I have been a part of the Auto Repair business for over 43 years...owning my own shop for 38 of those years. I enjoy what I do so much that an early retirement just wasn't for me. I love working with people so assisting them in getting back on the road safe gives me a great sense of achievement! In my free time I enjoy riding my Harley and spending time with my wife and 2 daughters.

Dave Delkamp was our sales man, he was a 10 out of a 10. Never once did he try pushing us into a purchase, I trusted him within minutes of talking with him. He was honest and answered every questoin we had. Never once did he try pushing us into a purchase, I trusted him within minutes of talking with him. He was honest and answered every questoin we had. He also came in on his day off and stayed well past closing hours to go over the entire vehicle to be sure we had no questions. Dave was very knowlwdgable and never left a single question uunanswered. Dave and his team also made this process easy and fast. We also spoke with Andy Grinwald, he listened and was a welth of information on our decision on the our purchase of a 2023 Ford Explore ST. Andy gave us a very fair deal on our trade in. Chelsea Grineald (Wendt) also stopped by us to introduce herself and and said if we had any unanswered questions she would be happy to answer them. Mr John Grinwald stopped by us to introduced himself and was exceptionally frinedly. Cant forget about John Foltz to finalize the numbers and get us an exceptional 1.9% interest rate that nowadays is unheard of. Jon was funny and very timely in finalizing everything for us. Ralaph in Quick Lane who during a reccient visit for a oil change shared with us the end of year deal. If you know Ralaph you know he is honest, trustworthy and friendly. Overall we were very impressed with the honest, trustworthy and friendly atmospher at Grinwald Ford. Thanky you to the team at Grinwald Ford for an outstanding 10 out of 10 experence.

I strongly recommend the Grinwald Ford service department! Our Ford had been making a knocking noise as we drove it from Colorado to Wisconsin. We needed an oil change on the way, and asked department! Our Ford had been making a knocking noise as we drove it from Colorado to Wisconsin. We needed an oil change on the way, and asked that oil change franchise to look for the problem. They found nothing. When we got to Watertown we called Ralph Schmidt at Grinwald Ford. He fit us into his schedule immediately, found the axle shaft problem, picked up the necessary parts, and replaced it WITHIN 4 HOURS! We were amazed at the low cost of the repair. Thank you, Grinwald Ford and Ralph Schmidt More

I don’t know where 2begin but how disappointing! Starters: engine light goes on day after. Tried telling me nothing was wrong so I took it to kayser who said there was a recall and update needed.

They are a small market dealership. That is what keeps bringing me back. They really do treat you like family. Whenever I walk in they ALL say hi. I have never dealt with a better sales/service team ever bringing me back. They really do treat you like family. Whenever I walk in they ALL say hi.
