Reviews of Conklin Chevrolet Salina (Rent Cars)

Yvonne D

We walked into Conklin and knew we wanted a Honda Odyssey. Jeremy was very helpful and was never pushy and never tried to talk us into something else. We gave them the amount we wanted to spend and they worked with us to get it for that price. I will recommend Conklin to anyone who is wanting to buy a vehicle and we will definitely be back.

Bought my 2017 Colorado new from them, good price, no problems. Terrible service department. 1st service, the Tech tore the 0-ring on the drop in oil filter element. Slow oil leak that coated the bottom of my new vehicle. Took it back, they redid their screw up and said they cleaned up the oil mess. They lied, didn't clean a thing. Went back in, threw a fit, they cleaned it all off. They also did a tire rotation. Didn't notice till months later they did not relearn the tire positions for the TPMS, say's they did on the maint receipt. Called them, complained, Service Manager made excuses about faulty TPMS tools, whatever. 2 visits, 3 problems, I do not recommend their service department! Same service Tech for both visits.

My wife and I have just purchased our third Highlander Limited. We waited until the 2014's were out. We looked at ALL makes of SUV's with panoramic sunroofs, and were pleased that Toyota finally saw the light (or allowed us to see it!). Pam Seversen worked hard for us, to get the white car we wanted, and also to agree to a 2-for-1 trade in. I would recommend her to anyone. My sole complaint is that the car should come with a removable cargo compartment roll-up cover, as our two previous Limiteds did. A disappointment that Toyota would consider that an option to be purchased, but it's not Pam's fault. Our son bought his Honda Pilot from the Hutchinson Conklin dealer, so we are looking forward to establishing our own dealer-client relationship.

Heidi Silvia

Garrett Mishler was very helpful and pleasant to work with.

Lori Bond

I purchased a new car 2 weeks ago from Conklin and I highly recommend them! My salesperson was Pam Severson. She was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, professional, not overbearing and she made it a fun experience.

Braunie B

Thought it was nice how Tim P. bought the car to us 65 miles to our house to test drive the Chevy Traverse we bought. Test drive and dealing on the vehicle took about one hour to complete, this was great. Next day our Chevy Traverse was delivered ahead of arrival time switch tags from our trade in and put on the Traverse, I signed the papers. We have been very Happy since!!!! We will recommend Conklin Cars to anyone we know who wants to buy a different vehicle. THANKS AGAIN !!!!

Ben Nondorf

We were looking for a Chevy Colorado extended cab, 2 wheel drive. It is impossible to find one on any lot, let alone a specific model. We wrote to Conklin's and received a quick response from Pam who wanted to meet with us. She send us the specs of a couple of on-line pick-ups that were in our price range for us to look at. She told us we qualified for $1500 off because we owned an Equinox and that there was a rebate of $500 for the truck itself. She located the pickup we wanted us and said they had to get it for us. This took around 2 weeks for it to come in. In the mean time, Pam S. kept us posted on what was going on and answered all of our questions about the interior and the colors. (We trade every 14 years, so this is a big deal for us!) She treated us like family and was very reassuring and understanding. We feel we were treated fairly and everyone was very nice to work with. We love the truck and came away with a good experience. Thank you for taking care of us and getting us what we wanted! Ben and Carolyn

great people great service

BUY YOUR VEHICLES FROM JASON LANGEN AT CONKLIN CARS IN SALINA! When we were living in Colorado Springs in 2012, my husband and I had a terrible car-buying experience from a dealership there, so when our circumstances sort of forced us into looking at getting another car last month (September 2014), I was incredibly apprehensive about going through the whole ordeal all over again. I e-mailed an inquiry to Conklin Cars about a 2015 Corolla and received a response very quickly from a Jason Langen providing all the information I had asked for without any sort of insulting sales gimmicks. This immediately began to allay my fears about buying from a dealership, especially when the price I was quoted for the car in question was the most competitive I had found among 3 area dealerships (and I had had to haggle those other 2 dealerships down to get even remotely close to the price Conklin offered outright). Jason delivered the car to our house at our request, we signed the papers, and that was that. Simple, straightforward, no funny business. It was such a refreshing experience after what we had gone through just 2 years earlier that I almost wish we had the financial means to purchase another new car so we could buy from Jason Langen at Conklin Cars again. He was perfectly professional and so friendly--it was really easy to forget that he was a car salesman (which, as the average consumer knows, is probably a very rare quality among the sales staff at most car dealerships). In sum: Jason Langen is the ideal standard for a car salesman, and Conklin Cars in Salina is the ideal standard for a car dealership. My husband and I will be relocating to eastern Kansas in the Spring, but I would have no qualms about going out of our way to do business with them again in the future whenever we have need of another car.

