I bought a 2010 Subaru Impreza from them about 6 weeks ago. Now that I'm settled in with my new car…read moreI feel like I can give a proper review. At first I was nervous since I was buying a car outright for thousands of dollars. However, the salesmen who assisted me were excellent and I'm very happy with my purchase. The service was excellent, the car is probably the best deal for what I paid, and the process to buy was smooth. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the market for a new car.

Also, the salesman never communicates to each other so they would give you a price and then big boss would come out and charge you like 2000 extra dollars before tax and registration.

I appreciated the open communication, frankness, and ability to pay online. The area is a little rough in that the strip of road leading to the shop seems like it needs regular cleaning since there was a lot of broken glass from bottles when I visited. There is no waiting area so you'll need to walk out one way or the other, and some street cleaning would help with that. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and advice I received.

My experience at FC Auto was exceptional from start to finish. Upon arrival, I was welcomed with…read moreprofessionalism, courtesy, and genuine care, which is increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world. The FC Auto team, particularly Bonnie E., truly stood out. Bonnie was fantastic to work with during the purchase of my 2021 Grand Cherokee Altitude, going above and beyond to ensure my vehicle was serviced promptly and thoroughly. The work was completed to an excellent standard, and the entire sales experience was stress-free, restoring my confidence in the industry. It was truly a 5-star experience! Mike C.

I just purchased a used car here and had a fantastic experience. I was looking for a Honda Fit-…read morethey had 9- and I called ahead the day before and they had the two cars I was most interested in right in the front. The staff were really nice and let me look at them and test drive them with tons of time. Once I decided, I talked to Junior about pricing. They are very upfront about the costs, and post on the wall the additional dealer fee. There are no add on costs, no surprise "transaction" fees, no upsells for stupid things like nitrogen in your tires. They also don't negotiate on prices. That can be good or bad, just know in advance! Once we agreed on the price, Junior arranged the paperwork. In ten minutes he had everything set up. He made a folder with the forms I needed to bring to the DMV and specifically stated what each form was for. We were done pretty quickly! 1st Choice Auto Sales was a great place to buy a used car. The staff are honest, direct, and upfront about the vehicles. I wish all car buying was like this!

Really bad car buying experience. Other reviews praise the "no pressure" style of the sales people…read morehere and that is certainly true. There's no pressure. They barely recall that you exist. Meanwhile, other dealers where I showed interest were courting my business relentlessly. 1st Choice is a 90 minute drive (3 hour r/t) from me but I was willing to travel. I test drove their inventory of manuals: a Fiat, Yaris and CruzeEco. The six-speed CruzeEco was perfect except for a whistling under the hood and TPMS warning light. On August 5, assurances were made that these issues would be fixed in a day or two. Not wanting to lose the car, I placed a holding deposit on it. Even once I put down $500, it took literally weeks and many false promises of being done "this evening or the next day" before this car was roadworthy on August 20th. I asked if we would get a break on the $8,800 price because of the long wait, and sales person Junior replied, "Sorry, no." As relieved as I was to finally take the car into my possession, I was disappointed in the entire situation and the terrible customer service up to and including the day I bought it. When we came to pick it up, the car had 1/8 of a tank of gas, not even enough to make it home. I asked about this and Eddie took it to fuel up. The Eco (manual) holds about 11 gallons; here was a chance to demonstrate some gesture of good will. Hilariously he brought it back w 1/2 a tank. Couldn't even bring himself to send me off on full. Just TWO WEEKS after purchase, the check engine light popped on. My mechanic discovered oil splattered all over the engine, the compartment that holds the oil was nearly empty and the valve cap was busted. I reached out to 1st Choice, manager Eddie was of course useless. He said none of this was covered under the warranty, but suggested I bring the car to him anyway, for out-of-pocket repair, knowing it was a 90 minute trip and the car was in no condition to drive. He refused to take responsibility for selling me a damaged vehicle, implying too much time had passed. Again, I bought the car August 20. This was September 4. Not wanting to waste any more time / energy / money with 1st Choice Auto, I paid my mechanic $400 for the work. Looking back I see as soon as I settled on this car and was no longer actively shopping around, it put me in a terrible position. I needed a new commuter right away and SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT ELSEWHERE, but the non refundable $500 deposit and the continual promises kept me locked in, so for weeks I was scrambling to get myself and my kids around without a commuter, both before purchasing and then again when the Cruze was in the shop two weeks later. I do love this pretty little car (see pics). It is so fun to drive and gets great mpgs - hence the "ECO." But was it worth all the long wait, all the hassle and extra expense??? I guess I'm struggling to understand why it was put for sale if it wasn't ready to be sold and why it never felt like any kind of priority for them to sell this car to me. In retrospect, I realize I appreciate being treated as a valuable customer by other dealerships interested in earning my business. With 1st Choice Auto, it's kind of the reverse. And I would not recommend.

Overall: 15/10 An honest and professional shop that has…read moreearned my lifelong business. Service: 10/10 My primary contact was Mike, however I spoke with many other staff in person and over the phone over the course of a week after I had my Crosstrek towed in with a destroyed transmission system. Everyone was courteous, helpful, and responsive. The new transmission they procured was practically brand new and installed professionally. The experience they provided me as a customer was as excellent as the final bill and they are now my go-to shop for transmission and suspension work. Thus, I strongly recommend this business. When I had my car towed in, it was after hours, but conveniently they had an overnight key/car drop off system that was secure and easy. The lobby was clean, organized, and offered free cold water.

