Best car buying experience ever We went there figuring we were going to have the same experience you would expect from a used car dealership. You know, a payment just a little higher We went there figuring we were going to have the same experience you would expect from a used car dealership. You know, a payment just a little higher than you wanted, talking down to a lesser car than you want, and not feeling like you were taken care of. TO OUR SURPRISE!!! None of that happened. Marlin, our salesman, treated us very well. We got the vehicle we wanted, $60 under what we said was our maximum payment, and we felt very well taken care of. If you want or need a used car I highly recommend Marlin as your salesperson. Call and make an appointment with him so you are sure to get him instead of someone else. I can't guarantee what other salesmen are like but Marlin WILL take care of you the right way. Ask for Marlin and don't let anyone else help you. More

Best place to shop for a new car! This was our 3rd car with them. ( 3 yrs ago an Altima) this past weekend I traded my Altima in for Buick Enclave (Friday) then Saturday a Chevy Truck This was our 3rd car with them. ( 3 yrs ago an Altima) this past weekend I traded my Altima in for Buick Enclave (Friday) then Saturday a Chevy Truck (for Hubby) this is by far the best experience (we) I have ever had with a car dealership. The salesmen we worked with were so Awesome.. Jim, Adam & Kris. They worked with us to make sure the payments were set up to where it would work with our budget. And so much personality it was fun to interact with all of them. I even met Fred :) We have already mentioned Grote to a fellow employee of my husband . I will most definitely recommend Grote to anyone we know who is looking for a new vehicle because this place not only rocks, they will do whatever they can to work with you.. they are truly awesome..

From the point I searched the Inventory online, sc I was in need of getting into a newer vehicle and Grote Automotive exceeded all of my expectations. From the point I searched the Inventory online, scheduled my appointment, hit the door and drove away in a luxurious car was next to PERFECT! My sales guy David R. was a HUGE help, Jim R. helped me with the right trade option, Derrick C. supported my concerns with a key fob and Kris C. in Finance explained every detail. This sales team in Fort Wayne has truly set a new Standard in the car buying experience! Job well done to Mr. Fred Grote for bringing a hall of fame team together and establishing the NEW STANDARD in Fort Wayne on car sales! #RespectTheStandard More