Weasel Dad

Conklin Cars Salina has been and remains A premiere dealership. I have personally purchased three cars through Dean Crist at Conklin Salina, and my children have purchased two. Dean is always professional, polite, honest and fair in his dealings. He does not obfuscate, and Larry makes the financing a breeze. Conklin has in addition performed service work on our vehicles. It is well worth the 90 mile trip from Wichita Kansas to obtain such professionalism and honesty at a dealership. Long live Dean Crist, Long live Conklin, Long live Toyota.

Cort Johnson

Except for Conklin's requirement to charge $65-$125 to take a look at the suspension or power steering problem Conklin did great.

Ken Stewart

We purchased our first Honda CR-V from Conklin Cars in Salina this year and have purchased six other vehicles from Conklin Salina in the past. We recently went back and purchased a new Honda CR_V model. Conklin's sales staff has been wonderful, helpful, informative, and not pushy. Dean Crist and His wife Rhonda are true professionals. They provide quality information and let you make the choice to buy. Conklin in Salina also will negotiate fairly, again letting you know where you stand on a trade in as well as financially, allowing you to make a good decision. We have also sent our daughter to them to purchase two vehicles.

Melissa Simmons

Awesome service and awesome people. I could not have asked for better help to find a new car. Thanks Conklin.

Randy Cooper

Both Ronda (Salesperson) and Josh (Chevrolet Sales Manager) were great during my order process, the follow-up during GM's delays, and being an advocate on my behalf. If you need a Honda, Toyota, or Chevrolet - give them a shot!

D Palma Mercantile

We have had a very positive experience with Conklin Cars Salina. Everyone from our sales lady Pam, to the finance department was very helpful. Not only did we get a great Toyota this time, we are on our third car from Conklin Cars Salina. I will definitely recommend Conklin Cars for your next vehicle.

Kyle Ableman

I had a great experience at Conklin Salina and will be back and refer folks looking for a new vehicle. Thanks Tom Holschuh for going above and beyond to help me get into my new Silverado. Thanks again Kyle

Marsha Gabe

Came in about time they closed and put a battery in my vehicle.jessi who I deal with up front is always smiling and always pleasant to talk to about anything.she is a very nice person.always has a smile whether she is at work or somewhere else.you have a very special working for you and it's a pleasure to know and deal with her.

Lisa Bowers

We purchased a used Corolla from Tom, The entire process was low pressure, smooth and fast. We were satisfied with the competitive price we paid as well as the trade in we received. Tom has provided excellent service after the sale and seems genuinely concerned for us as customers and people. Larry in finance was a real blessing, highly organized and very personable. He told us the story behind Mr. Conklin's vision for the car buying experience. He made the "Dreaded Paperwork" fast and seamless. We have been very happy with our used Corolla and our experience with Conklin cars. We highly recommend giving them the opportunity to sell you your next car.

Aaron Duell

We had a great experience at Conklin and love our 2013 Honda CRV EX. We found that the sales reps were polite and not pushy. We were not bombarded by emails and phone calls as one might expect. Neither did we feel any pressure to try to move up to the next level of car. The only complaint we have about Conklin was the little bit of difficulty we had trying to reach our salesman. We knew going into it that we want to work with Tom Zackary (who was great) but we got the run around trying to get a hold of him. Once we managed to speak with him, we got his cell number which simplified the contact process. My wife and I felt like Tom did his best to get us the best price he could without Conklin actually losing money on the transaction. When the time comes to purchase a vehicle again, we'll go back to him at Conklin.

R Hoover

Ronda and Pam were a great tag-team to help get me the Honda Fit I wanted. And yes, I was very particular! Found it. Delivered it. Very good experience! Thanks again to Ronda and Pam!

T D

We have purchased 2 vehicles from Conklin Cars in Salina and getting ready to purchase another one possibly. I wouldn't go anywhere else!! Tim is the best when it comes to dealing with a car salesman. Thank you for the wonderful car buying experience.

Jonathan Wenger

I came to the lot simply wanting to test drive the Toyota Highlander that I had seen on the web. I was greeted by Jessica Blaha who let me test drive the vehicle then drive it to my home, some 20 miles away to show it to my wife. The next day we asked for another extended test drive and by the end of the second day we owned a beautiful used Highlander. Jessica and the folks at Conklin have done everything that I could have askedd for as a customer. I never felt like they were pushing anythnig on me and my wife and I are very pleased with the vhicle that we puchased.

Jerry Harter

Service is good

Ronda Thomas

Really great service and friendly staff. Just had my truck serviced, they were super fast

Sherril Kerr

Had a great experience. Got very nice vehicle and the sales staff were great!!

Shirley Gal

Great deals

MEME MUA

Excellent job to Bronson and Larry for Giving hope for a brand new 2016 Honda Civic Touring!!!! God Bless you all!!

Darah Jewell

I had the pleasure of working with Pam S. at Conklin for my very first dealership experience. I was happy with the prompt service and found a great quality vehicle that suits exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend working with Pam, Bronson, and the rest of the crew at Conklin in Salina!

Rebecca

Andlee P. salesman at Conklin in Salina, really worked w//me. Explained everything as clearly as possible. Did give me a good buy on a really mice Prius 3! Will shop Conlkin again - home town! Sandra Z.

