Reviews of Wegner Auto Company (Car Concessionaire)

Ken Potter

Fabulous customer service! With great teamwork, they helped me drive off the lot in a brand new pickup. Extremely satisfied customer!

Being a recent college graduate and transplant to Pierre, it was necessary for me to purchase a car on my own for the first time. On February 28th, 2014, I purchased a 2001 Saturn L300 with 87k miles for $4837 from Wegner. The following is a brief synopsis of the problems I have had not only with the car but the dealership and its questionable business ethics as a whole. I feel violated and angry that I was screwed over so thoroughly by Wegner. The car had a documented issue from the previous owner when Wegner acquired the car. The head gasket issue was identified by a mechanic at Beck Motors when the car was under the previous owner. I have a physical copy of the invoice that backs this up as a ‘known issue’. The problem was overlooked and not disclosed prior to the sale. It is the dealer’s responsibility to inspect every car they sell for major issues like this and to deal with them appropriately before the car is sold. It is unacceptable to me that a dealer missed such a major issue- intentional or not, both reveal their intentions as unprofessional, greasy, and predatory, pushing lemons they haven’t bothered to properly inspect on the population. The head gasket problem was not fixed as per an agreement reached by a manager, Don, and me when the problem was first dealt with in April. It was claimed by Wegner’s Service Department after repairs had been completed that the head gasket was not the problem, but something else. Because of this improper diagnosis, the car’s head gasket problem has recently resurfaced due to it not being properly dealt with in April. Repairs to this car to fix the known issue are worth more than the car itself, rendering an out-of-pocket payment by me financially unwise and impracticable. I am stuck making payments on a car that was already at death's door when I bought it, and currently only has salvage value. As a new resident to Pierre most of my time here has been filled with stress and anxiety over this situation. Also as a recent college grad and given my starting salary, my options here are limited by my financial capabilities. I will not risk purchasing another car from Wegner since this has been my experience so far. Therefore, because the Saturn was sold to me with a major known issue that was overlooked, and subsequent agreed upon repair work done by Wegner after I purchased it has failed to fix said issue, I expected Wegner to honor my request, which is that I receive a full refund of the purchase price of the car, to which I would reserve the right to spend at any dealership deserving of my business. This has proved unsuccessful and I’ve taken it upon myself to share my downright rotten experience with Wegner so others won't experience this.

Prices were good, but don't let them try and rope you into a high-priced loan. Come prepared with an offer from another bank, or you'll pay half the value of the car just in fees and interest doing one through them.

Blake was amazing. Gave use the right amount attention and selection with the appropriate amount of personal time to talk things over. Now I have an amazing ride.

They're the bomb!

Our family buys all of our vehicles from Wegner Auto and have done so for years. We have purchased four vehicles in the last two years because of the excellent customer service from the sales staff and from the technicians when our vehicles need service. Not only does my family go to Wegner Auto with our vehicle needs, but so does my brother, sister and even their adult children. Wegner Auto is the only place for our business! They take care of their customers and also contribute to the community in a number of ways.

Blake was very personable. Wish the used 3/4 ton and 1 ton inventory was a bit larger.

To anyone reading this Review.... Joshua, I saw your review and decided I needed to also post about this business. You can file complaints with the BBB(Better Business Bureau, FTC(Federal Trade Commission), UDAP which is the Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act and the UCC or Uniform Commercial Code Act. All of which I fully intend to do. I too had a bad experience with Wegner. I purchased a VW bug in May. I paid 1300 over book on it because the salesman wouldn't budge on the price (I WAS WARNED). Shame on me, I should have walked away then but lesson learned in many ways. I WAS WARNED by several people in this town to stay away from this dealership - so here is everyone's warning - STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP! Take heed in the warning "BUYER BEWARE" - I will NEVER, EVER, purchase another vehicle from this business and will not ever recommend them to another person. Buy your vehicle somewhere else. If you have had a bad experience with this business, get it posted, social media can do alot. Two weeks after I got the vehicle, I had a coolant light come on, an EPC light come on and a check engine light come on. After doing some inquiry, I was told that Wegner was very aware of the engine issues that this vehicle had prior to my purchase and they were never disclosed to me. Long story short, I paid out $1200.00 in repairs 30 days after purchasing this vehicle, it still has several other issues that I will half to pay for repairs in order to keep this vehicle running while I make payments. This vehicle should have never been put on the lot. I attempted to contact the salesman that sold me the vehicle to discuss the repair bill and to get compensated for the expense. He has never returned my phone call - IMAGINE THAT! I was told by several people in this town not to even bother trying to talk to the owners (I WAS WARNED) that I would not get anywhere with them. That's too bad - apparently taking care of the Customer is not part of their goals.

