I did not purchase a vehicle, so this review concerns only my interaction with sales management…read more I contacted Clay Cooley CDJR Dallas about an approximately $25,000 used F-150 and submitted a detailed set of pre-purchase questions. I recognize that my original request was longer than average and that some mechanical checks were better left to an independent inspection. Instead of simply identifying which existing records could be provided and which items should wait, General Sales Manager Evan Epstein described my request as "a bit over the top" and wrote, "It is a 2018 Ford, not a Lamborghini," while encouraging me to visit first. To be fair, he said the dealership would eventually work on obtaining the information, but the tone caused me to withdraw. His subsequent response called the remark "purely in jest" and characterized my questions as "multiple pages of an AI generated list of queries." That reinforced rather than resolved my concern. At this price point, I expect reasonable due diligence to be addressed professionally and without belittling commentary. I cannot comment on the vehicle itself or the service department, but this sales-management experience caused the dealership to lose my business.

The entire buying process was smooth, transparent, and much less stressful than I expected. A huge thank you to my salesperson, Kimmy. He was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer every question I had. He made sure I found the perfect car for me a 2026 Kia K5 GT-Line with red leather seats and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. He never made me feel pressured and genuinely cared about making sure I was comfortable with every step of the process. The entire team made buying my new car an exciting and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for excellent customer service and a dealership that truly takes care of its customers, I highly recommend Clay Cooley Kia. Be sure to ask for Kimmy, you won't be disappointed!

This has been, without question, the worst car-buying experience I've ever had, and this was…read moresupposed to be a special purchase because it was my fourth Mazda. Instead, it has turned into an ongoing nightmare. I traded in my 2023 Cadillac, which already had a negative experience in purchasing it with Ed Morse dealership Dallas, as I had issues after a bad purchase transaction. Instead, 22 days later, my trade-in still has not been paid off because the dealership sent the wrong payoff amount, not following the contract that we all signed. As a result, I still owe money on a vehicle I no longer own. On top of that: My two rebates were not applied correctly totaling $1,250,00 ($750 veteran) ($500 Mazda to Mazda) I canceled my extended warranty and GAP coverage, and I am still waiting on my $4,092.10 refund. That I was told I would need to pay the balance first so that they can receive title before refund me the difference in what they failed to pay by contract. Now I have a car payment due on the new vehicle and still need to pay off the old vehicle for them to receive title, then to wait on at this point for 2 checks they OWE ME. Every time I ask for an update, I get a different answer. Working with Owen Benson and Brian in Finance was extremely frustrating. They were never on the same page, and neither would return calls or answer questions when issues came up. Instead of taking ownership, everyone points fingers at someone else--the finance department, accounting, or another employee. Since January 16, I've been given nothing but excuses, conflicting information, and the runaround. No one has taken responsibility, and no one has corrected these mistakes. A dealership should not leave customers chasing their own money or worrying about a trade-in that should have been paid off weeks ago. I chose Norm Reeves Mazda because I have been a loyal Mazda customer, but this experience has completely destroyed my trust in this dealership. If you're considering buying a vehicle here, make sure every rebate, payoff, and finance document is verified before you leave. I wish I had. I sincerely hope management steps in and resolves these issues because no customer should have to go through what I've experienced.

For example, one of the other car dealerships prevented us from taking the car to an independent mechanic! You know they were hiding something with the car. Anyway, not only did Texas Cars Direct let us take the car to an independent mechanic, they were professional, not pushy like some of the other guys we dealt with, and easy to do business with.

What followed was 33 days of "we can't pay you until the title arrives" -- even though my lender confirmed in writing on 7/30 that the loan was paid in full. I'm an Army veteran and I handled this the right way: calls, patience, follow-ups, numerous conversations with their manager Mike. The day I said I'd had enough, his position was still that I could go to the DMV myself or wait another three weeks. Dismissive from start to finish. On 8/27 I showed up in person with the lender's paid-in-full letter. Only then did they hand over my check -- dated 7/27, two days after the sale. It existed nearly the whole time they were telling me they couldn't pay. The car had already been resold. (Keep-or-cut sentence:) Nothing in the bill of sale I signed conditions payment on the title. If you sell them your car, demand a payment date in writing. Every date above is documented.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING…read more This is long overdue. I tried not leaving this review, but the public has to know. I don't deserve what I'm going through with my perfect credit score being over 740. This vehicle has a recall since 2019, but the dealership doesn't touch anything aftermarket, it has to be stock. When I first saw the vehicle, I checked the engine light since it was deleted. I barely saw enough since I didn't want to be caught. Now that I have the vehicle, there's more than what I expected. Again, bring an engine code reader, don't go by what they say. I'm spending over $1,200, and there's a lot more I'm having to pay to get my valve springs repaired which is around $800-$1,600 to fix. So yeah, I'm one "happy" customer alright. I already replaced the fuel filler neck and charcoal canister that was causing the fueling up the gas tank problem, and now the most expensive one yet is my valve springs that's causing a lot of things to go wrong with my ride. I got crapped on, big time time. I surely hope everyone double and triple CHECKS ANY vehicle before buying. Don't just go by what anyone says at all. That is all. Thank you.