Jessika Meredith

My boyfriend took his honda in to get looked at. First off the mechanic who we kept calling we could never get ahold of and to top it off his attitude was horrible. When we found out the problem that was wrong was way out of our price range to fix it, he then proceeded to give us worse attitude as we lived out of town and it took us 2 hours to get there. My boyfriend was out of town for work and couldn't go pick up his car and when we did, we found out there was a huge dent on the front bumper where it looked like someone had hit it. It also got scraped on the other side. They didn't even bother putting the filter back on the engine where they took it apart. Worst service ever. Never going back

Linda Loder

I have bought so many vehicles here, I can't remember. But they don't stand behind what they sell. When I bought my truck in 2009, they sold me an "Easy Care" plan, insurance that covers nearly everything for 6 years or 100,000 miles. I couldn't believe what all they said it covered. So I bought it at a big price. At first the insurance covered what they said they'd cover, but after I had more problems, they didn't want to cover it anymore, so they made life more difficult for me. At first I could have Conklin say what I needed, and Easy Care would cover it, as agreed (and paid in full for, I might add). But they started making me leave my truck at Conklin for "up to" (and it got longer) 24 hours. No truck, no work. Mind you, this was just a flat tire!! No one could fix it or replace it till "time passed". Conklin wouldn't back me up on this." Easy Care" said Conklin didn't tell them my truck was there. That's why they didn't come in 24 hours. When I told the person at Conklin (a lady) what Easy Care had said, she said she didn't care what anyone said. So neither the insurance company, nor Conklin, cared about me, the life time customer. I'll never buy another vehicle from them again.

Sherri Bertrand

Recently bought my very first new vehicle, a 2014 Chevy Equinox, from Conklin Cars Salina. Had a great experience with Jeremiah Herwig, as he was very helpful and knowledgeable with any questions I had. He also had to deal with my son, who was my lead person on helping me choose a vehicle I wanted. Glad this first timer had such an easy transaction and I got a wonderful vehicle that I love!

Cole Windhorst

Best service I've experienced to date!

Kaleb Feist

I went in as a first time car buyer and they made everything so easy for me! It's a great feeling going to a place where the people are so approachable! I never thought in a millon years it would be so easy! I will definitely be going back for my next vehicle!!

James Menze

I have purchased many vehicles (in excess of 15) from Conklin Cars. Ronda Crist has been my sales person and Larry Henock has been the documents guy. They make purchasing truly painless. There is no high pressure. They know me and what I expect from an automobile and price. They truly exceed my high expectations every time. All of the people associated with Conklin Cars are truly professional and first class. I have referred many people to them and all have reported back the same experience I have mentioned above.

Vicky Spencer

As I was shopping for a car, I dealt with several salespeople in different locations, but Wade stood out above the rest. He found the perfect balance between presenting several options and backing off so I could process all the information. He was never too pushy and he was not only friendly and helpful while on the lot, but he followed up with timely research that helped me make my decision. Conklin Cars should keep this guy around! Larry was patient when a few kinks popped up and worked hard to get me the best interest rate possible. His business persistence and his patience while I read all the papers before signing, was greatly appreciated.

Mary Maginness

This was not my first experience with Conklin Cars service department, and as always, Jessie took very good care of me. She took her time to answer all my questions and didn't cause me to feel rushed. I had questions regarding the tread of my other vehicles tires and she offered me to bring it in anytime and they could check it for me. The manager Chuck greeted me by name and asked me how I was. I appreciated that greatly.

David Roberts

People there go out of their way to be helpful.

Mike Philbrick

Out standing, everyone was very helpful..

Corey Linton

We purchased our first Toyota Highlander from Conklin Cars in Salina 2 years ago and recently went back and purchased a newer model. Conklin's sales staff has been wonderful, helpful, informative, and not pushy. They provide quality information and let you make the choice to buy. Conklin in Salina also will negotiate fairly, again letting you know where you stand on a trade in as well as financially, allowing you to make a good decision. We have dealt with several Toyota dealerships in Kansas and Conklin Cars in Salina blows them out of the water with customer service, general maintenance service and their staff.

Martha Lewis

Great service every time! The waiting room is comfortble. It was easy to make the appt and they had good availability. The price is great!

Philip Meckley

We were in the market for a new car sooner than we thought we were going to have to. The buying experience was not high pressure, and the finance people got things put together really quick. And the CR-V is a great car.

Lynn Anna Jacobson

We have bought our last seven vehicles from Ronda Crist and have been very happy with our relationship with her. She has never pressured us to buy a vehicle from her and our experience has always been a great dealing with her. We normally call Ronda telling her what we would like to see at her dealership; then proceed to Conklin to check out that vehicle with her help. This would include a short test drive of the vehicle; then having Ronda inspect and describe the entire vehicle and its works very thoroughly. Ronda knows the vehicle completely; and can answer all questions. After buying the unit; Ronda is always there to help in any way possible to make our experience a joy. Our last vehicle was purchased last week for my wife (ANNA) , which was a 2015 Toyota Rav4 Limited. She is entirely happy with this unit ; and tells everyone this is the last one she will ever need !!! (till she trades again) Again we would suggest when you trade at Conklin Cars in Salina Ks., that you give Ronda Crist a call for a great buying experience.

