I bought a Honda Civic with 100000 miles on it. It was a little dirty and one tire was worn out. But the car is great! I mean, it’s an 8th generation Civic so if any repairs are needed, they are going to be cheap. I even ran an OBD and no codes except the TPMS was broken. (You don’t need a Tire Pressure Monitor System) So if you buy from here, I would recommend a tune up and check all fluids after any purchase. That’s like $200 in Maint after purchase. Carmax and other dealerships will charge an extra $2000 on top of the sale price for that same service just to give a used vehicle a “certified pre-owned” badge. That doesn’t mean squat but interest They don’t clean or prep vehicles like other dealers, So I think that’s how they keep costs down. This keeps really good prices compared to anywhere else for highly sought after economic vehicles. (Corollas/civics/Prius/etc) seriously check for any Honda with 100,000 miles in Carmax…. I bet nothing under $8000. But these guys will have some. I would give 5 stars except that the finance/admin side is a little difficult. I was told to change a cashiers check into Cash 🤔. So just understand this is a “Cash Preferred” organization… but they don’t charge a lot for processing fees. And regardless of the hiccup, they were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for an affordable vehicle at a good price. Just do your research and don’t be afraid to bring an onboard diagnostics device to check condition. Vehicles sold “as is”. And be patient and civil… no need to be argumentative and pushy. Just talk to the staff nicely and you’ll see these guys are just trying to sell vehicles in a time when supply is low and prices are high.

My daughter unexpectedly needed a replacement car less than two weeks before leaving for college in the Carolinas. Used car prices were inflated, especially in metro Washington. Every decent used Honda/Toyota we found on Craigslist was gone faster than we could check it out. So, against my better judgment, we went to a small used car lot that my daughter discovered in Alexandria: A & B Auto. I was surprised to find several cars that were in great shape and within our price range. The owner, Bruce, wasn't at all pushy. In fact, he was kind, good natured, and generous. It was clear to us that he had been making a living selling used cars for a long time, and he wasn't trying to stick us with a lemon. As they say, "honesty is the best policy." Bruce provided us with the full carfax report on every car we considered. He let us take our time and gave us the freedom to drive several of his cars. We ended up settling on a 2009 Honda CR-V at a great price. I took it to my veteran mechanic friend who checked it out and congratulated us on making a smart buy. (That felt good!) I went back to see Bruce about some additional paperwork that he kindly provided at no extra charge. I am really thankful to have found this business, and I will be a return customer when we next need a used car.

I went with a friend to purchase a 2002 Corolla with 127,000 miles on it a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Bruce, the owner, made time at the last minute before he was headed out of town. After the test drive, the sales process was smooth and all the paperwork was done dilligently. After a check up with the mechanic, the car was sound. The major systems were in good shape, and just some minor maintenance, fluids, etc. was done. My friend is very happy with the vehicle as a daily driver and looking forward to many years of reliable transportation without a car note. Mr. Bruce was very honest and generous with his time, staying an later than he meant to with a great attitude. While in the office, a happy customer came by just to wish him a happy vacation. The price for the vehicle, tags, etc. were all transparent, above board, and less than a dealership. We were in and out in about an hour, stress free. When the title came in, his collegue Mr. George, came in and made sure everything was in order, showing exactly which forms needed to be presented at the DMV and providing back up copies to make sure the documents on the day of purchase were available for the appointment (at the DMV). He was very professional, kind, and gave great customer service. If I needed a car tomorrow, I would ask what Mr. Bruce had available and do business with him. The dealership is easy to get to and there is parking available on site.

Bruce is the BEST!!! He is friendly, honest, and fun to talk with. Oh did I say he was honest!! That goes a long way when trying to navigate the used car world. The cars are older, sometimes not the cleanest, but Bruce is going to work with you and give you a great deal. He will talk you into coming the next day to see the car in the daylight and to take it on the highway to be 100% sure it drives ok. Bruce will give you a rock bottom price for a nice used car, don’t hesitate to take a look at what he has to offer!!

So I came to see a Honda accord use one that Mr. Bruce had for sale at his lot . Mr. Bruce is so friendly kind and respectful. Mr. Bruce gave me a good fair price for the Honda Accord that he had. And I bought the car from him. And the car is in good condition. I would recommend anybody to come see his cars he sells.
