Success Story: Kightlinger Motors, Inc.

SEDA-COG provided Kightlinger Motors, Inc. with a $580,000 SBA 504 loan to purchase a 30,560 square foot retail showroom and garage on approximately 8.78 acres of land located in Coudersport, Potter County. This loan enabled them to purchase the property that presently houses their retail auto sales and maintenance repair business.

Kightlinger Motors, started by Dan Kightlinger, Sr., has been a family owned business since 1978. His sons Joseph and Daniel Jr. took over the family business in 1997.

The dealership sells Chevrolets, Buicks, GMC, and Ford products as well as certified used vehicles in the Northeast. The dealership, along with its 30-bay service department, also offers complete body repairs, parts/accessories, 24-hour towing, and daily rental cars. They are a Pennsylvania State certified Co-Stars Dealership for both General Motors and Ford.

According to Joe Kightlinger, “SEDA-COG was very easy to work with. They initially gave me a workbook to look over so I knew what to expect, then they would simply e-mail me a hit list that I would work on until complete!”