Crystal Crick

I purchased a preowned 2015 Chevrolet Malibu on February 20, 2016. My past experiences with car shopping was less than fun but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to test drive and purchase my new car. Pam Severson and I hit it off instantly and she made sure I was well taken care of through the entire process. I highly recommend Pam and Conklin Cars.

Michelle Dunlap

Matt Wallace did an excellent job for us! He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and taken care of! We will definitely be back for our next vehicle purchase!

Rosalie Bhatnagar

Salesman was knowledgeable considerate and patient.

Gene Winkler

I have leased my last 3 vehicles from Conklin Cars at Salina. Matt Bange has been the sales person on all three. When I did my lease on my 2011 Silverado I call him and told him what I wanted. Drove to Salina and it was all ready to go and I had not even seen before that day. Last month I called Matt and told him I wanted a new Traverse, but had 8 payments left on my lease. Not a problem, They had what I wanted in stock and worked out the payments I wanted to pay. Went to Salina and everything was taken care of in about an hour. My Traverse had more on it than I wanted but loving it very much. Thanks Matt.

William Alexander

I was very happy with my service and experience I had with Conklin of Salina. They were very courtious and helpful. I would definately be a return customer.

Jonathan Weaver

I would not recommend anyone to go to this place. I was on my way to Colorado and my car gave out they told me that it would be over six thousand dollars. They did not want to help me with anything. They said I only have two choices to buy a new car or fix it and they would only give me a thousand dollars for my car and it is worth close to ten thousand. The salesman I talked to was as mean as a snake and not very friendly. I took the car somewhere else and they said that that wasn’t even the problem with the car. Not impressed with the dealership. Would not even give them one star.

Carol Duggan

Good service & car wash

Debbie Baker

Marisa helped us with a Toyota Venza. Found the car online and really didn't know much about the model. She thoroughly impressed us with her knowledge and thoroughness of the vehicle. Showed us just about every bell and whistle and we felt somewhat confident in our ability to program things when we drove off the lot. In all our years of car buying we've never had anyone take that much time to really "show" us the car. We are a tad disappointed in follow up though. We've purchased many cars in our day and we always get some kind of follow up phone call, letter or even email. Just to make sure things are going well and we don't have any questions or concerns. It's been almost one month and haven't heard a word, other than a form letter email asking us to do a survey. That won't stop us from buying another car at Conklin, it just isn't great customer service, in my opinion. We were also promised a bottle of touch up paint and haven't received anything. Maybe it's been ordered? We would probably know that if Conklin cars had followed up after the sale.

Timothy Green

My oil change was cheap, quick, and done by a Toyota guy... What's not to like!?!?

Karen Thayer

Bought a 2017 Spark this week, everyone was really nice to work with. Thank you Joel Correa for the showing me how everything works on my car.

Camalene Northcutt

Last month we ran into trouble with our Chevy truck during a 14-hour drive home from Colorado to St. Louis. It was a Sunday afternoon so we had to stay over at a hotel that evening and wait until the dealership opened the next morning. We took the truck there as soon as they opened and the service department could not have been nicer or more professional! They immediately took the truck in, found the issue, fixed it and we were back on the road in an hour. Thank you so very much!

Clint Rogers

I can not say enough about dealing with Kam Xaysongham and Conklin Cars. Kam makes it the so easy to buy a car. Over the years, we have bought 4 or 5 vehicles from him, and everytime it is simple, straightforward, and painless. I now use Conklin for service and body work as well. Lon in service is great as well. There is never any pressure, and both are always willing to help in anyway they can. Thank you.

George Felix

I limped my broken Prius into the Service Department here and worked with Lon Beffort who went above and beyond to assist me on my most difficult cross country move. Thank you Lon and Conklin for going the extra mile! I recommend these folks highly.

Lorita Nichols

We have purchased two Malibu's from Conklin Cars in Salina. Joshua Knoll has been the salesman on both vehicles. He never pushes the sell but shows you all options on buying the vehicle at the best price! Joshua takes the time to get to know you and your needs and then talks to you about the vehicles that would meet that need. He walked us through the new options on the new Malibu and then followed up with a phone call and e-mail to see how the car was performing, if it met our expectations. Joshua has made our car buying experience a good one!

Gina McDonald

They do an outstanding job for a reasonable price for maintenance of vehicle. Would and do highly recommend Conkins in Salina.

