Charlie and the whole team was fantastic. The whole team was nice and informative and helped me get into my new-to-me truck very quickly. The longest part of the process was waiting for my bank to approve the loan. Now I have a functional truck to use for business and leisure. Thank you Cloniger!

The service on my vehicle was exceptional. The technician explained what he was doing and completed the work expeditiously. I’m very pleased with the service department at this location.
I worked with Charlie Kaylor to purchase my 2026 Mustang convertible. He worked diligently to find one that was equipped like I wanted in a color I liked from one of their other lots. He got the vehicle in fast. When it arrived he sent me photos and we set up a time to be there to finish the deal. When I arrived he met me at the door with tag in hand for me to test drive it. When I returned he had everything ready and went over all the details. It was a very fast finish and I was on my way. I have worked with Charlie and Cloninger many times over the years and highly recommend them.
The service technician who came to my home for the recall did an outstanding job. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and polite throughout the entire visit.
