A used car dealership off Duke Street is getting new ownership and a rebranding.

Total Package Auto, a dealership at 3131 Colvin Street, filed an application with the city for a change in ownership as the store becomes CarPlug of Alexandria.

The applicant requests to operate an auto sales business in the 1,000-square-foot office and showroom space at 3131 Colvin Street. The dealership is located on a little stretch of businesses including Dogtopia and the slaughterhouse that was allegedly selling rabbits (never letting that go).

Most along the street might not notice much change as the application says the store plans to do most of its business online, with the Alexandria location being where customers can come to get their car.

“We work as an online dealer so we do not plan to have any advertising banners or signs,” the application said.
