Our sales consultant, Sherman, was so patient with us trying out several cars. They helped us get the loan in our budget range. Very impressed with the dealership!
We had a great experience with the team at Grote automotive, their sales consultant Sherman Manring was very attentive and knowledgeable of their inventory. He worked hard to get us the car that we wanted, they even hauled it all the way from Indiana. The sales manager Gage fought hard with the banks to get us the monthly payments that best suited our budget, thanks Grote see you soon.
