  Made the inquiry, part available and Steve Austin sent me the secure link for payment. Scheduled pickup and my plans changed, called Steve back to let him know my new plans. Everything went smooth, arrived at their location, part already pulled. Wish I lived closer.

  Not exactly what I expected. They had some reasonable prices vehicles but not ready to drive most needed major work(motor), as a junk yard I was amazed at the 10k plus to 22k prices. Best price for running 3k and up, that's not a bad price but I guess I wasn't expecting that from a junk yard lol. The man wasn't very helpful, seemed unconcerned that what was advertised at under 2k we expected running and they wasn't driveable.

  Very polite and straightforward team of people, George was able to let me put a deposit down on the vehicle before purchasing. Will be coming back in the future

  I had a great experience with East Coast Auto. I bought my 2022 Ford Maverick eight months ago. George and Holly were super helpful. I got the vehicle towed same day for a good price and have had 0 problem with my truck. I will definitely look for my next vehicle here and have already recommended East Coast Auto to my friends. One caveat, the vehicles are sold as is. So I would recommend going in person to inspect the vehicle before buying. They will let you crank and test drive the vehicle on the lot. Thanks again to all the good people at East Coast Auto

  Spoke to someone about a vehicle, that said zero miles, but then confirmed it was 21k miles. A week later its on there with 170k miles so i call back and the guy on the phone said it just came in this week, but It's been in my browser history for over 6 weeks. There was also different info on pricing each time I called. I wouldn't trust them... or make sure you get things in writing or record your conversations Edit / Update: George started working with me and attempted to clear things up and make it right. He followed up with me numerous times. He tried his best to find me what I was looking for and was very polite and professional, and through our many talks it became clear that he's a good guy to work with. So I'm bringing it from 1 star to 4 stars. Thank you George. Advice: if you're looking at an online vehicle at east coast, ask for George, dont trust the other guy.

  I drive 2 rebuilt title cars and love both of them. If you want a late model car with a great discount, don't pass on the deal. I have no intentions of getting rid of mine. 10 years and 3years after purchase.

  Got a car here for my teenager. They were fast and very helpful. My grandfather recommended them. Great place to find a used car.

  TERRIBLE SHADY CAR SALESMEN!!! STAY AWAY!!! I left a $500 deposit on a rebuilt vehicle, which I saw listed on their website. The vehicle was previously a salvage flood vehicle that East Coast Auto advertised as being FULLY repaired with a new Rebuilt title. I was assured by the salesman George that the vehicle is in perfect working condition. I drove all the way from New York to Virginia to see the car in person and to purchase it. When I inspected the car in person, the vehicle was riddled with multiple problems, including a check engine light, an emissions warning light, and the main navigation screen would not turn on. I politely informed them of the issues and that due to all of the undisclosed issues with the vehicle I was no longer interested in purchasing and that I would like my deposit back. The salesman George, who was previously very friendly, completely changed his demeanor and was very discourteous and rude to me and said my deposit is forfeit and that they would not give me my money back. I argued back and forth but they would not budge on the issue and instead insisted that my only option was to let their mechanic fix it which I was not interested in doing because this was not part of the original deal and I no longer was confident in the salvage repairs of the vehicle. I'm a very reasonable person and I understand things happen, but I'm not going to be forced into buying a $36,000 vehicle that is broken and was not as advertised. All I wanted was my deposit back, and I wouldnt have been upset. If they just took accountability, maybe I would have bought a different vehicle from them. But these people are so money-hungry and dishonest that they are willing to throw their reputation in the trash just to steal $500 from potential customers. Truly disgusting behavior. Please, if you shop here, do not be fooled by their low prices and polite southern hospitality. It's all a facade to hide their crooked schemes. UPDATE: After posting this review, East Coast Auto Source called me and agreed to give me my deposit back. However I will not be taking down this review because they had sooo many chances to make things right initially when it mattered most and treated me so poorly and wasted so much of my time and money traveling from NY to Virginia and back. Also, even though they were nice to me over the phone, it was only after I posted this review. They told me that they would give me my deposit back IF I took down the review. They still don't get it. Terrible people.

