Ty has helped us find 2 fabulous vehicles and Karen was incredible with paperwork! What a great team they have in Forest Lake. They made everything easy and quick! I love how they are so friendly and want to help even after you leave the lot.
Wonderful experience! Shawn with sales did a great job explaining the process and educating us on our new purchase and options for purchasing and made it a quick and efficient. Financing was superb! Every stepof the process was painless. Highly recommend and will be returning again!
It was a very professional experienceI initially drove up to set up appointmentGirl at service bay desk gave me a card with a number to call to set up appointmentI thought. Why can’t we do that hereIt doesn’t work that way call the numberI did when I get homeVery friendly on the phone and helpfulSchedule person said you can go up know if you likeReally I was just there and was told to go home and callAnyway went up today all the people I dealt with were greatGirl I talked to yesterday wouldn’t even look at me. What did I do to her?Truck was repaired wellService writer was awsome and helpfulI will definitely use you service in the future
We are extremely satisfied with our experience at Forest Lake Chev. Clem (our salesman) and Jason (finance manager) were wonderful to work with! We waited a long time to get our vehicle and the communication with Clem on the status of our order was fantastic, we was very responsive. Forest Lake is not close to us but we are willing to travel the distance to continue working with them in the future for servicing our vehicle. Thanks Forest Lake Chevy!
Awesome! Mike was there when I got out of my car and returned my car clean and shiny! And fixed! He thoroughly explained what I needed and the cost. The whole process was fast and friendly. Michael is an asset to your dealership! He is now my “go to” car guy. I will definitely see him for any future car issues.
Great customer service! Clem was very knowledgeable and responsive to the multiple questions we had! Karen from their finance department went above expectations and was very great to work with! Overall, it was an excellent experience and we would happily use Forest Lake Chevrolet again.
My experience buying the car here was incredibly positive. Joe in particular went so far above and beyond, that I remain a bit humbled. The questions were answered concisely, and we found vehicles that fit my needs. Working with Karen and Joe was a pleasure and Id do it again in a heartbeat.
I gave them three out of five stars. The service and everything was great my only issue was that it took three days for them to even look into the car to see what was going on. This was an inconvenience to me because I didn’t have a car for work. I’m sure they were just busy or short a person. Everything else was A plus. I would give the review a five if they would’ve looked into my car the day my car got towed to the dealership. I was sitting there waiting and waiting to hear back from them and in the meantime I could’ve rented out a vehicle. I hope in the future they get more people to service hybrid cars. The customer service people were very friendly and helped out. This place is a great place to go to you you just have to wait otherwise it would’ve been five stars.
We worked with Tyler Schwinn and he went above and beyond! He included a hat for my husband and a 20 oz chevy tumbler for me in the sale. And then surprised us with 2 new chevy heavy duty floor mats for the driver side and the front passenger side since he noticed one of the factory mats was missing. He also made sure we had a full tank of gas to get back home with since we had a 2 hour drive ahead of us. He was great to chat with even though it was a very long day with them being short staffed with their financing department and even offered us drinks and a sandwich from Jimmy Johns. This dealership is well worth going to and will be returning in the future.
Awesome people working at this dealership. They go the extra mile for you. Ive bought four vehicles there and any future purchases will be through them .
The seller was very nice and and helpful it’s MandieAlso, Karen explain everything I want to knowThank you forest lake Chevrolet
My husband I were browsing the car lot in regards to purchasing a truck. Tyler with Chevrolet was so respectful, and extremely helpful with all of our questions and concerns. If you are looking for a new vehicle not only would we recommend Forest Lake Chevrolet, we recommend that you ask for Tyler specifically. If you want to avoid a typical salesman trying to sell a lemon, ask for Tyler. He will give you real answers not just feed you what you want to hear to make a sale.Thank you so much for a smooth and easy truck buying experience Tyler. This can be so stressful, but your wit and humor helped ease the pain on our family. We could not be happier with our purchase and its because of you!
Just had a simple flat tire. Came in and got handled by Mercedes. She explained the options and promptly called when my car was done. Great Job...Mercedes
Took my 17 Tahoe in for transmission service. More specifically, a shudder stemming from the TCM system. Mike in the service dept. was quick to diagnose the issue (even ate the cost of the diagnostics) and had me out the door with the flush/fix I needed inside of 3 hours. Highly recommend for Chevy service in Forest Lake or if you’re passing through town.
