Since May 2000, when The Auto Connection first opened its doors in Norfolk, Virginia, we have helped used car buyers over 20,000 times with the purchase of quality used cars and used trucks - often helping them rebuild their credit or establish it for the first time.
It is easy to see why car shoppers from places diverse as Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, Smithfield, Suffolk, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Richmond, Petersburg, Chester, Henrico County, Chesterfield County, Fort Lee, the Eastern Shore of Virginia, northeastern North Carolina, even northern Virginia and Washington, DC have made The Auto Connection their choice for quality used cars.
In July 2007, The Auto Connection expanded our used car sales beyond Hampton Roads for the first time - expanding into the Richmond used car market - when we bought the former Whitten Brothers Lincoln-Mercury property and facility at 10920 Midlothian Turnpike. This 6-acre "Super Store" allows us to sell our quality used cars and trucks to many in the greater Richmond area, including the surrounding areas of Fort Lee, Petersburg, Hopewell, Chester, Henrico and Chesterfield counties - all of Richmond.
A year later, The Auto Connection expanded operations again in Hampton Roads when we purchased and opened our Newport News used car lot at 9707 Jefferson Blvd. This makes it much more convenient for used car buyers in Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg, Yorktown to take advantage of the good deals and credit rebuilding offered by The Auto Connection.
In 2011, The Auto Connection added to our expansion of selling used cars in the Norfolk area when we bought the former Kimnach Ford property and facility at 6401 E. Virginia Beach Blvd., just across the street from our first Norfolk location. This new 9-acre "Super Store" includes nearly 30 service bays - allowing us to dramatically increase our service operations. This extra room means not only more quality used cars for sale, but also an expanded line of quality used trucks, SUVs and crossovers – more than 4 times what we previously offered.
In 2013, The Auto Connection added to our expansion of selling used cars in the Virginia Beach area when we bought the former Virginia Beach Dodge property and facility at 3443 Virginia Beach Blvd., near Sam's Club. This new 5-acre "Super Store" includes additional service bays - allowing us to dramatically increase our automotive service operations for our Virginia Beach customers. This extra room means still more quality used cars, trucks and SUVs for sale to the greater Hampton Roads market.
As Virginia's largest "Buy-Here Pay-Here" used car dealership, we know what it takes to help people re-establish their credit. With our "Premier Collection", and financing through major banks, credit unions and secondary financing institutions, as well as our special "Second Chance" financing, just about anyone can qualify, including: Bad Credit, No Credit, First Time Buyers, Cash Sales, Trade-Ins, Military Financing and Special Financing.
All of our vehicles undergo a 101 Point Vehicle Inspection, which we refer to as Mack Mack's "Paw of Approval", before they are offered for sale. We also offer third-party Extended Service Warranties for added peace of mind from costly service repairs.
We at The Auto Connection pride ourselves on commitment to our Customers, and also to our Employees. Our excellent Customer Service and dedication to long-term Customer Satisfaction is the main reason our customers return to us for their next car, or recommend us to family, co-workers and friends. Many of our employees have been with us for 6-8 years; a few have been with us from the beginning. This low turnover means that our employees get to know our customers personally, and our customers get to know our employees.
