Found a Sweet car.. it needed a lil TLC but the main things I was looking for engine reliabilty.. and it sounds better than my last, granted the TSX is a phenomenial car.. thats NOT THE POINT. It was WPAA that not only reponded well over than phone, despite my slight antsy and arrogant ass... these guys were the definition of patient, decently knowledge.. helpe dme with a few things that wasn't their problem, gave me a sweet as deal (don't run your mouth.. just talk to them and see what they can do for you) there not dealership guys who run around in suits trying to lie to you.. their real guys who know and loves their cars..and have to unfournately deal with a variety of things.. NOT reading from some pamphlet.. one guy seemed like he slid cars in the past if you know what I mean :-) ... Felt like dealing with a big brother or longtime loving neighbor.. THANKS! guys a whole lot.. and btw my mechanic saw my car and said.. DUUUDe that one is sweet as Sh** .. was that the one I sent you? I replied no.. that one was WPAA (Woodbridge Public Auto Auction..) They do not make, create or service cars to a whole.. there a business, actually selling decent shit.... learn to take care and get your car looked at.. its a Public Auto Auction... and Yelp is trash and everyone writing these salty reviews.. SouthPark was right. You guys got some free pizza coming your way.. btw your patience with me was A1+. I'll be back in woodbridge for sure! Thanks for selling me AMY! read more

Woodbridge Public Auto Auction - Car Dealers Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Buyer beware. Unless you're a mechanic or have a lot of extra money to fix the vehicle, I'd stay away from this place. Bought a Honda Pilot and it cost us $3000 just to get it to pass a state inspection!! Lesson learned the expensive way I guess. read more

I drove by while looking for a car last Saturday and saw a Jeep Wrangler outside I liked; well-cleaned and was told to put a minimum deposit down and asked if I changed my mind if I get my money back. I called at 11.00am to cancel and they said, go read the fine print that I can't get my money and stole my money... They lie and would steal my money... They are nothing but fraudsters ... read more

Great car buying experience! Family run business with friendly and knowledgeable staff. One stop shop! They take care of everything you need for car buying services including financing, registration, tags, delivery and more. Their selection is really good and is also available online! When in the market for a used car I would recommend checking them out! read more

I really loved this place and the customer service. These guys are very helpful and informative when purchasing a vehicle. I highly recommend shopping here not only on auction days but open to the public Monday - Friday. So if you aren't able to make Saturday which is the auction day stop in throughout the week. The deals to me are even better. Thanks again guys for a job well done. Although I went too purchase a truck for my pops. It still was definitely a great experience! read more

Bought a truck and it ran well for two weeks until the check engine light came on. The entire engine needs to be replaced. My mechanic says they found some fluid in the engine coolant and throughout the pipes that would temporarily cover up the engine issues. I'm selling the car for parts. Do not purchase from these people. read more

If it was possible to leave zero stars, I would! My wife and daughter were searching for her first car, they went to this place to look at a car that we found online... Only to get the classic slimy BAIT AND SWITCH! After driving 30+ minutes on the highway they were told that the car had 'already had a deposit'? followed by 'would you like to see anything else'? CLASSIC SHADY used car sales tactic. DO NOT RECOMMEND, ZERO STARS, DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS! read more

People have to realize that it is an auction with vehicles that have unknown histories. You never buy a vehicle without looking at it and especially not having it looked over. I bought two vehicles from them and although Carfax is not an end all be all... it definitely gives you insights, such as, if the vehicle has been in accidents, floods, service history and also "one owner vehicles " which I only purchased from auctions. Also having an extended warranty is an added protection. Treat it as a major decision/ do your homework and not just hoping for the best. read more

This has been my experience with Woodbridge, I recently won a bid for a vehicle, They called my HOME phone around 4:30 pm cause apparently that's the phone number on file, They left a message informing me I won the bid and to please call them, since I didn't get home from work until 6 pm and their website says they close at 5 pm, I waited until the morning and called them 15 minutes after they opened, Talked to some guy, told him I won a bid and I was asked to call, He looked it up and said he didn't see where I won anything (even though I was the sole bidder and have a message from them saying I won) He took my number and said someone would call me, Nobody ever called, vehicle mysteriously disappeared from their website literally overnight. I'm disappointed they couldn't return my call nor could they put me in touch with someone that knew what going on, I won that vehicle and they didn't hold up their end. Makes me wonder if an employee didn't get it. Woodbridge needs to do much better before I can view them as trustworthy. read more