Hands down, Shawn Jacobs and Karen Garcia are two of the best people to work with! They were so helpful and you could tell they were genuinely looking out for us in making this big purchase. Karen was able to point out some things our previous dealer kind of screwed us on with our service warranty and she gave us some great nightmare stories to teach us why things like GAP insurance is so important. Shawn also hooked us up with taking care of some cosmetic things we wanted to add as well as getting us a trade in value that were happy with. All around, had a wonderful time working with this crew. Drove off the lot with a beautiful big ol truck, same day, and couldnt be happier. Would love to work with them again!
Thank you Mandie, youre amazing! Made my experience with Forest Lake Chevrolet the BEST.Thank you Mary & Chris for the exceptional service.
Michael was great to work with from beginning to end while purchasing our vehicle. He, Manny and Chris made our experience one of the best that we have had in quite some time over the years of buying and trading. Thank you both for such a wonderful experience!
Tyler Schwinn, our sales representative, was excellent to work with, as we selected our new vehicle. He was pleasant, patient, and focused on meeting our needs. Tyler did a great job of helping us set up and understand the new vehicles myriad technological features, as well. Pricing was fair, as was the valuation of our trade-in vehicle. The business manager made the financing process a breeze and the service technicians completed some upgrades we selected competently and quickly. We were very impressed with this dealership and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a new vehicle.
Very friendly staff. Jake made it simple to walk in for a test drive and get financing approval prior to test drive. Took minutes to sign and drive away!! Would recommend and will be doing future purchases from Forest Lake Chevrolet!! Thanks Everyone!!
I am so pleased with Mandie and Lexie, I came in looking just to look and they gave me all the information so I could make a smart buying decision. I came back this morning and Im driving out with a new truck. They are awesome. Thanks Karen in the finance Department you were a gem!
Tyler is a great guy. Not pushy, just right. Great information on options. Responsive to questions. Plus, hes a car guy so knows what hes talking about.
Buying a car is so stressful but I had such a pleasant time here. I worked with Ryan and Karen, they made the experience so nice and easy. They were very nice and very professional. I would recommend anyone I know to go here. Thank you guys for making this experience not stressful!
Ryan in sales was exceptional to work with, made the process of buying a vehicle from him a great experience.
I had looked EVERYWHERE for a place that would cut my Chevy Equinox’s key fob and no one could do it! I finally got into contact with the Forest Lake Chevrolet Cadillac and their service was amazing! As a guest who knows pretty much nothing about cars, Aaron was immensely patient and fun as he helped me through the process and made me feel very welcome. Not only that, but he even took the time to come out and set up the new fob so it was calibrated to my Equinox free of charge! I highly recommend this dealership to anyone and will definitely be going back again for any future problems!
I was driving through the area and I was having problems with my truck pairing to my phone. So I pulled into the parking lot. I met Mandie DesChamp and even though I wasn’t buying anything she said she could help me figure it out. She took the time to pair my phone and explain what my truck could do for me. Wow! I never expected a full tutorial on my truck. I didn’t know my truck had these capabilities. When it is the right time for me to buy a new truck I have Mandie on speed dial. You can tell she loves her job and loves helping people. Thanks Mandie!
Work was completed in a timely manner Austin did a great job informing me of work done
My salesman Tyler and finance manager Karen were top notch. Quick and easy sale. You won’t find a better deal. Great people to work with. I highly recommend forest lake Chevrolet!
Wow! Very impressed. Third car weve bought! Ask for Clem, ALWAYS a great guy! So the salesman part has NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM. In our past experience finance part has taken awhile, NOT ANYMORE! JASON infinance WAS PHENOMENAL!!! He was quick, thorough, answered all my questions, and hilarious, a super awesome guy! He made financing so fun which usually is my least favorite part of buying a car, but this time the whole EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING! Thank you guys soooo much!
Clem & Karen were very friendly and knowledgeable. We were looking for a truck and Clem showed us exactly what we were looking for and we now have beautiful new vehicle. Thank you! Highly recommend this business!
