Sales: This department was the only bright point of the entire interaction. This group was very low pressure & the salespeople didn't Stalk you on the lot. They gave me a business card, let me walk the lot & then answered all my of questions in detail. Now, to caveat this statement with: They are not going to offer extra information that you should be made aware of about the vehicles. When you find a vehicle you are interested in test driving, ask them if they have any issue with you using a “Fixd” OBD scanner. If they say “No, you can’t do that”, walk away. Finance: This is where the Shine starts to fade a LOT & the experience rapidly goes downhill. As with most used car dealerships, they will throw quite a bit of numbers at you stating; This is one of the best deals I have seen this lender provide. You are getting a really great deal! Just sign here. Don't believe it, if possible, go in with your own financing already in place. They will tell you that they can get you a better APR or monthly payment by going through their lenders. Sandra, from Norfolk, flat out told me they won’t take client provided funding/funds, because Sullivan’s won’t receive a kickback & that is how they make most of their money in these deals. If you want to look at what they can provide, please do so. Just remember that they are going to try to get you to go with one of their lenders, because they get something extra out of the deal. Now, most likely they are going to push a Service Contract on used vehicles. If you remember to; ask what company they are going through & if they say “DKP”, tell them “No, Thank you” & you will be going with a more reputable company. The Contract will drive the monthly price up anywhere from $50 to $325, depending on the coverage you request, on certain vehicles. Go with Assurant or CarShield, their prices are better, they are more reputable, & they are accepted just about everywhere. DKP will tell you that you can go to any repair facility, this is not true. DKP will find a way to deny a claim. Service: What experienced Automotive Technician can’t put an oil filter on properly? What Experienced Automotive Technician doesn’t remember to tighten 3 out of the 5 Lug Nuts? What experienced Automotive Technician doesn’t know where the battery is located in the vehicle they are repairing, especially if they have said they needed to disconnect the battery to work on the vehicle? I could literally go on & on. I know that marking up a price on a part is commonplace in the Automotive repair world. However, marking up the price & charging more for Labor should not be norm. Not only do they treat clients like they are imbecilic, Jay has thrown his Techs under the bus,”. This Dept will always push back on any Claim that you try to submit to DKP. Their reasons will stretch from the part isn’t covered to just outright lying about how the damage occurred in the first place. The only person I have come to trust in this Department is the Woman at the Service Desk. She has, on several occasions, tried to help me when Jay wouldn’t. At this time; the Service Manager is a man by the name of Jay. I have personally caught Jay lying to me 3 times. This prompted me to make a call to the BBB, who amazed me with where they can place cameras under the hood. Even if you don’t contact the BBB, there is a very easy way to tell if Jay is lying: His lips will be moving & words will be coming out of his mouth. Sullivan’s - Norfolk, Va While I haven’t purchased a vehicle from this location, if their Sales dept is indicative of what the overall process would be like, then they are not much better than the Fredericksburg site. I wouldn’t put too much faith in this company overall. I gave this review 1 star, because of my interaction with that one individual, in the Service Department, at Sullivan’s Fredericksburg. Also, I only dealt with 1 person while trying to purchase a vehicle from the Va Beach Site. Also, they will run your credit without your OK.

SHADY I was looking at a Blue 2019 Lexus GX 460, with

SHADY I was looking at a Blue 2019 Lexus GX 460, with 52xxx miles. I called and spoke with Madyson and asked for their best price out the door. She sent me a buyer’s order and I was satisfied, so I set up an appointment for 2 days later. The next morning, I called and spoke with Donald (manager) and asked if they would be willing to put it on a lift so that I could inspect it. He agreed and said it was no problem and that they wanted me to be confident in my purchase. I was feeling great about these folks until… 3 hours later I get a text message from Madyson stating there was a mistake and the price on “Their” website had it listed for $1K more. She was right, they changed it between my call with Donald and her text to me. The price she quoted is still reflected on Cars.com and Autotrader. My guess is the vehicle has known issues, and they don’t have any more room to negotiate, but who knows. Nobody likes to play games when making a car purchase and for a second, I thought they might be different than most dealers, I was wrong. What a shame!

Bought Volvo and yes I know it's a used car but paid

Bought Volvo and yes I know it's a used car but paid about $30k for the car had it a month and a half and drove 1500 miles and antifreeze leaked everywhere. I'm 3 hours away from them. When I called and talked about it with them I said should I take this to Volvo they said no just a local repair shop that I trust cause it would be cheaper. Then after I had it repaired and called them back and sent the invoice they said oh you should have let us pick up the car on our roll back and let us fix the car, we won't pay after a shop repairs? Well that was never offered to me at all was just told take it to a shop. So much for doing business with a nice Christian shop... If I was told this from the beginning I would have let them pick up the car and had them repair the car... it was never offered I feel it was just something for them to say after the fact cause they didn't want to pay to beginning with...

I can't say enough good things about this dealership!

I can't say enough good things about this dealership! Sullivan's is family owned and operated and it shows. This is the forth car we have purchased from them. They are extremely fair and always take good care of us. They stand behind their cars and I am so grateful to have a place to go that I can trust.

We had an excellent experience at Sullivan Auto Trading

We had an excellent experience at Sullivan Auto Trading Inc. Everyone assisting us was friendly, helpful, and professional. We've purchased two cars from them, and even though we're an hour away, we would probably go to Sullivan first when looking for our next car.

Tengo un vehículo Hiunday Tucson 2019.

Tengo un vehículo Hiunday Tucson 2019. Fue muy mal y el motor se rompió. Este concesionario reconoció mi coche el 19 de diciembre de 2023 y lo llevó para verificar la garantía. Y después de varios días lo llevaron al motor pohanca en FREDERISBURG exactamente el 5 de enero de 2024. Desde el día del daño, solo me dicen que sea paciente y nada más. He pagado cinco cuotas de 400 dólares en cuotas más cien seguros sin poder disfrutar de mi vehículo. Tampoco me dieron la opción de un coche de préstamo. La verdad es que no recomiendo a estos distribuidores porque cuando te van a vender te tratan como a un rey. pero el postventa es muy malo. No te ayudan en nada. Además, nunca entiendo que los coches Hyundai son los peores. Y la garantía es peor. No entiendes Respuesta del propietario Hace 4 horas Esta reseña no es de ningún cliente nuestro ni de nadie con quien hayamos hecho negocios. amigo, el coche fue comprado a nombre de Álvaro Salazar Ospina. y siempre que se llame al concesionario. Nos dijeron que no tenías nada que hacer. Que esto ya correspondía al distribuidor de pohanka Hiunday FREDERISBURG. Habló con la Sra. Vanessa y nunca devolvió ninguna llamada. Ojalá los tiempos de respuesta al comprador fueran así de eficientes para decir que es mentira que se compró el vehículo en este lugar. El vehículo se compró el día 19 de diciembre de 2022
