The salesman PAUL, was excellent very diligent and a hard worker. Never pushy... it took me a lil over a month to decide on a car. He was always patient and great to work with!! I will DEFINITELY return for future vehicle purchases. More

Terrible salesperson The salesperson that we dealt with, had a smug better than everyone attitude. After we did not like his offer, he was very rude. We knew that we had a The salesperson that we dealt with, had a smug better than everyone attitude. After we did not like his offer, he was very rude. We knew that we had awesome credit, but he continued to want to use a 4 and 5 point interest. When we didn't like the payment, he became very irritated. If he would have listened to us and checked out credit score, he would have had a much better interest rate and payment. Went to another top reviewed ford place about 40 minutes away the following evening and was treated with friendliness and respect. Had our vehicle and our payment less than we asked, the very same evening. More

Awesome People and Service at Cloninger Bought a 2016 GT350 from this dealership. Picked up their allocation of the car and was asked if I wanted to change anything about the allocation; I Bought a 2016 GT350 from this dealership. Picked up their allocation of the car and was asked if I wanted to change anything about the allocation; I thought that was very nice of them. Of course the wait time for the car was not on the dealership, but the factory producing the car; however, James Crawford and Rodney Sailors were always there to answer my pesky and somewhat often questions about the status of the car. Car was prepped exactly how I wanted it with zero complaints there. The buying process was straight forward with little to no hang ups. Great people at Cloninger and I am overjoyed with the GT350.

Greatest experience ever Since I bought my car back in Janurary of 2014, I have had nothing but great service from Cloninger Ford of Hickory. I bought a new 2014 Focus and I l Since I bought my car back in Janurary of 2014, I have had nothing but great service from Cloninger Ford of Hickory. I bought a new 2014 Focus and I love the car. I had to take it in to get my clutch repaired and right away Cloninger had me a Rental car. Then I went back to get my remote start put on my car and since the guy wasn't available at that time, I was given a service car. Today, I had to get a small scuff out of the back of my car that happened when it was there and they were fixing it as soon as I said I had time. The great customer service I received was the best. I've never been to a dealership that would treat you like this. Cloningers manager Bobby had them pick up my car, while I was at work and brought it back in what seemed like no time. Not only did they bring it back to me where I couldn't even tell where the scruff had been but it was washed. Now that's Customer Service. I would gladly recommend Cloninger to everyone and I will definitely be purchasing my next new vehicle from them. More

BIG SMILEY FACE!!! First time I did not believe I would be driving out with a new car a Ford Focus 2014 so I was in shock. Second time I go in for a Auto repairing reca First time I did not believe I would be driving out with a new car a Ford Focus 2014 so I was in shock. Second time I go in for a Auto repairing recall and oil change etc. And to my surprise again a car I wanted but could not afford at that time last year I drove out again with a Ford Fusion 2016. That Eric Smith is a Rock Star! A professional, and he truly does care about his customers! I would only buy, and suggest to everyone that is interested in buying a car ask for Eric Smith I found him to be truthful and if he can find any deals he will seek to find it for you. To Eric get Ford to do lady colors like pastels pink and purples LOL.. Renee Zachary More

Lack of courtesy & professionalism After driving an hour to look at a vehicle, I was very disappointed in the treatment that I received at this dealership. I was assisted by Zack Queen, After driving an hour to look at a vehicle, I was very disappointed in the treatment that I received at this dealership. I was assisted by Zack Queen, and he was rude before we even visited the lot to look at the vehicle which we were interested in potentially purchasing. I was very up-front with Mr. Queen and told him that we were looking at a newer vehicle at another dealership, but were more interested in the particular vehicle at his dealership if they were willing to be flexible (at all) on the price. He responded, "well, then why did you drive all of the way up here?". After making a special trip on a weekday morning to see the car, his arrogant tone was unprofessional and completely unnecessary. He also took a call which appeared to be from another customer and put the phone down momentarily to avoid having to listen to her speak- again, this was unprofessional (especially when sitting in front of a potential customer). I drove the vehicle, and we went back to the office to discuss the final price. I told him that it was perfectly fine if the price could not be adjusted, and we would go with the other vehicle that weekend. I was not disappointed in the dealership's inability to change the price as much as I was disheartened to be treated as though I was simply an inconvenience. My husband and I have looked for a new vehicle at 4 other dealerships in the last couple of weeks, and no other salesman/woman treated me in this way. I really hate to write a negative review, but I felt like others should know what to possibly expect from this dealership. More

Very Happy with Cloninger Ford I went to Cloninger Ford of Hickory about 2 weeks ago to get my 2012 Ford Fusion serviced ;regular oil change tires rotated etc . While there I decide I went to Cloninger Ford of Hickory about 2 weeks ago to get my 2012 Ford Fusion serviced ;regular oil change tires rotated etc . While there I decided to look at the new Ford Focus. I bought the first one I picked out because of it's looks and color and especially after I drove it. It fits like a glove and rides like a much bigger car. This was a tough decision since I was so satisfied with my Ford Fusion which was averaging 32 MPG in the Mountains .My Sales person Scott Smith and the staff did an excellent job. This is my second new Ford from Cloninger. .My sales person Scott Smith and the staff did an excellent job More
