I haven't been to a dealership in so many years I can't remember the last time but today I know…read morewhy! Took our Honda CR-V in for a recall on the passenger side air bag inflator. While they had it they did a multipoint inspection on it and Surprise, Surprise, Surprise as Gomer Pyle would say, found multiple things "wrong" with it to the tune of $922 in parts and labor including telling us the transmission fluid was brown and needed servicing. My wife said "Really? My husband just serviced the transmission less than a month ago" and at that point the service advisor started back peddling saying maybe it just looked that way because of the lighting! LMFAO!! I knew it was coming, as soon as we turned them down for the repairs, the high-pressure sales pitch started. Nothing will turn me off faster or lose my business quicker than someone pressuring me to buy something once I have already told them NO! Besides everything on the list IF it needed to be done I or my mechanic could have done it for a fraction of the price that Hendrick Honda wanted to charge to do it. Plus now we are getting letters in the mail at least once a week reminding us that "we need to schedule an appointment for our urgently needed repairs" I wonder how long we are going to continue to get these letters before they finally realize that we are not bringing the car back there ever again for any reason! I pulled the transmission dipstick after we got home and that was the reddest "brown" transmission fluid I have ever seen!! These dealerships will flat out lie to your face to try and make a buck. I may have been born at night, but not last night! Two stars only because the service advisor did reset our radio theft security code and set the time without charging us which shocked the hell out of me!

Outstanding Experience at Cloninger Ford with Ty Flowers!…read more I recently purchased a 2017 Chevy Cruze Premier from Cloninger Ford in Hickory, NC, and the entire experience was exceptional. From the moment I walked in Ty Flowers provided top-notch customer service. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfectttttt car! The Chevy Cruze I purchased was in pristine condition and Ty made sure the process was smooth and stress-free. Even the finance department was a pleasure to work with!! Everyone is friendly and professional. I highly recommend Cloninger Ford and especially Ty Flowers when purchasing your vehicle. Cloninger has earned my trust and I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future! Hands down the best car-buying experience l've had!!!

They told me they would have to send it to Everette Chevrolet and get it fixed there after Cloninger could not fix it. The unit went completely black and would not work again after 3 months.

Recently purchased a new truck from Carmax. After searching dealers and online searches I found…read morewhat I wanted at a fair market price. I had no trade in. From my research they have the best out the door price with a 299.99 Doc fee. I had found these fees to be in excess of 800.00. So you have to know what to add for your out the door price at any dealer. In the first week I found some mechanical issues that I wanted addressed. The service department was first rate in communications and addressing my major issues at no charge. I would have given 5 stars but for one practice I disagree with and am having to handle myself. If a remote (key fob) was lost by the previous owner it becomes your loss. They will provide one key fob and one extra key. All new cars come standard with two fobs and in the case of the truck it is the only way to use remote start. It will most likely cost in the range of 200.00 to get a remote for my wife. This practice puzzles me because they addressed much larger problems with a smile. Ask before you sign the papers how many key fobs the vehicle has because it may have only one. I hope they change this practice, sometimes it's the small things that could easily be addressed that bother you. I would buy another Car at Carmax in Hickory.

Totally regret purchasing a car from Carmax Hickory, North Carolina. Purchased it on 88, they said…read morethey send me a hard metal tag. Never received it call. This is me having to take my time out of my day to call them Because not only unprofessional to the max. They are extremely ignorant. Once again, I'm recall again being put on for three minutes 14 minutes for the entire call until Tina, who is the rudest person I've ever done business with she lacks business savvy, she was missing on the day they taught manners and how to be professional. She was so rude.The guy before her said oh well things get lost in the mail. I said no we're not gonna use that one. This is the third time, oh well maybe since you live in an apartment things don't get there on time I said no that's not accurate. She stated that it was sent out 10 days later well I never received it they on the mail. I said no it's not the mail now months later so my son called last said oh you should've gotten did indeed , didn't receive it. To prove them wrong once again, didn't fit in your mailbox, I do have a mailbox and if we get anything larger than can fit in our mailbox, they put a key into your mailbox and I've had numerous things sent that way. Sounds like you're making one excuse after 100 more. Then Tina says well here's what you can. Do you go to the DMV, I've already been twice lady, had no problem title. So she wants me to make another errand to go to the DMV of all places and she said pay for it and then I will reimburse you we all know that putting all the work on me my my money numerous . Should've used Carvana. Also, I took the sticker off the back of my car my car not there so they use it for people to get free advertisement my car don't put a damn sticker on there of yours. The worst experience of my life.

STAY AWAY or you will regret it bought a Hyundia Santa Fe…read more6-months ago had to replace the motor for $9000. Car cost $12000. I called the dealership to see what they would do about this, gave me the run around so I wrote several bad reviews in different places to inform people about buying a used car from them. Bad thing is there parent dealership is Everett Chevrolet so that says a lot about them to. Well long story short the dealership called me and ask what they could do to resolve this problem if I would take down the bad review. I told them not until they pay for the motor in the bad car they sold me. They should have known about this car before they sold it to me and knowed they had bad motor. I waited for there call finally had to call them said we will not do anything. Sorry Please think before you go there and read a lot of reviews as I should have . Thank you

I find it disappointing or even bordering on unethical the policy of the Hickory Used Car…read moreSuperstore dealership (associated with Everitt) on deposits placed to hold a car with intention to buy. About a month ago my friend made an offer on a 2020 Subaru that had already been on the lot for a month. An amount was agreed upon, dependent on the trade-in offer for her car. To hold the car, they requested and she provided a $100 deposit. One day later, she presented her car for assessment/offer. A deal was struck, including her trade in. The finance department tried but failed to obtain financing for her- this was the same day she brought in her trade, and 1 day after placing the deposit. The only reason she did not buy the car was failure to obtain financing. Yet in-spite of this reason and the brevity of the hold, this dealership chose to keep her deposit. They have every right to do so, and I have every right to warn potential customers what kind of management you will be dealing with. That car remains for sale on their lot today. I can't help but wonder how many offers on the car they received but had to turn down during the 24 hours that they held the car. Likely zero. Had she obtained financing but then backed out, that would be a different thing. Our sales rep Nick was fantastic to deal with and has no ability to change this seedy policy. One star given due to our sales rep, and one star for the efforts of the finance department. Zero stars for management and for common sense. There are plenty of alternatives for finding a used car- I recommend taking them.

A leader is or appears to be as good as his soldiers and the soldiers will only be as good as their leader. In this case, we have a perfectly running oiled machine from the top down. The phone call at 9:02 am with Jose "Ill hold it for you " Boom, we role into Conover from Charlotte at 4pm. As soon as we get out of our car, Jose was there to greet us. Handed us the keys and said " take it for a spin". We did and we said " we will take it ". Jose took down all of our information and passed it to Don McGee. Another " Get it done " professional. Between the two, they did not miss a beat ! Aside from the car being in pristine condition to begin with, they took it, cleaned it even more, filled it with gas and had us gone in two hours, just as he said. I did not meet the owner but I will tell him this should I get the chance... " Do not lose these men and don't change a thing " Soldiers are only as good as their leader and the leader is only as good as his soldiers. We are proud to say we found, trusted and did business with Jose " Joseph " Martinez and Don McGee at Trading Post Super Store in Conover North Carolina. These are good honest get it done professionals. Thank you gentlemen !