  My experience with East Coast Auto Source could not have gone any better. George not only had great communication, but took the time to understand our needs and restrictions when buying a car for our daughter in college. George was very kind and approached our car buying as a father of daughters…..get something safe and reliable. There is no doubt that I will returning to buy more vehicles from George in the future. Thank you George and the team at East Coast Auto Source.

  Thanks so much to George, Sabrina and the whole East Coast team for making our car buying experience painless. My husband and I would highly recommend looking at East Coast when searching for a car. They helped us every step of the way. Special thanks to Kelly Swink at Swink’s Body shop in Lexington. Thanks to both for a 5 star experience.

  Just purchased my 5th car from here. Heck of a steal as always. All of the vehicles I've purchased from George still run great, just needed a bigger vehicle for my family.

  If i could leave zero stars i would but sadly i have to leave at least leave one. I thought this was going to be a great experience buying a car from east coast however i was lied to and manipulated and was almost sold a car illegally then George Refused to give me my money back even though he claimed the car was mine but then wouldn’t let me start the car he would not give me my money back until i threatened to call a dmv investigator and a sheriff to get my money back i would strongly recommend to stay FAR AWAY from east coast auto and there entire business. I am a minor and george was just going to sweep it under the rug that i was buying a car without a parent signing or being present when signing so he illegally tied me to a contract i constantly had to call and ask for updates the whole situation was very ignorant on his part but thankfully finally got my money back after threatening to get a dmv investigator involved.

  Unless you are regular business. Do not take what George says as 100% fact/truth. I wasted my time and other people’s time to drive up and see a “running and driving vehicle”. When I got there (3 hour drive) “we lost the key sometime” so the vehicle did in fact NOT run nor drive. After being told for a week the vehicle was a running driving vehicle. Furthermore, the pictures on the website were from IAAI inventory photos and were not an accurate representation of the actual state of the vehicle. As the photos were almost 4 years old. Date on the picture and way back machine on the actual sale post that had the exact same photos. George was unwilling to negotiate the price, other than “free towing” ($250 value). The vehicle was misrepresented on their website.

  Without an “eyes on” inspection, I wouldn’t trust George or East Coast Auto with an online purchase. I trusted the posted photos and George to walk me through the inspection process. I was told that all was well. What wasn’t disclosed was that the car had been sitting in a dirt lot for 4 years. The muddy car arrived with 4 dry rotted tires, a dead battery and a partially open window that made the interior smell of mud and mildew. Edit: The passage of time does nothing to diminish the truth of what I said......and we did talk, you offered me $200. Compare the pics.

  We recently purchased a Repaired car from East Coast Auto Source. This is without a doubt one of the finest and most helpful business that I have EVER dealt with. They answered every question ,and I had a lot, and were anxious to provide anything we needed to complete the deal. This is a good place to do business, someone you can trust. Thanks George and Holly We have had a chance to get our new purchase home and pour over it, you never know what you have till you use it. The car far exceeded any of our expectations , they really did a wonderful job, a great car from a great source. Thanks again.

  I just bought my daughter's first car from East Coast. The prices are reasonable & the inventory is huge. Everyone has been super friendly, helpful and more than willing to take time to answer any, & all, questions. I have called back multiple times with more questions, & in addition to answering them, I am always welcomed to call back anytime if other questions arise. I've been telling all of my friends to look at East Coast when they go to buy their next vehicle! I know I will be back!

  I had to replace a seized engine in my 2012 Honda civic. A friend referred me here and I called to see what prices would be and if they had any. I spoke with Trish and we went over a few options, making sure the emissions matched etc. Ended up with a used engine with only 20k miles on it, paying $421 out the door which was an AMAZING price considering the situation and other quotes I received. She had other options available but this was the best value. The drive was. 3.5 hours for me and I arrived in an SUV with some straps. They helped load the motor into the SUV and strap it down. The engine has since been installed and is running PERFECT. No issues at all in my first week of driving. I'm also still in warranty as the motor came with a 90 day from day of purchase. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for used parts. Just be sure to do your research and make knowledgeable decisions on your purchase.

