I started selling Chevys for my father's dealership in Sherburn, MN in 1981 right out of college. In 1989, we purchased the Chevy dealership in Fairmont, MN and I now run the business with my two younger brothers. Hawkins Chevrolet has been a family business since 1967. My favorite thing to do at work is sell cars and make people happy! Looking forward to earning your business.

I appreciate the relationships that I have with several of the staff there, especially Troy Sunken. He knows the kinds of vehicles I am interested in and does whatever it takes to meet my needs. I would highly recommend Hawkins to anyone. I also appreciate my relationship with Tom Hawkins.

Hawkins definitely made my first purchase from a dealership a good experience. Chris Finck met me on the lot and answered any question I had throughout the pocess of purchasing my 2009 GMC Acadia as dealership a good experience. Chris Finck met me on the lot and answered any question I had throughout the pocess of purchasing my 2009 GMC Acadia as did anyone else working. They made it very easy to get my financing done and Tabitha was easy to work with when I had any questions on the financing. I am sure I will be checking Hawkins out first when I decide to buy my next vehicle. More

We have purchased several new pickups from several dealerships, this is the second new pickup we have purchased at Hawkins. I have always felt that you can advertise an image but a reputation must be dealerships, this is the second new pickup we have purchased at Hawkins. I have always felt that you can advertise an image but a reputation must be earned...Hawkins advertises the "Hawkins Difference"...there truly is a difference. Everyone there is hometown friendly and professional and strives to make your buying experience excellent and the service after the sale is second to none. Hawkins does so many little things that make the big difference.We would highly recommend this dealership. More

My wife and I have both now purchased vehicles from Hawkins Chevy, We couldn't be happier with both of our vehicles. Chris Finck was an excellent salesman, he wasn't to pushing in asking us if we would Hawkins Chevy, We couldn't be happier with both of our vehicles. Chris Finck was an excellent salesman, he wasn't to pushing in asking us if we would consider a little higher priced car or a different model and that is something I find as GREAT quality as a salesman, we have been to other dealers where all they do is push you to spend more. No such case here they are just happy to help you in anyway they can. My wife and I plan on being back in the future, and we can't wait! More

On November 10, 2012 we purchased a 2008 Grand Prix GXP from Hawking Chevrolet in Fairmont, MN. Troy Sunken was great to work with, he made sure the car was washed and ready to go even before we arrived at from Hawking Chevrolet in Fairmont, MN. Troy Sunken was great to work with, he made sure the car was washed and ready to go even before we arrived at the dealership for a test drive. Troy sat us down to go over the cars history and the repairs that they recently had done. We left for a few hours to crunch some numbers and returned with a vehicle for a possible trade in. They were closing at 4:00 pm that day but Troy, Steve, and Tabitha stayed until we arrived back at the dealership. Steve checked out our possible trade in and we began crunching numbers again. Tabitha left for a short time but came back to the office to draw the paperwork up for us. Soon after we purchased our car we were driving home on I-90 and yes, we hit a deer. Just our luck, we buy a new car and wrecked it all within 30 minutes from leaving the dealership. Big Richards tow service came out to tow the car to Don’s Repair in Fairmont and was able to get ahold of Tom Hawkins who generously offered us a courtesy car, so that we could get home until we figured the details out on our newly wrecked car. Troy came back to the dealership to give us the keys to the courtesy car and even called on that Monday to see how things were going. When we are in the market for a new/used vehicle we will definitely being going back to Hawkins Chevrolet, in Fairmont because they truly do go the extra mile and we are truly Grateful for all their Generosity in helping us through our recent purchase and accident :) More

Hawkins has always impressed me with their honest for over 25 years and have always been happy with the excellent service department and sales staff. Hawkins has always impressed me with their honesty and the lengths they will go to take care of us. We appreciate the loaner program as no other dealership or garage around has as advanced a system. Mr. Troy Sunken is our favorite sales person because he does his research and is very responsive to the questions we ask and finding the product we need. As an experienced business person I recognize quality and both Hawkins and Mr. Troy Sunken display all the earmarks of this most important quality. I give my highest marks to the Hawkins dealership.
