I see that a lot of people reviewed on how this business scammed them. But probably didn't take it to the court because it's pricey. I opened a court claim. It cost me about $400, but I don't care even if I lose. I'm gonna show them the consequence. I got scammed by them too today. They told me they checked with my insurance and I'm fully covered. They ended up charging me $585. They gave me no receipt and no insurance paper to fill out. When ai complained to them. The owner blocked me and truck driver blocked me. When I checked with my insurance I was told that they have no connection with them and they can only reimburse up to $100. I have screenshotted and recorded the call. Wait for the call for court claim.

Text message with the owner, Brandon Michael Payne

Total scam! Usaa contacted them to tow my truck, after waiting six hours I spoke with the owner, Brandon Michael Payne, who told me the truck had already been picked up and taken to the automotive repair place; I was still sitting in it waiting for them to arrive. Not only does this place upsell, take only cash, but they also lie. STAY AWAY!

I was given a cost of 45-60$ to have my car towed from Lorton to a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Tysons with a lockout (no additional fee) through text. Once they arrived they changed the price to $760 and did not open my door for me (which I asked for). They blocked my number and drove off after unhooking my car. Tow Kingz Va refused to take my credit card and attempted to drive off with my vehicle on camera. The driver's name was Tyler, and the owner was just as disrespectful and rude as the rest of their staff. I filed a complaint and will be taking them to court. This company is a scam and needs to have their license revoked. Report all scams to Virginia Attorney General Consumer Affairs Division. Here's the link https://www.oag.state.va.us/consumercomplaintform/form/start

These guys are a rip off. I see in Google maps that they are closed. I really hope they are. Horrible service, and poor quality employees.

About $110 a mile for the tow. Cash or cash app only. The car broke down in the middle of a very busy road. Enuf said.

I live in Ohio but had been searching for a specific-option Mercedes GL SUV for a couple months…read more VIP Auto had an ad on eBay and I called with a number of questions. Hamid sent me all details on the vehicle then went out of his way to meet me early one morning in Northern Virginia to show me the truck before I hopped on a flight out of DCA. The SUV was exactly what I was looking for and exactly as it was described. Hamid then spent a week taking it to a local Mercedes dealer for me and having some maintenance and other items taken care of before my family and I flew back two weeks later to pick it up, have it for vacation driving, and then drive back to Ohio. Paying almost $50k for a luxury SUV from out of state was concerning, but VIP Auto was excellent with communication, paperwork, and scheduling. Hamid is very professional and came through on everything, far exceeding our expectations. I would most certainly buy another car from VIP Auto again or recommend them to friends. Even for buying out of state, the description and pics of the vehicle were fully accurate and Hamid answered all questions I had (and I had a lot!).

I don't know where to start. Reached out to VIP Auto and was greeted by Mallie. He's not a bad guy;…read morehowever, the vehicle I received was in horrible condition. I purchased a vehicle sight unseen and had a mobile pre-inspection done. I'll get to that later. If I had flown to VA, I would have saved myself the headache and the tens of thousands in negative equity. There were many scratches, dents, and touch-up paint all over the vehicle ($2,000). Cheap aftermarket AMG replica rims with snow tires ($3,500). Lower center chrome trim damaged ($250), driver headlight cracked. The interior was also in terrible shape. Cigarette burn in the headliner, missing rear console door ($185), overly discolored leather seats, rips in the leather, and if there is a clip to hold something together, it was either broken or missing. Two main clips that were broken and missing held the chrome strips on the door handles ($740), a car that is supposed to be quiet was filled with rattling noise when driving. After 3 months with the vehicle, the check engine light came on. Hooked it up to the computer; 3 cylinders are misfiring ($1,000 in parts, work done myself). The dealer wanted to charge $4,000. Rear window stopped working ($385). The mobile mechanic stated that the brakes were in excellent condition; however, they were as thin as a sheet of paper and squealed even when the transporter was backing the vehicle from the truck ($1,500). After five months, a significant leak occurred from one of the coolant reservoirs. I didn't know how much that cost because I had to sell the vehicle after having it for 6 months and driving less than 2k miles. My total was $46,560, and I sold it for $27,500 because it was in such poor condition. Almost $20k in negative equity makes me want to vomit! PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!

