I’m on a mission to put the fun back into buying a car and bring respect and responsibility back to the car business. I’m fighting for you. At Grote Automotive we believe everybody deserves to drive a nicer, newer car. And we’re dedicated to solving problems first and making money second.
I’m a firm believer that if you treat people with courtesy and educate them with the most complete information available, they’ll be empowered, they’ll be more informed and they’ll become your customers for life.
Bottom line, you deserve to be treated with respect and honesty when buying a car. And that’s what I’m promising. I’m not in business to sell cars to make a quick buck. I’m in business to sell cars to find great people who will stay with me for life.
I want to build a relationship with you… a relationship that adds value to your life… one built on trust and mutual respect… a relationship that will end your search for an honest car dealer and finally give you a dealership you feel comfortable doing business with for life.
My name is Fred Grote… and I’m A Dealer FOR The People.

Good experience. Salesmen are going to be salesmen. It's their job. But the guy's at Grote were not overly pushy. They worked with me and my situation.

Mistake. They didn't give me an option they left me sitting in the office and said "this what you can buy" I've had it fixed 4 times in the three months that I've owned it. Carfax and auto check are reporting frame damage which wasn't disclosed to me. They over priced it The salesman was friendly More

Don't Buy a vehicle from Grote I purchased a vehicle and the heat did not work and the ac did not work.The brakes and the one tire had a slow leak,electric seat driving went out thi I purchased a vehicle and the heat did not work and the ac did not work.The brakes and the one tire had a slow leak,electric seat driving went out this was all pointed out on tested drive. Salesperson was Bill and manger I spoke with at time of purchased was Jim.I purchased a warranty and Gap insurance with the vehicle they insured me that the problems would be coverage under my warranty plus they said that they were going to fix it which after you sign the contact it a done deal. I called in there after I purchased the salesperson was never available and the mangers were never available left message and message. In March I drove over there and they did fixed the electrical seat but nothing else heat and ac still not working but when they fixed the seat they took electrical button switch from other vehicle they had on lot like mine so they use parts when they do repairs. So don't fall for the salesman and the manger himself that they would fix the problem. No they did not fix the problem and the warranty they sold me only covers the transmission and the engine,drive axle nothing else. They sale vehicles without doing a inspection on the vehicle they sell.I'm stuck with a vehicle what I'm paying on what going to be over 20,000.00 the heat and ac does not work. So don't fall in their sale lies and say everything cover we will fix everything just make a appointment bring it back. When you sign the contract and drive off. The salesperson and manger is a different person they got you you sign the contract you stuck with the vehicle and all the repairs on pre-existing problems because they do not do inspection and make you believe they will fix any repairs you point out to them.

Overall a good experience We were very pleased with our salesman, Adrian Gutierrez. He was very helpful and understanding of our expectations. The only disappointment was the We were very pleased with our salesman, Adrian Gutierrez. He was very helpful and understanding of our expectations. The only disappointment was the receptionist. She lacked any enthusiasm and bordered on rude. The greeting was cold and she spent time on a lengthy and loud cell phone conversation. My husband and I almost turned around and left before we got started. Luckily, the salesman made up for it. I would recommend this dealership/salesman, and have, to my friends. The receptionist needs to give serious consideration to the thought if this is the right kind of work for her. Next automobile purchase, we will consider going back to Grote. More

The first time I wasn't sure what I was even looking for but when my other plans for a car fell through, I went back to Grote. Carnelle was friendly, professional, and honest. He was never pushy and he did a great job getting me the best deal. I would (and already have) recommend to anyone getting a car to see Carnelle at Grote. More
