What the 2025 Tariffs Mean for You- May 2025

A Message from the Tom Bush Mazda

Since 1970, the Tom Bush Family of Dealerships has proudly served Northeast Florida with integrity and transparency. With the recent announcement of a 25% federal tariff on imported vehicles and select parts, we want to ensure our customers are informed and reassured.

Understanding the 2025 Auto Tariffs

Beginning April 2025, the U.S. government implemented a 25% tariff on certain imported passenger vehicles, light trucks, and components. This policy is designed to promote domestic manufacturing but may affect pricing across the industry.
