The History of Easterns Automotive Group

Interested in learning more about our dealership? Here we are pleased to offer you some insight where Easterns Automotive began, and what has happened since. You can even view our very first TV commercial! We hope you enjoy.


In the video, Joel Bassam, the Director of Marketing for Easterns Automotive Group, talks about the 30+ year history of our company. While the company officially launched in 1988, the roots stretch back to when Mr. Bassam was a waiter in Washington, D.C. and found inexpensive cars that were still in usable condition through the Salvation Army. In flipping these cars, he discovered the potential for a high-quality used car dealership in the area. After spending time in the wholesale business, Mr. Bassam saw the need in the community for a place that could cater to those with less-than-perfect credit. By welcoming these customers, Easterns Automotive Group began to grow into what it is today. Now, we cater to all levels of credit and support the hard-working men and women of Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