  My wife and I just purchased a Lincoln 2020 car from George and his team at East Coast Auto Source, and they went above and beyond to assist us. The process was very smooth, everybody was very helpful, and I got a REALLY good deal. 10/10 would recommend, and my family and I will definitely be back to purchase our cars from here moving forward. Thank you!

  I loved it here. Never been to Virginia before but the people here gave me the experience I needed . I did not have hard time getting the help I needed. Shoutout to Holly and Sabrina. They were very attentive and you could tell they love their job. The lot is HUGE and a bit unorganized but that's understandable. I bought my new car off the lot with no issues. They took care of anything that wasn't listed on the website with no issues. Everything checked out. One thing to look forward to: the lot drives with one of the mechanics on the lot. The golf cart type machines they use to drive you around are so fun! Please wear clothes/shoes you don't mind getting dirty !

  Thanks guys, I able to purchase the trucks from here, the setup it's a little un-organized but it's most definitely a great place to grab a bargain for used cars. Yes take a mechanic if you can to help you judge the car or somebody that knows about cars. Some need a lot of work but some others just need to replace pieces like bumpers, tires, windshields, but it's on you to take on that ordeal. Thanks again to the guys who help us outside at the yard.

  I have now bought several vehicles from east coast and I’m always happy with the service and the vehicle. East coast auto is the right way to get a good deal if you are looking for it! I will be going back to buy my next vehicle. They have a customer for life !

  I have been doing business with George for the last 10 years and he is a great guy! Have never been disappointed and he always delivered what he said..I have also referred several friends, who were very happy as well ! To begin with I have purchased about 7 cars from George, not to flip but because it's cheaper to own more than one car..then to pay a high car payment on a new one and the insurance..The blue z-car was my first purchase and was an most excellent purchase, never had a problem with it and this car pictured is 7 years old .. it's sold to a very happy owner who praised the great condition it was in. The second blue Honda was the most recent...have kids now so I needed a coupe.. interior is spotless and leather..East Coast Auto Source has been good to me. Thank you George!

  I recently purchased a 1999 Vette. The staff were friendly and courteous, especially Sabrina. It took a while to get the title, but that falls on Va DMV and not East Coast Auto. Overall I’m very happy with my car and looking forward to getting it back on the road. Who knows I may get something else down the road. Thank you Sabrina and George for your help with this transaction. Job well done!

  My experience was top notch at East Coast Auto Source. George and the rest of the crew were easy to talk to and were understanding of my expectations. I highly recommend.

  My family has gotten 4 cars here now. My equinox is practically brand new minus a couple small things and is worth a lot more than I paid. If you’re looking for another car you will guaranteed save by going here. Everyone is really nice and accommodating. They helped me a lot. Definitely worth checking out before you buy your next car.

  I bought a Jeep Rubicon from East Coast. George, Martin, and all the staff were friendly and great to work with! I did all the work myself to fix the Jeep and now enjoy it every day. It was a fun and mildly challenging project. I would definitely do it over again!

  Martin is very helpful and great to work with. I bought a 2017 GMC Canyon from East Coast and was pleased with my purchase overall. Sometimes salvage titles can be delayed from insurance companies so make sure you have the title before paying for the vehicle in full. Due to my title being delayed over a month, I ended up paying penalties in my state to legalize it since the 45 day period was past.

  I had a very good experience with these guys. George was willing to listen to my concerns and let us agree on a selling price. Everything was very seamless. I live about 2.5 hours away and had difficulty arranging shipment of the vehicle. George was able to recommend a shipper. This guys was great! He was very professional and even offered to help me get the car up into my garage.
