Explanation that was given as to reason my vehicle was given was there was not even what they wrote down to be checked out or tried to tell my warranty company. Communication was poor, and the service was not as reliable as promised. I expected better customer service and attention to detail. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and works to improve its service for future customers.

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 !

I am not usually one to set foot on a dealer lot as I usually get older cars off of craigslist and…read moreget them back to shape enough to get 100k or so out of them. But my wife needed a car that was in better shape and I decided to go the extra dollars by buying a used car from a dealer with some kind of warranty so I would not have to do any work to it for a while. I found a Subaru at Randy Marion Save-A-Lot in Hickory and went to look at it. Unfortunately when I arrived someone else was in the process of buying and I instead test drove a Honda which checked out fine. The price was good and I gave 10% down to hold the car for me for a few days so I could get the rest of the money. During that time I also researched values, issues, etc on the Honda and went back a few days later and checked a few things on the car before finalizing the deal. I've now driven it 1000 miles and it is a great car and I feel that the money that I paid for the car was a very fair price. I would probably give them 4.5 stars if I could but since I can't I'm giving them 5 as I am very happy with the car and value that greatly. The only thing I would say is that the customer experience there was not 5 stars although not horrible either but it is a used car lot so it is what it is I suppose. Bottom line- there are good used cars here at very reasonable prices...if you know what you are looking for and do your due diligence before buying from them.

The price on the vehicle was 9984 and I offered 8500 realizing that there would be a counter from them. Much to my surprise the sales guy comes back with a counter offer of 15,370 over 50% mark up from what it was listed for online and on the window. Who does business like this? I was so offended by this that I walked straight out the door. Never will I ever go to this company again. They need to fire their finance manager... Unless they can afford to loose guaranteed sales.

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.

I traded my Mitsubishi outlander in and I bought the Kia Seltos. To make this short, it is now July 13, 2026 and they still have not paid off my Mitsubishi outlander 2024 with the Credit union. 19 days later!!! ...So now I have to make Car payments on a car that | don't even have. I went in the dealer last Friday July 10, 2026. I was given a complete runaround. They told me that it would be paid off soon. When is soon??? Basically I feel like they stole my trade-in. I don't have the car and I'm making car payments on it. How is this right, or fair. Not to mention, this is no way to run a business. Do not trust these people, do not give them your business. They don't deserve it..  These people are not honest.... Do not buy a car from these people.... and definitely don't trade a car with these people. You will be very sorry..   Today, July 13, 2026, I called corporate office and made a formal complaint against this dealer. If I don't get any help, l will have no other choice, but to take further action. The complaint department was very sympathetic with me.... And they agreed this never should've happened. They will escalate this complaint and send it to the district manager. So I am now awaiting a call from him. I called the Kia dealership this morning. Couldn't get a hold of anyone, I left a message and of course no one has called me back or emailed me. I double checked, and the car has not been paid off. With the Credit union. The people that run this dealership, are absolutely pathetic, and the sales people are no better. I would like to take back any review that I made after I bought the car.....Because now they did not stand by their word, they did not stand by their contract. And as I stated before they are completely less than honest. Obviously, their management does not care. And their finance people do not care as well. It's not their credit that's getting ruined. It's mine, if the car payment is not made. Do yourself a favor find another dealership.... unless you want to go through this kind of stress. Think about it. Choose wisely!!!!!

Having owned a business ourselves, I think the first thing a potential customer might wish to know is. "Would we do business with this dealership again?" Categorically, we would! We looked for a long time before we found the vehicle we wanted, having strict criteria to combat the sometimes less than certain history of a pre-owned vehicle. The sales team was courteous, clear on the end pricing structure and as an added benefit, ended up beating out even our credit union for financing. We wanted an independent mechanic to look over the vehicle, They were absolutely fine about that. We felt them to be forthright & clear. We discovered a minor problem 2 days after the sale and contacted them. Though they had no legal obligation to do so, they fixed the door lock. We were impressed by that and it is the reason for this review. Vehicles are a big financial commitment these days and that was impressive; so impressive that I wanted to share our experience.
