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.

Poor service, failure to listen overall bad experience. Crap-tacular experience... I'm already pre approved thru my bank for an auto. I was looking around for a btw one and found one that seemed to fit wha Crap-tacular experience... I'm already pre approved thru my bank for an auto. I was looking around for a btw one and found one that seemed to fit what I was looking for on their site. I called the number, gave them all my info and was directed to go to the location and tell them that Austin set me up with a VIP appt with his manager (whatever that is) and they would have the vehicle ready there for a text drive. I got to the location and no info was sent (because there's "no way for us to see any of the notes from your phone conversation"), there's no such thing as a VIP appt, it's essentially whatever half frozen used car sales person that's up next in the rotation. After the friendly greeting and education on the scam-centric VIP appt, I was ushered into a broom closet sized "office" and told that unfortunately that vehicle belongs to the owner's daughter; that although it is in fact on site, but I wouldn't be able to look at it... I was then informed that they'd be happy to look they their database and try to find something that would work. Needless to say, after taking time out of my day to go look at a vehicle that was supposed to be ready for me to test drive, I didn't care to have any more of my time wasted with poorly executed bait-and-switch tactics. For anyone looking for a new vehicle from a company that understands integrity, go to Kelley Automotive. Don't waste your time or money with this scam-fest. Update: After leaving the dealership, I got a voicemail stating that evidently there is a way to look up the info from my previous phone conversation, and in doing so, even though I had to correct him six different times that it was a Jeep Cherokee, not "Grand" Cherokee, he was still under the impression that I was talking about a Grand Cherokee that wasn't currently (??) for sale... However, they did have the vehicle that I had requested and that they would like me to stop back in and see what they could do to earn my business back... So, admitting that you lied to me about not being able to access the records for an appointment is somehow supposed to make things better? No thanks. More

Dale, I believe was his name... The "internet people" like Austin and his supervisor were both awesome... But not enough to make up for the rest of the experience.
