DAMAGES UNRESOLVED: Had service done to my car, they didnt wash it which I thought was fishy considering it was full of salt and they always wash it. when I went to pick it up it was parked crooked in a didnt wash it which I thought was fishy considering it was full of salt and they always wash it. when I went to pick it up it was parked crooked in a tight spot. Left there to get scuffed bye all the traffic opening there car doors. Didnt think anything of it, until I took it to a car wash. Once washed i realized that someone had hit my car. I told kelly hines and he represented himself as he was gonna "take care of me" and get this estimate from his guy and well make sure well do you right... yea, until I finally get a hold of him and he tells me they wont assume any responsibility because he thinks it's the same as being parked at target.. either your mechanics or someone in your parking lot where my car was left, damaged my car. MY VEHICLE was in YOUR CARE AND CONTROL. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Not the same as target. Because wouldn't have parked it like an idiot. They always park it out back where customers dont park. Why is this different, and why is it left with salt? To hide the damages? I guess that's what you get when you buy a $52,000 car from them and take pride in it. You get led on to believe they'll take care of you and screw you over. Me and my family and friends will keep leaving negative reviews weekly, and will NEVER return to this place. The 2600 dollar fix costed you guys a lifetime of business through a very large family in forest lake. Congratulations! More

I was skeptical... A Summary of Car Sales Around Town. I've was searching for a new Chevy Blazer and I was looking for the best deal and I FINALLY found it at Forest Lake Chevrolet. At age 55, I suspec I've was searching for a new Chevy Blazer and I was looking for the best deal and I FINALLY found it at Forest Lake Chevrolet. At age 55, I suspect I've bought at least 30 new cars between my wife and I. I'm "fiscally conservative" (some call me cheap). ;) About now, I could teach a course on it. As in, I know more about their business model than most sales people. Additionally, I normally know more about the specific car than they do. Worse yet, all too often, the aggressive advertised price you see doesn't apply to you. Like Jeff Belzer who has an aggressive price (currently) adds in a $1K hidden "trade" on their price. But I don't have a trade! That means I pay more. Or while we are talking about Belzer, they wouldn't deduct my GM lease loyalty?? xxx? Their mantra is "everyone pays the same". Well, everyone doesn't have a current GM lease. ;) I have a few other local dealer stories but nuff on that. I digress.... We all should count our blessings as the dealers in MN are more ethical than say Pheonix. I winter in AZ. On Monday, I was in AZ enjoying the winter and I finally gave up on their AZ dealer games. Like side pricing that adds $1600 for "fabric protection, paint protection, and window tinting." 95% off all the Phoenix dealers do it. Even then, EVERY dealer in AZ was at least $1700 higher priced than Forest Lake who is clearly the price leader here in MN. So when I was on Cargurus.com trying to figure a spot to buy a car, Forest Lake kept on coming up as a price leader. I bite assuming I would hear why the price wasn't real. So I called and I was told it was. Sorry, I was still skeptical. I worked with Jeff Liljander who texted me the paperwork showing the price was the price. We connected and proving he was legit so I hopped on a plane (thank you SWA miles) and drove up to the dealership. I arrived in the morning, grabbed the new Black Redline Edition Blazer (I know; midlife crisis) and I was on my way. Fast, easy, and simple. And a free donut to boot! lol All too often, I drive up to dealers with smoker salespeople in front looking for fresh meat (they walk the lot not giving you any space). Not here. Normally, I hear "sales-speak" from the sales manager with a level of "slickness". Again, not here. The General Sales Manager (I forget her name) was a no-nonsense nice person. Frankly, she didn't fit the "sales manager" persona which is a good thing. i.e., no pressure, no big voice inflections, etc. Big picture, I was delighted. Normally I find myself taking the time to write negative reviews. In this case, it inspired to write something nice. Summary: It's a great place to buy a car. In two short years, they will be my 1st call. I hope they keep their culture. More

The whole staff here was great, Clem was even better though. I’ve always hated buying cars and the whole process. With Clem it was so easy and smooth and seemed like he wanted to help me get into my dr though. I’ve always hated buying cars and the whole process. With Clem it was so easy and smooth and seemed like he wanted to help me get into my dream truck efficiently and for the best price. He answered any questions I had and told me everything I needed to know to make a solid decision. After dealing with Clem I went to their financial team to set up financing and he was great as well. All in all it took me 2 hours from walking through the door to driving off the lot with my dream truck. Would highly recommend forest lake Chevrolet and would definitely recommend asking for Clem. Next purchase will 100% being going back to forest lake Chevrolet. More