I purchased a vehicle from them Saturday, April 1, 2023. I paid $8,475.00 and the oil light came on while driving home. I took it to have it serviced and discovered a major oil leak, that required the replacement of the crankshaft oil seal, the front left axle shaft assembly needed to be replaced, it needed a new drive belt, and the rear brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. In total, I had to spend another $3700.00 in repairs on the vehicle. I contacted WPAA and was told there was nothing they could do about it. I would not recommend anyone purchase a vehicle from these people. read more

Don't buy a car from here. I got a car from here and 3 months later the timing belt broke. Messed my whole life up and I'm still suffering as a result. Beware of these sleezebags. read more

Great Customer Service means everything to me. My husband and I went to Woodbridge Public Auto Auction because my brother-in-law in Texas needed a car. We needed to purchase a car right away and have it shipped all the way to Texas. I was so nervous and uncomfortable. I must say that I had the best car-buying experience at Woodbridge Auto Auction. I would buy my great-grandmother a car and let her drive cross country. That is how much I trust that they would do everything in their power to sell me a great car. NOTE: I am a busy woman and I never write reviews!!!!!!!! Courteous-- Welcome to Woodbridge Auto Auction Empathy- Oh no, I am sorry to hear your brother-in-law is having car trouble. Responsive-Everytime I walked back in the showroom, a representative was ready to give me more keys so I can look at more vehicles. Transparency- The check engine light was on and they told me, we do not turn check engine lights off because we want you to do your homework. We will tell you why it is on and you can make an educated decision about the purchase. Understanding- We know you need to get the car shipped and we know you want this to be a surprise. Outstanding- They arranged for the car to be shipped and they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable about the process. Special- Although they were busy on Presidents Day, I felt like I was the only customer at the dealership. Memory- Hello Mrs. James how may we assist you? The lead word in each sentence above (rearranged) spells out CUSTOMER. I was overwhelmed with the customer service that I received from the entire team at Woodbridge Public Auto Auction. Theo, Britney/Brianna, Mr. Yaw, and all of the staff that assisted me were amazing. The car arrived safely and my husband and I would like to thank you all for making my brother-in-law the happiest man in TEXAS. read more

We purchased a car on August 8th, and we were catfished. They were super nice, and talked the talk, they made the cars sound wonderful and to be honest they look it on some, but the cars are ultimately rigged up. They use their mechanic shop to rig up the vehicles, so they run for a couple of weeks. So, I purchase this vehicle and at the cashier's office get told if after the 30-day plate you get if you need another to get it through inspection just call. Took 30 days plus to get our title, asked for a plate they say yes, they will mail one. A week later nope still nothing so I call again the next girl says the manager did not approve it she will go talk to him and get it approved, gets back on the line says it was approved by Sully and they will mail it. It's been a month and guess what never arrived no plate. They lie from the start. We test drove two vehicles, the first one had a crank shaft sensor code, the guy says when I tell him no I don't want it, why not you can pay to get that fixed, no mind you this vehicle is already 11k. SO we pick a different one, it was okay on the surface but it had a TON of issues you could not see until all of the things they did to it went away. They rig up transmissions, they put stop leak in vehicles, and they are selling you JUNK stay far away. I spent 10k on a vehicle that a month later has multiple issues, and is not worth fixing, that's just the start of my experience, but if you work hard for your money I would Buyer beware and RUN. read more

Bought a used Audi, the deal was great and the car runs good for used car. When I bought it, it had a small dent. The guys worked with me to get it repaired at their shop across the way. The dent was front left fender well, the repair was done and they did a great job however someone either from the repair or detail decided to go through my car and STEAL my iphone in the glove box and a special bottle of Courvoisier I had hidden in the back hatch area. I was told they would get back to me and that never happened and the next dude gave me some story about having no cameras. I told them I won't be the last person who makes a complaint about THEFT with this kinda responce, like they are giving the green light and saying it's ok we just wanna sell cars. YOU GUYS CAN DO BETTER and that FCK who stole my chit......you gonna get caught and hope they report you to me. read more

