    Hello, my name is Paul Kennemore, Sales Consultant at Folger Automotive.

    I served for five years as a sonar technician in the U.S. Navy Submarine Service, have taught middle and high school, worked behind the scenes on a feature film crew, and I am now excited to be on the sales team here at Folger Automotive! I have only been at Folger for a few weeks now but I love working here. The staff and management make a very comfortable and supportive working environment which I believe carries over to our customers' experience at the dealership.

    I love outdoor activities and have the utmost regard for Subaru's entire line of great cars. I currently own my second Subaru, a 2005 Forester I bought while living in snowy New England and am perpetually impressed with its capabilities on and off the beaten path!

    I am also excited to be learning about Buick's very luxurious line of fine cars and the various brands and models on our pre-owned and Certified lot. I welcome every opportunity to share what I'm learning with new customers and have them challenge me to learn even more!

    Hello my name is Ned Bridgford, Sales Consultant at Folger's Automotive.

    While new to the auto industry, I'm not new to Folger Automotive or sales and excellent customer service. Growing up in Charlotte my parents have bought many Buick's from Folger Automotive, and I still own my late fathers' 95 Buick Park Ave., which by the way?was bought at Folger's. While looking some where to park my 25 years insurance and financial product sales experience, I came across this great opportunity to join the Folger dealership, and participate in their long and storied history of automotive sales and exceptional customer service. I will be contacting a lot of old friends and look forward to making a lot of new friends while continuing my long time commitment to satisfactory customer focused results.
