Fugate Motors

We do business differently than most car dealerships. And here's how we're different than most dealerships.

1. We're located in a town of 3,800 people, we know most of our customers shop at the same grocery store, go to the same churches and belong to the same community groups - that's why we treat every customer like friends and family. We support local civic groups, church, and school activities. You can purchase your vehicle from people you know and trust.

2. In a small community we thrive on repeat and referral business, which means we can't afford to treat you like most city dealers will.  In places like Kansas City, Joplin, and Springfield there are a over 3 million people in the market, yet there are only 42,000 in the Cedar, Vernon, and St. Clair area. And we like it that way, a smaller population means we thrive on building a relationship with our customers, because we want them to come back for service, come back to buy more vehicles, and tell their friends and family about us. And in our opinion that's the only way to do business.

3. We hate paying extra fees as much as you do. That's why we've never charged annoying and "made-up" fees like documentation fees, restocking fees, and admin fees.

4. When you shop at Fugate Motors, you have 5 brands of NEW vehicles to choose from. We offer new Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram products all under one roof.

5. If we don't have it in stock, we'll do our best to find it for you - don't see the car or truck you want on our website or out on our lot? We have the ability to find your vehicle, new or used, nation-wide through our national locator system. Give us a call and we will work hard to track down the vehicle.

6. The price you see on our website is the price you'll actually pay - no games, no tricks, and no surprises when you go to sign the final papers.

7. We despise the dirty tricks many people in our industry use every day just to make an extra buck. If you've bought many vehicles, in the past, chances are good that you've been a victim of common tactics like the "bait and switch," "payment packing" or agreeing to a price only to pay hundreds in added fees when you sign the papers. We disclose everything.

8. Every used vehicle on our lot goes through a multi-point inspection and is reconditioned before making it to the lot. And if you buy a vehicle today and we know it still needs some work done before it's ready to go, we'll take care of it before we let you drive it off the lot. If there's something we know and can't fix, you'll know 100% up front. NOBODY backs used vehicles like we do!

9. We're located in rural Missouri, and while we're a small town we offer all the perks and amenities of a big city dealership. You get the same quality warranties, the same manufacturer rebates, and the same vehicles as the biggest dealers in the country.

These are just a few of the reasons customers have been trusting us with their vehicles since 1963.  Next time you're looking for a new or used vehicle give us a shot to make it the easiest car-buying experience you've ever had.