William Allen Crowder

Very friendly

Jason Bathon

Stopped in today and was greatly relieved to have such competent and pleasant staff. I had an issue with my 2013 Chevy Equinox LTZ and even though they didn't have to, thet went above and beyond helping me out. Huge shout out to the service center manager, Chuck. As well as Jessie and the other guy whose name I didn't get. Thanks to their efforts today, they won over a customer. I will be going here for all my service needs. I can see why they have such stealer reviews already! Thanks!

Todd Ruskin

I just purchased a new truck from Conklin Cars Salina today (5/10/18). My salesman Jason Langen, went above and beyond to get me a great deal that fit my budget perfectly. I hate nothing more than a pushy salesman. At no point did I feel obligated to make a deal, like a few salesmen have made me feel at other dealerships. Jason Langen, made it a very smooth, no pressure deal. I am 100% pleased with my Conklins experience, from start to finish! Thank you Jason Langen for a very smooth transaction. MUCH appreciated!!

Aleisha Corbin

I brought my car to a Century Chevy in Colorado because it was making a noise in the left front. I was told that everything was fine and that my car has 45,000 miles now and it's bound to start making noise. Mind you, my 2018 Equinox is only a year and a half old. I asked the technician to ride with me to hear the noise. He did and said he thought it was a strut mount and didn't need to be fixed. He said that they could spend a day on it if I really wanted but he didn't think it was necessary. I feel like this was very poor service. I just happened to be going on vacation to Kansas which is where I bought the car so I made an appointment with Conklin. It turns out that the sway bar links, strut mount and bearings are going bad. Conklin was able to resolve the problem and made me a priority. Thank you so much for the great service! I wish we had a Conklin in Colorado.

Bernie Clawson

Never go to this lousy dealer. I had the salesman named Roland Vasquez and I didn't like the car I bought and I took it back as I was told I could and they said they got rid of my pickup truck and put me in a piece of junk car and I'm stuck with it now.

Yair Segal

Great and fast service. Jason Langen was honest and knew just what to suggest according to my vehicle needs. He did a great job taking care of all the little details. I highly recommend him.

Leslie Betts

Great dealership, service oriented, and very friendly.

Brandon Perkins

Conklin and Marisa Frank worked with us on getting the Honda Fit we wanted. Marisa was very friendly, knowledgeable and low pressure throughout the process. Very happy with our new Fit!

PC L

super helpful when on a road trip and my gas tank needed immediate attention so i could keep traveling.

Thomas Elliott

Bought a 2002 Saturn SC from here. The salesman, Jeremiah Herwig, was friendly, honest, and very helpful. He got me a great deal and made sure that I was happy with my purchase. He's also followed up by calling and emailing to make sure I was satisfied with the car. The buying experience was great, and the car itself is even better. It looks good, runs great, and hasn't had a problem in the month I've driven it. A+ experience all around.

james koehn

This was my 5th new vehicle from Conklin, very good sales and service. Thanks Bronson and Garrard. Jim and Karen.

Cody Pierson

I went to Conklin to look at a truck they had on their site. Jason approached my wife and I and I was less than receptive. I was very pleased with his “minimal pressure/here to inform and help” attitude. He was knowledgeable and quick to admit when he didn’t know. He then went and found that information for us. His transparency made our purchase enjoyable rather than painful. Do look him up if you’re in the market for a car or truck.

Adrienne Vacura

Awesome customer service!

AllPack Battery

I went over needing a new vehicle but needed my payments at a certain amount. Collin Ringle helped me. He wasn't pushy, got me the van I wanted with the payment I wanted (with Larry's help.) I couldn't get off of work so they brought the van to me along with the paperwork. I didn't have to go in until I picked up the van and signed the papers! It was a great experience! Thanks Collin

Blake Engler

Toyota sent me a notice on possible frame corrosion on my truck and it needed to be checked. I called Conklin Cars, informed them, and was told to come in on Saturday for inspection/possible repair. When I arrived...I was told that no one was there to inspect it AND it would cost me a few hundred $ on a FREE inspection at a LATER date??? *Smh, I drove 100 miles just to get there. Some of the staff there are extremely friendly BUT...In Fall of 2017, I had a family member bring his Honda Ridgeliner in and was treated absolutely awful by another group of staff. That’s strike 3 guys, yourrrrrrr OUT! Will be moving to a different/better truck brand in the future.

Cassie Gorman

We purchased a 2012 Chevy Equinox from Conklin Cars. Bret Shank was our salesman and took very good care of us. He was courteous and very knowledgeable about the vehicle. They were busy at the dealership so he made sure that we were comfortable while we waited on paperwork. Once we purchased the vehicle, Bret took the time to show us how to use all of the technological devices in the car. He set up my iPhone and showed me how to use it with the vehicle. He went over all of the safety features with us again and made sure we understood everything before leaving. In the past, we have not enjoyed car shopping/purchasing. Bret made this experience "pain free." Given this experience, we would go back to Bret and Conklin in the future.

Outtside KS

They really did a good job; more than competitive, professional, friendly, no sales tricks, and courteous. I met mostly with Ronda, who did a tremendous job, but all were great.

ronnie mcwhirt

We'll it's really hard to pick just one area. The whole time I was there everyone was great to work with. From the Chevy service repro the salesman and loan officer. Can't have a better bunch of professional people to work with. It was great.

