I was struggling to find the exact vehicle I wanted at dealerships near me. Luckily I found one at Palmen, so I called in to verify its availability. I spoke to Ryan Hilburger and he let me know it was available. We set up an appointment and once I got there, I immediately realized that Ryan was going to be easy to work with. He was completely transparent with me, regarding price, fees, etc. He also did a great job of working to get me the deal I needed to feel comfortable and purchasing so I was able to drive away in my new truck. I have had some awful experiences at dealerships in the past, so this was a refreshing change of pace. Thanks again Ryan.

My sales rep Danny did a great job of walking through the process and checking out some cars. I test drove a few of them and ended up getting a solid deal on a Ford Escape despite the prices of used cars right now. Car was in really good shape and everything they said on the website checked out. I would highly recommend Danny and Palmen if you're looking for a new vehicle.

I live about 45 mins away from this dealership close to the IL/WI border. I've heard of the dealership before coming in but the one who reminded me of them was my dad. I'm glad he did. Before coming here I went to two different dealerships closer to my home. The first was absolutely awful and the second was decent. As I drove here I thought "Well, third times a charm". Palmen Motors was definitely the charm!
I came in looking at this 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited and left with it! My salesman was Jeff Haines and he did an amazing job! I truly can not recommend him enough. I showed up at 1pm and by 4pm I was driving off the lot in my new car. Jeff was extremely kind, took his time with my mom and I, and made the entire experience lovely. I will gladly drive the few extra minutes if it means dealing with true honest people. I will always recommend Jeff and this dealership for anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. Thank you so so much again Jeff Haines and Palmen Motors!

If you are searching for a your next vehicle and happen to end up at Palmen, You need to ask for L.Y the car guy AKA Lynier. Talk about a great experience! I wish his customer service and support skills were everywhere I shopped at but then again, I'd be broke lol. His whole experience is just unmatched. Trust me, when I say ask for Lynier.

I went for an oil change there because where I had gone before, also not my regular place, told me they couldn't change it because plug for oil pan the threads were worn, so I thought go to the dealer for my Dodge Journey. Palmen also told me the same & I would need a new oil pan if they removed the plug, which would have been close to $600 for replacement. I said no thank you! I took it to my regular place & they with no problem removed the plug, changed the oil and installed a new plug! Palmen is only out to get your hard earned money!
