5.0David Minor5 months ago

We had a great experience in buying our 2010 honda civic from James river auto sales. Christian and the team are all friendly,helpful,and honest. There were a few minor issues with the car that they offered to take care of at no cost,even. The process was so smooth and easy,with no back and forth games that most dealerships employ. Honest prices, and upfront presentation of the vehicle history. I definitely recommend.

Tonight we bought my son his first vehicle, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Christian was by far the best salesperson we’ve worked with! Upfront, honest, patient, and incredibly responsive through the entire process. I had a LOT of questions and phone calls (do I dare say new best friend?), and he answered every single one without ever making us feel like a burden. He made sure my son got the first car he truly wanted, and the entire buying process was the easiest and smoothest car buying experience I’ve had so far. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend asking for Christian if you’re looking for a vehicle!

My experience with James River Auto was so smooth and nothing short of amazing. Christian and Louis are solid human beings nothing but genuine business and transparency from start to finish during this process. It’s very rare at any car Dealer to have that level of transparency and care. They went the extra mile to make sure I got what I needed and I’m grateful for that. 20 out of 10 recommend rocking with these guys. I can’t say enough about how great they are . The cars & prices speak for themselves but the people behind the business make it even better . Again 20 out of 10

We bought our son a very nice Mazda from this shop for Christmas as a surprise for him to have his very first car. The car was in pristine condition andthey made sure everything was clean and polished. I will admit that there was an issue with the car starting shortly after our purchase however they were eager to get the problem fixed. The car has been running great since then and we really appreciate finally finding a real dealer who actually wants to provide an excellent vehicle. Thank you!