1 star because it doesn't go to negative 99. found a beautiful looking BMW on the website. We live over 5 hours away so we called to make sure the inspection was valid and no check engine lights. they told us no problens and that the vehicle was inspected. so we put a $300 reserve to hold the car. we got up early and it took over 8 hours to get there...to find the car was not anything close to the picture. it was vibrating, shaking, there was oil exploded under the hood because the valve cover gasket was bad, the exhaust was broken and IT WAS NOT INSPECTED, the dash was lit up like a Christmas tree with engine lights. Everything else on the lot was JUNK. wrecked dirty disgusting vehicles..DONT waste your time. read more

They started off nice. I got the car I wanted and the monthly payments I wanted. My check engine light came on 1 day after I got it. I was able to get the problem fixed. I few weeks later I noticed a noise coming from the wheel. I had a mechanic look at it and he informed me that my axel was broken. Took my vehicle back to WPAA after 3 days they said it was fixed. I paid $250 for the part and installation. I few weeks later now the noise is back and even worse. All they do is try to get as much money outta you as they can. They're a bunch of crooks. Would never recommend them to anyone, read more

5 stars! I have bought two cars from WPAA, a BMW and a Range Rover, and I can't say enough great things about the service, professionalism and patience of the team. Everyone we worked with was so kind. The entire staff is very courteous, honest and knowledgeable. Any used car is going to need repairs, so it's important to go into any buying experience with that in mind. The team that works there is patient and happy to answer questions and help throughout the whole process. The communication throughout the process was outstanding and all parts of the experience were very well organized. I would definitely buy a car from them and I highly recommend! read more

These ppl are NUTS. Made an appointment with Judy to test drive a Honda Accord cross tour. This place is an hour away from home, got to the spot to get told no appointment was made and the car is being painted. These ppl are unprofessional and cheap. They fired all their dealers pushing this self service BS. I will not spend my money here. Not today not ever. read more

I just bought a 2004 Nissan Sentra from here a few years back And recently found out that this car do not have a Cala converter and I'm unable to get rid of it and tow it for a small refi read more

The cars are junk. You're going to get sucked into a high interest loan on a car with a high chance to no longer function in a matter of months, if you're lucky. read more

my daughter and I went to WPAuction just to browse a little bit. We were received by the most attentive, nicest and very informative sales associate Mrs. Lucia Giordano.During the test drive,she made sure that everything from cars were perfectly working. In a very positive and friendly manner Mrs. Giordano guided us through the whole process of selecting what would be most suitable one that fulfill my daughter's needs. We're also grateful with Mr. Steve from Cypruss, Mr. Armando, Mr. Sharriff and the lady who was on that day, who gave us the warmest smile ever ( black woman with beautiful face). In conclusion, thanks to our loving Father in heaven who led us there My daughter has her first car ever. A rain of blessings for all of you guys!!! read more

Woodbridge Public Auto Auction - My first car!!! - Car Dealers Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Vehicle selection could be better but I found a great deal and gem, VW Passat, thanks to the help of salesman, 'Coach'. I had been looking for a vehicle for my daughter to go back-and-forth to college for a while as he was very helpful in making her dreams come to true.The sales process was very seamless and price was very competitive. Also, there's service fee applied to the vehicle sale which I didn't find reasonable. The black rubber car mats that were originally in the vehicle were removed when I returned to purchase the car . They do offer a $1 dollar raffle auctions on Saturdays. read more

See all

Well where to begin? it was time for my boyfriend's son to get a car- so I was sent on a mission to find something since time was not on our side. I arrived on a Sunday morning before 11am and a bit nervous, because I had to do this alone. CAR SALESMAN can be a pain. I was greeted by Larry when i entered the building. Very nice. he ask what i was looking for ? I told him what monies I was working with and the person it was for. and then he was off! He showed me numerous car in my price range- over all Larry was very good. He told me what to look out for and if he did not like the car he would tell me right up front. Never offered a car that was out of the price range like other salesmen have done before. I felt I was blessed to get someone who was honest. I was finished with in 1.5 hour and gone. NOW the managers were "sales men" over selling the car to me- it wasn't necessary I was finished. Not sure I would purchase my next car from the auction, but I would recommend it if you need a 3rd car or a teenageers first car. Ask for Larry. read more

