Hi, I'm Walter. I started working here between professions many years ago and never left! I really enjoy meeting and helping people and I get to do a lot of that at our dealership. Before working at Schumacher Chevrolet (We were previously known as Gearhart Chevrolet), I attended school at Wagner College in Staten Island, NY, where I graduated in 1976, and later earned a degree from Drew University in 1979. Since then, I've lived in Sussex County most of my adult life. I now live in Stockholm NJ and am married to my wife Linda. Between us we have three adult sons, 2 daughters-in-law, 4 grandchildren, and Buster our border collie. We enjoy outdoor stuff of all kinds, especially our kayaks and photography. I love nature, science, music, am an amateur astronomer, and grew up a country boy in Glen Spey, NY. I am thankful for my years here at our dealership and so many great friendships with my customers. I hope I get to meet you too - someday soon.

The ratings given to the Gearhart Dealership do not even begin to express the AMAZING serviced we received. Andrew Garcia - was key, with the communication and availability for all questions via e begin to express the AMAZING serviced we received. Andrew Garcia - was key, with the communication and availability for all questions via email and text, his understanding an appreciation for the parameters which we needed guided us and gave us the confidence to come to the showroom . Walter Schwarz - Pleasant, no pressures and very personable. He didnt waste our time, understood our desires and time restrictions. He couldnt have done a better job meeting every one of our needs, a true asset. Timothy Murray - All to offend the "finance guy" gets the bad rap. this man was fantastic, made us feel very comforable, worked within the dollar restrictions we presented and most of all NO SUPRISES. EXACTLY as presented to us from the very begining. No hidden cost, tack ons or undiscussed fees. Thank you Tim you are a true professional and a very important part of an amazing team. Thank you Gearhart, you TEAM is a reflection of the excellences that puts your dealership above all! More

When I was looking for a new vehicle, I called and made an appointment with Walter whom I had bought cars from before. I've been doing business with Gearhart since 2001 in new cars and service. I explained an appointment with Walter whom I had bought cars from before. I've been doing business with Gearhart since 2001 in new cars and service. I explained what I needed and he listened to what my needs were. That's what I like about Walter, he listens and reacts to the customer's needs. I chose a new Equinox, we worked out the trade in values and the selling price and I am the proud owner of a new Equinox. Nick More

In 2009 my wife and I had a Chevy Uplander that was comming off a lease and we went to Gearhart and found Walter there . It was nice to meet a really nice person that Walt is and he took care of our le comming off a lease and we went to Gearhart and found Walter there . It was nice to meet a really nice person that Walt is and he took care of our lease and helped us to purchase a Traverse. We ,my wife and I, fell in love with the Traverse and found it to be a smooth riding and just a great car. In 2011 I lost my wife and I now had a Traverse and a 2006 Dodge Dakota. Finally I decided to go to one vehicle. I called Walt up and he took my two vehicles in and showed me a very well equipped Silverado in a color I liked . It really did not take long to talk me into the truck so now I have a new truck and if someone needs a great salesman,call Gearhart and ask for Walt More

I wanted a stress-free experience because my wife dislikes pushy salespeople. I let Damon know that and he asssured me that it would be excellent, and it was. The car itself is wonderful, and Andy dislikes pushy salespeople. I let Damon know that and he asssured me that it would be excellent, and it was. The car itself is wonderful, and Andy and Walt were super friendly. This place has a great vibe going on, and I highly recommend it as a purchase destination. Walt is a true professional and handled every detail perfectly with a comprehensive explanation of how everything worked. The business office was run efficiently and with no harsh sales techniques. Five stars, all across the board. More

I had a very pleasant experience from the moment I spoke to Walter on the telephone, until I drove my new truck off of the dealer lot. Everyone, including the owner, Mrs. Schumacher-Tilton, were extremely to Walter on the telephone, until I drove my new truck off of the dealer lot. Everyone, including the owner, Mrs. Schumacher-Tilton, were extremely attentive and honest throughout my car buying experience. The General Sales Manager John also helped me get a fantastic interest rate on for my truck and I couldn't be happier. It's not really common to experience true professionalism, honesty and integrity in the car sales business, but I'm happy to say that I did experience it at Gearheart. I hope God blesses all the Gearheart and Schumacher Chevrolet families with more than they could ever dream and hope for in sales and new customer business. Keep up the great work. Truly, Robin More

Although I had purchased a used Jaguar from Gearhart in 1964, I had no need to buy a new vehicle from them since then as my travels never brought me past their door. Since my current car expired on Christm 1964, I had no need to buy a new vehicle from them since then as my travels never brought me past their door. Since my current car expired on Christmas morning I was literally pushed into a position of buying a replacement. Looking on the web I had a number of quotes come into my mailbox and it was Andy Garcia who persevered and convinced me to come to Gearhart. Once I arrived it was Walter Schwarz and Damon Velasquez who took over the paperwork and delivery process. Both gentlemen were a pleasure to deal with and made the entire process very easy for me. This I might add was performed as furniture was being removed from the facility in preparation for the new building construction. My Equinox in fact was the last vehicle to be delivered from the old building. Coming from a Beemer to a Chevy gave me pause, but I am delighted with my new high tech Chevy and would recommend Gearhart to anyone. More