I went in for an oil change and tire rotation. I had another place tell me I needed a flush and number of other things done. Chevy checked everything and all I needed was new brakes and possibly rotors done. The other business never mentioned my brakes needed replacement and Chevy didnt push for me to do it there. The employees were super friendly and informative. Would definitely go back to them again.
When I called for my appointment I had somebody actually pick up a phone and not a computer how refreshing!!!!The appointment was made for the next day I drop it off that night and had told them they could have the vehicle all day.I was surprised when they called me at 9 AM and said my truck was ready to be picked up.When I went to pick up my truck I was met buy the receptionist as I entered the showroom floor.She asked if she could help me, I told her I was here to pick up my truck from getting serviced.She did not just point in the direction where the service department was she took the time to walk me back to the service department.The service consultant was quick to get all my paperwork and have my truck delivered to the service bay . He explained what they did and if I had any question?When the truck arrived I wasn’t surprised that it was washed on the outside they usually do that.I’m pretty particular with my vehicles and when I drop it off I did not have time to vacuum or clean the mats.I was surprised and impressed that my mats were spotless and I could tell that they vacuumed.I will continue to use Forest Lake Chevrolet weather I am buying a vehicle or having them service it.Thanks for the great experience
I had shopped around at other Chevrolet dealers looking for a new Equinox and having no luck. Once your salesperson(Ryan Mickelson) was contacted our worries were resolved.Plus he was very friendly, understanding, caring, and patient. I will recommend others to come to your dealership any day !!!!
Recently purchased a 2017 KIA Forte from this dealership. Tyler Schwinn was our sales agent and was very personable,knowledgeable and professional. And Karen Garcia handled the financing in regards to the purchase. She was also very polite and professional. Would definitely recommend this dealership if your looking to purchase a new or used vehicle.
I called and rescheduled my service appointment the lady on the phone told me 3 oclock I get to the service department and they tell me they cant do any service after 3 oclock. After going back and forth they finally took my truck to get an oil change and tire rotation. I asked them if they can rotate and balance my tires they never got back to me on the balance part. I also asked them several times to check and put air in my tires. I stated that on my dash it says low tire pressure and that if they need to change the air valves on my tires to go ahead. They never checked the tire pressure or put air in my tires. To top everything of this was my first time going to Forest Lake Chevrolet dealership for service on my truck, they came and got me out the waiting room and said that my vehicle is ready yet but they figure I could pay for it to get me out of there faster. So I went and paid for the service when Im walking out towards my truck I noticed they put my truck through a car wash which i was never informed they were going to do I had my truck wash and hand dried the day before. I had a brand new in box $450+ grill I just bought, a Stihl backpack leave blower, climbing harness and ropes, Nike air force one shoes and other stuff in the back of the bed of my truck that got ruined and all wet. Very disappointing, unsatisfied and completely unhappy with the whole service from the start to the end. Also called to speak to manager about issues they didnt answer I left a voice mail and havent heard anything back.
Great experience with our Chevy High Country. Sales, Finance, and Service were fantastic. Don is great to work with and highly recommended if your looking for a vehicle in the Forest Lake area.
Clem and all the staff were great to work with. We had good communication early on via text as we waited for our vehicle to arrive. Thanks!
Mercedies was very professional....she knows her job very well.thx Mercedies
This service team is amazing! Two weeks ago, Stillwater Chevrolet told me I was wrong, my suspension was fine. I brought my Colorado here, within hours told me my front shocks were shot, had them replaced the next day. Truck rides like new. Love these guys!
I was very well taken care of.Great people to do business with, very happy with my experience.Thanks guys
I had Mike as my service advisor. I thought my experience was great here due to him!I brought my car in because my key had gotten stuck in my ignition. During the diagnosis the service tech found a few other things wrong with my car. Mike was phenomenal about calling me with updates and explaining everything I needed to know! I haven’t met too many other advisers who would have given me the same treatment. I will definitely be going out of my way to come back to this dealership!
Dan in the service department was excellent, great customer service and great at explaining things to me. I appreciated that a lot. Loved the video that was sent to my phone from the mechanic. My Salesman Don Carlson set my appt up he’s the greatest
Cars by Mandie and Lexie were super helpful! I felt that they really listened to our needs, and even stayed past business hours to make certain that my husband understood how to work his new truck. Thanks ladies. MC
Great service went in to take care of 1 recall, then they found out there were more. They asked me if I had a little more time. I said sure and they took care of everything right away saving me another trip. Very pleased with the service I received.
