38 years experience with Dave Walter Inc, including 33 with the BMW brand shows my passion for the brand as well as my ability and enthusiasm in satisfying customers for the long term. Some customers have returned to do business with me over 2 or 3 decades of loyalty. My experience at Dave Walter has included being Pre-Owned Manager, New Car Manager, Finance Manger and General Manager so I have a very well rounded base of talent to help you thru the buying or leasing process. Outside interests over the years have included having worked on the Formula 1 circuit during my college years in the early 70's, to being heavily involved with Boy Scouts here in Akron with my oldest son and also enjoyed a couple of years of racing in SCCA, even finishing the 24 Hour Race at Nelson's Ledges, winning First in Class and 5th overall with my teammates. I truly believe that "The relationship STARTS with the sale, it doesn't end with it"

Hello, My name is Molly. This was my first time Hello, My name is Molly. This was my first time purchasing a BMW. This was my first time ever in a BMW dealership. I saw a lot of cars online, I had Hello, My name is Molly. This was my first time purchasing a BMW. This was my first time ever in a BMW dealership. I saw a lot of cars online, I had just paid off an suv that I had had for around six years and I was ready and eager to get a new vehicle. Even that my previous vehicle was from a reputable company that I will just say was not BMW, I had still always wanted one and felt as if I had been kindof settling for what was practical and for what I could afford. I had just assumed that because my husband and I are just a middle class family that this type of cad would just be way out if our budget especially with a one year old son. Still, I always heard that a BMW was one of the safest, most reliable vehicles ever so before I completely disregarded the idea of getting one I wanted to make sure that it was indeed out of budget before I moved on to look at anything else. I called and talked to about 5 different people in about 5 different dealerships, let them know the budget, and whether or not there was anything within it available. All said no as I had expected so it didn't surprise me that much. Two of the dealerships also told me not to bother looking anymore because I am not going to get a car anywhere for the price range that I was looking for, even with the trade in of my previous vehicle. Just then while looking at other websites for another type of car, I got a phone call from Eric Eisenhart from Dave Walter BMW saying that he had a couple cars available that would be perfect for me and that I just had to come down to take a look. He had also taken pictures of the two and sent them to me on my phone so if I didn't like the ones that he had available I wouldn't waste a drive down to the dealership. I had told him thank you and that I appreciated it but I don't think that I will be getting my beloved BMW as I have already talked to quite a few dealerships and it is apparently out of my budget. He then asked what that budget was and after I told him said, "We can find you something I'm sure." He said that the two pictures of the BMW 's that he sent me were both within my budget! I was very excited, My husband and I came down to the dealership and the white car that I had liked out of the two looked gorgeous. The staff was great and everyone was so friendly I can honestly say I have never had so many people be so friendly and yes, just genuinely nice. It was refreshing after you already have this horrifying image of a salesperson chasing you around a dealership or pressuring you for a decision when you think of having to purchase a new car. My husband, myself, and my son all went down within a couple days to the dealership and we were unfortunately on a tight schedule because my husband had to be at work. Mr. Eisenhart was fast and efficient and we were in and out of the dealership within a very reasonable amount of time. He gave us the time to test drive the car alone and discuss any matters at hand privately, he showed me how everything on the car works and all of it's features, he answered any questions that we had, and was very thorough in each and every detail. I was thrilled when I left the lot with my brand new 2011 BMW that I apparently could afford after all! It was a pleasant experience and I can completely see why this dealership is one of the highest rated in the country. It's pretty obvious that they found out what people want and give it to them. Thank You Mr.Eric Eisenhart and Dave Walter BMW, we had a blast. More

I had been a regular Mercedes customer but had become tired of their somewhat pompous attitude. They seemed unwilling to do anything beyond what they were required to do and negotiating on price was simp tired of their somewhat pompous attitude. They seemed unwilling to do anything beyond what they were required to do and negotiating on price was simply out of the question, even with a repeat customer like myself. One of my colleagues gave me Shujaat's number and from the first conversation I could tell this was going to go well. Polite, professional, and knowledgeable is what he was all about. I did almost everyting over the phone or on the Dave Walter website as Shujaat talked me through it. The first time I went to the dealership was the night I went to pick up my new car. Shujaat was unable to be there, but put me in contact with Eric who is the antithesis of what everyone imagines a car salesman as. A true gentleman who patiently took his time with me regarding every detail of the my new vehicle. He even came out to my office (over a half hour away) 4 days later to make sure I had all the intricacies of the navigation system, satellite radio, phone system, etc., down. Certainly, this is not something he had to do. Erik did all my financial work with me and was a pleasure because he made this tedious task funny and enjoyable, even at 9 o'clock at night. All in all, I have had a very good first experience with the folks at Dave Walter BMW and I think my Mercedes days are now behind me. More
