Hi, I'm Walter. I started working here between professions many years ago and never left! I really enjoy meeting and helping people and I get to do a lot of that at our dealership. Before working at Schumacher Chevrolet (We were previously known as Gearhart Chevrolet), I attended school at Wagner College in Staten Island, NY, where I graduated in 1976, and later earned a degree from Drew University in 1979. Since then, I've lived in Sussex County most of my adult life. I now live in Stockholm NJ and am married to my wife Linda. Between us we have three adult sons, 2 daughters-in-law, 4 grandchildren, and Buster our border collie. We enjoy outdoor stuff of all kinds, especially our kayaks and photography. I love nature, science, music, am an amateur astronomer, and grew up a country boy in Glen Spey, NY. I am thankful for my years here at our dealership and so many great friendships with my customers. I hope I get to meet you too - someday soon.

I had been buying and servicing my vehicles for nearly two decades in Schumacher Chevrolet of Denville, but not anymore. Even though I must pay $100 deductible each time for using the extended warranty in two decades in Schumacher Chevrolet of Denville, but not anymore. Even though I must pay $100 deductible each time for using the extended warranty in the other dealership versus $0 in their shop, which I purchased there at the time I got my new vehicle. That should be very telling. I had given many lip services rather than real ones. I always gave a benefit of doubt because we all humans and make mistakes but if the same mistakes happen again with requesting to check on those things and being told to your face by their mechanic, “I don’t care”. Not to mention, when I brought it up to their service manager and was told that GM makes JUNKS. He bullied me for not giving a bad review/rating to their shop rather than addressing why my question about the issue I was experiencing. More

He has a wonderful demea I have known Walter for over 30 years. When it's time for a new or used vehicle, Walter is always my first and only choice. He has a wonderful demeanor and never pressures or oversells you. Our recent purchase of a 2018 Trax AWD LT for our son was worth the trip. Walter gives you his personal attention to detail and makes sure you leave completely satisfied. He follows up with an email or phone call after the purchase was made to be sure you are happy and offers to help should there be any questions or concerns.

Great Buying Experience It was a pleasure working with Walter. He sold me my first car 22 years ago.

When I was shopping for a new lease recently, my dad suggested I go see Walter at Schumacher. He listened to what features I was looking for, and helped locate the car and at a competitive rate. He made car shopping stress free and a pleasant experience. You can tell that he really cares about his customers. I love my Equinox! Everyone I have met at Schumacher genuinely goes out of their way for their customers. I had a flat tire a few months after leasing my car, and the service department quickly got me a replacement and back on the road. I am happy that I chose Schumacher of Denville! More
