On Wednesday, May 22nd, I purchased a 2014 Mercedes C300 from Mini of Alexandria at 5990 Duke Street, Alexandria VA. It seemed to be a great deal. The car had less than 25k miles and was reasonably priced. I worked with Matt who came across as a great salesman and seemed to be genuine. He even mentioned they always sell great used vehicles because they want great reviews and returning customers. About 4 days after purchasing the vehicle (no warranty was included because they are not a certified Mercedes dealer), I took it to a certified Mercedes dealer who said that the car was in excellent condition overall but had a leak in the engine. A leak that was there for a while based on the residue. I immediately took the vehicle back to Mini of Alexandria to look into the concern. I was told that they would not repair it because it would not have passed inspection if it was previously damaged and they do not honor the standard 5 day return policy in VA. The Mercedes dealer service center made it clear that an engine leak would not have stopped the car from passing inspection so in my opinion Mini of Alexandria failed to effectively diagnose the car prior to its sale (or they did not reveal the repair needed). Ultimately I was stuck with a $1500 repair on a newly purchased car with no remorse from Matt or anyone else at Mini of Alexandria. They even refused to look at the car to access the damage. My advice is to stay clear of this dealer. Once they get your money they do not care about anything that follows. It was very disappointing that they did not do more to assist as it was apparent that the leak was old due to the residue. I'm thankful that it wasnt an overly expensive issue and that I can get it resolved but suppose the repair was more extensive? I plan to seek legal counsel forrestitution as this entire situation is unfair. Do not go to Mini of Alexandria if you want a reputable dealer. ...read more

The Hyundai brand has just been named as the greenest automaker in the United States, triumphing over other well-known environmentally friendly automobile brands. This means that you can start to reduce your carbon footprint by buying a car from Alexandria Hyundai, our trustedVirginia Hyundai dealer. The Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit scientific research group, named the vehicle company number one in its latest Automaker Rankings report. It has even dethroned previous reigning champion Honda Motor Co., which was at the top of this list since the report was first published in 2000. It’s Easy Being Green “[The report] acknowledges our continued work and commitment to reducing emissions in our efforts to create a better environment for all,” Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor said. He also said they will happily continue to their efforts to both reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. There are a number of reasons it climbed up the ranks and took the number one spot in being the greenest automaker. The introduction of the Hyundai Sonata hybrid in 2011 significantly increased fuel efficiency since the last report, and it’s the only automaker on the list that doesn’t sell gas-guzzling pickup trucks in the U.S. market. VirginiaHyundai Sonatadrivers can tell you that the fuel efficiency increase was also due in part thanks to the decision to drop a six-cylinder version of the mid-sized sedan in favor of smaller ones such as the 2.4L GDI DOHC 16-valve Inline 4-cylinder engine or the 2.0L Turbo-GDI DOHC 16-valve Inline 4-cylinder engine. So do yourself and future generations a favor by purchasing a vehicle from a brand that cares about the earth we live on. Not only can you make a difference, but you also get to drive a stylish vehicle that will save you so much money on gas. If you buy one of these automobiles, we promise you won’t be disappointed.

Traveling during the holidays is rough on your mind, body and your car, so the experts here at Alexandria Hyundai, our respectable Virginia Hyundai dealer, are here to offer some advice for traveling during the holidays so you can enjoy what’s really important, like gatherings, family and gifts. We listened to people who regularly travel long distances during the holidays and got some great traveling tips to share. These might not always work, but they can definitely increase your odds of a less stressful and much more pleasant trip during the hustle and bustle of the crazy holiday season. Keep it Together During the Holiday Season First things first, it’s important to keep in mind that there really is no such thing as an undiscovered shortcut, especially during the holidays. The only course of action is to find an alternate route with a road less travelled or to bypass roads that are notorious for bumper-to-bumper traffic. In Washington DC, the worst travel zone is the 29-mile corridor of I-95 south of the Capital Beltway. A common misconception that people tend to believe is that its best to leave the day before the actual holiday, because they think there will be less traffic. Fact of the matter is, those are the busiest times to start heading towards your destination. If you really want to avoid traffic, it is best to leave on the morning of the actual holiday. Aside from your mental health, your vehicle’s health is just as important; you must make sure your vehicle is up to date with all the proper maintenance, and if you’re traveling far, make sure your car is filled with all the proper fluids and change the oil if necessary. You should also make sure your tires are full and have no significant wear and tear. If anything does go wrong with your car while traveling, you can rest easy knowing that Hyundai Roadside Assurance covers your car. If you would like more information on traveling during the holidays and how to care for your car, feel free to browse our website or give us a call at 703-535-6840. ...read more
