BEWARE! Anthony is a scummy car salesman if you want to call him that. We purchased a Honda van from him, it was a bait and switch bc it was not the van we initially came to see and the engine light was on. He assured us that the engine light was due to a gas cap recall but now that we have spent the last 6m having it looked at by the Honda dealerships service center we have been informed there is a hole in the gas tank! Anthony laughed at us when we let him know they quoted us 3k to fix it bc he could "fix it for 100 dollars". How could we trust that when the vehicle was sold to us under false pretenses. We purchased the vehicle so we could commute to chapel Hill for our youngest son's upcoming surgery, to transport our family to Ronald McDonald house but while otw back from his MRI the van went in limp mode and we parked it, so since we parked it for 6m while trying to diagnose the issue as it was unsafe to drive Anthony thinks we are full of it. The miles don't lie, the receipt don't lie and neither does God. Bless your heart Anthony in that you may never know what it's like to have to go through getting swindled at the expense of your sick children.**I'll update with photos of quotes of auto work and the price we paid. We have receipts! If you think 3500k is a "great deal" for a lemon then you might be a scummy salesman. I'll get right to that in the morning ☕

Me and my family have been buying cars from David and Anthony for maybe 2 years now. Although the carels are sold AS IS. We never had any issues with them. The only thing I had to replace on my Chrysler Sebring was a tire and window shield wipers. The transaction was professional and fast. Anthony took the time to go over with me and my sister about the car and he even offered to switch out the window wipers for us. I'm leaving a review because it's hard to find black owned businesses in the south. And I feel it's only right. Keep up the good job Anthony and David. ?

Obligatory "if I could give 0 stars, I would."It's unfortunate that I have to write this review because on the surface, Anthony is a pretty cool guy. Unfortunately, from my experience, Anthony is also liar. I first reached out about a vehicle I had seen on Craigslist that I was interested in purchasing for my family.After reaching out, Anthony informed me that the vehicle was no longer available but that he had another one (same make and model) that he could get there for me to look at. I was completely fine with that and stayed in contact with Anthony over the course of two weeks. When the vehicle was finally there, I came down to take a look. Right away I noticed that the check engine light on the vehicle was on and I was hesitant to purchase the vehicle from Anthony that day because of this. Anthony assured me that they knew why the check engine light was on and that it was a very minor fix. He printed out details about a manufacturer recall and assured me that all I had to do was take it to a dealership to get this issue fixed. This should have been my first red flag, but Anthony was incredibly nice and personable.I took his word for it and purchased the vehicle. A week later, the vehicle and completely broken down. I was only able to afford to get it moved to my house which is where it sat until I could get it taken to the dealership. After several diagnostic tests, it was finally determined that the reason why the check engine light was on was not because of the reason Anthony claimed, but a very major issue that would cost the same amount I paid for it.Knowing that Anthony knew I drove the car off his lot with my all of my kids in their car seats, I reached out hoping that he would see how problematic this was. I expected him to as personable and nice as he was when he sold me the car, but that opposite of that was true. He was blunt in the fact that "bought as is" (which is true) as he knows full and well that once I signed the paperwork and handed him the money, it was no longer his problem.Lemon laws do not exist in the state of North Carolina for used vehicles beyond a certain year. If you've read this review, I recommend you stay very far away from Powell Autos and to not trust anything that Anthony says in regard to the vehicle you are interested in purchasing.

I hate to give people a bad recommendation. I had saw on Craigslist a Cadillac that was for sale for $3,000 at Powell's Auto in Rocky Mount I had spoken with Anthony when I called I was still under the assumption the car was for $3,000 at least that's what it said on Craigslist. When I spoke to Anthony he told me the car was $7,900 told me something about a one-day sale but that's not what it had said on Craigslist. So I definitely won't trust them

David and Anthony assisted me purchasing my 96 accord. She’s a beauty runs great and was a great price. They also took care of me with paperwork and made sure I was good to hit the road. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Thanks fellas!

Amazing amazing amazing. I have a 400+ credit score and I was able to tell these two amazing guys my story of financial hardship and drove away and a vehicle. It’s been seven months now and I have no issues with my vehicle. I needed a oil change and they were so cool about helping me. The guy I dealt with name was Anthony he was very knowledgeable about vehicles and history reports. I think God I found this place you all should give them a shot. Happy customerall around the board!!!!!!

We had the best experience. David and Anthony were very helpful . They answered all of our questions and they didn’t seem irritated or annoyed. They are very honest and tried their best to help us any way they could. We left happy and satisfied in our “new to us” vehicle. Thank you