Gustavo Levrero

Excellent service and Customer Care. This is definitely a 5 stars Dealership. I've bought my Honda Accord Hybrid from them. Special commendation to Mr. Josh Knoll, always there for the customer, always working to fulfill the customer needs. I would and I will recommend Conklin Cars to a friend. Gustavo Levrero.

David Searles

Impressed with the service department which has been the sole maintainer of my wonderful new style Impala. But when the transmission quit 700 miles away they refused to help expedite the repair which has taken a month, so far. What good is a dealer if they won't back you up when you have trouble?

Amy Suskey

Had wrong price quoted when I got there. Was told they clean and vacuum with every service...did not happen. Not sure if they had me mistaken for another customer. I did end up paying less than I was originally quoted which was good but only because I had been quoted incorrectly and then they couldn't do one of the services that I didn't even ask for but they thought I had. They were polite but not friendly. Not feeling confident about them right now.

Tyler Brakner

I would NOT recommend Conklin Cars to anyone looking to trade in their current vehicle. I can not speak about purchasing a car outright from them, however I was looking to trade in my car on another newer car and they majorly low balled the trade in value. After the sales manager came out onto the sales floor, he proceeded to explain that my car, which has a clean title and auto report history, that it was in a wreck and was not worth the market value. After excusing myself and declining their offer, he continued to walk out to the parking lot and point out flaws on the car. Yes, it was a 2007 with 80,XXX miles on it, and it will have a few chips here and there but was not in a wreck, and in my opinion, was just a reason they were trying to knock down the trade in value. Buyer beware, your trades are no good here, I had much better luck at Zeck Ford in Leavenworth Kansas, it was worth the drive.

Hal Peterson

We totaled our new 2013 Prius V on Jan 30th, which we had purchased from Conklin Cars just 10 months prior. By February 10th, we took delivery on a new 2014 Prius V from Conklins. They were super to work with, were willing to basically sell us the newer version for the same cost as our wrecked (but still new!) Prius. Even though our insurance settlement was less than what we originally put down, Conklin's was able to make the deal with the same balance financed as before. Although we lost our 0% financing, F&I (Allen Brown) was able to get the new car financed at 1.6%, which is about as close to 0 as you can get. Our Sales Rep., Pam Severson, worked tirelessly from the moment we called her to find us a replacement of the same make, model and color of the wrecked Prius V that we really loved. Even though she was leaving on a trip, she worked right up to the last minute to find what we wanted. I certainly give her 5 stars! Her manager, Scott Johnson, continued the good work and had everything ready to close by the time Pam returned. Another 5 Stars! Same goes for Allen Brown, F&I, who found the great financing, handled transferring the additional 100,000 mile warranty to the new car and basically took care of everything needed to get us back to where we had been before the wreck. Another 5 Stars! Overall, our experience with Conklin Cars has been the best we've ever had in purchasing an auto, both 10 months ago and again just recently. Five Stars all the way.

Clint Smith

I actually want to give them ZERO stars but Google reviews will not permit it! I read many reviews about car dealerships in Salina and felt as comfortable as possible about the reviews for Conklin Cars and most salespersons. However, after dealing with them today, specifically salesman Kam and Business Manager Larry, I can tell you the reviews here on Google, Yelp and other sites are relatively meaningless and I will never deal with them again or recommend Conklin Salina to anyone. The truth cannot change after the deal and handshake is made. Period. If you go to pay for the car and the paperwork does not support what the salesman told you, the truth has not changed...they knowingly are lying to you. In our case, our salesman Kam looked us (my elderly parents and I) in the eye and shook our hands based upon a set price and understood warranty of a certified used car. Then when confronted about the warranty paperwork on the car just prior to writing a check for full price of the car, Kam complete changed what he told us prior to shaking our hands about the warranty (supposedly based upon the great deal he got us...). If I had not been there my elderly parents would not have thought to ask to see all warranty paperwork prior to paying for the car and would have been completely misled on the warranty for the used car. As a military service member, I find this kind of service completely UNSATISFACTORY and I hope all who read this review take my advice.

Dealership told me I needed an alignment. Couldn't do that day due to time so scheduled back to do it. When they finished with my appt and I was paying my bill of $60 they told me they were just fine. I told thembthat while they were serving my car they told me my car needed to be aligned. I was told that they were within normal speck and didn't need to have anything done to them. Charged me $60 to tell me I didn't need the work that they originally told me I did need.

