Brad Madison taught me everything I needed to know about the operation of the car, before I left the showroom. He quickly assessed my needs as a learner and was considerate of the time I had available. Then, Brad followed-up with a phone call to see how I was doing with the operation of the car and invited me to come in to answer any additional questions I might have. I made an appointment for what I call some "nice to know" features, because I feel comfortable with the "need to know" features. I am very appreciative with the excellent service I received from both Steve and Brad. They made me feel special! More
The sales team is very friendly and seemingly honest. The price is competitive - which is why I bought a vehicle here. Unfortunately, I bought a used Jeep with 44K miles on it. When I brought it home I The price is competitive - which is why I bought a vehicle here. Unfortunately, I bought a used Jeep with 44K miles on it. When I brought it home I had a hard time starting it the next day...and the next....and next. Finally I could only start it by jumping it in the morning with my 50 amp battery charger. This is my bad luck - except for the fact the sales manager was using this Jeep to drive to and from work - which tells me he knew about the issue. Living far away I found a local dealer that replaced the TIPM (totally integrated program module) that was a common problem in the 2011 Jeep and caused the issue of not starting that I had experienced. The dealer was Fury motors and they did the work under a courtesy warranty - as the Jeep was out of warranty (very nice - I will buy my next vehicle there). Once replaced, It not only fixed the starting problem but made my digital fictions work as well as several interior lights - which makes me believe the owner of Whitaker GMC that supposedly new Jeeps was fully aware of the issues and still sold and the vehicle. I buy a new / used vehicle about every two years. This is the first time I felt a problem was unloaded to me - I do not recommend this dealer in any way shape of form - sorry to say. More
We have purchased several cars from Jerry Dreckman at Whitaker Buick. He listens to what you want and then sets out to find that car. We never feel rushed to make a decision and he makes you feel that Whitaker Buick. He listens to what you want and then sets out to find that car. We never feel rushed to make a decision and he makes you feel that you are his only customer- even though that is not true. The LaCrosse we just purchased was what we really wanted, but we had come to the conclusion that it would be more expensive than we wanted. On Labor Day, Jerry called and had found one that was within our price range. It is over and above what we thought we would get- we love it. Jerry gives exceptional service and that is why we continue to go back to him for our car purchases. We have all of our maintenance done at Whitaker and have been more than pleased with the service in that department also. Thanks Jerry and thanks Whitaker Buick! More
Mike Gaydos is an extremely honest and genuine salesmen. I really appreciated his patience and expertise with Buick line of cars.

He spent nearly 3 hours of his time with the careful explanation of the ins an outs of our new vehicle. He even offered to come help us set up the Homelink for our garage door. I highly recommend Mike Gaydos and the Forest Lake Dealership to all of my family and friends. I am satisfied with my new Buick Regal. More
Brad was knowledgeable and friendly. He took the time I needed to get familiar with the features of the my new Terrian. He made sure the gas tank was full and the car was wiped down even in the rain.

Everything I rated was accurate once I was assigned a salesperson, however we had to wait 10 to 15 minutes and ask someone to wait on us. We were VERY close to leaving. salesperson, however we had to wait 10 to 15 minutes and ask someone to wait on us. We were VERY close to leaving. More
I called Whitaker to enquire about a used car I saw listed on the internet. I was connected to Gary Miskowic. He answered cheerily and was very friendly and informative. When I found out the car I s listed on the internet. I was connected to Gary Miskowic. He answered cheerily and was very friendly and informative. When I found out the car I saw was still available I asked if we could come and see it. Gary said of course and he'd be watching for us. He met us at the door and soon his humor and persona made us feel very welcome. He had the car we asked about ready to test drive. He pointed out features on the car and answered all our questions. We decided to purchase the car. Whitaker Buick is certainly a dealership I'd recommend to everyone. Steve had our paperwork ready to sign and explained everything as we proceeded. One of the sales associates even let us watch the Twins game on his laptop while we waited to finish our transaction. We left feeling like Gary was a friend and Whitaker Buick gave exceptional service. Claudia and Darold Engstran White Bear Lake, MN More
We purchased a 2005 BMW from Whitaker. Our salesman was Brad Madison. When we arrived we were friendly greeted by Brad who invited us in. We new we wanted to see the BMW so preceded to check it out and tes Brad Madison. When we arrived we were friendly greeted by Brad who invited us in. We new we wanted to see the BMW so preceded to check it out and test drive. We had our grandaughter who is 2 and half with us so wasnt quite sure how all would go. Brad took over and just was the best with her. He had her an IPAD to watch shows on, crackers and soda. I think she enjoyed her self almost as much as I did buying my BMW. It was a no pressure, great experience and I would highly recommend for anyone to go there to buy their next vehicle. Thanks to Brad and thank you Whitaker! More

We entered the dealership just to look and not be bothered by a salesman. Mike came over and was not one of those pushy salesman. He asked if he could answer any questions and took it to the level t bothered by a salesman. Mike came over and was not one of those pushy salesman.