Wegner Auto is the place we have purchased our vehicles from for years. They have a great selection of vehicles but they really stand out in their customer service. Each employee is friendly, helpful and goes above and beyond to meet our needs, whether it be purchasing a vehicle, having work done in the body shop or service dept. they provide top quality service! I can't say enough positive things about our experiences at Wegners.

Great treatment

Bailey VanDenBerg

I chose Wegner Auto for my first big girl vehicle purchase after graduating from college and I would do it 100 times over with this company. They made the process so easy and helped me find a vehicle that they knew would fit me best. Each and every employee at Wegner’s would do anything to make customers happy and I would recommend buying from this dealership if you want a great experience and a reliable vehicle. Their dedication and hard work that is put into making sure customers are happy with their purchase is outstanding. Other dealerships should take notes from these guys!

Ellen Zeller

I always buy from Wegner Auto because of their great service and awesome sales staff. They have helped me tremendously when I have needed help with vehicles and are also the place for great vehicles. Pierre is lucky to have such a great business!

Stephen Heath

Would not help me find what I was looking for!

Megan Rolla

The team there is incredible! Super nice, and super friendly. They got me into a great vehicle that day, with a great deal might I add!

I went into the dealership not having a clue about my options to get out of a past lease with a different dealer, and into a new vehicle before winter. The only things I knew were what I didn't want and had limited idea as to what type of vehicle I desired or needed. Blake Paxton, Salesman, was so personable, knowledgeable, and responsive. He helped walk me through every step of the process patiently. The entire team at Wegner's made me discover that buying a vehicle can be a truly fun process and I so appreciate their customer service and for making me feel at ease. Lisa Etzkorn, Business Manager, was respectful, experienced, and understanding, exploring many different avenues with me as I reached my decision on vehicle and until we collectively reached the best option in financing for me. I had an amazing experience, the inventory and options that one has at this dealership cannot be matched. The rapport you will easily establish with the staff is next to none. Five stars Wegner Auto! Thank you.

I’ve had major auto repairs done in the service department as well as auto body work done at Wegner’s and I have always been given great service. They go that extra mile for the customer, that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Wally Bentley

A little over priced on used vehicles and the staff can be hard to track down when needed, but always been satisfied with vehicles I've purchased from them

Don Gordon is exceptional. Will always go through Wegners when I get my cars. He always makes you feel like a person and not a number. He is just very kind and genuine.

We bought a car here today and had a great experience! Everyone was really helpful and knowledgeable. We had our kids with which could have ended poorly but they had stuff for them to play with and it went great. We will definitely be buying our next car from here!

Jen Konechne

Wish I could comment on The auto buying at Wegner. After emailing and texting the the salesman what I was looking for he never call contacted me again. Guess they did not want to sell a vehicle too bad. Went to another dealership and within 5 hours had a pickup located and the deal was done. Not impressed

Dawn Nagel

I want to commend the entire staff on an exceptional job well done! I had my car detailed and my oil changed. It may sound simple enough but they went out of their way to treat me as a valued customer and did the BEST detailing job I have ever had done. My car looked NEW! Thank you to the wonderful staff and to the management and owners for taking such pride in your work. I recommend you highly and will never go elsewhere.
