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. At Grote Automotive we believe everybody deserves to drive a nicer, newer car. And we’re dedicated to solving problems first and making money 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 search for an honest car dealer and finally give you a dealership you feel comfortable doing business with for life.
My name is Fred Grote… and I’m A Dealer FOR The People. Dedicated to serving Fort Wayne and the surrounding areas of Columbia City, Auburn, Warsaw, Wabash and more!

The sale staff seems to be nice because he wants to sale the car. After I picked up the car, I never heard a wkrd from them. I sent email, left phone message. However, I have not heard back from anyone fr the car. After I picked up the car, I never heard a wkrd from them. I sent email, left phone message. However, I have not heard back from anyone from Grote. I don't like the attitude of the sale manager (don't rememeber his name) that came to assist in price negotiayion. He is very pushy. I don't appleciate his conversation. I found several issues after having my friend at the body shop look at tbe car. He showed me a few defect spots on the car, and suggest me to check with Grote. I sent an email and left message to Jason. I have not heard from him. Jason supposes to provide me with the person who can make 2nd car key and pait repair. It appears that this car dealership does not care the custommer at all. I should walk out during the nehotiation. I was treatred better at other dealerssuch as Carmax and Don Ayres Honda. More
