Tex Earnhardt, founder and CEO of Earnhardt Auto Centers was born on December 9th, 1930. As a child, Tex moves with his family to Texas for a more agricultural life.
From that point on, Tex was raised on a ranch in the Rio Grande Valley of Southern Texas, establishing his affinity for ranching, agriculture and cowboy culture.
It was in 1951 when he was twenty years old, that he and his family moved to Chandler, AZ; where his father, Hal Earnhardt, Sr. started a small gas station downtown.
The service station provided a small income for his family by selling gas and auto parts. Tex wanted to expand his business to sell automobiles, but the factories in Detroit refused to ship the vehicles to him without expensive transportation costs. Tex went to work and immediately found a solution. He and a friend decided to drive to Detroit, buy a car from the factory, drive both vehicles back to Chandler, and sell the new car. As soon as he sold his first car, he drove right back to Detroit and purchased the second. He repeated the whole process for months.

I took a chance by not calling ahead and drove down to the Earnhardt Chandler Cadillac dealership. Lucky for me the car was still there and it looked just as good in person. I met my salespeson, Bill Jurczak, while looking at the car and he told me a few cool things about it that even I didn't know about. Bill is super friendly, relaxed and made my visit very comfortable. I got a great deal on the car and couldn't be happier with it. Major kudos to Bill, the sales manager Mike Richmond, even the finance guy was great! It was without a doubt my best car buying experience! More

Earnhardt Cadillac Chandler sol I recently saw a review about a “lemon” and how dissatisfied someone was. I can tell you that is NOT my experience. Earnhardt Cadillac Chandler sold me my SRX in 2015 and I have had impeccable service and quality from them for the last three years. John in service has done a superb job for me and the Cadillac brand has also lived up to their reputation. Great job. More

Do not buy from Earnhardt Cadillac!! Most of the original situation happened about 9 months ago when Cadillac finally decided to get me out of a nightmare of a Cadillac lemon car and put Most of the original situation happened about 9 months ago when Cadillac finally decided to get me out of a nightmare of a Cadillac lemon car and put me in a new one. I begged Cadillac to let me do my trade at Coulter Cadillac as in my opinion they are the Best Phoenix Dealer Ever !! But they forced me to go with Earnhardt Chandler as my lemon car was from Earnhardt. When I got to the dealer I was told to pick a car and General Motors will take care of swapping my car for the new one. I expressed my feelings to the General Manager Justin about maybe getting an ATS V coupe. That's when he disrespectfully told me that I couldn't afford that vehicle and that I needed to get the same one. I'm a hard working young latino guy. To be honest I felt hurt and discriminated against. This person that I was putting my trust in totally made me feel like I wasn't worthy of anything in minutes. To make the story short I ended up getting the same car just a few years newer. The car was set aside while GM processed the swap. When I returned and took delivery of my car it was damaged. It didn't appear in the same condition I had last seen it and had more than 10 scratches all over the body. The dealer acted like it was ok to deliver a vehicle in that condition. One of the scratches was so bad that less than a week later the car had to be painted. The window tint that I paid $495 was peeling off the window and the other window had bubbles on it and it had to be replaced. The General Manager Justin acted with no empathy and was very rude. Saying 'we took care of it, didn't we?' I ask to talk to the District manager and I received a call from a guy name 'Gray.' I asked for his real name and he would not give it to me. I told him about the situation and he was less than helpful at one point even saying that maybe I was too "particular". It was like a slap in the face with absolutely no respect and no empathy for my situation. I want to take this avenue to answer the District Manager Mr. 'Gray' on his insult of calling me too "particular". Sorry that you think that me wanting my brand new 2017 Cadillac CTS to be in great condition is being "particular" or maybe it is that you don't really care about your brand. Last time I checked the Cadillac slogan was "Dare Greatly” so I expect nothing else. They put me through the process of my new car being painted a total of 3 times. During that time they managed to overspray my expensive Giovanna Wheels. Then they sent a guy to my house that was able to get most of the paint off the wheels. But ultimately I had to spend $1, 500 on a new set of wheels. This car still has overspray paint on the side skirts and this is all damage done by the carelessness of this dealer. The side panels that were painted 3 times still don't match the rest of the car. If anything this dealer should become more 'particular' in their standards. More

