While they did hold a car a couple of days for me to make the 102 mile trip to see the car, they did not reveal the hail damage nor the big dent in the front side of grill or the scrapes on the back bumper, or all the places that the paint was touched up that looked like blobs of paint on car. The place also looks a little on the shady side. I would not recommend this place to buy a car. I'm only giving this 2 stars because they held the car for me.

Update: I am very pleased with the vehicle I purchased from ABA. The biggest issue I have had is basic maintenance; 2 calipers got stuck and needed replaced. This SUV has been wonderful. The dealer was very honest and upfront. I would recommend ABA to anyone looking for an affordable, clean, used car. We called ahead to make sure someone was going to be there when we arrived. We got there and no one was there so we called the number that was listed in the door and within 10-15 minutes an employee was there. It had snowed and the vehicles were not cleaned off. First impression was iffy, bit buyer's nervousness was a factor. The building is small, unassuming, slightly aged, and has some weathered wear and tear. Y'all, it's nothing bad. It's just a building. It is a small office space so may not wanna bring the kiddos and your buds, but roomy enough for a family of 4. The lot is smaller, and not much room to drive through or park, but if you're good a planning a head just park in the street parking. Regarding their vehicles; they had quite the selection. I was looking for an SUV that was family friendly but affordable. I got both. I bought a used vehicle. It's far from a new car. It was clean inside and out, had plenty of gas for a test drive, had no outstanding mechanical or safety issues, had good tread left on the tires, all windows worked, and most importantly was priced reasonably. Needless to say, we bought it. I drove that little SUV to Wapakoneta Ohio and back without a single issue. All we had to do to it was replace window wipers. There was a TPMS light but after airing up the tires and driving it around it just went off. Even if it comes back on it is a minor issue and nothing that would have stopped us from buying it. I love my SUV. I feel safe in it. I feel confident in it and trust it. My title arrived fast. The rep/associate answered all our questions and was very transparent with us on the vehicle's history. This was a nice little dealer with very realistic and affordable vehicles. For a used car dealer and used car buying experience this was A+!

John is the best car dealer I have met. He helped me to find a minivan I was looking for at a reasonable price. He even helped me to sell it at a good price when I moved out of the US. He also owns a great repair shop where I maintained the car. Thank you John and Alex! You're the best!

If you can manage your expectations of a sub $3000 car, then this is a place where you will treated kindly and drive away happy. I had a great experience with ABA auto sales. Brian was very friendly and helpful. ABA sells some vehicles in the low end of the price range which is exactly what I was looking for.

Purchased a car then subsequently had to replace the radiator (it blew then also found out they had jimmy rigged the wrong radiator in it), discovered 2 posts were sheered off, had a bad ball joint and a loose tie rod. This place will rip you off for a dollar. Not worth it. Go to a reputable dealership.

I looked at a bunch of cars over a very short period of time. They were very helpful. I test drove several vehicles with no issue. The prices are fair and they are open about discussing any issues the cars might have. I did not buy a car from ABA but this is still a good place to start if you are looking for a decent used car.

My dad and I both bought cars here. My dad raved about the service he got from Jon and encouraged me to go there for my car as well. They had almost exactly what I was looking for. Unlike most used car lots, I truly felt that Brian and Jon wanted me to be happy and feel good about my purchase, which I really do. Most places want your money and to get you out the door. Totally different feeling here and I would encourage everyone looking for a used car to check them out. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and don't make a buyer feel pressured. I'll be back when it's time for another used car!

I run a local shop here in Bloomington and have looked at a few cars for a customer looking to buy a car here and the first one had been wrecked and had multiple issues that were not made aware to customer and would have been very costly if they had bought it. The second vehicle they brought here had a leak in the fuel tank that they had used jb weld on which is very dangerous and should never be done to a fuel tank!! Please avoid this place because if they will do that then what else would they do to just make a sale!!!

I haven’t bought a car yet, but I fully plan too. I was at ABA today and had a hard time choosing between several great vehicles for even better prices! ABA gave me great service and on point information and I would 100% recommend checking out his inventory if you are in need of a great car sold by a great guy.

Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with any business. Brian was honest and courteous. He never pressured me whatsoever and even encouraged me to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic, which I did. I ended up with a beautiful, clean, mechanically sound SUV at a really good price. In my opinion, ABA Auto Sales earns 5 stars.

I recently found a vehicle online located at ABA Auto. Typically I do like to test drive and check out vehicles before I purchase but this one I was prepared to buy out right; because I wasn't going to make the 12 hour commute. So another first for me was purchasing a vehicle entirely on the phone. Jon was very helpful getting me the Carfax and sending me extra requested photos. He really was very patient through the ordeal. I made the purchase and arranged shipment of the vehicle and Jon helped on that end to get the vehicle underway. I am very happy with my dealings with ABA Auto and happy with my vehicle now too.

I actually really liked this place at first and even made a review shortly after getting my car until I realized they swindled me. After a month of buying my car, problems immediately started coming up. Exhaust manifold was completely rusted out and needed replaced (that’s $1,000) at first I thought it was just a fluke but there’s no way an exhaust manifold can rust out within a few months. all 4 spark plugs and coils/ignition coils had the same issue (that’s another $700) head light needed completely required, air filter wasn’t even replaced and was so clogged it looked like it hadn’t been changed in years, belts were loose, needed an alignment etc .. Mind you, this is a place that has its own mechanic shop and promised everything was in great shape. They took advantage of my lack of knowledge on cars and used it for gain. If you’re going to be looking at a vehicle from here I’d advise you to at least bring someone who knows about vehicles with you or take it to a trusted mechanic. They didn’t replace any of the issues in the car bc they knew they’d lose money and decided to not even bring it up bc I didn’t know any better. They did all this while talking crap about the ppl across the street from them all while they are doing the same thing. The car is something I’ll just have to use until it can’t run anymore and buy something else.

We had a very good buying experience at ABA. Brian was our sales person. He did not pressure us to purchase anything at all. He was honest about the problems he had found (gave us a copy of Carfax as well). Then he encouraged us to take the car for a long test drive including on the highway. Brian worked with us on pricing and was laid back the entire time. You always have to be careful with used car lots, but honestly this was the best situation we could have hoped for. UPDATE- A couple of weeks after we purchased our car a transmission solenoid broke. ABA was very reasonable and replaced the solenoid for the cost of the part only. They didn't have to do that but they did. Thank you for everything 😊

If your looking for good service and an easy buying experience contact Brian for the best knowledge and reliability on every vehicle 🚗 on the lot. One of the most trusted Dealers I have seen here in Monroe County. Best prices throughout Indy. I purchased a 2010 Subaru Impreza Hatchback with 120-000 miles. The car was exceptionally clean and well taken care of. Brian explained all the safety features and packages the car came with. Took for a test drive and it drove like new. Brian sends all his vehicles through a thorough safety and mechanical inspection with trusted ASE certified Auto Repair Shops. Once passing the car is then sold on lot. I recommend everyone to buy with ABA sales for the best deals. Reliable. Easy. Buying. @. ABA. Auto. Sales.

Buying a used car is a process fraught with uncertainty. You need to befriend an unemployed mechanic that you can drag along to look at cars. I don't have a mechanic friend so I test drove a vehicle with my fingers crossed in hopes that I didn't end up with a lemon. I bought a car from Aba because this place was around the corner from my family that was helping me to purchase it. The experience was satisfactory. The car we purchased isn't perfect, it needs some brake work but other than that it seems okay so far. Fingers crossed 🤞

I had a nice experience here buying my first used car. I had a short budget and I needed a car that wouldn't be a burden to maintain. The seller was very attentive and patient. I took several days in the process, to make sure I was buying the right thing, and he never pressed me to make a decision. We were able to negotiate a deal that worked for both of us.

It's always a treat to deal with ABA, and Jon especially. We bought a GREAT running truck at a fair price. They have several great deals on solid vehicles. Everything we started, or heard others start and drive sounded great. Lots of happy customers on the day we came in, ourselves included. I definitely recommend and will buy from ABA again if I'm looking for a good deal.
