Cloninger must have his employees write all those 5 star

Cloninger must have his employees write all those 5 star reviews because nothing could be further from the truth. Catawba County did you know that this dealership hires illegal immigrants to work for them in place of actual American citizens. That includes the mechanics that have access to your vehicles and everything inside of your vehicles. Think about that the next time you hand over your keys to the service representative. There is a reason you don't actually see the mechanics.

After trading my car for one at Cloninger, the car was

After trading my car for one at Cloninger, the car was not detailed hardly at all, the Finance manager told us he was adding on different things because I was a veteran or because he valued us as a customer, never revealing that these things were being added to the cost of the car, the paint was chipped to the metal on the drivers door and no attempt to touch it up was done, insect casings and spider nests were inside the doors, the floor mats were dirty. We asked that the extras be removed that the Finance manager had added to the price. He states he took them off but did not give us corrected paperwork that reflected the price once they were removed. A friend then made an appt to test drive and see the car with someone at Cloninger Ford and after they promised they would hold the car, she drove 2.5 hours to see it and was told even though she received a text reminder this morning of her appointment, that the car had been sold to someone else. What incompetence!!! I would never recommend anyone go there!

My experience at Colinger Ford was very positive.

My experience at Colinger Ford was very positive. They assessed my vehicle and their assessment was spot on with what I was experiencing. The cost to fix my vehicle was more than I could afford. Given the nature of my experience with Colinger Ford I would definitely return to them. Thank you!!

The sales department at Cloninger Ford of Hickory was

The sales department at Cloninger Ford of Hickory was very pleasant to work with while buying this Jeep. No pressure at all and allowed me to think about it overnight without the least bit of pressure to make the deal before I left the dealership.