Outstanding sales team and finance.No pressure, smooth process from beginning to end.
Clem, Manny & Kathy we’re all wonderful to work with however, Frank carried the day. Frank’s attentive nature throughout the sales process was unparalleled. Highly recommend FL Chev. We are repeat customers and will come back again.
Tyler and Jason were amazing to work with. They were friendly, personable and quick. I recommend buying your next vehicle from Forest Lake Chevrolet Cadillac if your looking for a great price and a great sales team.
Had an awesome experience with the great team at forest lake Chevrolet! Fast and easy to get a new truck. Ty was a great salesman who was patient and knew exactly what was looking for and was easy to make conversation with. Zach the manager, was able to work out deals that were right in my price range. All of the workers at the forest lake team were more than i could ask for! Would recommend to everybody.
Absolutely incredible experience and service! I felt like the whole team was listening to my concerns even answering questions that are out of their scope of work so that I can find solutions to my car situation. Thank you all!
I have NEVER had a car buying experience quiet like this one. I was searching on car soup for months for my perfect vehicle and stumbled across what appeared to look like a great deal. I hit “Im interested” filled out the info needed and Mandie messaged me very quickly. I am 250 miles from this dealership and they went above and beyond to have 98% of the paperwork ready for me by the time I got there. Once I arrived, Mandie and I took the vehicle out for a test drive. When we returned to the dealership Mandie sat in the vehicle with me and went over ALL the bells and whistles and got all settings set to my preferences! Wow! I had never had any dealership do that for me before, and Im a car junkie with a serious trading habit. Jason in financing was so easy-going and easy to talk to there wasnt any of that awkward silence or need to force a conversation. THEN Mandie took me to the gas station and filled the tank!! They definitely take care of their clients! I highly recommend this dealership!
Had another excellent experience with Karen Garcia and Clem Schiele. I have been working with Karen for over 15 years and is the reason I made the switch to a Chevy truck.She introduced us to Clem and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They teamed up to find the right truck for my family and I and worked out trading in my Dodge Ram truck.We love the new truck and couldn’t be more happy about the services provided by them both!
Purchased a new Tahoe and Jake made the sales process simple and straightforward. Karen in the business office had us in and out in no time. Great people and great dealership!
Very helpful, work got done quick.
Always friendly staff, clean waiting area, easy and quick check in. Good quality service on my car.
It was a great experience. Tyler Schwinn and Jason in Finance were great to work with. They made the whole experience fun. I would definitely recommend and would purchase from them again.
Mandie was so great! Very responsive and very informative. They gave many financing options and we loved the car and deal we got. Made it very easy for us. Thanks to FLAG!!
I called at 3, they were able to get me in at 3:15, on a Friday. I was in and out and the service was excellent.
Great truck buying experience with Clem on the sales team and Karen in finance. They know their business and were willing to explain every decision in terms we could understand. Thanks Karen and Clem!
There aren’t enough words to express how awesome this team is! Have now purchased two vehicles from here and it’s been nothing but amazing! From the time you walk in to the time you leave there is always someone to help you through such a huge process in life! Shawn and Chris do a tremendous job to make sure you are getting exactly what you need! Huge shout out to both of them for helping my family make huge moves! You guys are doing great! 😁
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff, Nick Schlemmer did everything in his power to make the buying process as smooth as possible
Nick Schlemmer was fantastic, patient, and very helpful!!
Mike provided great customer service. Explained things in great detail, and provided me with several options to best fit my needs
Had an absolutely amazing first experience buying my DREAM vehicle from Jennifer Wagner in sales! Accommodation was 100%, communication was 100%, and honest answers were 100%. Thank you so, so much for helping me with everything and anything! I will forever remember this day as a huge milestone in my life!
Ty and Chris were so awesome to work with. I traveled to MN to purchase my trailblazer and they had me in and out within 10 minutes. Chris had everything ready for me to sign while Ty had the vehicle ready to show me the specs and set my android auto with GPS to get home. Very good service and very friendly. Dealership was easy to find and easy to access from the highway. Will definitely purchase from again.
