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. I'm challenging my fellow dealers to clean up their acts and put truth and honesty first and profits 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 serach for an honest car dealer and finally give you a delearship you feel comfortable doing business with for life.

I've left a message I'm not bashing Grote by any means. I work from 7 to 330 but would like to talk to someone about the vehicle we've purchased. About what can be done to resolve the issues we're having. The car has to be driven around and put on a highway. Today the transmission kick hard on us and still having bad vibration on highway with steering wheel vibrating.

Sold me a car that lasted a month and went to crap. Misleading warranties, and they refuse to fix anything. Already filed complaint with BBB. More
