Hi, I'm Walter. I started working here between professions many years ago and never left! I really enjoy meeting and helping people and I get to do a lot of that at our dealership. Before working at Schumacher Chevrolet (We were previously known as Gearhart Chevrolet), I attended school at Wagner College in Staten Island, NY, where I graduated in 1976, and later earned a degree from Drew University in 1979. Since then, I've lived in Sussex County most of my adult life. I now live in Stockholm NJ and am married to my wife Linda. Between us we have three adult sons, 2 daughters-in-law, 4 grandchildren, and Buster our border collie. We enjoy outdoor stuff of all kinds, especially our kayaks and photography. I love nature, science, music, am an amateur astronomer, and grew up a country boy in Glen Spey, NY. I am thankful for my years here at our dealership and so many great friendships with my customers. I hope I get to meet you too - someday soon.

Mission Accomplished I have known Walter for over 30 years. When it's time for a new or used vehicle, Walter is always my first and only choice. He has a wonderful demea I have known Walter for over 30 years. When it's time for a new or used vehicle, Walter is always my first and only choice. He has a wonderful demeanor and never pressures or oversells you. Our recent purchase of a 2018 Trax AWD LT for our son was worth the trip. Walter gives you his personal attention to detail and makes sure you leave completely satisfied. He follows up with an email or phone call after the purchase was made to be sure you are happy and offers to help should there be any questions or concerns. He is an honest sales professional that will work to get the best deal that meets your budget. More

Great Buying Experience It was a pleasure working with Walter. He sold me my first car 22 years ago.

When I was shopping for a new lease recently, my dad suggested I go see Walter at Schumacher. He listened to what features I was looking for, and helped locate the car and at a competitive rate. He made car shopping stress free and a pleasant experience. You can tell that he really cares about his customers. I love my Equinox! Everyone I have met at Schumacher genuinely goes out of their way for their customers. I had a flat tire a few months after leasing my car, and the service department quickly got me a replacement and back on the road. I am happy that I chose Schumacher of Denville! More

The ratings given to the Gearhart Dealership do not even begin to express the AMAZING serviced we received. Andrew Garcia - was key, with the communication and availability for all questions via e begin to express the AMAZING serviced we received. Andrew Garcia - was key, with the communication and availability for all questions via email and text, his understanding an appreciation for the parameters which we needed guided us and gave us the confidence to come to the showroom . Walter Schwarz - Pleasant, no pressures and very personable. He didnt waste our time, understood our desires and time restrictions. He couldnt have done a better job meeting every one of our needs, a true asset. Timothy Murray - All to offend the "finance guy" gets the bad rap. this man was fantastic, made us feel very comforable, worked within the dollar restrictions we presented and most of all NO SUPRISES. EXACTLY as presented to us from the very begining. No hidden cost, tack ons or undiscussed fees. Thank you Tim you are a true professional and a very important part of an amazing team. Thank you Gearhart, you TEAM is a reflection of the excellences that puts your dealership above all! More

In 2009 my wife and I had a Chevy Uplander that was comming off a lease and we went to Gearhart and found Walter there . It was nice to meet a really nice person that Walt is and he took care of our le comming off a lease and we went to Gearhart and found Walter there . It was nice to meet a really nice person that Walt is and he took care of our lease and helped us to purchase a Traverse. We ,my wife and I, fell in love with the Traverse and found it to be a smooth riding and just a great car. In 2011 I lost my wife and I now had a Traverse and a 2006 Dodge Dakota. Finally I decided to go to one vehicle. I called Walt up and he took my two vehicles in and showed me a very well equipped Silverado in a color I liked . It really did not take long to talk me into the truck so now I have a new truck and if someone needs a great salesman,call Gearhart and ask for Walt More
