Please review all screen shots for verification. They do this on every car they sell. My daughter found a 2024 Blazer EV RS listed on Autotrader for $26,990, with “Dealer Fees Included” for the doc and transit fees. She spent almost two hours at the dealership and was kept waiting several times as Dave tried to juggle 3 customers at once. When she asked for the out-the-door price, Dave said they “can’t honor” the Autotrader price. In finance, Alex presented $11,600 add-on products but would not tell her the interest rate or loan term. Federal: Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z (12 CFR 1026) and Minnesota: Minn. Stat. 168.71 (motor vehicle retail installment sales) require that. They wait until the very last legal moment to do so. My daughter called me into the situation. When I asked about the advertised price by phone, he gave the same answer, almost word for word. Their own website lists the same car for $28,293, which is $1,303 more than their Autotrader ad. Minnesota law prohibits misleading advertisements (Minn. Stat. 325F.67), and the Attorney General has sued dealers over deceptive sales tactics. You decide if you want to give them your business. I'm going elsewhere. Later, I spoke with Will, a sales manager who at one point described himself as the GM. He said this is not their process and threw Dave and Alex under the bus as not following process. I made an offer. He never called back. A salesperson called instead and offered $26,990, which is the price they advertised in the first place. They did this to cover their tracks legally. It was clear to me this was a sales strategy, not some rogue sales person. A dealer should honor its own advertised price without the customer having to escalate or employees lying about it. Know the price you’re responding to, get the out-the-door number and the APR in writing before you visit, and don’t let finance pitch add-ons before you’ve seen the rate. Open to modifying this review if someone of actual authority calls me to explain how they are updating their systematic sales tactics are being updated. In the meantime, I am escalating to Autotrader, AG and other escalation paths to save others from the same experience my daughter got.

Very efficient and informative. Let me pick what I wanted done. Told me what would be done before the work was started. Very efficient.

Quick and easy when buying new vehicle. Was a pleasure working with Dave Gill. Walked away happy.

Dave Gill was great to deal with. Very knowledgeable about the vehicle we purchased. Felt like we received a great deal. This is actually our second vehicle we have purchased on 6 months. We will definitely go back to purchase a vehicle when we are in the market again

David Jones was very easy to deal with and did everything he could to get the deal done

Harley Baumann is the best salesman in the Midwest. He's honest and works for you. Just be sure to tell him all about you and why you are buying a car and he will slip you into your favorite vehicle for you. He sells for Shakopee Chevrolet but that never occurs to you. If he can't do it in your interest he will tell you. I have the car I want thanks to Harley Baumann.

Dave G. at Shakopee Chev provided a guided car buyer experience. While listening to the type of car and options wr wanted, he provided insights and answers to questions. He ensured the test drives resulted in decisions and applied them to the car buying experience. At the time of pricing, he ensured that all incentives possible were researched and applied saving hundreds of dollars. He kept us up-to-date on the status of the new car. On delivery, he spent the time to explain the features of the car, including extras like OnStar and Sirius. Shakopee Chev, along with Dave and his team, promotes integrity, trust, and honesty.

Took care of all my needs. Parts/Labor comparable to the area. Was able to get service scheduled in a timely matter.

Thanks to Joe and Tom for the great service and smooth transaction. Highly recommended! Drove 6 hours. Worth the drive to get a great deal!

Daniel Del Merico was easy to work with and made the process of buying a new vehicle so easy! He worked hard to help me get exactly what I wanted. So happy with the team at Shakopee Chevrolet.
