Tomlinson Motor Company Launches Sunday Drive 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 has built its reputation on – featuring quality, low-mileage, certified vehicles in a welcoming, no-pressure atmosphere, with straightforward pricing, non-commissioned staff, and no dealer fees.
“We are fond of the name Sunday Drive because it encapsulates the entire essence of our dealerships and the experience we aim to provide for our customers,” stated Tami Tomlinson, Co-Owner of Tomlinson Motor Company. “Having been family-owned and operated in Gainesville for over 30 years, we are thrilled to extend that same laid-back, hassle-free business model to the beach community.”
The new dealership location in St. Augustine has been constructed from the ground up, featuring a warm and inviting coastal design.
“This is not a big box store,” Tomlinson emphasized. “We wanted it to feel accessible – a space where customers can take their time and truly enjoy the process.”
Sunday Drive anticipates hiring around 30 employees for its St. Augustine location, while also expanding its current staff of 20 in Gainesville.
The idea for Sunday Drive originated approximately 4.5 years ago, rooted in the Tomlinson family’s conviction that St. Augustine represented an ideal market for a dealership experience centered on transparency, comfort, and simplicity.
“We recognized a demand in St. Augustine for a dealership experience focused on transparency and comfort – featuring true pricing, non-commissioned staff, and no dealer fees,” Tomlinson explained. “St. Augustine is a unique community, and we are eager to become a part of it.”
Sunday Drive is projected to open its doors between February and March 2026.
For anyone moving to the area, visiting, or referring someone in St. Augustine, Sunday Drive will provide the same reliable service that Gainesville residents have trusted for decades.
Both Tomlinson Motor Company and Sunday Drive will remain family-owned and operated.
