ABOUT CARLOCK UNIVERSITY

At Carlock University, our mission is to educate, empower, and invest in our associates and management, fostering a culture of continuous development and excellence. We believe that by developing our people, we are investing in the future of our business and the satisfaction of our customers. Carlock University is dedicated to providing comprehensive training programs, innovative learning opportunities, and a supportive environment that encourages personal and professional growth. 

The Carlock family automotive business has a rich history dating back to 1967, when we were awarded our first franchise in Blytheville, Arkansas. Grover “Clay” Carlock, Jr. grew up immersed in the family business, working his way through various roles within the dealership during his formative years and throughout college. After graduating, Clay was awarded the Nissan sales and service point in Blytheville, marking the beginning of his leadership journey. Under Clay’s visionary guidance, the Carlock Automotive Group has expanded to encompass 15 brands and eight state-of-the-art facilities across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama.

Carlock University aims to uphold the Carlock legacy by focusing on the growth and development of our team members. We strive to create a dynamic learning environment where associates and management can acquire new skills, advance their careers, and contribute to the ongoing success of the Carlock Automotive Group. Through targeted training programs, leadership development courses, and continuous education initiatives, Carlock University is committed to cultivating a workforce that exemplifies excellence, innovation, and integrity.
