This is our family's favorite place to get cars. Mike is very professional. They are not competitive as one started the conversation on line and phone but was hand off sale to Mike to prevent our delay and so we would not have to wait. Will shop here again.

Had a very good buying experience here. Sales rep was reasonable and down to earth, price was fair and got fairer without having to fight over it. They offer a nice, included lifetime limited warranty on many of their vehicles and don't have any of the silly 'fees' that many dealers in other places might. You pay the listed price. Shout out to Gary.

Customer Testimonials for Kalona Auto Used Cars & Trucks

Testimonial Photo

Tony H. - 2016 Honda Odyssey

We purchased a car in 2018 and just recently in 2023 from Gary and both purchases have been smooth and easy! Gary was helpful from the process of test driving to taking care of anything that came up after the sale! They have competitive pricing on their vehicles but I believe you get unmatched customer service and that is really important to us!

Julie T. - 2020 Nissan Armada

Gary Bontrager is a WONDERFUL salesman. He’s very upfront and honest, and didn’t push the sale. I had called ahead to test drive an SUV after I had gotten off work, and to my surprise it was pulled up front and running so it was nice and warm for me when I arrived. Great experience from start to finish. Gary is all about the little details and going out of his way to ensure the customer is happy!

Heather D. - 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan

I bought my van from Kalona Auto and I have never experienced a better car buying process anywhere else, they are the best in the area, by far. They are friendly, honest, and not pushy which is exactly what I want in a car salesperson.

Kalona Auto is a small dealership. If you are interested in one of their vehicles it would be best to call and make an appointment to make sure someone is there. I love the way they do business- they have a price sheet for everything on their lot-no question as to the make, miles and price. There is no pressure to make a sale they are there when you need them and they leave you alone otherwise. I highly recommend them-we will go back again!

Paul - 14 RAM 2500

I contacted the business by email and received a response quickly from Gary Bontrager, he was professional. We continued to exchange informative messages and phone calls. I agreed to make a deposit for purchase. Being from a distance away (1760 miles) I wanted an independent inspection. Gary was very agreeable to this. The inspection was informative and exposed some mechanical concerns (engine problems), Gary was very open about the problems and informed me they would make them right at their expense and I could either continue the purchase or I could back out of the agreement. He kept me informed on the timing and details of the services performed. He found a way to get the truck delivered at a reasonable expense. There have been a couple of issued developed after delivery and he offered to pay for parts purchased, he did not leave me hanging. I would recommend this business and this sales staff if you are looking for a vehicle. Professional, honest, and helpful staff.

Nikole - 14 Chrysler Town & Country

Bought my Chrysler Town and country here 5 years ago. Haven't had any problems til just before my 5 year extended warranty was almost up, they helped me get the warranty I paid for and used it to replace the engine. Took a little time to get the work done, but they did give me a loaner car to use during that time. Great service!

Erika & Nicholas - 2016 Honda CR-V

Even after test driving at larger dealers with more inventory options, we still found that Kalona Auto offered competitive, quality options and a much more personal touch! We appreciated the transparency of sales staff as we discussed pricing and trade-in. Thank you, Julie, Gary & Mike!

I’ve bought and traded in three cars with them. Always fair on trade ins, no pressure sales and easy to work with.

Sarah - 2017 Nissan Rogue

I'm very pleased with my experience at Kalona Auto. They happened to have the car I wanted and I requested to have it delivered cross-country. Gary contacted me and explained how this would work. My sister had shopped at their lot in the past and felt like it would be a good place to buy from. Gary showed me the vehicle over Facetime and arranged to have it delivered. The only delays were due to current delays at the post office! I had to trust Gary with the condition of the car (and the smell, which I was worried about). I received my car last week and am very pleased. It's in great condition and very clean. They made it easy (especially during the pandemic!) and were easy to work with. I would purchase from them again.