Very large selection of rough high mileage vehicles that were dumped at dealer auction after being traded by previous owners. Then they market these junk vehicles to lower income parties that cannot afford the inevitable repair bills. Stay away. Don't risk your hard earned money on these high mileage clunkers. read more

RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!! My friend purchased a car that wouldn't drive off the lot. One of the managers basically told her to f*ck off and refuse to help resolve her issue! Located in a predominantly black neighborhood with predominantly black customers and CLEARLY taking advantage of people is bad business! Spend your money somewhere else! read more

My friend and her husband purchased a vehicle from this place and the piece of junk wouldn't even move off of the lot. REFUND her money!

Real cannot inspect the vehicle fully unless you take it to the auto shop or a dealership after buying the car. All the fancy CARFAX on their website is a complete lied. I have been to two mechanics . One told me the car was sitting in water at one point of time and completely rusted. He would not even chain the breaks on the car. This one mechanic told me it's and hazard to even fix the car. You will need a trillion TDAP tetanus shot if any mechanic touch this vehicle. He said it was completely rust out under this 2010 car and the floor of the car could completely rusted out! The other mechanic that I took the car too said it was completely savaged and recorded a total new car for the floors cause more than what the book value of the car was! Point is they will offer you VA and obtain them for you because most of their cause Will NEVER PASS inspection!! This car is a hazard and I am waiting on my tags before donating maybe they can afford to fix it . Listen to the reviews not yo go here. You will regret it. I have lost 5,700. Please don't be in as rush like me take the bus ! The warranties are through third parties and they will not fix the unfixable damages already done to the car. Please some dealers sale good use cars . I now doing more research and trying all Avenues for a dependable car. Don't gain heartache from places like these. You will fail here. All of their car's already have!!!! read more

First time but they took care of me like family! I don't think I will ever buy another new vehicle again. I found this place by mistake when I didn't even know I wanted a vehicle. How happy I am that I discovered this great little secret that's such a bargain. I'm also sad to know I still have so much time to go on my car payments when I could have gotten such a great deal by going to Woodbridge Public Auto Auction. By the time I pay all this interest, my car won't even be worth as much as I owe. Carlos and Theo are the most honest guys I've ever met when it comes to buying a car. The owner, managers, staff and especially the nice ladies in the Title and Tag department bent over backwards to make sure everything went smoothly. I found my new spot and when I got to the MVA I had no issues with my paperwork. Don't sleep on this place because this is rare to find a place like this. The inventory is amazing! Service is Supreme! read more

Woodbridge Public Auto Auction - Beautiful car purchased at Woodbridge Public Auto Auction - Car Dealers Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

If I could give them zero stars I would. I test drove a bmw 335i and heard noise from the back. I was suspected of stealing from it when turning into the next lot over to dig in the back to locate the weird noise, upon returning the car from a test drive I was banned from being able to return on their property. Overall terrible experience and they gave me too much trouble for just being an auction with overpriced, underserviced cars. read more

If I could give -10 stars, I would. My partner and I shopped there today. We looked at alot of cars, and finally chose one to test drive. We drove a little ways up the road and pulled into a parking lot at a school to turn around. The car shut off and would not restart. I called the place to let them know. I specifically stated that the car I was test driving broke down and will not start. She responds with "someone will probably come get you". PROBABLY! That is unacceptable. I need confirmation. She then says, let me check and make sure, and then comes back to the phone to say someone is on the way. Time goes by, and no one shows up. We end up making a few more calls, and spent a total of 33 minutes waiting. The very last call, they say they didnt know where we were,when each call before that, we told them. Finally someone came to pick us up. Truly a bad experience. read more

I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica for $3200 for the sole purpose of driving for Lyft. The next day the engine light came on and I called Larry.

