Center Chrysler Dodge Jeep

The staff page has just been posted!  Drop by and read a bit about the fine folks at Center Garage that really make a difference!  Feel free to email any one of them with questions, concerns; perhaps if you've already purchased and still have a question, here's a great place to ask!

Due to the tremendous success of our Memorial Day Sales Event Cookout, we've decided that all through the summer we'll be cooking out every Saturday!  Be sure to schedule that test drive ahead of time, and enjoy the great food, great people, and great deals!

 
 Cedar Lake is growing in leaps and bounds.  So is Center Garage.  The dealership, which is located on 133rd Avenue, just off Rt. 41 received a new infusion of energy and ideas when Mark Fentress, of Schererville, and Leroy Scott, of Hebron, became partners with owner John Schutz.  Schutz's grandfather founded the dealership in 1925.
    Balloons dot the landscape highlighting vehicles of every make and model Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge, from fuel-efficient economy cars, truck, vans and the ever so fashionable, but fuel efficient sports.  The energy rolls off the staff, which treats each and every customer with care and courtesy.  Service is a top priority, whether it is for a new vehicle or for a returning customer. 
    "We are from NWI and are very familiar with the area.  Leroy and I had the opportunity to meet with John Schutz, who is the perfect definintion of a gentleman.  We took the opportunity to partner with him and things have really taken off for all of us.  We took this opportunity to grow and do something locally," explained Fentress.  "We live in this area and wanted to be a part of the community we live in.  This dealership is definitely a part of the community so it was a perfect fit," declared Scott.
    "We sold close to 150 cars last month.  We work really hard to buy vehicles below cost.  That way the consumer wins, and we get to earn and build a customer base for the future.  We have the ability to handle all our customer's needs from service and repair to finding either a new or certified used car for each and every customer.  We are [a] small dealership in a small community and that gives us the ability to keep costs down and stay involved with each and every customer.  As owners, the three of us have the opportunity to deal with each and every customer personally.  We are out front and can take care of the customers and make sure we have what they need," explained Fentress.
    "We offer exemplary service, which includes rental cars and courier shuttle service.  We are very accommodating and make sure we know what our customers need.  This dealership has had a very honorable tradition and reputation since it was founded, and we intend to be a part of that.  We do a big business with certified pre-owned vehicles that have a factory-backed warranty.  We can offer the same coverage as on the new cars.  This dealership offers value pricing, something that is exclusive to this store.  This partnership is not just about the sales, but it is also about making sure the customers are satisfied with the vehicles and the service," noted Scott.
    "We've installed a high tech car wash.  The wash is complementary with every service visit.  We also offer free oil changes for one year after the purchase of a vehicle.  Every Saturday an area restaurant comes in and we have a cookout for our customers.  We offer a totally familiar environment and treat everyone like family.  This dealership is built on family and community values.  We operate in a low pressure atmosphere," added Fentress.
