DULUTH, Ga., Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABG), one of the largest automotive retail and service companies in the U.S., announced that they have opened their second stand-alone used vehicle store under the 'Q auto' brand in Jacksonville, FL.

The new Jacksonville store follows the successful entrance of Q auto's used car venture earlier this year in Brandon, Florida. Q auto brings a different approach to car buying, not only a one-person, one-price shopping experience, but going further with the opportunity to reserve and buy any vehicle online through qauto.com. All the vehicles at Q auto are Q Protected, which includes, among other benefits, a 5-Day Unlimited Mile Return Policy, Carfax Buyback Guarantee, a 75-Point Inspection and the unique promise to fix the first "ding" or dent that a customer's car may receive, at no charge. Even if the vehicle was not purchased at Q auto, Q auto services all vehicle makes and models.

The "Q" itself is a big part of the brand's identity. Casey Coffey, president of Q auto, stated: "Q stands for Quality, Q stands for Quantity, and Q stands for Quickly - 3 things that we know are very important to our customers. With Q auto, we've launched a new brand that will change the buying experience by providing a completely transparent sales experience that the customer controls. We have all the latest technology to allow the purchase process to be easier than ever. Our buying experience is handled by one Q product specialist from beginning to end."

Coffey continued, "We want to develop a brand that creates a unique purchase experience. Our selection, our process, our cutting-edge technology and most importantly our people are different than what is generally expected. We want Jacksonville to recognize Q auto as their car dealer."
