    May 26, 2020

    Pete & Doug at Shield's Paxton store made buying this '16 F150 a quick simple pleasure. They were easy to deal with and did not play the usual games that... car dealers seem bound to subject a buyer to. They were honest and I think gave me the best deal possible. I look forward to a good relationship with them, and would reccomend them to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle!!!

    Shields automart was a pleasure to deal with, I bought a car from them online from 600 miles away. The car was exactly what they said it was. No pressure... , no lies , just nice people to deal with. I would drive another 600 miles one way for that service. Rich Heinz was aces. Took the time to explain everything. I wood recomend him. Thank you Pete, rich, and Karen for helping us get what we wanted.

    This was our third purchase from Shields in Paxton. Each time we have dealt with Pete Klein and Rich Heinz. Both of them are great to work with and Rich... took all of the time we needed to go over the truck's features and personalize the settings. Thanks, guys!!

    We are extremely pleased with the way that we were treated by our sales person, Kyle Smith. Kyle was friendly, knowledgeable, and down to earth. He is... what we refer to as "good people". Pete Klein was also outstanding. Very personable and he gave us a great deal on the vehicle that we purchased.
