This is the best kept secret in Charlottesville when it comes to buying a quality used car.

I had an emergency situation with a rental this weekend and contacted CMA and had a wonderful…read moreexperience with them. They helped me out in a pinch and with late notice. Thanks to the team, I was able to safely return my car. Thank you Ka-tari, Nate and Wyatt for giving me peace of mind and excellent service during a very stressful experience.

Experience following an auto accident leaves me with questions about CMA policies and management…read more A CMA executive driving a dealership vehicle hit our car, was found to be at fault, changed his story, and stood by, allowing questionable actions to delay resolution of our claim. Why am I wary? (Based on reports from my husband, Virginia state police, insurance company representatives, and personal observations): 1 -- Our vehicle was hit from behind on I-64 east. The CMA executive was cited by police for following too close. No one else was ticketed. After saying he couldn't stop, the CMA executive changed his story and blamed a lane change by my husband for causing the accident. Completely untrue. 2 -- The CMA executive had no insurance or registration info with him at the scene, and later provided a contact who failed to respond to multiple messages. After about a week of silence, we contacted the dealership and were told not to call again, but to wait to hear from the contact provided. More time passed, and still no response. Eventually, research revealed the "contact" was a former employee at CMA's insurance sales brokerage, neither an agent nor active employee of an insurance carrier able to process our claim for damages. 3 -- More research led us to an actual insurance carrier for the dealership and vehicle which hit our car. CMA documents showed the vehicle was not listed in the dealership inventory where the at-fault driver had an office, but was assigned to inventory for a dealership in Colonial Heights. Colonial Heights said they were not involved, another contradiction of documents CMA had provided. We filed a claim with a different insurer CMA had listed, then learned that carrier had been instructed to drop it so CMA could use their third party administrator to "process" our claim. For over a month, messages were ignored, and there was no reimbursement of towing expenses, no authorization for repairs, and no replacement vehicle to drive -- completely unlike the experience of the CMA executive who was driving another dealer-owned vehicle in no time. The CMA executive then advised us to file a claim with our own carrier, meaning we would be covering the deductible and also running the risk of a premium increase due to the claim, even though we were not at fault. CMA's third party admininstrator stalled inquiries by our insurance carrier as well, failing to return phone calls and using various tactics which resulted in delays resolving the claim. It was during this time that the CMA executive changed his story and alleged my husband caused the accident by changing lanes even though both vehicles had been traveling in the left lane for some time prior to the collision. 5 -- CMA's third party administrator filed a request for mediation, seeking to prove their client was NOT at fault despite the police citation and testimony from my husband. This further delayed settling the claim. Ultimately, mediation ruled that the CMA executive was at fault. 6 -- The BMW my husband and I had bought a few months before the accident was totaled, and we were unable to replace it with a comparable make, model year, and mileage vehicle despite searches in VA, NC, and MD. Our insurance carrier can legally negotiate to recover company losses, but we're on our own trying to recover from CMA's third party administrator who's already proven difficult and uncooperative. So much time, money, and aggravation for an innocent party because CMA refused to do the right thing. We wrote to the CMA President and CEO and heard nothing back from her either. Not a great first impression of CMA, particularly when, as a new manager, the CMA executive emphasized values such as "fairness", "accountability", and "eliminating excuses" in an interview, and the CEO was quoted as saying, "Spread love wherever you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier," when interviewed after receiving an automotive dealership reward.

I had an outstanding service experience with my 2025 Honda Ridgeline at Flow Honda of…read moreCharlottesville. Technician John Grooms and service advisor Tamara Charron both went above and beyond. John's attention to detail was especially impressive. He noticed that the rear differential service that had supposedly been performed previously at Honda of Slidell, Louisiana had in fact not been completed--the factory markings were still perfectly aligned. Catching something like that demonstrates a level of professionalism and thoroughness that gives me tremendous confidence in the work being done on my truck. Tamara Charron was equally fantastic. She was delightful, immensely courteous, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire visit. She made everything easy and pleasant, kept me informed, and ensured I had a great experience from start to finish. I was happy to have some additional maintenance performed to keep my Ridgeline in top shape, especially with my road trip across the United States. Knowing that there are people like John and Tamara looking after my vehicle gives me peace of mind. Flow Honda of Charlottesville has earned my trust, and I highly recommend them for their professionalism, honesty, and exceptional customer service.

