Bob Zeihen was great to work with (knowledgeable, friendly and not at all pushy). I felt that I was treated fairly throughout the process, and I will definitely look at Palmen for my next vehicle purchase. More

The entire process was very quick and easy (I was a cash buyer with trade in) and although I would have liked to get a little more for my trade in (who doesn't) I thought their explaination to the price was fair. Overall I would definitely recommend them! More

Sign an drive and throw you to the curb or under a bus.SHAME On YOU,SHAME ON ME. More

Great teamwork!! Before yesterday I hadn't purchased a new vehicle within the last 8 years. It is the worst thing in my opinion. I absolutely loathe it. Until I me Before yesterday I hadn't purchased a new vehicle within the last 8 years. It is the worst thing in my opinion. I absolutely loathe it. Until I met Palmen. Tonya Tatro sat down with me and I listed with her what I needed in a new car, what I wanted and what I could afford. She was extremely patient and kind. We searched, went on test drives and I found the one within two days. Since she is internet sales I was passed off to Matt to discuss cost. Matt was also very patient, kind and gave me what he could for the car. He was willing to work with me, along with Tonya and because of them, I was able to come home with a new vehicle. I highly recommend them both. It made what I despise the most, extremely easy and less stressful from what it could have been. I also cannot forget the young man who helped me retrieve my parking sticker on my car in the bitter cold. I believe his name was Cody. All very kind and helpful. More

Great experience - nice and attentive Let me start by saying I will purchase a car from anywhere if they are great on service and price. I've even crossed state lines to do so. I always Let me start by saying I will purchase a car from anywhere if they are great on service and price. I've even crossed state lines to do so. I always start locally of course, but I will branch out if either of the above are lacking. I was ecstatic to find that Palmen Racine - which is literally up the road from me - came through right from the start on both of the above. I started my car buying journey by doing a ton of research online. I knew roughly what couple of vehicles I was interested in before doing any test drives. Once I was ready to talk numbers and get an idea of costs, I reached out to Tonya - their internet manager at Palmen Racine. Tonya was great and we chatted on and off for a few days while I sorted through a busy work schedule. Eventually - she set up a time for me to come in on a test drive of the Jeep Renegade. She was super accommodating on this - offering me the option to come in at any time or even having somebody drop the test drive off at my house! Anyway, once I got an open slot in my schedule, I was able to come in myself. This is where I met Matt. Matt was great, he took me out on my first spin late at night. Matt answered most any question I had. A day or so later, I needed to get a quote on my trade, so Tonya had me come in again and she again let me take the car for a solo spin while I waited. Eventually, when it came time to buy, I was connected with Clay and Jerad. Clay is the main sales manager and I had a couple quick chat with him. But Jerad was my primary contact and he set everything up for me. And he was great. The Renegade I decided on was literally just in off a truck - and it turned out it had a small dent in one of the doors. Jerad had that taken care of no problem before I took delivery. Then after a few days, I noted that the Jeep had a small smudge on the drive side - which turned out to be a scratch. Well, Jerad was there again for me and he personally fixed up my car himself so that it looked tip top. Meanwhile, Clay had a temp car ready for me to go early that morning so I didn't need to miss work while Jerad touched up the small imperfection. Of course later that same day, I got the car back in mint condition. Great job by Jerad on the work and by both he an Clay on the service. I'd just like to finish by saying that everyone was great to work with, never had any pressure at all to "buy now" and they made sure to keep in touch with me to make sure I was happy numerous times along the way. They've definitely earned my business now and in the future. Now for the ONE negative- I wish their waiting area offered more than bad coffee. Nearly every other dealership I'd been too offered a nice complimentary selection of water, soda, cookies, fruits, etc. while you wait for service. It may seem like a small thing, but it was noticeable that most of their competition was a step above in this regard. Hopefully they can upgrade that in the near future. If not for that, my experience would have been absolutely perfect. More

Lowest Price / lowest respect I inquired about a vehicle and was told Palmen would probably be cheapest. They were. Here are some other things they were - pushy. I told a salesman I inquired about a vehicle and was told Palmen would probably be cheapest. They were. Here are some other things they were - pushy. I told a salesman my budget. I inquired about cars. He showed me them and said time and again, they wont take your offer, its too low, even though it was above my budget and he knew it. They took the offer and then when I said whoa, not what I had in mind, he got angry, told me I was never gonna see a better offer and stormed off, cigarette in hand. I left. Even though I feel as though I am rewarding bad behavior I still bought a from them because of price. Today i bought a nice vehicle there, and in the process of dealing with the business manager, was asked to fill out a paper that clearly said only sign if completely filled out. It was not, when I asked about it, the bus manager said "dude, what do you care, it doesnt even matter" what? This is shady. While the replacement salesman today was pleasent as could be, helpful and polite, I would suggest dealing with Palmen only if you have thick skin, and can take your car purchasing with a side of rudeness.
