What Brainerd Neighbors Are Saying
Nothing tells our story better than the words of the people we serve every day. From first-time buyers to lifelong customers, here's what members of our own community have shared:
Best in the business by far! I won't buy a vehicle from anyone else and I recommend Dondelinger to everyone. I have the utmost respect and loyalty for them, because they have the same respect and loyalty for me. The entire staff, in every department, is outstanding!
These guys are above and beyond awesome! My check engine light came on and without me even asking, they offered to pick my car up from work, leave me a loaner and diagnose and fix the problem all in the same day. It feels like working with family -- and that's no exaggeration. 10/10, customer for life.
I had the best experience buying my new truck from Dondelinger Chevrolet. The team worked hard to get me the best deal and saved me a ton of money. I have always hated car shopping but this was an absolute pleasure. Thanks team!
We had a fantastic experience buying our car here! It was a very low-pressure environment and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!
