The other dealerships in town were no willing to help me to get a fair price on my trade and purchase price on the SUV. The local Ford Dealership GM was trying to rip me off buy increasing the sale price to the full price and then taking my trade to get me to lease it for the Sale price. Mankato Motors was honest and broke fee line-by-line! Looking forward to buy from them again! More

He is very personable and not push This is the second vehicle I have purchased at Mankato Motors. Joe Bidwell, our sales rep, was great to work with! He is very personable and not pushy at all. When they didn't have the color and features of the vehicle I wanted in stock, they looked for one and got it to their dealership. Joe was very knowledgeable about all of the vehicles and their features when we were comparing different brands. More

We were impressed with his professional My wife and I met Joe Bidwell (Sales Rep) on our first visit to the dealership. We discussed a 2014 Silverado. We were impressed with his professionalism. On our second visit we came to an agreement on the purchase of a 2014 Silverado. Joe explained all the features and found a couple of additional rebates that we qualified for. We bought our truck on a Saturday and picked it up the following Monday. Everything was just as we had discussed with additional options. After 23 years working with the same dealer we switched to Mankato motors. We attribute this to Joe. He is honest and will take the time to answer questions and is knowledgeable of the features on the vehicle. He will definitely get an opportunity when we trade our car. More

Great Friendly service My wife, Nicki and I recently purchased a used Vehicle from Mankato Motors. My wife had been on the hunt for a used Edge. We found her dream car at My wife, Nicki and I recently purchased a used Vehicle from Mankato Motors. My wife had been on the hunt for a used Edge. We found her dream car at Mankato Motors online. We live approx 90 minutes from Mankato so I sent them an email regarding our interest in the Edge. Our to-be sales associate Cary Rentschler replied very shortly via email and acknowledged our interest in the car. We couldn't get a chance to test drive til the following week and Cary kept us informed of the availability of the car over the weekend. He asked if we needed financing or trade in. Told Cary we would be trading in our Honda. As we arrived the following Monday, Cary spotted us right away. He and his staff did a great job of informing us about the vehicles past history and car fax. Buying a car can be a bit stressful but Cary and his staff take stress and pressure off the table. Not only are they good at what they do but provide what I like to call Neighborly service. Kind, welcoming, no pressure. From Cary in sales, to Ralph in Management, to Barry in financing, I will recommend Mankato Motors to everyone. Just ask for Cary Rentschler! More
