I tested one car, the check engine light started flashing after two miles. I bought another car, the check engine light flashed after 300 miles, $5,000 estimated repair at VW. I'm pretty sure they get cars barely running then sell them. Their mechanic is not good at what he does. I did not pay the $5,000 for repair, now it won't start. Do not buy from here. read more

I can't say enough good things about A1 Classic Motors! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed with professionalism and a positive attitude that made the car-buying process so easy and enjoyable. Tarek the owner and salesman, truly went above and beyond in providing the best customer service I've ever experienced at a dealership. Tarek was incredibly honest and transparent throughout the entire process. He made sure I was comfortable and confident with my purchase, offering helpful insights and answering all of my questions with patience. His approach is refreshing, and it's clear that he cares deeply about his customers and their satisfaction. If you're in the market for a reliable car at a great price, A1 Classic Motors is hands down the best place to go. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a trustworthy experience with people who genuinely care about your needs. Thank you, Tarek, for your exceptional service I'll definitely be back for my next car! read more

well, having the worst two years of my life with two layoffs in two years, I decided to sell my beautiful 2020 Chevy Silverado and take that money I made from the purchase to buy a vehicle. For some reason, I saw a car that this dealer was offering on Facebook marketplace and I wanted to go look at it. It was a 2012 red mini Cooper countryman. Believe me it was a cute little stick shift. I wasn't expecting the car completely broke down at work at a new job most embarrassing experience my life. I then negotiated and asked him to trade something else on the lot that would be reliable after weeks of negotiation I was able to go and look at other cars none of which really seemed reliable until I drove what I thought was a decent car. A Subaru Impreza hatchback. Brought it home Saturday and it broke down today. Dealer should have to be held accountable. This is unacceptable and the Better Business Bureau as well as the DMV will hear about this issue. I have a feeling that the title in possession is a title. It is the name of the dealer. Now that they take cars to Jiffy Lube around the corner to have all the codes reset or turned off so that their buyers have no idea what they're getting into. Way to run a slimy dealership. read more

My 60 year old Mom really needed a car. She went to A1 on the fly and was convinced she was getting a deal. Within 2 days of driving off the lot, the check engine light came on. She didn't have the means to get back to the dealership for about 2 weeks. The owner "fixed the issue" and sent her on her way. 2 days later, the code returned. After taking the vehicle to a private mechanic, it was discovered there were several parts of the engine held together with zip ties. It's very clear the owner erased the code and sent her away. The car was deemed unsafe a month after purchase. Today my Mom returned and was told "why are you giving me this headache" and the owner proceeded to raise his voice to my 60 year old mother. We will be taking a partner with WRAL 5 On Your Side to tell our story. I really wish we read the reviews first. While we understand used cars will have problems this was clearly someone taking advantage of someone in need. The owner has offered no resolution. read more

Stay away from here. I do not usually spend the time to leave reviews but I wanted to save even one person from the same experience its worth it. I bought a vehicle here 6 moths ago because it was a great price and looked in great condition. I drove it around the block and it ran great but I should have gone further with it. 1. After purchasing I noticed the temp gauge doing strange things. Then the check engine light can on and the truck overheated. I got the codes read and they had been deleted to cover this up. I got it to the shop to find the thermostat was bad ($800). 2. Next the traction control light came on and errors started popping up on dash. Turns out the BCM is fried and errors had been reset ($1000) 3. Next the lights for 4x4 were not coming on and they assured me it was a $50 controller that was causing that but it still would work. 2 weeks after buying the entire transfer case seized up ($3000) and the TCCM had shorted out ($600) After over $5000 spent on a truck not worth much more than that the final nail was when I took it to Jiffy Lube around the corner from A1. I was hanging out with them telling horror stories of all my issues and how I must have just gotten a really bad lemon. Only to have them tell me A1 brings in their cars almost every day asking for codes to be reset and check engine lights turned off so customers don't see the problems before buying. Please save yourselves the headache of a lifetime and stay very very far away from here. read more

I came by A1 Classic Motors and Ayman was so helpful. He answered all my questions and is very prompt in returning calls/messages. I love my car and would recommend to anyone I know! read more

I inquired about a vehicle that they had at A1 Classic Motors. The car salesman gave me a tour and showed me all the cars! He was professional and gave all details upfront. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone because prices are affordable and cars are in good shape! read more

I'm so disgusted with my purchase I don't even want to give a one star rating to this dealer, but was forced to do so to post this. BUYER BEWARE! He gets his cars from auction and so it's a crap shoot. You could get a great car, but you could very easily get a dud. We, unfortunately got the dud. We got screwed on our purchase, causing us three months of anguish and over $3,600 in repairs, almost as much as we paid for the vehicle. And we just discovered it needs more than $2,000 in additional repairs for a head gasket. Ayman Elaridi was charming, but we feel he was well aware of the issues when he sold us this Subaru Outback. There is now smoke coming out of the engine. It's not safe to drive. We took it to a nearby garage to have it checked before purchasing, and they also neglected to inform us of this huge problem. We tried to negotiate with Elaridi, to possibly return the car in exchange for something that is actually safe and that works, but he refused. So we're now stuck with a useless vehicle. We are not wealthy, in fact we are, like so many other families, struggling to get by. And to be put in this situation is unacceptable. Unfortunately we have no recourse and have lost a lot of money - money we can barely afford. This is our only mode of transportation. This is our one car and it does not work. This whole experience has been very distressing for us. Surely there is a better way to do business? He really does live up to the 'used car salesman' cliche! We will never do business with you again. You misinform good, hard working people, with very little resources and income. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and NC Attorney General's office. Do Not buy a vehicle from this establishment! read more

Without a doubt the most pleasant experience I've ever had purchasing a car. As is recommended by most experts, we had the car thoroughly checked by a trusted mechanic. Expected issues were discovered given the age and mileage on the car. Ayman took the initiative to have some of the issues corrected without increasing the price of the car. When we are in the market for another car we will definitely give Ayman a call. read more

Worst buying experience ever! I bought an 08 Altima coupe for my 16 year old son. I've only had the car two weeks and it has stranded my son twice and has had one visit to the mechanic and is on its way back to be worked on some more. The airbag light came on immediately after buying the car and leaving the lot. It wouldn't crank at test drive and I was assured it was only a dead battery which was replaced with a used battery. Of course, now the car will sporadically crank. So it was misrepresented by the dealer. PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. The dealer will do nothing. Glad they can sleep at night after treating people so poorly. I have filed complaint with the BBB and NC Attorney General's office. read more
