Think twice before bringing your vehicle here for service. I brought my vehicle in to get the rear brakes fixed. After paying nearly $500 I got the car back. My wife drove it for the next two months service. I brought my vehicle in to get the rear brakes fixed. After paying nearly $500 I got the car back. My wife drove it for the next two months and then commented that the brakes were making noise. When I checked out the vehicle I realized that they had not properly lubricated the brakes, they had not bled the brake lines so the pedal could be pushed almost to the floor before engaging, and the calipers were so dirty that the pads were only engaging on a very small spot. The car was downright dangerous to drive. They told me I was lucky they were going to make it right because most places would have charged me. They also told me that I was lucky that I nothing serious happened. No apologies were offered and the manager was demeaning and kept trying to put the blame on me. He said that he stood behind the work of his shop. They put my wife's life in danger because they didn't do a complete job. They told me it was my fault that I didn't get the car in sooner when I noticed a problem. (My wife is car illiterate in the first place and she only drove it about once a week; I didn't know about the problem until 2 months after we got the car back). They were in the wrong for returning my car to me in a dangerous condition. Beyond this, they used crappy after market rotors which don't look anything like the front, are completely rusted and look nothing like the factory versions. When I picked up my car it was sitting unlocked in their lot and had been that way for a few days while I was out of town. I'm very disappointed and recommend seeking help elsewhere. More

Carey was super to work with and very friendly and helpful. However I do feel I was a bit shorted when it came numbers $ time. I had one gentleman, I think his name was Mike, test drive my trade in. helpful. However I do feel I was a bit shorted when it came numbers $ time. I had one gentleman, I think his name was Mike, test drive my trade in. I told him right away that my vehicle has a partial salvage title and I was aware the value might be a bit down, but not as far down as he thought. He drove it only about two blocks and the whole way telling me how little it is worth because of the title. This was a spotless 2004 Malibu with only 67,000 miles. I was not very happy with this at all. When we got back to the office he told me he could only give me $2000.00!! towards trade in, and that noone would want to buy this car because of the salvage title. This was a spotless 2004 Malibu with 67,000 miles!! I should have and almost did walk away right there. I can assure you that your dealership probably sold this, or would sell a similar car for about $4500.00 or more. I asked if the price of the Altima I was interested in would come down a bit and was told it was as low as you could go, naturally. I was trying to upgrade vehicles and keep payment under $200.00. I finally got my trade in to a whopping $2300. and because of my friendhip with Carey, and I did like the Altima, I decided to go with the deal. I wish now I had not done so. I will be running a Carfax on my Altima as I did see a few things out of the ordinary and we will see what happens. Hopefully nothing. More

Nick Dunbar and Dustin Elkins went above and beyond in locating our perfect vehicle. They found exactly what we wanted and stayed below our price point. They were prompt in returning all communications locating our perfect vehicle. They found exactly what we wanted and stayed below our price point. They were prompt in returning all communications and answered any questions we had. They also made sure that everything was in place when we came to pick up the vehicle so that our 3 small children didn't have to be there very long while we were signing papers. We recommend Nick Dunbar at Mankato Motors to everyone looking for a different vehicle. He will go out of his way to find the right vehicle for you. More

I had a great experience when purchasing our new car, everything was explained in detail. It took only an hour to talk, do a test drive, get a price for our used vechile and start the paper work on a Thu everything was explained in detail. It took only an hour to talk, do a test drive, get a price for our used vechile and start the paper work on a Thursday that we then finished on a Saturday, we had our grandaughter with and she was accepted and treated like royality while we finished the paper work so we could take possesion of the vechile When Travis was showing my wife all the perks in the car our grandaughter was allow to ask questions also so friendly. We have had our vechile a month and I see Travis once a week for my free car wash so it still looks great. When in the market again will be looking Travis up again. More