WHAT A RIP OFF! read more

Paid $4000 for a 2008 jeep compass that fully broke down in less than a month. I'm basically financially ruined at this point. The power steering went out within a few days, the ac/heat never worked, the side mirrors wouldn't adjust, and now it won't start. Thanks WPAA, you fucked me. read more

This was the first time, that I have ever purchased a used car. My friend and I decided to visit: Woodbridge Public Auto Auction. There was an online advertisement regarding a one dollar raffle for a 2008 Honda Civic. Prior to the auto auction, there was free food and drinks for the customers. Senior Sales Associate: Larry "Coach" Colbert was very instrumental regarding the purchase of the car before the scheduled auction time. The administrative staff were very professional regarding the purchase, tags, and etc. I had a positive experience up until it was time to drive my vehicle off the lot. The car keys were no where to be found. Woodbridge Public Auto Auction staff members were totally oblivious to the whereabouts of my car keys. I phoned Senior Sales Associate: Larry "Coach" Colbert via his cellphone and explained my crisis regarding the car keys. Shortly afterwards, an unidentified staff member handed my friend the car keys and walked away with no apology or explanation for the mishap. Within minutes Larry "Coach" Colbert appeared, and was inquiring about my car keys. I told him, that an unidentified staff member handed over the keys without saying a word. Larry identified the staff member as one of Management. My friend and I told Larry about the unprofessional actions of the Manager, who lacked any customer service skills. Larry apologized for the mishap, and for the Manager's behavior. That action placed me in emotional distress, which was upsetting for my friend and I. We both immediately wanted to leave the premises of: Wooodbridge Public Auto Auction. We did not remain for the one dollar raffle of the Honda Civic. I do not believe, I will be visiting and/or referring anyone to: Woodbridge Public Auto Auction. read more

I have had my car now for over a year and although it's had problems, no more than you would expect from a $1200 car that is a '93 model. It gets good gas mileage, so I'm happy enough. The first sales guy I met with was rude and abrasive. I left and said I would have to think hings over. I came back later and met another gentleman who was very friendly and warm. He showed me several cars and suggested that I choose between two that passed inspection and would be safe for my son and I to drive. He handled the paperwork quickly and got the guys in the back to replace the battery. They tried hard to find the faceplate for the stereo with no luck, but that wasn't expensive to fix myself. Overall, not a bad place to go if you are looking for a cheap beater-car. read more

These people are dishonest!!! I test drove a 2013 black Ford Escape with 88000 miles about three weeks ago. The manager stated aloud that the price was $6900 and that price was posted on their website. I called them back a few days later to ask another question about the vehicle and was told it was sold!!!! A few days later the SAME car reappeared on their website for $2000 MORE than what they originally asked for($6900)!!! I called the manager back and he LIED and said it was not the same car. I was the same car because it had the same mileage and also had the SAME scratch on the wheel well finder!!!! The last week of September they got another Black Ford Escape with a bad transmission that ran through the auction. The car did not sale but when i called back a few days later the guy that answered said it was sold. As of today that same car is STILL listed on their website because they DID NOT SELL IT!!!!!Also, be aware that the majority of the cars that they sale have been in ACCIDENTS!!!!!! BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE!!!! read more

These people will sell you a lemon and make sure you are financed before you even get to test drive the car. That was my experience. I went there to SAVE money - I've had to pay more than the car was actually worth to get it to run properly. If you can get a quality used car elsewhere, DO IT! Do NOT waste your time with WPAA. They will not disclose problems with the car; the vehicle I purchased was in an accident and it was not disclosed to me until I took the car to a dealership and they did diagnostic tests; found the Car FAX report that indicated the car had been in an accident. read more

I will NEVER recommend or use WPAA again! I test drove a vehicle and placed a $300 reserve deposit online as suggested by a worker. I was on my way to pick up the vehicle 3 days later and it was sold. These types of practices need to be reported to the Virginia Attorney General for unethical consumer practices at https://oag.state.va.us/ This is completely unethical. I spent time seeking quotes and obtaining insurance just to the vehicle sold and my money was not refunded. I called to inquire why this happened and was told that someone would give me a call back. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM WOOODBRIDGE PUBLIC AUTO AUCTION. I will definitely make a social media page to bring awareness to their business practices. read more
