Cars have always been a hobby of mine starting with my Matchbox collection as a kid back in the 60's. My dad was a big influence and taught me how a vehicle operates, he was a "Shade Tree" mechanic. In college I took a job at a local auto detail shop. That turned out to be my start in the automotive business. I enjoy meeting new people and always try and give an honest and "down to earth" experience for the customer. I guess that rubbed off on me from my days as an Eagle Scout. Ryan Auto Mall is a family owned business, and we think of the customer as family, so that philosophy blends in well. We pride ourselves on being here for the customer before, during and after the sale. My favorite hobby is motor racing, and I attended the Indy 500 and other big races for many years. I guess I'm just a car nut!

GOOD SHOW!!!! After getting frustrated with two other metro dealers we found the truck we wanted at Ryan and called Jeff and made arrangements to look at it. When w After getting frustrated with two other metro dealers we found the truck we wanted at Ryan and called Jeff and made arrangements to look at it. When we got there he had the truck inside ready for us to look at and it was spit shined and ready to deliver! I can not say enough good about everyone we worked with there! They run a top notch dealership! Kinda sucks that they are an hour and a half from us! More

I was surprised how quick and smooth everything went. Considering I live in Hibbing, MN and I did my financing online and over the phone I couldn't believe how easy it was and I didn't have to spend my w Considering I live in Hibbing, MN and I did my financing online and over the phone I couldn't believe how easy it was and I didn't have to spend my whole day in a car dealer ship waiting to get approved. When I arrived at the dealership to finalize the deal Scott goodmanson had both vehicles I was interested in parked out front all warmed up. I was able to test drive both I made my decision we went back inside went over a few things I had questions about then I went to financing he explained payments warranty etc. I signed many forms and I was on my way. Scott had my car parked inside ready for me to drive out. I was really impressed with everyone and the car dealership was very nice thanks to everyone who helped me make this a pleasant experience.

2015 Silverado We had a great experience at Ryan Auto Mall in Buffalo, MN. Our initial visit was just prior to the dealership closing for the evening. Jeff Nelson We had a great experience at Ryan Auto Mall in Buffalo, MN. Our initial visit was just prior to the dealership closing for the evening. Jeff Nelson took the time to show us a few trucks that interested us and answered all of our questions without making us feel rushed even through it was after closing time at the dealership. Upon our return the buying experience was smooth. Jeff and the team at Ryan took the time to ensure all of our needs were met and our experience was positive. At no time did we feel pressured to make a decision. I would recommend Ryan Auto Mall to anyone looking for a vehicle. More

No Pressure I had been shopping for a vehicle for a few months, reading reviews, checking features and prices. I came across a Chevy Cruze for a great price on th I had been shopping for a vehicle for a few months, reading reviews, checking features and prices. I came across a Chevy Cruze for a great price on the internet and emailed my interest. I received a call right away from Jeffery Nelson. I must have called him a dozen times in one week because I was on the fence about going all the way to Buffalo. However I'm glad I did. Everyone was helpful, from financing to accessories. Everything was explained clearly with NO PRESSURE to add anything to our vehicle. We added cruise control and automatic start, but we went in knowing ahead of time that we were going to do it, I will shop there again for our next vehicle and will recommend them to friends. I also saved on my taxes because their county tax is 1% cheaper. More
