They knew of warranty work that needed to be done and should have informed me updates weren't available at this time. Was waste of my time and there's communication needs to be better. Everyone was nice More

I am so sorry to hear you were not happy with your experience here. I did follow up on the recalls you had outstanding. One of the three recalls required us to have your vehicle here in the shop before we could tell if futher action needed to be taken. I don't know if that was fully communicated to you when you were here. If not, I am really sorry about that! Thank you for servicing here and if you have further questions feel free to reach out to me directly.- Chelsea 920-261-1800

I only had dealings with Kyle Strauss, John and Chelsea Grinwald. All three were excellent to deal with. I highly recommend Grinwald based upon my experience with them. More

Mr. Schmidt knows what he’s talking about when you talk to him about cars. He’s always got an answer to my questions and if he can’t pull the knowledge off the top of his head. He’s always willing to look More

Good Afternoon! Thank you for your feedback regarding the Quick Lane! We are very happy that Ralph was able to gather a quote while you were still here waiting as safety should be the number one priority that is communicated to our customers. Hope to see you again, and thank you for your business! 😀
