Cars have always been a hobby of mine starting with my Matchbox collection as a kid back in the 60's. My dad was a big influence and taught me how a vehicle operates, he was a "Shade Tree" mechanic. In college I took a job at a local auto detail shop. That turned out to be my start in the automotive business. I enjoy meeting new people and always try and give an honest and "down to earth" experience for the customer. I guess that rubbed off on me from my days as an Eagle Scout. Ryan Auto Mall is a family owned business, and we think of the customer as family, so that philosophy blends in well. We pride ourselves on being here for the customer before, during and after the sale. My favorite hobby is motor racing, and I attended the Indy 500 and other big races for many years. I guess I'm just a car nut!

He was friendly and easy to converse with & explained all the details clearly. Some dealerships we have been to lack that "customer first criteria", but at Ryan Chevrolet we felt welcomed, appreciated and were treated repectfully. Absolutely recommend!! More

Jeff Nelson was a straight up salesman, not pushy and knew a lot about the Enclave he sold me. He was very informative and took the time to show me a lot of the features the vehicle had. Lisa was friendly and Josh in finance was great too! The only thing that keeps me from giving a 5 was the length of time it took to buy but all in all it’s a welcoming place with friendly staff!!

Worst Dealer Experience I am not sure why I am posting this, since Ryan Auto will likely remove it to hide my terrible experience from the honest, hard-working people of Minn I am not sure why I am posting this, since Ryan Auto will likely remove it to hide my terrible experience from the honest, hard-working people of Minnesota. No one likes a long review, so I will try to make it short: I recently traded my 2012 Jeep Patriot in for a 2013 Chevy Silverado. I was ready for something bigger, and the price was right on the truck, as advertised. I spent 6 hours on the road, and 2+ hours at the dealership to do this deal. Once I got there, they low balled me on the original trade offer of the Jeep and even after negotiation, they lied to me on the final amount. I was told they would cut me a check for the difference, but now they claim we never discussed a difference. I later found out that the truck did not have heated seats as advertised, to which they responded with “there is a disclaimer stating not all of our info may be accurate". After more back-and-forth, they said they would give me a small discount if I wanted to drive 3+ hours one way to have them installed at a later date. I have had the truck for less than a week, and the band-aids are starting to fall off. I am finding all sorts of little problems that they hid to sell it, and I am still trying to get the money that they agreed to pay me. Jeff Nelson was my salesman, and has proven to be a stereotypical used-car salesman, lying to me and saying whatever required to make his commission. He pawned all the actual decisions off on his manager, Tim Adams, whom I can only assume is the king of dishonest used-car jockeys. If you find a nice vehicle at Ryan Auto, do yourself a favor and go to any other dealer. You will get more respect and better service from pretty much anywhere else. More