I had an extremely frustrating experience at Flow Honda Charlottesville. I had a 10:00 a.m…read more appointment on Wednesday after receiving a letter from Honda informing me that my CR-V needed a software update that could be completed for free at any Honda dealership. Since I was also due for an oil change soon, I asked them to do that while the car was there. When I dropped the car off, I was told the software update could take 3-4 hours. I initially planned to wait, but because of the estimated time, I decided to leave the car overnight and pick it up the following morning. When I called first thing Thursday morning to arrange pickup, I was surprised to learn that they had not even started working on my car yet. A few hours later, I received a call saying they had discovered what appeared to be rodent damage, including damage around the fuel tank. I was told my car was unsafe to drive and that the entire fuel tank needed to be replaced. The total estimate was approximately $6,600. Given the size of that estimate, I thanked them and said I wanted to get a second opinion before authorizing the repair. They said that was completely fine, and I arranged to pick up my car. When I arrived, I asked to confirm that I was paying for the oil change and whatever diagnostic work they had performed. That was when I learned that they had never done the oil change. I then asked whether they had at least completed the software update (aka the entire reason I brought the car to a dealership in the first place) They had not done that either. Instead, I was charged $199 for diagnostic work that I never brought the car in requesting. I completely understand that unexpected problems can be discovered while a car is being serviced, and I appreciate being informed if there is a genuine safety concern. What I do not understand is how my car could be kept for two full days, neither of the services I actually requested could be completed (in fact NO service was completed) and I could still walk away owing $199. The entire experience left me extremely frustrated and disappointed.

Making a purchase or withdrawal out of state without previously notifying them of my travel plans. Annual charitable contributions. Paying a friend's fines to get a bench warrant lifted off him. Once they locked my account at the beginning of a three-day weekend, with no customer service available, when I was planning to take a long trip but changed my mind at the last minute. Took them 18 hours to send an automated call to my landline, which gave me the only opportunity to unlock the account. If that had happened while I was on the road, I'd have had no money for gas, food, hotel, who knows what could have happened to me. Another time I was at O'Hare and my card stopped working. They called my home phone number instead of my cell! To see if I was in Chicago! I found out they used a third party service to monitor for potential fraud and do this sort of thing. I finally got sick of it and pulled my six figures out and put them in a bank that lets me resolve any situations like this instantly through their phone app rather than making me wait hours or days. A UVA Credit Union exec left a panicked message on my phone - finally got someone's attention! - and I left him one on his telling about all the different times this had happened, how often I was given promises and assurances that amounted to nothing, and ended by asking him: "How many second chances to you think you're entitled to?" Will never, ever go back to them.

Answered all questions I had and sent me pictures of the truck. She came in on her day off so we could look at and test drive it. Eventually ended up buying it the same day. From the minute we got to the dealership we felt very welcomed and comfortable. She let us test drive it as a family. When we got back I had a couple questions and concerns so she grabbed her manager and he worked with us. Financing was easy as well. Friendly staff. Offered us water and coffee while we waited for the paperwork to start. We had a couple questions and another guy stepped in to help us on financing.

I…read morereviewed the Carfax, negotiated the removal of add-ons, discussed financing, arranged an independent inspection, and scheduled a test drive for September 25. On the morning of the appointment, I specifically confirmed that the vehicle was ready and was told it had been "pulled up" for me. I then advised that I would arrive around 11:00 AM after making a 1.5-hour journey. While already travelling, I was asked whether I wanted to leave a deposit to hold the vehicle. I declined, explaining that I intended to inspect the vehicle properly and arrange an independent inspection before making a final decision. When I arrived, I was told the vehicle was unavailable because another customer was test-driving it, going through paperwork, and had first refusal. I was then asked if I wanted to wait. I declined and left. What disappointed me most was that I had specifically asked to be informed if anything changed regarding the vehicle's availability before I made the trip. Had I been told the vehicle was with another customer, I simply would not have travelled. Shortly after leaving, I was informed that the vehicle was still available. I fully understand that dealerships have multiple interested buyers. What I found frustrating was travelling 1.5 hours based on a confirmed appointment, only to find the vehicle unavailable when I arrived. I also found it disappointing that despite several days of direct communication with the salesperson, arranging paperwork, financing, and the appointment itself, I never actually met the individual I had been dealing with. The vehicle may be excellent. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to find out. I expected a higher standard of professionalism, communication, and respect for a customer's time from an established dealership. Would I buy from Malloy Ford of Charlottesville after this experience? No.
