Whitaker Buick GMC is a family owned and operated dealership dedicated to making your vehicle shopping and ownership experience enjoyable! Our philosophy is to treat you as we would a guest in our home, and we always want you to feel comfortable when visiting our dealership. Whether searching for a New or Pre-Owned vehicle, or looking for Service or Parts information on your current car or truck, we offer a professional, straightforward and hassle-free experience. We are proud to be the ONLY dealership in the State of Minnesota to have won the Better Business Bureau's 'Integrity Award', which recognizes select few businesses with the highest standards of ethics and conduct. The BBB has also given Whitaker auto it's highest grading possible, an A+. The Whitaker Buick Company started business in 1954 on University Avenue in St. Paul. At just 30 years old, founder Bill Whitaker was among the youngest GM dealers in the country. His attention to personal service and emphasis on integrity led to sales and service leadership for the Buick brand in the Greater St. Paul/Minneapolis area and beyond. With the departure of dealerships from the crowded confines of inner city locations, current President Steve Whitaker moved its operation to FOREST LAKE in 2006. Located just 4 miles north of the I-35E/35W junction, Whitaker is easy to find at the intersection of I-35 and County Rd 2 (Broadway Avenue).
