This was my best experience ever with a dealership! Have dealt with other dealerships in the area, but they could never measure up to McKenney-Salinas.

Found the car I wanted on line at McKenney-Salinas. I called to make sure the car was still available and spoke with Jessica Fisher, who went to check to make sure that the car would be ready for me to test drive upon my arrival. When I pulled into the lot, there was the car with a card with my name on it; Jessica had reserved the car for me! Unbelievable? What amazing customer service! We, (my husband and I), were greeted at the door by the sales manager, Jonathan Zirbel and then introduced to Lance Black our sales associate. Lance went with us for a test drive (loved the car). We returned and started filling out the paperwork. We agreed on a fair price (my payments are exactly where I wanted them to be), Lance then turned over the necessary information to Chris Pressley, the finance manager so he could start on the contract. I was trading in my old vehicle and had looked up the current Bluebook value on that. I was given a very fair price for my trade-in (very happy about that as well).

From the time we arrived to the time all papers were signed and I was driving off of the lot with my new car? 2 hours! That is a record!

Everyone at McKenney-Salinas was so professional, incredibly pleasant and very efficient! These are quality people!

I hope to have my new car for many years but will be returning to McKenney-Salinas for any other family vehicles in the future. I would recommend McKenney-Salinas to anyone and everyone!

This was our third time purchasing a car from McKenney-Salinas, we went back because of the wonderful service we recieved the first two times in dealing with Lamont Stevenson, when we decieded to purchase our vechicle this was the only place we came to. We both felt ( my husband and I) that since Lamont had been so kind and helpful the first time we were there, there would be no reason to look elsewhere. And just like the first time, Lamont gave us his attention to workmanship, and detail, listened to what we wanted and then suggested several cars for us to look at. We settled on the Nissan and the paper work was taken care of in a very timely manner. Although it will hopefully be awhile before we need another car, we will certainly return to your dealership first. We have also suggested that our son check out your dealership, when he gets ready for a new vechicle. Thank you Lamont for being the kind of person you are and you can count on our coming back to see you.

Everything about the buying process was great except that the "out the door" price I was quoted was not honored when I went back to purchase the car. Apparently someone who supposedly had the authority to set the price gave me a 'price that can't possibly be honored' without the dealership supposedly losing money. I was extremely disappointed that I would have to pay $1700 more than the "out the door" price in order to purchase the car. I located a dealership an hour away that could beat your final price by $400 but decided to stay with the local dealership only because it's where I will bring the car for service and I hope to keep the good relationship I've had in the past with your service department. A $1700 'mistake' is a big deal to me, and I would hope that this isn't a common business tactic at McKenney Salinas. While I would still recommend your dealership to friends, I would caution them about agreeing to a price unless they can have a contract drawn up, verified and signed by the highest authority.

Steven helped me find the just the car that I needed and the price was right. The used car was certified and in good condition. I was especially impressed with the clean condition of the motor. It looked new! I was recommended to the dealership by a coworker and I will recommend others to this dealership.

I went to Honda after visiting a few other dealerships and the first person I met was Eddie Jarvis. He was very nice and not pushy. He let me test drive the 2013 Honda CRV and I loved it. I asked him straight out how much they would come down off the sticker price and that I also had a trade in. He was very honest and did not play games or try to take advantage of me considering I am a female. I was very pleased with the offer he gave me. I left to look around some more to make sure that is what I wanted. I came back with an hour and a half and bought the same car I test drove. He was very nice and honest with me the whole time. Him nor Roger tried to push me into letting them run my credit since I was already preapproved through my bank. They did tell me what they could offer me but they were not pushy. I would recommend Honda of Gastonia to anyone I visited 3 other dealerships and was given the run around mainly because I am a female. I love my new car and if I ever get another car my first stop will be to the Honda of Gastonia!! Thank you so much for your help, service, and honesty!!!

Deanna, my sales rep was very courteous and knowledgable. Low key, great follow up and did everything promised. She provided extra information I requested.
McKenny / Salinas did not provide all the sales purchase aggravation and hassle. Yes I did compare other dealers, although I really wanted to buy locally. Their price was fair the first time. Gave me their best price and no hastle. I bought . I am happy. Jerry

I was looking for a 2013 Honda CRV - EXL- Silver with gray interior. I looked on line and found 5 silver EXL's, but could not determine the interior color. I called and Jessica was very helpful pulling up the ones I had found and found one with the gray interior. She gave me the internet price so with that price I thought I may be able to make a deal if McKenney was able to work with me. I worked with
Dean Woodward (Sales) and Roger Hoyle (Finance) and we were able to reach an agreeable price. I didn't feel the pressure from them as you do at some of the dealerships. They got my car ready and the paperwork - I was able to leave with my new car that day-just about 30 minutes to an hour after the deal was completed.This was on Monday, May 6, 2013. Dean was very knowledgeable of the car and showed me all the features and even offered for me to come back at any time if I had additional questions on the vehicle. If you need a vehicle - See Dean Woodward.

I had a great experience ~ I had previouly gone to Hendrick Honda in Rock Hill and Concord. Rock Hill gave me a very good price ~ Concord beat making it a great price. Deanna was detmined not to let price be an issue. What I liked best was it took only 2 visits to the manager ~ the 2nd being clarification only.
It was fast, easy and the best price ~ that is all I was looking for!!

I found the vehicle on a website and called the dealership. David was very friendly and answered all of my initial questions about the vehicle. After talking with David, I was very comfortable with the vehicle and the dealership. I made the 100 mile drive to look at the vehicle in person. David was very professional with no high pressure sales tactics. Once I decided to by the car, David made the sales and finance process seamless. Once I got the car back home I realized the DVD headsets were missing. I made one call to David and had a new pair mailed to me the next day. I was very satisfied with the whole experience.