Ryan was absolutely fantastic to work with! He listened to my questions and made my buying process comfortable.
I was nervous about purchasing a newer vehicle but my sales team Mandie & Lexie Stulz made it easy, also thank you to Karen Garcia for the finance help. Highly recommend these people if your in the market
Took my suv in for a recall notice. The employees were pleasant and kept me inform.
My engine light on for 3days. Took it in to evaluate. Very timely service! Explained that I could not use the E 88 gas . The alcohol level was too high! I was told to run the gas out and fill with regular. Very informative person . Michael Good service!
The service department is AWSOME! They helped me out by getting my vehicle from work, to the shop, and back. They made the service convenient, quick, and no trouble at all! Thanks to everyone, both Dan and Kelly
The Forest Lake Automotive Group was was friendly, BUT there extended warranty prices were WAY to high!!! Average working citizens can’t afford a nearly $5,000 cost to warranty Chevrolets products for 8 years with a $100 deductible. Get real! Chevy needs to be realistic with there cost structure or I will never buy another Chevy product again.
I worked with George! Very friendly and honest place. Highly recommend buying a vehicle from this dealership as they are honestly here to help you not just take your money. Overall Excellent experience!! Definitely will be telling friends and family about Forest Lake Chev. And make sure to ask for George with all your automotive needs!
Mercedes was VERY helpful to me! All went well for our oil change and checking our side markers.
The service department was great to deal with, but I would never buy or tell anyone to buy a vehicle from Shawn Jacobs because he tells you one thing but ends up being not true. He tells you whatever you want to hear just to get you to buy a vehicle from him.
My wife and I walked in with an interest but not the expectation to leave with a car. However, Ty was able to simply listen to our needs and present a perfect option we couldn’t pass up. Everything was so smooth, easy, and overall quite pleasant. Highly recommend working with Ty, Karen, and the rest of their team.
Kind, friendly service with timely updates on progress. The repair was to a leak in an oil cooling line, which also required oil pump replacement. Since I was there, I was hesitant to mention the transmission shudder on my 2017 Colorado Z71. All repairs were completed and 100% covered by the 60,000 mile drive train warranty! 3 months and over 3,000 miles later, all is still good! Free loaner vehicle was an appreciated bonus!Thank you Forest Lake Chevrolet Cadillac!
From my first visit to the dealership and the help I received help from Clem regarding the build of the Camaro and when the car came into Forest Lake Chevrolet all things went smooth and seamless. Clem is very knowledgable when showing functions on the car and the service department was great because they helped me install the front license plate bracketthe following day. Great experience overall.
We have purchased 4 vehicles through Forest Lake Chev now. Everyone has been friendly and helpful to make the car buying experience a great one! Go see Ty and ask Chris to do your financing! They are the best.
I Just Want To Thank You Guys So Much For EVERYTHING You’ve Guys Helped Me With. Karen And Jake I Love Y’all. From One Heart To Another You Both Made Me Comfortable And Happy To Make The Decision I Made With My Car Choice. I’m Soooooo Happy🥰🥰🙏🏾
The people at Forest Lake Chevrolet were just great. All the way from sales to finance and installation. It all was a 5 Star experience! Thanks
Usually goes well, this time I said there is a problem with the brakes and has been since the rear ones were replaced at 85K miles, a slight chatter when applied. They checked both front and rear and found nothing wrong. I drove it home and still felt the chatter.
Loved the new text updates and responses. They were also able to get my intermittent issue to act up and so were able to fix it.
Everyone we encountered was personable and professional. We will definitely be back when its time to buy again!
It was ok. When I came into the doors. There was 10 people in there and only one guy acknowledged me. However he wasn’t the one who was going to check me in. So I moved 2 times to the correct desk. The lady who checked me in was ok. She wasn’t super friendly. She of course immediately tried to up-sell my visit. I was already going to be there for awhile so I declined. The wait was about 40 minutes longer then they said. The cashier asked how I wanted to pay and when I said cash she said oh and then sat there. I said do you want a card instead. She said yes that would be easier. When I left the guys left the number on my keys and in my window. I hate having to throw all that away. Also my seat and mirrors were moved as well as some buttons. They also dimmed my inside lights all the way. Super annoying.I feel as if when they did the inspection they didn’t really check off items. I have had my truck for 4 years and everything was in the green. Seems fishy considering my tires are in the yellow as well as a few other things. I went here because I had a recall but most likely won’t be back.
