My Review of McCloskey Motors:
First off, I filled out a 10% discount coupon on the website, bigjoeauto. It did not say that after you left you name and phone number, that you would get a flood of calls from these people even though after the first time thaey called you asked them not to call again. This one female called everyday for a week. I wanted to see the car I was interested in at the Academy Blvd. dealership. I pulled into the parking lot, stepped out of my car had one foot out car door and I was attacked by the vultures. These people would not leave me alone. I will never... ever go back again. I wanted to write this to warn everyone... STAY AWAY! Don't let those stupid TV spots fool you. These people are in it for one thing. I'm going to Phil Long!

My Review of McCloskey Motors:
I went to McCloskey after dealing with Phil Long Ford. My credit is not the best. Phil Long wanted me to put $5000.00 down and stick me with 21% intrest on a 2006 Mustang costing $13,995.
I went online and found a 2004 silver convertable Mustang for $12,644. I went in and Omar met me at the door. I told him that I was looking at the 2004 Mustang, and if he could get me financed I would be interested in getting it. I told Omar that I would not be interested in anything else on there lot. He got right to work on it. ran my credit. He never mad me feel bad about my credit sitiuation. He asked me what I would be able to put dowwn. I told him $2000. He talked to his manager (Jeff). It was very quick. He came back with some numbers. I had to put down $3,700. I told them all I had was $2000.00. Omar went to his manager. When he came back he said that they would take the $2000.00 down and they would give me 3 weeks to get the other $1700.00. After I agreed to that. It was a done deal.
The best part of this deal was handled by Rick in the finance dept. He shopped around for the Rate he could get for me. It took him 3 days. He was able to get me a great rate. I was shocked that he got me 12.99% from a local credit union.
The next day the back passenger window would not roll down. I took it to McClosky service dept. They fixed the problem at no charge.

My Review of McCloskey Motors:
Went to dealer after another tried to charge 23% interest and we refused. Took about 3 hours, had the perfect vehicle, a little higher price than expected, but hey, the vehicle had been modified by previous owner, was awesome, we had finance papers signed and finished with awesome interest rate, 1300.00 down, walked out very pleased with everything! About a week later the vehicle started making a noise, called dealer & had repair shop call within the hour to schedule check, they took care of everything, plus gave free service for year! Understand that everyone doesn't have perfect experiance, but we had great service, was very satisfied and WILL be going back SOON~

My Review of McCloskey Motors:
Bring a Tape Recorder if you find yourself having to do business with this dealership. We went to purchase a vehicle end of Sept, signed the paperwork on one 29th of Sept, did not hear from them until I called to check on what was going on with my trade payoff being that I was receiving threating phone calls from my previous creditor. NO RESPONSE ..Finally a Manager from a different location contacted me. Saying this was a miscommunication...? NO it was neglectful service. I am livid at this point in time. It has been 3 weeks and the dates the Manager at the other location was throwing out did not even match the dates on my paperwork. He told me to read the contract but that does not matter..If you run a business and you have people lying about things and then you just fall back on a little clause..DOES NOT WORK. NOT GOOD BUSINESS. I was informed that they had not even found a loan, they have not attempted to pay off my vehicle and they were trying to work a deal that night..3 weeks later. Somthing needs to be done about these practices and how these people deal with others. Criminal and Cold. DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP.

My Review of McCloskey Motors:
I went to McCloskey motors during one of the huge sales events at the World Arena. The actual day of my purchase everything went very well. Both Joe McCloskey, Jr. and Mike Phillips were very nice and very professional. Because the transaction happened later on Saturday night we were not able to secure financing. I was told by Mr. Phillips to visit the dealership on Monday and we would sort everything out. So, on Monday I made the 42 mile drive from my home to McCloskey Motors only to find that Mr. Phillips was not there. I was asked to come back the next day. So, the next day I made the long trip again and Mr. Phillips told me that he couldn't help me because he hadn't heard back from the financing company yet, and that he would call me when he needed me again. I was frustrated at this point and decided I would take matters into my own hands and attempt to arrange financing on my own. So, I went to my own bank and got a quote on a loan. I didn't get the loan at that time, however, as I felt it appropriate to contact the dealership first. So, I placed a phone call to Mr. Phillips and left him a voice mail. I called every day for 4 weeks without any response. So, I made the 42 mile drive to the dealership again and was told face to face that they probably weren't going to be able to get financing for me and that I would have to return the car and pay the huge fees for the mileage on it. I told him that I had my own financing and that I would arrange for payment to be made before the end of the week. So, the day before I was to go finalize the loan with my own bank I receive a phone call from one of the people I had listed as a reference. Mr. McCloskey had called and left a message on their phone stating that they were going to report my car stolen because I had not arranged for financing on the vehicle. He also said that it was my responsibility to find financing because my credit score was too low for them. He then went on to state my credit score on the phone message. So, I called the dealership asking what was going on. Mr. Phillips stated that I had not answered the phone over the previous three weeks when they had been calling and that they had reported my car as stolen. The only contact telephone number they had for me was my cell phone number and I checked my statements. No call had been received from any of the listed dealership numbers or from the cell phones of Mr. Phillips or Mr. McCloskey and my statements show any call that I answer or that goes to my voice mail. I called him back and explained this to him. He then proceeded to tell me that it must be my lucky day because he had just secured financing for me, but that I had to drop a check off to him before close that day or my account would be charged a late fee. So, I get into my vehicle, drive the 42 miles AGAIN and drop off a check to him.

This company violated the law numerous times throughout our interactions and truly made me regret doing business with them. Do yourself a favor and don't make the same mistake that I did!

My Review of McCloskey Motors:
Went in expecting to not get done.. shaky credit/short time job... they not only did everything they said they would, they got me done for 4.2% which is way better than I expected. Send people there all the time... and I work for a rival dealer who would only finance me if I paid 21% with $2000 down... NOT!!
