1st time at Southern. They are honoring the previous dealership, Checkerd Flags promise for Oil and Filter changes, plus State Inspections for life.

Jermaine is one of the best employees there. I came in at 8am to get my car inspected on Saturday. 10 May 2025 and was told it would take awhile. I had a 10 am appointment so needed to leave the dealers by 9:30 to get there on time. Jermaine was very helpful and I was done and gone by 9:35. Thank you for such good service it was truly appreciated.

Great experience

Had a wonderful experience buying a van for my Wife for Mother’s Day . Carly & Russ were exceptional and professional …


I can't speak for the Service or Sales department but after a recent positive experience with the Parts department I am happy to give them 5 stars for their honesty, professionalism, and kindness.


Great experience with Russ, Alex, John, and Travis! I would highly recommend using this team again!

Amazing service from the Southern Newport News location! They were efficient, courteous and have a nice waiting area. Everyone who walked by said hello and the service team kept me updated even as they were walking through finishing with other customers. They even offered the complimentary wash and no other location did. I bought my vehicle from the Greenbriar location and since have had service there and the Norfolk location. NN tops the cake and if I can schedule there I will be sure to. Thank you!

The crew there took care of all my vehicles needs in ample time.
