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!

Excellent Dealship Jeff Nelson our car salesman stayed past closing and the dealership stayed open to accommodate the purchasing of our Cadillac. Being winter time, the Jeff Nelson our car salesman stayed past closing and the dealership stayed open to accommodate the purchasing of our Cadillac. Being winter time, the vehicle was brought inside to show us the details of the car. Jeff was patient and not pushy in anyway. The sales process was very smooth and quick. We love our Cadillac that was purchased from Ryan Auto Mall and I would recommend anyone looking for a Car to see Jeff Nelson for a great car buying experience. Shane Hybben More

Tahoe My wife and I came in to test drive a Tahoe we had seen online. Jeff went with us on the drive and we decided to try a Suburban next. We were not sure My wife and I came in to test drive a Tahoe we had seen online. Jeff went with us on the drive and we decided to try a Suburban next. We were not sure what we wanted and decided to go home and think about it. We came back 10 days later and bought the Tahoe after doing a lot of research on pricing and avaiability of the color and features we wanted. Jeff was very easy to work with and took me all the way through the sale without handing me off multiple time which seems to be the normal at most dealerships. More

My salesman, Jeff Nelson, was willing to work with me to get me a great deal. He went out of his way to make sure the vehicle I was purchasing was exactly right for me. He worked to get things done in a timely manner and I really appreciated that. Next time I need a vehicle or anyone I know needs one, I am definitely recommending them to go talk with Jeff. Absolutely the best salesman I've ever worked with. More

Great Dealership in all respects We are long time Cadillac owners that originally came to Ryan for service when we moved to Minnesota and found that it was the best possible. Our serv We are long time Cadillac owners that originally came to Ryan for service when we moved to Minnesota and found that it was the best possible. Our service manager Tom Sherwin is always going the extra mile to make certain that everything is done correctly and that we are satisfied with the work. When it came time for a new car in 2009 Ryan was the only dealership we considered and this week when we decided to trade Ryan of course was our destination. Our salesman, Jeff Nelson could not have been nicer or more knowledgable. From the time we entered the dealership to the time we left we could not have had a better experience - one that we know will continue in the future on those rare occasions when we have to visit the service department.

Excited with new purchase! My initial contact was with Jeff Nelson, however I wasn't able to come in until later in the evening, so Jeff scheduled me to meet with Jake Jacobso My initial contact was with Jeff Nelson, however I wasn't able to come in until later in the evening, so Jeff scheduled me to meet with Jake Jacobson. The car I was interested in was ready for me to take for a test drive and when done Jake was able to answer all of my questions regarding the vehicle. Jake was very helpful and knowledgeable and was never "pushy." A couple of days later I was the owner of a Chevy Equinox. Jake was great to work with and went out of his way to make sure I was pleased with my purchase. Thanks for all your help Jake! Connie R More

The experience we had at Ryan Auto Mall was great. We were looking at a few different dealerships that had the vehicle we wanted and enjoyed the experience with Jeff Nelson over other dealerships. Jeff were looking at a few different dealerships that had the vehicle we wanted and enjoyed the experience with Jeff Nelson over other dealerships. Jeff was knowledgeable and answered questions, was not pushy, and gave use the time to discuss the decision off-site. As for the dealership, they made sure the car was clean and well presented. They took time to show us all they had to offer but did not push any accessories or add-on. We appreciated this approach verses the "what will it take to get the deal done now" approach. Price was a factor and they offered pricing in line with others we were looking at. However, because we were working off internet pricing there was not much room to lower the purchase price or add value to our potential trade. Overall great experience and we will look to work with Jeff and Ryan Auto Mall when future vehicle needs arise. More
