Cloninger Ford offered the best rate on a low mileage vehicle with the specs I wanted as well as a good choice of vehicles at affordable rates. I drove from Spartanburg, SC an hour and 30 minutes to see vehicle with the specs I wanted as well as a good choice of vehicles at affordable rates. I drove from Spartanburg, SC an hour and 30 minutes to see the 2007 X3 BMW. From an initial email I received from my website submission, this was a smooth transition all the way through. Phone follow-up the next day had me sitting in the drivers seat test driving my vehicle and driving it home the same day. I arrived and was greeted by some of the friendliest, courteous, most knowledgeable and confident sales persons I had ever met at any dealership. Russell Taylor was assigned to assist me through the whole buying process. His demeanor was pleasant, calm, not stuffy or arrogant, non-threatening or pushy, very professional and his attention to detail was exceptional as well as the cooperation from the full staff there. I clicked and bonded with the team and felt I was treated fairly like a person should be and not as a client just spending money for a vehicle to increase sales. Cloninger Ford has an exceptional team of Sales Associates and I highly recommend doing business with them and will return should I need another vehicle in the future. More

We received a letter from the dealership offering to purchase good used cars. We weren't sure what would happen---probably just a run-around. We were greeted warmly and made it clear we were not inte purchase good used cars. We weren't sure what would happen---probably just a run-around. We were greeted warmly and made it clear we were not interested in trading cars. The salesperson was so nice and friendly. Our first offer was too low so we declined but asked for the free oil change. A second offer was made which was still lower than we wanted. After asking for a bit more money, we came to an agreement to sell the car. Our salesperson was wonderful as well as the general manager. After the paperwork was completed, we got the free oil change on our other car as well as a fill-up of the gas tank. I expected to get a few gallons of gas but was surprised to have the car completely filled up. I always have hated buying/trading cars. But this time was so pleasant. I actually feel like we made friends while there. I would definitely recommend this dealership. Good work, Mr Cloninger and we are glad to have this dealership in Hickory. More

I bought a 2004 Buick Rendezvous for a first car. Got to say Im very impressed I love the car and my salesman (Russel Taylor). He went out of his way just to make me happy. It took me around 3 weeks to gath say Im very impressed I love the car and my salesman (Russel Taylor). He went out of his way just to make me happy. It took me around 3 weeks to gather up everything I needed as far as a co-signer and a ride there. He did whatever he could to make my payments a small as possible and he did an awesome job!(It worked too I paid $0 down and only $168 a month for 4 years). Russel is a Very funny, kind, and caring man! My car is awesome and didn't cost me much at all! I would most defiantly recommend Cloninger Ford! Great prices, great salesmen, and a whole lot of selections. More