I totally agree with Barry R. What is different for me? Stuck in the parking lot at 2am. 2009…read morenot cranking. New battery. Jumping did no good. Knew it had to be electrical. A co-worker brought me home, out of her way. Woke up the next morning thinking, I've got a good job even with it challenging. But I need reliable transportation to keep this job. A friend came by to pick me up 2 weeks earlier. "You've got to do something.". She packed me in her car that rainy day and headed north. We both know Amherst County. First stop was VA Select, and a young woman came out. Okay, I can deal with this. But we checked out a couple of prices before she even got to us. No way with my credit and dead car issues. I waited for VA Select to open. Called. Emily Woody answered. Explained I need to buy a reliable car, but I don't have transportation to va Select. She mentioned filling out online credit application when she got back to me. I said no, I'm not going to do that. I don't even know if you have what I need. I don't even know what I need. Can you send me a pic of your driver's license? Yes. Did you get it? Yes ma'am. When can you be ready? I'm ready now. 10 minutes or so later I'm climbing in a big pickup. Emily had told me cheapest car on the lot was a 2017 Ford Fiesta. She showed me that, and two others in the same ballpark. I just felt happy looking at it. Comparing all three. The hatchback really sold me. Okay, my ride that was just too much for me to keep sinking money into as a single older woman. Was a Volvo 5 speed turbo that my son brought me after my old 240 started giving problems. The story doesn't end with Emily and me going out for a test drive. Silly as this sounds, I look at her and say, so you're going to drive it? Hey, I'm not used to new cars. She hands me the key and says, No, you're the one considering buying this car. You're driving. She cranked up the ac, turned on the radio, and when we pulled out heading north on 29, I floored it. Nope, not a turbo. But, that little car moved like one little bullet. I was satisfied. Story is not over. Sent second son pic of new car and told him about how much Emily was a help. He says, "Yeah, she's nice.". What do you mean she's nice? Like thinking he went to school with her, or maybe her parents? "Nah. She sold us our cars." Not over yet. I'm sitting in the parking lot, relaxing before time to go in. And a young girl stops at my window. "Is this a 2017 Ford Fiesta?? "Yes.". "I saw the red Dot on the back. You got it from VA Select.". Yes. I looked at this car. Went home to think about it. Came back next day and was told it was gone." In a way, I felt bad. But, I really don't. I know Va Select will help her anyway they can.

Had been searching for a vehicle for my son for almost 2 months when I noticed a low mile 2019…read moreDodge Charger on their site with the specs we wanted. Only problem was that dealer was 4 hours away. Called and spoke to Nathan at around 4:00pm. That's when the over the top exceptional customer service experience began. We had recently thought we found a vehicle only to arrive at dealer and find the car was sold. Expressed our concern that this might happen again. Nathan explained the VA Select Policy of not "holding" a car if someone came into lot and wanted to purchase. What he did do, was commit to letting us know upon closing that evening (via text), that the car was in fact still available and we could commit to driving there in the morning. But that wasn't good enough for Nathan. He also went the extra mile and took a picture of a scratch he noticed on the vehicle and sent us pictures. Said he would ask the body shop to buff it out first thing in the morning. We texted Nathan when we departed our house at 6:30am (they don't open until 9) and he was then able to remove it from the lot so no one could purchase since we were now enroute. Upon arriving to the location after 4-hour drive, the first thing we say at the entrance was a shiny, newly detailed Dodge Charger. My son was very excited and Nathan proceeded to give us a 30-minute certificate to do a test drive. This completely suprised us, as our experience had been drive around the block with saleperson hovering in back seat. Son was convinced it was the car after driving it for 5 minutes. Upon our return, Nathan offered us beverages and escorted us to his desk for the daunting "sign and make it yours experience". Not once did we feel pressure. No haggling was required (we knew this before we came), and Nathan patiently answered each and every question. Once the paperwork was complete and ready for us to go to the financing department, we all went outside and talked about the car some more. Nathan shared several personal stories with our family and we were happy that we had him as our salesperson. But it didn't stop there. Once Finanace was ready for us, Nathan took it upon himself to take the vehicle to the the nearby service station and top of the gas tank. Outstanding. The financing process was quick and painless as we had pre-approval for the loan. Robert Seeney (F & I Manager) took over from there and made sure all the paperwork was in order since we were from out of state. He was extremely professional and had the personality of someone who took the customer service experience seriously. Bottom line is that our experience with Virginia Select Auto was exceptionally pleasant and we would hope that everyone would get the opportunity to work with Nathan if in the market to purchase a car. Their no-pressure process is something we will never forget. Thank you VA Select Auto!
