Nutshell/TLDR/Summary: Being a first-time car buyer may be mentally debilitating during a pandemic and crazy car market, but don't write off your local mom-and-pop car dealer thinking dealerships are the only way to go. They might surprise you and sell you your first car. I don't write reviews often whatsoever. An experience has to be either really good or really bad for me to write one. Otherwise, I just leave a rating. In this case, it was the former, and I left the lot with my first ever car purchase. Now, let me add some context. I got in a car wreck roughly 6 months ago with my nephew and dog, which are the two beings I love and cherish the most on this planet. Thankfully no one was hurt, but my car was totaled. I started the hunt with a huge learning curve since it was my first car buying process on my own and my folks didn't teach me much growing up about cars if at all. That paired with getting rides, working two jobs (basically 7 days a week), a pandemic and a terrible market, I had my work cut out for me. Enter in 6 months later after 1. buying a car that was still in transit only for the car to come in bad condition and not be able to be sold to me ultimately, 2. buying another car, which was ironically the ONLY one I didn't take to a mechanic beforehand, only to return it within the week due to finding out it had various electrical issues with suspected flooding, 3. multiple salesmen talk down to or flirt with me, and 4. multiple occurrences of cars being online or on the lot when I call but actually already sold, not on the lot due to transit or way worse condition than stated when I arrive.. Needless to say, I was burnt out. Now, the good stuff. I had already been to A-1 Auto Brokers a few months prior to test drive a Kia Soul, but it didn't work out. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant experience. So, when I saw TWO Honda Civics online, I went the very next morning and started inspecting the two Hondas when Chuck greeted me. I told him I would not be a customer unless I was able to get it checked by my mechanic. He stated it was more than okay, encouraged me to take my time and was nothing but transparent and helpful from the beginning. At one point we related on plants, so I half joked when I told him if I bought a car from him, I'd bring him some plants haha. Chuck was very personable. Pleasantries aside, I only was interested in the Honda Civics, but I didn't want to test one and maybe miss out on the other, so he let me take BOTH of them to my mechanic in Gulfport. One of was more promising than the other, so when I came back, I leveled with Chuck on finding a fair price and ran some things by their mechanic, which ultimately helped me feel confident in taking it off the lot. In the end, Chuck got me what we both wanted at the end of the day: a good experience buying and selling a car. The owners were very sweet throughout the process too. They respected my decision to work with just Chuck, were considerate of covid precautions, and shared stories about their furbabies. Because of their hospitality, I went the extra mile like they did for me and followed through on my 'joke' I had with Chuck throughout the day and went home to repot some plants. I added that I would bring my dog for his animal loving bosses to pet too. I showed them I was serious when I came later to pick up my car with some aloe vera and my yorkie, Cooper. Granted, my dog was coming regardless, because I am that animal owner that shares my wins with my furbaby, but I definitely wanted to treat Chuck for helping out a young adult that has struggled and needed a break from all of the hardship. It may not be the car I wanted or the scenario I envisioned, but I am beyond grateful during such trying times and the peace of mind going forward. Not everyone has the car to borrow to shop around whenever, time to shop leisurely, money to spend carelessly, etc. So, them being respectful of my time and energy means a lot. Truly thankful for A-1 Auto Brokers and recommend them to everyone searching for a car. read more

I recently purchased the BMW X3 here I have spent over $6,000 to repair it pay them about $15,000 for it about a year ago.. the car has given me nothing but troubles from day one in fact I've even asked them to let me trade it in after 24 hours when I purchased the car and they would not they turned me down. They don't give you any warranty any guarantee that a car is running properly they're scams and they get most of the cars that are Savage cars. This car was Savage from Florida it must have been in a flood or something I only had 60,000 miles but they knew that the car went $2. Do not trust these people they are dishonest and all they're in is for the bucks they don't even help you out when you have problems with your car they turn you away they're friendly at the first sight but do not trust them when you turn your back because they're out to get you. Tell all your friends and neighbors not to do business with everyone Auto brokers in Ocean springs. read more

The cars they sell on this lot are Lemons and they make 6,000 or more off their Junk cars. NEVER BUY FROM THIS PLACE!!!! The owner and salesman are NOT HONEST to you about their vehicles. If you buy from them, make sure you take that car to a shop and have it put on a computer to check it out. I had a friend who got stuck with a BMW and is still putting money into that car. I was a wrecked car and they knew it and sold it to him. I'm sure they laugh all the way to the bank with that poor guy's money. He is taking them to court over it. THEY SHOULD BE RAN OUT OF BUSINESS. read more

Chuck is a really great dude with good integrity. Sold me a car for under 1700 KBB price. Reasonable down payment, decent financing but APY was above normal. What really made it worthwhile is how informative he was and making sure to let me know my options that best suit my situation. Even gave me a free gas card after purchase. Overall very pleasant experience and would recommend if you're looking for a new vehicle. read more

The staff was extremely helpful and was able to put me in a car that is safe and trustworthy. Especially after trying to repair a 2006 BMW with a seemingly never-ending list of problems, A-1 Auto Brokers gave me peace of mind and a reliable car. read more
