When it comes to buying a used car, trust is everything — and Conway residents are quick to share who’s earned it. One Facebook user sparked a lively discussion on social media with a simple question:

“Looking for a reliable, honest used car dealer in town — where do y’all recommend?”

The thread quickly filled with firsthand experiences, warnings, and a few hidden gems, as locals chimed in to help a fellow driver avoid lemons and dealer drama.

🏆 Local Favorites

Several names rose to the top with repeated praise for honesty, fair pricing, and no-pressure sales:

  • Jay Hodge Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram – While technically a new car dealer, multiple commenters vouched for the used inventory and customer service, calling the sales team “straightforward and professional.”

  • Payless Auto Sales – Mentioned often for their reasonable prices and “no shady business.” One user wrote, “I bought my last two vehicles here. Never felt pressured, and they were upfront about the history.”

  • Coggins Used Cars – A smaller operation, but well-loved for being “family-owned and super chill.” Several residents praised the owner for being transparent and patient with buyers.

🚘 Tips from the Community

In addition to dealer suggestions, Conway locals offered some practical advice:

  • 🔎 Run a Carfax report – even if the dealer provides one. Independent verification is key.
  • 🛠️ Bring someone with you who knows cars – especially if you’re not comfortable under the hood.
  • Don’t be afraid to walk away – more than one person said the best deals come when you’re willing to say no.

⚠️ The Ones to Be Cautious About

While the thread remained mostly positive, a few users shared cautionary tales about experiences with hidden fees, pushy sales tactics, or vehicles that didn’t live up to their online descriptions. As always, buyer beware — but at least now, with some solid leads.


Whether you’re hunting for your teen’s first car or upgrading your own ride, Conway locals agree: reputation matters more than the sticker price. Thanks to the collective wisdom of the community, navigating the used car scene just got a little easier.
