Excellent customer service, they bought my car and offered a good price for it, right to the point no back and forth. I was told if you get a better offer they will beat it ( most all the time )

I recently sold my 2010 Toyota Corolla, and the entire process was very smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and quickly.
Danteo, who helped me with the appraisal, did an excellent job. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. I felt very comfortable and satisfied with the whole experience.
I also received a very fair and competitive price, honestly better than what I was offered at CarMax. Because of this, I strongly recommend people sell their car here instead of CarMax if you want a better price and an easy transition.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the service and would definitely recommend this place to others.

Professional. They go above and beyond to make you at ease about the transaction. I basically did the whole deal over text and 2 calls with Emil. Then the day of a kind gentleman (Dante) came with all the paperwork, checked out the car and handed me the cheque. I cannot emphasize how above and beyond they went to assure me that the transaction was easy and safe. They also paid me more than any dealer in NoVA for my car!!! 100 percent recommend. Goodbye to my beautiful civic, ya served me well!!
