When you’re shopping for used cars, SUVs, or new Chevrolets, it’s easy to get lost in the digital scroll of specs and prices. But buying a car is more than a transaction—it’s an experience. At Burns Chevrolet of Gaffney, we’ve built that experience over 100 years, and it’s why customers from Gaffney, Spartanburg, Greenville, Rock Hill, York, Shelby, and beyond continue to choose us. With over 1,000 5-star Google reviews, we’re not just a Chevy dealership—we’re a local institution committed to transparency, community, and a customer-first approach.
A Legacy of Trust and Community
Since 1923, our dealership has been a cornerstone of the Upstate’s automotive community. What began in Pageland, South Carolina, as a modest Chevrolet store has grown steadily over four generations into a multi-location presence throughout towns like Rock Hill, Lancaster, and Gaffney.
Through every era, we have been anchored by the trust our customers place in us. We’ve built that trust through consistency, fairness, clear pricing, and a sincere desire to serve—not just sell. Over time, our commitment to doing right by our customers has led to generations of families returning to us when it’s time for their next vehicle.
In 2023, as we marked our 100th year in business, we chose to celebrate by giving back. Through our 100 Days of Giving initiative, we donated over $10,000 to Cherokee County Meals on Wheels—an organization that serves a critical role in our community. But this was just one chapter in our ongoing story of service. Over the years, we’ve proudly supported numerous initiatives, including:
- The Alzheimer’s Association
- Cherokee County School District Athletics
- Fellowship of Christian Athletes
- Toys for Tots
As a local dealership, we believe it’s our duty to strengthen the communities that have supported us. We live here, work here, and raise our families here, just like you. When you choose to buy locally, you’re not just purchasing a car. You’re helping fund school programs, youth athletics, senior services, and local charities that shape lives every day.
Being a part of the community means showing up, year after year, in the ways that matter. And for over a century, that’s exactly what we’ve done.
The Power of Local: Reviews, Relationships, and Reputation
What truly defines us is the people who walk through our doors and drive away with a smile. Their words often speak louder than any advertisement.
“Just left Burns Chevrolet a couple of hours ago with my second new vehicle from them and cannot say enough about the quality and friendly professionalism at this dealership. I have many years experience as a car buyer and auto service customer and Burns is by far the BEST IN THE BUSINESS! Their ENTIRE STAFF is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this business as everyone under their roof exceeds expectations and all are genuinely nice people who truly care about their customers.” – Deborah H
“Thomas was our salesman and he was fantastic. We custom built our vehicle with Thomas’ help and expected to wait 3 months to receive it, fortunately it came in much quicker. During our wait Thomas checked in with us periodically with updates on expected delivery. During one of those calls my husband told Thomas he was hoping it would arrive in time for my birthday. It made it 2 days after my birthday but when we went to get it Thomas had it decorated with birthday balloons, bows and flowers and a card signed by everyone. Everyone was so friendly and helpful would highly recommend Burns Chevrolet and Thomas.” – Cindy H
“Great customer service! Loved the experience! First, Kristen was awesome working with us while we were dealing with insurance on a total loss claim. She was patient and went the extra mile in every way. When we arrived to pick up our car, everyone was super friendly, but not pushy. Jeff assisted us with the final details of the purchase and he was a wonderful, down to earth salesman. Scott in finance explained everything to us and was very friendly. Everyone there was friendly and polite. The biggest selling point, other than great customer service, was there were no junk dealer fees/add-ons that weren’t asked for. If anything like a tint is added, they only charge the customer what they have in it; they don’t overcharge the customer. The doc fees are also very reasonable compared to other dealerships. This was the best car buying experience we’ve ever had!” – Kristi M