I bought my car from Conklin and I've takin it in for service there a couple of times and was always happy. However, after yesterday I will NEVER go to the Salina service center again!!! I had just bought tires for my car a week ago, so I took it to Conklin for an alignment and I also had them replace spark plugs and belt while I was there. When I picked up my vehicle I didn't even make it out of the driveway before my stability control light and abs light came on. So they said they would check it out for me, and then told me that my wheel bearing had went out and it was nothing they had done and it would be $330+ to fix. Well being that I had an unexpected expense early this week and that I had just paid them $300 for alignment/tune up, I didn't have enough to pay more. I was already pretty upset since my car drove fine when I got there. There wasn't any warning that bearing was going bad or grinding noise ,and I had another place check it all out when I had tires put on! I asked him if it was ok to drive it home and I'd be able to get work done next week and he assured me "it would be just fine". I get back in my car and didn't even go 20 feet before my car was jerking all over and the anti lock brakes were going crazy so I parked it. He came out cause he seen it and suddenly remembered that the sensor in the bearing would make it do that. I'll admit by that time I was angry and had lost my patients with this guy, and I'm still upset about the whole ordeal. It was fine when I drove it there and now it's not? I can't prove it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the mechanic hadn't damaged the sensor wire on accident or maybe even on purpose! The service manager finally told me that if I could pay for the part he wouldn't charge me for labor so it would cost $130. I live about an hour away and had nobody close enough to help me so I had no other option but use the last few dollars I had to fix it! I will never go back there and my husband has changed his mind about trading his truck in for a newer vehicle there as well! I'd give a no star rating if that was possible!

Sales was your typical car sales experience

I've only been here once, and it was such a poor experience I will never go back; even if a vehicle is cheaper here, which is rarely the case. The salesman was very pushy. When I told him my situation and the cars I liked, he told me they were all bad ideas. "Why would you get a Chrysler, they are so bad..." You figured since it's my money I could buy whatever I want. Also, after telling him my budget numerous times, he insisted on spending just "$5-8 thousand more" I believe the salesmens name was Jeff. I knew what car I wanted. Suggestions are fine but backing me into a corner and attacking me with constant, passive aggressive remarks, no thank you. Even if you disagree with my choices, there is no need to be so vocal. Nonetheless, my friends and family know to stay away after some have witnessed the same treatment. I will forever shame on this pathetic excuse of a car dealership. The customer service is so unfathomable, I still don't understand how they make a profit.

I asked to see a car they didn't have on site. They told me before they got the car I had to commit to it. How would I know if I wanted it for sure unless I looked at it. Went to Wichita and got a car. I would have loved to have gotten a car closer to my home from them but that wasn't the case. To bad. Plan to buy another this year. Not sure what to do now.

By far, purchasing our 2011 Toyota Tundra from Josh at Conklin's was THE EASIEST AND SMOOTHEST transaction EVER!!!!!!! We'll be back for our next vehicles FOR SURE!!! Thanks Josh for being truthful, honest, ethical, gentle, approachable, quick, and for personally delivering it to Oklahoma!!!!

I purchased a new 2015 Honda Accord EX from Conklin Cars of Salina 16-days ago. I contacted Conklin Cars first via email expressing my interest in purchasing a specific car that I had located at a Honda dealer in Boulder via the Internet. What was special or unique about the car was that the car had to be an EX with a manual transmission. I live in Blue Springs, MO and had run the gambit of all the Honda dealers in the greater Kansas City area; only to be told “sorry, but we did a search and did not find a 2015 Honda Accord EX with a manual transmission available anywhere in the 5-state area.” One dealer, in particular, went so far to say, “Well, you realize that only about 5-6% of Honda Accords are manufactured with manual transmissions.” Salesperson, Bronson Scott and sales manager, Brian Garrett went the extra mile to get me the car that I wanted. I just wish Conklin Cars was not located so far away. Honda dealers in the KC area could learn a thing or two about selling cars from Conklin. What happened to the old adage that the customer is always right? I may be only one of the 5-6%, but that’s OK, as long as dealers like Conklin are in your corner fighting to get you in the car that you want.

Recently purchased a new Caddy from Jeremiah Herwig at Conklin. First time buying from Conklin. It was, by far, the easiest car buying experience ever! Usually I'm in a dealership for hours fighting over every little thing (due to them advertising one price and then it changes when you get there!) Jeremiah was so helpful and easy to deal with, I didn't feel pressured at all, a VERY nice change.

Lourdes Rivera

Always a great experience, the staff is very nice and friendly.

Michael J. Manley

Great service, they really try to find the car you want. Marisa and Chad were great! Thanks.

This dealership has been my favorite since 2008 when I purchased the car I am still driving today from Scott Johnson. The vehicle is a Honda Accord and it is running strong at 110K, My wife and my recent experience also included one of Scott's wonderful sales persons now on the Toyota side of Conklin. We received throughout our leasing experience wonderful service, low pressure and wonderful help from Larry the Legend in gaining the financing to lease our 2016 Toyota Highlander! Our sales person Pam Severson has continued to go over and beyond with her help after the sale, my wife is so thrilled with her genuine caring and personal nature to just offer what ever she can do. I have referred two friends and my brother in law and sister are enjoying their second leased vehicle from this Conklin site and they live clear in Topeka and still chose to come here twice. I highly recommend this wonderful team and Conklin Cars in Salina, KS....you will not be disappointed!

