On 3/05/24 my husband and I went to this dealership to purchase a vehicle. We met James, our salesman, and we really liked him. He worked with us and got us into the vehicle we wanted. Great experience all around! Until….fast forward to 6/17/24 when I was driving home and smoke started filling up my brand new vehicle from the air vents. A flame briefly came up from under the hood and I heard a very loud explosion type noise and my windshield has a dent in it. The dealership was closed at this point so I got the vehicle home ...

On 3/05/24 my husband and I went to this dealership to purchase a vehicle. We met James, our salesman, and we really liked him. He worked with us and got us into the vehicle we wanted. Great experience all around! Until….fast forward to 6/17/24 when I was driving home and smoke started filling up my brand new vehicle from the air vents. A flame briefly came up from under the hood and I heard a very loud explosion type noise and my windshield has a dent in it. The dealership was closed at this point so I got the vehicle home and called the dealership the next day. I spoke with Hayden and explain what happened. We agree the best way to get it to them was to have it towed so I did that. When my car left on the tow truck the odometer was at 3970 with 334 miles to empty. Hayden also said we would not be able to get a loaner but that this would not be a same day fix. He reasoning was that we would have to wait for the vehicle to be diagnosed, wait for parts to come in if needed and then wait for repairs to being. Mind you we’ve had the vehicle for barely 3 months at this point. At 3:30 that same day Hayden called back and said that they test drove it twice for 15 minutes each. He said there was no evidence that anything happened. He said it was “perfectly safe” to drive and that he would have a driver bring it back. While my vehicle was there I kept track on my FordPass app. It showed me that the vehicle was on all day and that it never left that location. When he called the app said 331 miles to empty. I’m assuming that is from letting it just run. I wanted to confirm and not just rely on the app so when my car got back I looked at the odometer. It read 3989 with 325 miles to empty. We live 7.5 to 10 miles away from the dealership depending on which route is taken. 19 miles difference and 8-10 of those was driving it back to my house. There is no way it was test driven for 30 minutes total and only used 9-11 miles. Not to mention again that the vehicle never left the dealership until it was on its way back here. Once confirming I called and asked to speak to the service department manager. This is JC. I explained the situation and asked why our car wasn’t actually driven. He said we just let it run - which is completely different then what Hayden told me. JC got very defensive at this point and started being extremely unprofessional. The call was ended and I filed a complaint with Ford Corporate Customer Service. I received a call from my case handler today and he said he has reached out to them multiple times and has not received a call back. I’m pretty sure I spoke with every person in the dealership that day and not one of them cared that this vehicle is unsafe and that I have 3 children. When something else happens or God forbid something worse I want all of this documented since we were told it’s perfectly safe to drive. We’ll see. I would be very wary of this dealership as there are recalls on the same vehicle I have but different models for something causing a fire under the hood and they didn’t even bother to check that out. Instead they treated me like crap and insinuated that I am a liar. I love my vehicle so what would I gain from making this up? Nothing! Please do your due diligence before buying a vehicle from any dealership.

I waited a while to do a review, just because I've been bamboozled in the past by dealerships, so when it came down to it, I was honestly terrified. But I honestly think Cameron did an amazing job. This has been my first car that hasn't been a complete jalopy. Customer service and just the help was wonderful. This car has made me cry on more than one occasion, knowing I have a truly reliable car. So I can't express how thankful and grateful I am!

I am satisfied with my car that I got from this dealership. However, there is something sketchy going on within the finance team. The car was priced as $24,998. I was offered $10,000 for my car and I took the offer of $10,000. They upped the price of my car from $24,998 to $27,056 stating that my car was actually worth $8,000 and put the extra $2,000 into the price of my car with the title fee and license fee. This team NEVER told me my car was actually worth $8,000 and that $2,000 was going to be used to increase my total car payment. When confronted, the team ... Read More

This team NEVER told me my car was actually worth $8,000 and that $2,000 was going to be used to increase my total car payment. When confronted, the team said they didn’t put the amount into the paperwork because there wasn’t a spot for it. Why isn’t there a spot for it? That’s a red flag in my opinion. When asked why they didn’t tell me verbally, they said they don’t share it because they don’t have to and they aren’t obligated to share that information. The guy said “we just expect you to be able to understand”. I don’t trust this company. If you go here, buyer beware. They’ve lost all my future business.

Great place ....wonderful staff. They were not only helpful but a lot of fun to deal with. They made waiting on my new Maverick so worth it.

This dealership is running a bait and switch. They advertise a car online at a good price and when you contact them oh it's suddenly sold but let's help you find another. So I contacted them again a couple days later under a different name and they still have the car for sale. I will be contacting the ftc and any agencies with all my correspondence with them. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

We drove 2 hours to Friendship Ford of Lenoir for a truck we saw online not knowing what to expect from the staff. They were phenomenal. The atmosphere was very comfortable and they exude the friendship and caring mentality in all staff. Jonathan Williams went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted. He put us at ease from the moment we stepped on the lot. He was knowledgeable about the truck and was able to answer all of our questions.

It was the most pleasant experience I have had purchasing a new vehicle. It was worth the drive! Their price was thousands below Kelley Blue Book and they gave me a fair deal on my trade. Go see them if you want to be taken care of and treated like family! Actually better than Family.

I bought a ford edge from Friendship Ford and my salesman name was Holden and he was very nice and professional. I enjoyed my experience with this ford dealership. I would recommend it to anybody that's looking to buy a car.

Ford & its dealers need to get on the same sheet on service required. My receipt did not indicate if the required checks were completed. Disappointed.

It was a 3 hour drive to get there and longer to get back through Ashville traffic but was one of the best experiences I have ever had in any dealer ship. Had a problem with tire sensors and because of lack of time the owner gave me his personal cell with instructions to take it anywhere I wanted when I got home and fix it and it would be taken care of. This is not a new unit; it was a 2010 transit connect. The best folks I have ever encountered in a dealership and I could not say enough good ... Read More

The best folks I have ever encountered in a dealership and I could not say enough good things about the lady I first made contact with Miss Blue Kelly. She is a treasure for the Ford place and a pleasure to be around.

The people that i experienced at the King dealership were very attentive to my needs, they assumed nothing on what i wanted, apart from the obvious excellent service..They actually listened to my requests, paid attention to my questions, then actually answered them in an honest and sincere manor with no Bull ---- .

Fred and Eric were professional to a fault, whilst being friendly, informative and understanding. ABSOLUTELY no reservations in recommending them......

I was searching for a leftover 2017 F150 King Ranch and found exactly what I was looking for on-line. I submitted an inquiry and Nate contacted me as soon as the dealership opened the next day. Within 2 hours I had all of the information I needed including a quote for my trade-in and the deal was done. We took delivery of the truck yesterday and the paperwork process was a breeze as Nate was well prepared and efficient. The condition of the truck was spectacular as their detail person did a great job getting it ready (not always easy with a large black vehicle). We could tell the detail person took great pride in their work. I’ve purchased new Mercedes, BMWs and Porsches in the past and none of them were as well prepared as the King Ranch.

We looked at a few different places when I started looking for a car and some hounded me with texts, calls, emails, even calling my place of work to try to get me back to the lot. King Ford, however, listened to what I was looking for and provided information without pushing a vehicle on me. I love my new Focus and couldn't be happier about working with Nate. Would definitely recommend them to others and will be taking the SO back to look at a car there soon!
