Katera did an amazing job for us. The loan application process was smooth and painless. We got a better truck than we thought we would for less than we thought we would have to pay.

Bought a great truck from Chuck at the Waverly store. He was a pleasure to work with and gave no pressure during the sale! I would recommend anyone to give him a call!

This is a fantastic dealership to work with no pressure sales. I recommend them to anyone and everyone. I traveled 5 1/2 hours for the purchase of my Chevy Silverado.

After searching online for a vehicle, I found the best value at Dale Howard. So good that I traveled from WI to purchase it. Salesperson Bill Glenn and Dylan in Finance had everything prepared for a quick and seamless purchase after my long travel to the dealership. Very pleased with every step.

We had a wonderful experience working with Katera! She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire car-buying process smooth and stress-free. She took the time to answer all our questions and never made us feel pressured. We truly appreciated her honesty and professionalism and would highly recommend asking for Katera if you’re looking for a vehicle!

We were looking for a heavy duty truck to tow our 5th wheel. Chuck went above and beyond to locate the right truck for us. We drove from Wisconsin and got the deal done. Great place to shop and great customer service!

Chuck was amazing. He helped me get my new dodge ram 2500. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. I would 10/10 recommend getting a vehicle through them. Chuck and Dylan made buying my truck quick and easy. The staff were great. Anyone looking for a new vehicle I would go here. I’m going to go back to get my husband’s truck.

We had a great experience with Katera today. Our experience began when we first contacted the dealership about a car and she responded and answered our questions and set up an appointment with us. She was knowledgeable about the car and went above and beyond at helping us in getting everything synced up with both the car we bought and the car we currently own. Thank you again for your all your assistance.

Dale Howard worked diligently to chase down the source of my vehicle electrical problem. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 was I would have liked better updates on my vehicle repair.
