Rip off

The car we bought is not safe and they have not fixed it in 18 months after 10 trips to the shop[. They have lied the car is a flood vehicle and now I have proof, so the next step is court.

Very disgusting business practice

I purchased a vehicle from the Auto Conndction Norfolk and it needed a total engine replacement after 18 months. I get that cars can be unpredictable and I am not disputing that, but my anger comes from Michael Wayne who wants to feed off of people. I still had about $9000 due on the car and the repair cost were close to $4500. It took them 2 months to get me the estimate and the auto repair department kept blowing me off. He wanted me to put half down on the repair while still paying the monthly payment which was $590 and then on top of that they wanted to add the balance of the repair to my loan and all at a finance charge of 18%. I also informed him that during the time that my car was in their shop that I had to pay for a rental car and continue to pay for a rental until it was fixed which they could not give me a specific window of time. I even asked if they could provide a loaner car so I could pay the amount needed and he said "no". The vehicle was overcharged to begin with and I had several reputable dealers in the area confirm this and they personally said that he was a crook. Unfortunately I can only blame myself for walking into the "Devils" hands and not making any excuses, but I have a hard time finding this to be a fair practice. And not to mention that I acted in good faith to try to work something out. Unfortunately, these are the people that God warns us about. Instead of wishing him ill I will get on my knees and pray that he will turn his business practices around and learns what it means to be a good person. Money has made him corrupt. I truly hope that readers will take this to heart and please go somewhere else to purchase your car. It looks good on the outside, but not so much on the inside. I have recently found out that there are much better dealerships here in the Hampton Roads that are much more honest and fair.

The auto connection's slogan says' they a car buyers best friend.... Let's think about this for a moment. Would we expect a our best friend to over charge us?Would we expect our best friend not to keep their word?Would we expect our best friend to give a crappy parts?Well, the Autoconnection has failed to do all of these things! I never could get a ride to the dealership. The 2005 Mercery...

If you have anything wrong with car you get from here you just get a run around to the warranty runs out then its up to you to find someon r that can fix it

Editorial review from Citysearch

worst car dealership out!! beware!! I bought a car about a year and a half ago I've had nothing but problems with it. The people from the Midlothian store told me that the car only had a 2 months warranty, called Michael wayne investments come to find out the car has a 12 month warranty. They lie and sell you poor conditioned cars!!!!!!!!!

Editorial review from Citysearch

Just bought a car from them today! Staff was excellent! It's obvious they have courteous professionals here. They always had a smile on their faces. They were polite, professional, and pleasant. It was truly a pleasure doing business with them. They made the experience hassle free.... Truly! You know when you walk onto a dealership's property, you start to get that feeling like you have to have your guard up and be ready to do ""battle"". Well, this experience was the exact opposite. They aren't flashy. They won't offer you a pedicure, or a movie, but they will offer you something...

Bought a Montero Sport back in 2003 from Mike at the Auto Connection. Was a great truck, anytime I needed an inspection or tune up they were there to help. When i decide to sell it they gave me a great trade in price and i upgraded to an escalade. They are known for helping people with bad credit, but I got a steal on the truck and got a low interest rate. I think your rate just depends on how...

I went to purchase a used car from this place and we talked to the sales person and had the car set to do all the paper work to sign the next day. I showed up the next day and they tried to put me into another car and told the bank that this was the car they tried to put me in for the whole time. Needless to say they tried to put me in a car that i didnt even look at and had the bank do all the paperwork for something i didnt get a chance to look at. I would not send anyone to this place or even look at the lot. I went next door and found a better car for my money with better miles and...

I recently purchased a car from The Auto Connection. The sales staff was so nice and helped me find the perfect car. I have been to many other dealerships and was not treated with the respect that Auto Connection did. If you are in the market for a great used car, check them out they will treat you fairly!

Recently my family and I had the opportunity to search for a used vehicle, and we went to The Auto Connection to check their inventory. From the moment we walked on the lot, we were treated with respect, and the Sales Staff made us feel comfortable while we searched the lot for the car we needed. We were allowed to ""test"" drive several vehicles. Once we decided on a vehicle, the entire process went smoothly and quickly, and in less than two hours, we drove off the lot with the one we wanted. I recommend to anyone who is seeking a used vehicle, check out The Auto Connection on Virginia...

I bought my car from Auto Connection and just paid it off this week. I LOVE my car and I LOVE the service and respect I always got from Auto Connection. The finance department was always friendly when I called to pay and the service department was always great if I needed an oil change or state inspection. I am shocked there are people who have had bad experiences there, I just dont see how that is possible. I will definitly go back to Auto Connection if I want another car, but mine is doing just fine!!

This is the worst place to buy a car! I am almost done paying for my car I purchased in 2007. It was the worst decision I have ever made in my life!! The people at the Auto Connection are rude and could care less about any of it's customers... There is a device on all of their cars that turns your car off if you do not pay your car note, but what they don't tell you is that device will mess your car up! It will shut your car down even when you're up to date on your payments. This device has left me stranded MANY times and the sad thing about it is that the people at the Auto Connection...

I'm so glad to be done with this company. Bought a lemon car yrs ago with 100,000 more miles on it that they didn't disclose. (This was all before CarFax) It broke down repeatedly! Once on the interstate with my 1 yr old daughter. They never fixed the problem after countless times of trying and they finally just came and took it. Then put a judgement on us for an amount the car wasn't even worth! 7 yrs later I can happily put all this crap behind us for a car that probably went straight to the dump or knowing them they may have re-sold it on another unexpecting person!!!

I got a car from them approximately 2 years ago now.... The day I bought the car I should've just left it with them that night. I was on the interstate coming off the ramp and did the fuel injector mess up on me. I wasn't able to start my car. I got a ride home & notified them in the morning. By then the police had towed it away. The supposedly fixed the problem & in less than a month later the same thing happened again, on the interstate, so I had it sent to another branch to get it fixed. Since then I had the censors fixed for my signals, replaced my rotors, calibers, injector rings just...

Auto Connection sounds like the place that will help you even if you have repo no problem, no credit history no problem all lies. They do check your credit and they do care if you have had a repo in the past and they do care if you don't have any credit history. Young buyers will never get a car here. To bad. Dishonesty is what they stand behind not good services./

I have had the worst experience possible with this dealership. The car that I bought I came to find out was about $5000 over priced and has had more problems then its worth. This dealership survives because some of us have had things happen in our lives that affect our credit and these people prey on that. On top of paying $400/mn for a 2001 Monte, I replaced the tired, the rotors, the brakes, the battery, the started, the cellonoid, the entire engine and now apparently the transmission. Unacceptable. You can't get in for service and when you do you get lied to. Definitely sour grapes...
