain family owned and operated.
