General Benefits

CONVENIENCE Total vehicle services including maintenance, management and acquisition, all with one company that handles everything.

CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMS including advanced software programs to track and remind you about every step from on-time registration to renewal, insurance, maintenance and more.

SERVICE  The kind that only a company that truly believes in service can deliver, not just talk about. Service that goes far, far beyond the delivery of the new vehicle...from delivery to renewal and everything in between.

FLEET PRICING
on a cost-plus basis to provide consistent, reliable prices and take the "guesswork" out of price-comparison shopping. And further savings by taking advantage of our Commercial Fleet buying power and factory fleet incentives. Extensive bank relationships provide further assurance of highly competitive bank rates via special financing programs for the religious community. And all this information gets processed through our new computer programs - similar to a travel agent's system - to make sure you get the best pricing.

FULL BENEFITS
of our services and maintenance even if your vehicle(s) were purchased or leased elsewhere (as long as you are part of an organization within our fleet program).

LEASE AND FINANCE
programs to fit your budget and the way your vehicle(s) are used to help make them more affordable.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
  We assist you in handling all types of warranty claims. If you'd like the further comfort of extended warranty coverage, we'll arrange for that as well. Warranty service or normal maintenance we do it or get it done for you.

USED VEHICLE DISPOSAL  Instead of group selling at auction, we look at every used car individually and work to get the best resale price attainable.

RENTAL AND SHORT TERM LEASES  Whether you are traveling on business for a few days, or need a summer or winter leasing plan for a few months, they're all available anywhere in the country and at our special, low fleet rates.

CELLULAR PHONE PLAN
A cellular phone can be included in the purchase or lease of your new vehicle.

Benefits for Milwaukee Area Customers

PERSONAL VEHICLE SERVICING at our Milwaukee Service Center, with real, money-saving discounts on both parts and labor.

RELIABLE, EXPERT SERVICE WORK
by quality technicians and supervised by our ASE Certified Service Manager, with us since 1981.

PICK-UP AND DROP OFF SERVICE
when you don't have the time to bring your vehicle in and wait.

UNLIMITED SELECTION
of all types of vehicles from us, new or used, (including multi-passenger vehicles, sport utilities, vans, buses etc.) saves time and energy finding the right vehicle. Because we do not sell or lease a specific brand only, we have no product bias. We can help you select the best product for your needs because our loyalty is to you, not the car maker.

"FIRST HAND" USED CARS
  Most of them are our own off-lease vehicles that we know "First Hand."  Since we purchased them new for lease - and serviced them - we know them well, including their service history. And that adds up to complete peace of mind for you, and substantial savings, when you purchase or lease one of our used cars.

COMPREHENSIVE TRADE-IN PLAN
Your existing vehicle can be used as a trade-in or we will purchase it from you at a very favorable "market" price or sell it through our Re-Marketing Department.

REMINDER COUPONS
  All vehicles serviced at our Milwaukee Service Department will be sent an oil service reminder based on appropriate mileage or time intervals.

LOANER VEHICLES
- with a reservation - while yours is in our shop overnight and you need a car during the servicing time.
