I’ve never had a better experience purchasing a car anywhere else than here. Ernest, the owner of VE Auto was extremely helpful and transparent about what he was selling. As soon as you introduce yourself to him you immediately get the impression that he is a genuine businessman who has nothing but concern for his customers satisfaction. I drove from the other coast just to see the Ford he was selling, and it was well worth it. I’d recommend not just VE Auto, but the owner as well for who he is and what he does.And not just that. I’m the type of person who would like to get the car professionally inspected by the manufacturer’s dealership before purchasing, and to my surprise Ernest had no problem with it! He was willing to do whatever it took for me to feel assured that I was confident with what I was getting.Overall a fantastic experience, and would recommend to anyone looking for a vehicle in promising condition.

DEFINITELY BUY YOUR CAR HERE!!! I had the best buying experience with Earnest. He owns and operates an outstanding business. Professional, honest, helpful and goes above and beyond to make you feel confident with your purchase. He even brought the car to the Ford dealer to be evaluated for me. I traveled over 2 hours to purchase the car here, and I would do it again and again, due to the exceptional experience. Earnest and VE Auto Gallery is THE ONLY PLACE TO GO FOR YOUR NEXT CAR PURCHASE! My Sincere Thanks Earnest.

Pleasure doing business with Ernest. Straight up guy. Great condition cars , great prices. Easy process; I was in and out well under an hour. The car did experience a minor issue (still in great driving condition) due to a part that needed replacing and Ernest was able to take care of that without hesitation, no hassle. Would definitely do business again.

WOW, what an amazing car buying experience. My wife and I purchased a VOLVO in phenomenal condition Ernest was so knowledgeable, helpful, and truly cared about are needs. I spent 5 years in the auto business and today was truly a memorable one with vehicles priced right and in superb condition. Thank you very much for a great day! Paul and Jenny

Don’t believe the negative reviews. Ernest was nothing but friendly and fair to me. I bought a 2012 Audi A6 3.0T from him about a month ago. The car was by no means perfect, but it was in relatively good condition for an 11 year old vehicle and it was definitely priced to sell. I did my due diligence by paying for a PPI prior to purchasing the vehicle and it checked out other than needing tires. I walked in with the intention to negotiate but before I could even do so, Ernest wrote me up at the exact price that I was hoping to buy the car for. So far the car hasn’t given me any issues, but if it does eventually, it won’t be Ernest’s fault. That’s to be expected when you buy a used vehicle with nearly 100k miles. I’d rate my experience at 10/10 and would definitely buy another car from Ernest in the future and would have no problem recommending anybody else to do so as well.

My parents bought their Saab from Ernest so when they told me about this 9-3, I jumped on it. He was great and took care of everything for me over the phone, and he even held it for me with no deposit. I’ve had it for about a month now and I’m in love! Thanks Ernest!

VE auto has inventory online with price listed and out the door prices. Never need to look any where else for a used car Ernest has if you have the cash to buy. He is a honest and dependable an sets appointment to see his customers need. Will shop here again when in need for a good used car. Thanks Ernest for the Mercedes!!

Came down from NC to pick up a car. I was made aware of a problem with the car on the way there and it was fixed just as quickly. That's all you can ask for in a car purchase honesty and solutions where needed. He's rock solid in my book, no excuses just results. Used cars are complicated creatures, have REALISTIC expectations and bring a mechanic. Nobody has time to fiddle all day with every car that comes on their lot looking for issues that arent there currently and he isnt psychic. Solid car, solid experience, solid owner.

Experience matters and this was an easy transaction. Dealer stayed late to allow me to take the car that day. Fair pricing. Pleasure to do business with. Highly recommend.

Been dealing with Ernest for various years now. Always an easy transaction. You choose the car, you go to see it and the keys are handed to you immediately.Cars are good and you can always count on Ernest being fair. I recommend.

Other than Ernesto needing to be more friendly, nevertheless he was upfront and transparent. I purchased the Saab 9-5 back in March. Ernesto even offered to pick me up from the airport. When I brought the car to St. Pete, I took it to a local mechanic. They kept it all day. They said it would cost $8K to repair everything that needed to be done to it. My heart sunk. They said the bottom was completely rusted out. One can only imagine what was going through my head about being taken. So, I took it to another mechanic. He called me up and said, 'you have a gem!' He assured me that it wasn't rusted, and there were no major issues. I have been driving the car now since March. It handles very well. It's so much fun to drive. Ernesto has done me right. I offered to send him a deposit on the car until I could hop on a plane to see the car. He said the deposit was not necessary. He trusted me. I trusted him. Thanks Ernesto for working with me in securing the Saab until I could get to West Palm Beach to purchase it. Steve

DON’T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS - I just purchased a vehicle this past weekend from VE Auto and it was the best car buying experience of my life. From the first phone call, Ernest was attentive and determined to help me find a great used car. Same experience, I got to the lot, car was running and he simply said “Drive it”. I knew right then Ernest was an open book and a dealer I could trust. Didn’t end up buying that first test drive, but purchased a different car that day and left very happy. Thanks again Ernest!!! Niech żyje Polska

I found this car while vacationing in Florida. Called Earnie and went to take a look. He handed me the keys and said “Drive it!” Just like that!. He was straight up about everything and made it the easiest car deal ever. I never met him before but felt completely confident in his truthfulness. I bought the car and drove it back to WV without any concern that it was a good solid car! It’s nice to see fair honest people do still exist! Thanks Earnie for my new summer fun driver❤️✔️

I was a little hesitant about buying a used car from anywhere other than a big dealer. But I will NEVER go to a big dealer as long as Ernest is in business. There was no pressure by him at all he let us take the car and go. A trust worthy man trusts other people. The car was beautiful, low miles and runs great. I want to wait a few weeks before I wrote a review. Can't find a thing wrong with it. It was for my son so I was really afraid of getting him a lemon. I will buy many more cars from Ernest in the future. Quality cars honest guy great price!Thanks Ernest!