They were quick and efficient. Great service and friendly staff rounded out the experience. Ill be using them again for all my Cadillac service.
Shawn Jacobson was an absolute professional during the whole process! Hands down the best salesman I have ever worked with! We will be back again! Thanks Shawn!😀
The staff had me checked in and got my truck going right away. The facility was impressively clean and organized. This is the best Chevy service center I have been to without question.
I have a 2016 CPO Chevy Colorado that I purchased last September. My front suspension started performing poorly 3 months ago, I brought it to Stillwater Chevy for service and was told by 2 technicians and a shop foreman that nothing was wrong and no repair was done. I brought it to Forest Lake Chevy, and within hours they told me the shocks were bad and needed replacement, they did the warranty work and truck rides beautifully. Very satisfied with Forest Lake Chevy! And very disappointed with Stillwater Chevy, not sure if its incompetence or laziness, but thank God for the amazing service at Forest Lake Chev!
Recently purchased a Chevy Cruze. Clem was wonderful to work with! He’s friendly and knowledgeable. All around it was a great experience!!
Friendly, professional and informative if you choose to ask questions.
Ty was an amazing Sales Rep. No high pressure pitch and very accommodating and personal. Our vehicle that we wanted had sold but he suggested a few options and it turned out great!! Would highly recommend him and hopefully he is there on our next buy. Karen in finance was outstanding!! She went above and beyond to get us the best financing available. She even called us the next day to give us a much better rate which was beyond anything we would have expected. She was very personable and a great sense of humor which really eases the awkward signing process.
Asked that tire pressure be left alone and they adjusted them anyway. I had to spend time getting them back to where I want them.Ball joints on both sides were not greased. Didnt crawl under yet to see if any other grease fittings were missed.
Great to work with. sales guy had answers for all my questions. fair offer on my trade in.
Buyers Beware: This business will not honor your lifetime warranty - Do not purchase it or trust them to follow through on what they are offering.My dad purchased a truck a few years back, then passed away suddenly. I had no need for a truck, so I sold it with the understanding that I would get a pro-rated refund (thousands of $) for the warranty. I drove 45 minutes out to this dealership and submitted all of the necessary paperwork, including scans of my father’s death certificate, my ID, vehicle registration, proof of sale, and other private information. I was told that it would take up to 5 weeks for the refund to be processed and a check to be cut. However, It has been nearly a year and we have received nothing. I have followed up multiple times with staff at this location and they said they have no record of me ever submitting this paperwork. Now they have asked for all of my confidential information AGAIN, including my mother’s marriage certificate (even though at the time of his death, they had been divorced for several years) and I am the executor of his estate. This time around, they also didn’t correctly fill out the paperwork and sent the check to my deceased father’s home, which obviously he doesn’t live at and I explicitly stated where the check should go and provided all the documents necessary to prove this case.Extremely disappointed in how they have managed to drag their feet for a full year to give us what we are owed. Either the staff are incompetent and cannot submit basic paperwork, or they’re intentionally causing delays in order to not fulfill their requirements offered through the lifetime warranty.
My appointment was first class From the start. Everyone was very friendly and kept me informed throughout my repair. I would recommend this dealership for purchase of a vehicle or just for service repairs. Very professional!!!
I was skeptical to use forest lake Chevrolet at first. I had a previous experience years prior that was not positive. After I decided to give them another shot I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with Michael Barth. Mr Barth was great and genuine. He said he would take care of me and he did. He was not high pressure or pushy! I would highly recommend Mr Barth.
Found the car that we were looking for and the friendly, courteous staff did everything possible to make sure that we were able to drive away with it at the price we were happy with. Overall, very pleased with our experience 👍👍
Great service. Oil change and tire rotation and ended up with 4 new tires.
Awesome service and the running boards and tono cover turned out great and the inside of the truck was spotless thank you!!
Thank you forest lake chevrolet. They were able to make arrangements and accommodate my long bed truck that has air bag suspension. I will be a repeat customer because of their prompt care for the customer.
Pleasant, polite, everything done right in a reasonable amount of time...