I had limited time the day I test drove, and the day I completed the purchase of my Honda Odyssey. I was able to complete the test drive and get all my questions answered within an available hour on the first day, and after completing my own sale/purchase preparations that evening I was able to finish the purchase over my lunch hour the next day. My salesman, Brian, was very knowledgeable and did not waste any of my time - in the selection process or in the final deal. Conklin Cars offered me a fair deal on my trade-in without haggling, and they were extremely easy and pleasant to work with when negotiating the price of the new car. I would purchase another car through Conklin Cars Salina, and I would recommend them to my friends and family.

Derek Pihl

Conklin Cars (& Matt Wallace specifically) did a great job helping me find a Toyota Tacoma that I was happy with at a price I was comfortable with!

Carol Bearnes

Friendly sales staff provided courteous and knowledgable service. My sales man really went out of his way to help me find the car I was looking for. I am very happy with my "new" used car. I will definitely deal with Conklin Cars again!

Marisa Frank spent a lot of time, months, to find the perfect auto for me and when it came in she spent most of 2 days working with my husband and me, test driving with us, negotiating with us and in the end, becoming friends with us. She showed me everything I need to know and made sure we were completely happy with our purchase. I love my Toyota Highlander and if and when I need to replace it, I know just where I want to go and who I want to work with.

Joel Correa

Great place to buy a new vehicle!

These people can't even fix an ac compressor bunch of idiots work there

We had an excellent experience purchasing our minivan from Janet Bell. She was very understanding of car shopping with a baby: his occasional crying and breaks for nursing did not phase her one bit. I appreciated her patience while I drove 4 different vans multiple times having to move the baby from one to another. Never once did I feel rushed or like I was wasting her time. It was her ability to coordinate the sale over the phone and fax along with delivering the van that same evening that completed our great experience with her and Conklin. Thank you, Janet!

Terrible service center. Something wrong with your car? Don’t take it here!

I think Conklin motors needs to work on their communication between departments. I have been to Salina which is 100 miles from my home three times for the same recall on my 2004 Toyota. The last two times I specifically called in advance and asked if they had the parts as it is 100 miles from my home. I was assured that they were there. I arrived at my appointment time both times and left the dealership as they had assured me the parts were there. Both times they called me back to the dealership and said that they needed to order more parts. The last time they apologized and assured me that they would call me when the parts were in. That was in MAY!!! I am going to Salina again next week and have been calling to see if the parts are in. After leaving two messages and asking them to return my call, I gave up and just asked for the Toyota service department. They told me I'd have to bring my car back down and have them "test" it to see if it even needed parts!! After transferring me and calling me back several times, they discovered that indeed that had tested it some time ago and ordered the parts but they were not able to tell me why the parts had not been received. I decided I would check in about the recall on my 2013 Avalon if they were unable to work on my 2004. I had given them a copy of the recall in May when I was there. They told me the parts were on back-order at that time. They couldn't even locate my 2013 recall!! I was told that the reason I was not getting a return call was that the main desk had been transferring me to the voice mail of the Honda maintenance center!!!! Don't you communicate between departments. I have been working on the recall for my 2004 for over 8 months! I can't believe the poor record keeping and communication between departments. It makes me think that I should NEVER buy a Toyota from Conklin Motors if they can't even service them!

We just purchased a new vehicle. The whole transaction was very fast. We knew what we wanted, they produced and we came together on a deal. Our salesman was very courteous and professional. This is the 3rd vehicle we have purchased from him. Makes for a very happy customer.

Brian John

Waste of time!!!! Won't work with the costumer. Will give you bottom dollar for your trade. Don't go to this dealership highway crooks

Pierce Randall

Bought my first new vehicle from Conklin Cars and I'll be back for more! very honest and easy to work with. I was traveling a lot for work at the time I bought the vehicle, and they made it easy to do most of the process over the phone. Great guys!

Shawna Carter

Josh Knoll is not only a professional and knowledgeable part of the Conklin Cars Sales team, but over the many years we have been doing business at Conklin Cars, he has become a friend. My experiences with Josh have always been positive and he has ensured that I always walk away a happy customer. His service after the sale is second to none!! If you're making your first trip to Conklin Cars, ask for Josh Knoll and you can also walk away a happy customer!

A few weeks ago my husband and I were traveling home from vacation when our Highlander's ABS and cruise control quit working. We stopped by the Conlkin service department and explained to Rodger Peck, Service Advisor our concern of continuing our travels. Rodger quickly and professionally conducted an analysis of our problems, understanding we still had a long ways to go on a road much of which was desolate. We are so very appreciative of the care and concern Rodger and the service department showed us! We were back on the road in no time at all. Thanks to all the service department and lobby personal for their kindness and hospitality.

Kristy Burks

Quick and reliable service with a friendly staff. I love that I get a courtesy car when I bring in my vehicle for routine servicing.