Had my vehicle being serviced at local mechanic and they notified me that the PTU (Power Transfer…read moreUnit) that is part of transmission on all-wheel drive vehicles was leaking badly and needed to be replaced. They did not work on transmissions and advised me to take it to a transmission repair shop. Called the Ford dealership and they told me to replace it would run around $3300. For comparison I called some transmission shops and got ahold of County Transmissions and spoke with Hampton. He told me that it would run $2300 including labor if it needed to be replaced. They had good reviews so I decided to take it to them and save the $1000. Took it there on a Monday and Hampton told me they would have it done in several days. By Friday had not heard from anyone so I called them and was told that it was next in line to be looked at which would be the following Monday. My vehicle had been there five days and had not been looked at. On the following Monday, Hampton called me and said that it did need to be replaced and to replace it would run $3200. This was $1000 more than $2300 as he had initially told me and about the same as what the dealership would charge. Mentioned this to him and he said that the $2300 was for a used PTU that they would get from a salvaged vehicle, and a new one was $3200. He had not told me this when I first called and I had of course assumed the initial quote of $2300 was for a new one. Didn't even know they would consider putting a used one a vehicle because how would you know it didn't have issues. In light of this new information and for the fact I feel it was a bait-and-switch, I decided to take my vehicle to the Ford dealership and have them do the repair. The dealership's warranty on the PTU was much better and I know am getting a genuine Ford part. With an independent shop am probably getting a cheap aftermarket part. If I moved to another city or say was traveling and had an issue with it, I could take my vehicle to any Ford dealership and they would honor the warranty. If County Transmissions had done the work, then I was out of luck. Had to take an Uber back to County Transmissions and pick-up my vehicle and then take it to the Ford dealership. This costs another $50 on top of the $50 Uber charge had already incurred when I took my vehicle there and had to take an Uber to get back home as I live far from them. I opened up my SmartTag GPS tracking app as had placed an Android SmartTag GPS tracking device inside the vehicle awhile back. Was very surprised to see my vehicle had been driven around Vienna and appeared they were using it to run errands as it was stopping at various locations. So in the end I was out $100 in Uber fees, they had my vehicle for a week and nothing was done after Hampton telling me they would get to it in several days, plus they apparently used it to run errands. I would certainly not recommend this company in light of everything that happened. Note: Saw that Hampton had posted a rebuttal on my initial review where he states that the initial quote was an estimate to repair the PTU, but this is not true. The PTU is something that is replaced, not repaired, and he gave me a quote of $2300 to REPLACE the PTU. Plus they didn't need to be driving it around to determine where the leak was coming from since it was obviously leaking when I took it in and it had to be replaced. When I called him on Friday he said they hadn't looked at it yet; however they had been driving it around before that Friday. He mentions that they have a shuttle service and I asked about this but was told it didn't go to where I live.

Mr. Kim and Roger did a very thorough job of evaluating the damage and explaining carefully what our best options were, including finding an excellent deal for us to replace our tires with new Michelines that we needed. They worked up a detailed estimate for us to fix the damage and they delivered on what they estimated, carefully explaining everything. This is the second time we have had our car repaired after a minor accident and it was repaired for a very fair price. I trust Mr. Kim, Roger, and the owner of this very excellent repair shop and I highly recommend them. They are very honest and deliver full value for every dollar spent there. I am glad to have such an excellent place to go right across from the Post Office in Herndon on Van Buren Street.

I am late in writing this review, but I cannot say enough about the amazing service I have received…read morefrom the Autohaus. I was in recently for a fender bender, each party taking care of their own damage. I received an estimate that was more than fare and in less than a week's time, my car was back in my possession. I was apprised of what the repair would entail and they worked with my insurance on my behalf. Everyone at Autohaus is lets you know everything up front, no surprises. As a woman, I as if I get the short shrift at dealerships and repair shops. Not at Autohaus. This is my second time at Autohaus. Several years ago, I had a scratch re-painted and the work and price were excellent. I will nuke my car there for check ups and avoid the dealership. Go to Autohaus with confidence, I highly recommend their services.

They provided a detailed, easy-to-understand report showing what needed immediate attention and what items may need to be addressed down the road. What really stood out was their honesty. They never tried to upsell me or pressure me into repairs that weren't necessary. Instead, they took the time to explain everything, prioritize the repairs, and let me make an informed decision. It's refreshing to find a shop that's focused on helping customers rather than selling unnecessary work. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional mechanic, I highly recommend The Car Doctor for all your vehicle needs. I'll definitely be bringing my other vehicles here for future maintenance and repairs!

The pricing is worth the level of assurance I received, especially with the warranty and follow-up.

Instead, they went out of their way in a respectful and professional manner to earn my business. As someone who usually wants a second opinion, I appreciated how they clearly explained what needed to be done, why, and showed proof of the work. They delivered exactly what I needed and got my vehicle back to me on time. I'll gladly continue to bring my business here moving forward.