Preventative Maintenance is Thorough A well deserved 5 star rating! I had preventative maintenance performed on our 2013 Cadillac SRX: oil change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, A well deserved 5 star rating! I had preventative maintenance performed on our 2013 Cadillac SRX: oil change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, battery check, alignment check....I also requested that they change the cabin air filter. We’re from Iowa so I usually have the cabin air filter changed every 40,000 miles, but in Arizona because of climate dust I have it changed every 20,000 miles. Earnhardt Cadillac came to me with pictures of the existing filter and the air intake vent to the AC/Heater blower. A rodent (most likely a roof rat) had been nesting in the area, chewing up the filter and pushing the filter remnants into the blower intake vent. I authorized Earnhardt to disassemble the blower and clean out the intake vent. They also performed an additional check for any damages to electrical harness. Wow, we were fortunate, because no additional damage was discovered! Their charge for correcting the damage and inspection for possible other rodent damage was only for 1 hour of labor, which I know is very customer friendly. Another item that I routinely do when I take vehicles to dealerships, and I believe a test drive should be part of the labor, is to reset the trip odometer. I found that our SRX was actually test driven, because the trip odometer verified it. Earnhardt’s customer service lounge is very relaxing for customers, which is also a nice plus. But for me when I take our vehicle in for preventative maintenance it is all about trust and value while waiting for our vehicle to be serviced. Earnhardt Chandler Cadillac proved to me that they perform preventative maintenance. If you live in AZ and your car has a cabin air filter, get it changed! A new filter will extend the life of your AC/Heater blower, and if there are critters where you park your vehicle, you might be as lucky as me by having Earnhardt Cadillac change your filter. PS. If a critter dies in their nesting place in your vehicles blower intake; air freshiners in your car will not eliminate the critter’s decaying odor. A shout out Thank You to Earnhardt Chandler Cadillac! More

I knew, from experience, that the dealership would need to see the car while the warning was present. They immediately took my car back into the shop, diagnosed it as a software issue. They performed the update while I enjoyed a cup of coffee and a donut. They offered to wash the car, if I had another 20 minutes. I declined since I had some other errands to run. Curtis, Anthony and Nick always treat me like family. Ken E. More

Awesome Experience buying a 2017 CT6 We started looking for a new Cadillac a few months ago. Our lease was coming due and Earnhardt Chandler Cadillac was the only dealer in the Valley to We started looking for a new Cadillac a few months ago. Our lease was coming due and Earnhardt Chandler Cadillac was the only dealer in the Valley to have any specials listed on their website. The other stores just didn't seem to be trying very hard. I initially contacted the dealership in July and due to unforeseen circumstances had to put things off for a bit. When I checked back in with the salesperson, Luke Salscheider, he was very courteous and helpful. Due to my travel schedule , it took a about a week of back and forth with emails and phone calls, but throughout the whole process Luke was extremely patient. The day before we had delivery scheduled, I asked Luke to have everything ready to minimize our time at the dealership. Everything worked out exactly like I asked. We were in and out in a little over an hour. I fully expected it to take closer to two. If you're looking to buy or lease a new Cadillac I highly recommend Earnhardt Chandler Cadillac and Luke Salscheider. More

Service Department Bilks Customers. Beware! Dishonest service. Looks new and great from outside. Took my 2 CADS there regularly for service. Each time tells me they found additional proble Dishonest service. Looks new and great from outside. Took my 2 CADS there regularly for service. Each time tells me they found additional problems and if I want to fix them. I would agree. Last time, I was told by Curtis Mitchell, My Service "Advisor" that my car battery died at the shop. I said it shouldn't have as they were new from AAA, so under warranty. Miraculously, battery worked again. No problem since. Now I question all other recommended fixes I paid. My experience there and at Coulter Cadillac Shop have made me realize the Cadillac service is dishonest, so I have traded-in my 2 CADS and will not be buying anything CADS ever again. Short sighted dealerships. I feel bad for GM. More
