Very rude manager!!
I went to fix my tires yesterday because it was losing a small amount of air but not fast enough to lose all at once. So they fixed the problem (which they claimed) and I got home straight and parked on the driveway. I use my second car for errands. The next morning, one of the tires is completely flat. So, I called them up and the manager was so rude blaming me that I might have run over a nail after when I left the shop. He was raising his voice on me and trying to reverse the problem on me. He said he was the manager at the service dealer. I am never going back there to

Yelping a car dealership, with well intended words isn't an activity I might've ever thought possible.
Lo and behold, this guy had what I wanted. Since I didn't care terribly about stereos and all the bells and whistles etc, I simply drove it and mentally registered the lower mileage. Additionally it was remarkably quieter inside than my 2009 Odyssey even after I spent countless hours sound dampening it.
Killer service and even a couple follow up texts from Wade, asking if everything was as it should be. Cool.
This marks the second car purchased by my wife and myself. The car

Everything was great at 1st they even gave us a warranty but not even 6 months later something major goes wrong and they refuse to cover it at all and will not give a good reason. They found any possible way to get out of fixing it when I clearly could not have caused this issue in less than 6 months. I will never buy a car from these crooks again!

If you know what you want, and tell them beforehand, this can be a place to find the car you have been looking for. I saw a car I liked, read the reviews (boy are they AWFUL!) and emailed my Salesperson (Charlie) exactly what I wanted when I came in. I wanted the car on a lift for inspection, I had my credit report available to show that I was a real buyer and I didn't want them to run my credit unless we had agreed upon a price, I didn't want the "salesman game" and that if we went back and forth 3 times, I would politely walk out, I wanted a Carfax available, I would not be

On March 31st, 2018 my mother went to Schoepp Motors in search of a vehicle, as hers was no longer safe to transport her granddaughter. Having previously been in the automotive industry for years, I was hesitant to let her do business with Schoepp, but her sister knew the salesman. I live out of town so this made me feel slightly more comfortable. This was my first mistake.
My mom was shown a car that fit within her budget and given her situation, she was in need of a reliable vehicle fast. Not being able to be there in person, I spoke with Russell, her salesman on the

I will never go to Schoepp motors again !! Worse customer service dealing with a general manager, Doug Johnson. Purchased a vehicle and less then a month of me owning it, it needed a $800 repair, and schoepp felt they weren’t responsible for helping with the repairs even with a 3 month warranty I received when I purchased it. Doug was very rude,… used profanity during conversations with him in person and over the phone, he never got back to me when he said he would. And he just didn’t care about his customer satisfaction! Which is part of their slogan on their website. NOT !

I went out to Scheopp Motors today to look at a car. Was told by Dan he would make it worth the drive.... NOT SO....Only came down $300. from list price and couldn't get the 55" TV offer with every car sales made today. Plus they ran my credit before coming to an agreement on a price without my consent. Told them let's see where we are for price before we talk finance. Already approved at bank. Not happy with the sales team.

Purchased an excellent F150 on July 9th 2019. My sales person deserves a 5 star rating, he was very attentive, not pushy and was enthusiastic in helping me find the specific option in a truck I was looking for.
My one star review is due to the finance department for two reasons. 1.) Completely ignoring my request to work exclusively with UW Credit union. I mentioned it several times and during the paper signing I asked him to verify that UW Credit union was in fact the loan originator. I took him at his word and quickly signed the papers as it was the end of day. Two is weeks later I haven&apos

Don't ever buy cars from this place. I've had 2 bad experiences and I was willing to let the first one slide, but now I should spread a few warnings for people who are gullible enough to give this place their business.
The first bad experience I had was getting my previous car serviced... or at least getting a response that they were even going to work on it within the next century. I had to get it looked at because it got flooded and I needed to know the extent of the damage, but the only feedback I was able to get from them came when I was the one to contact THEM. It took a week passing

This place has lots of very lightly used vehicles almost every brand so it makes car shopping and doing comparison a breeze, saves lots of time from having to go from lot to lot. I have bought 2 vehicles from them at a fair price and I got what I bought. I bought a 2002 chevy impala with 150k miles on it for couple grand and I drove it 2 years and traded it in for 500 bucks. My 2nd one was a trusty Toyota which they have a lot of and still running strong. They do have cheaper cars which is nice but usually with super cheaper cars you get what you pay for,. My experience there has been just fine

If I could give this no star I would. WORST POST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I have never seen or even think that treating their customers the way they did can keep their business running. I worked with the sales man called Chris. He suppose to order a part for the car and have it in for me in a few days. They never did until two weeks later and ordered the wrong part and was denying responsibilities. He would not pick up my phone calls or answer the text messages. Overall experience with this place is that they try to attack you and push you to buy the car and then after you sign, its like they never

Bought a 2010 truck. They did a great job making sure all the rust was painted over. Within two months they paint job cracked and all the rust they had merely painted over came out. They refused to take the car back or fix it. I spent way too much for the car and spent another $5000 fixing what should have been at least disclosed to me. These guys are crooks. And I've heard from so many people how they you sell you crap cars at outrageous prices. They're like a ghetto chop shop that somehow managed to stay in business this long. No ethics and no customer service or loyalty.

Buyer beware... lots of nice cars with some good prices, but lots of fast talking going on between salesman and Dale. They will throw numbers at you, Dale will come in and and throw a few compliments at you and tell you how much money they are losing on this sale and then before you know it the final paperwork is sitting in front of you. The paperwork they filled out had the monthly payments 50.00 more then what the salesman told me,
So I walked.

I purchased a used 2008 Toyota Tundra around 2 months ago from Sheopp Motors Northeast location and absolutely love it. So needless to say I was surprised when it failed to start yesterday. I had it towed to their Middleton location, where they have their service department. A day later and I found out that the previous owner had installed some custom wiring that lost connection and was failing to start 9 out of 10 times. Ryan at the service desk was prompt to waive all diagnostics and service fees and I have my truck 24 hours later, returned to the reliable toyota stock wiring. I'm so thankful
