I recently bought a preowned car from Wickstrom Dodge
I recently bought a preowned car from Wickstrom Dodge Jeep Ram, and I could not be happier with the experience! I was completely new to the car buying process, but everyone there made it smooth and stress-free. The staff was knowledgeable, honest, and extremely helpful every step of the way. I got a great deal on my car and felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend Wickstrom to anyone looking for a solid vehicle and top notch service!

Although we didn't purchase a car during our visit, we would recommend that anyone visits the dealer for a great experience.
