Wernet Enterprises - Business details inactive - Car Dealers Near Me - Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota

We purchased an Acura MDX from this dealership in 2021. Less than two months after purchase the oil light went on. No visible oil leak but this car was clearly burning oil. Reached out to the dealership who was of zero help- it was our problem. We would never buy anything from this dealership again. Buyers beware. read more

I really like this car dealership. The cars they have are excellent quality and they do not sell junk. Their goal is to have you as a long term customer. They have been very good to me and I have developed a great working relationship with both Nick and Tom Wernet. This is a family business and it is devoid of the typical "run around" that you get from big dealerships. I mentioned to them the year and make of the car that interested me. It was almost a year later that they called me to tell me about a car they had found in Arizona. I loved the car and purchased it on the spot. They meticulously prepped the car for sale. When I picked it up I was pleasantly surprised. The car has been great. These men are "straight shooters" and they are not trying to convince you to buy anything. They specialize in LEXUS because of the quality and reputation of the brand. I will gladly purchase from them again. Don't be afraid to look at their inventory. If you know what you like they can and will find it for you. I feel fortunate to have found them. read more

This review is not based on my experience as a paying customer, but as my experience that lead me to spend my dollars elsewhere. I drive an older vehicle, that has a loud exhaust, and I am in my mid 20's and look it. Tom Wernet (the owner) meandered slowly out of his tiny building with a cup of coffee and asked me what I was shopping for. My partner pointed out a very pretty Toyota Solara convertible that he was more than happy to open up for us to take a look. Shortly after we began looking at all the features it had to offer he came back over to the vehicle and said, "Well when you have decided whether or not you want to buy it let me know and we will go on a test drive." Ummm... okay? How could I know if I am interested in buying it if I haven't started it... let alone driven it? I asked him if I could test drive it and he snidely responded, "yeah I guess. Tell you what, I will drive it out of here and you can drive it back." How sad of an experience. My partner had to get into the back of the car and I had to sit in the passenger seat while he attempted to get comfortable in a car that is not built for "largely built" retirees. He knew less about the car than I did, and when I asked him about a common issue that plagues Camry/Solara's he tried to belittle my knowledge by saying that he had never heard of such an issue. I just laughed. He drove about a mile down the road, turned around and offered to let me drive it back to the dealer. On the drive back he rudely huffed and puffed about the car, the weather, and whatever else he could complain about. When I got back and parked it he gave me his card and didn't even ask me about my interest level in buying it. After this lackluster experience, the EXTREME rudeness of the owner (who I was told is like that to everyone that isn't a late-middle aged white men buying a lexus), I actually hope that this business gets closed. Buying a car is about researching, test driving, and finding out what car fits you best. The most I could have hoped for here is having a beer bellied man with coffee breath look down on me for being young and successful. read more

This a wonderful place to buy a car. My husband and I have purchased cars from Tom for the last 15 or so years. Tom stands behind the cars he sells. The service is wonderful and the cars he sells are top quality. Buying are car from is effortless. read more

I was calling around searching for a vehicle. I found a vehicle at WERNET Enterprises and called the dealer. This was the second time I contacted the dealership to see if they still had a vehicle in stock. It was after the weekend and figured id call before driving all the way to the south suburbs. Staff told me that they still had the car in stock and explained to me that all the things that they did to it to get it ready for sale. He asked if I was interested in buying it and I told him that I was as long as everything checked out. I told staff i would be there before the end of the day. After driving an hour, i arrived to find out staff had sold the vehicle just prior to my arrival. It was less than 1.5 hours from the time i got off the phone to arriving at the dealership. I get that dealerships are in the business of selling cars. I even understand that they sell them to the first person with money in hand. My issue is that when i told him I drove an hour to see the car he got mad. He told me that I didnt commit to buying the car and proceeded to interrupt me and talk over me. He later said that he couldnt have contacted me since he didnt have my phone number. I know for a fact that he called me back the prior Friday after he missed my call. This is the worst experience I have had in dealing with customer service. I will never return nor recommend this place to any of my friends or family. Staff said they have been selling cars in Inver Grove Heights for over 50 years. I came to check Yelp to see if my experience was uncommon. I only saw 5 reviews and 3 of them were 1 star with a story about a bad experience. This tells me that WERNET has been screwing half of it's customers for 50 years. People can read this and choose to do what they want with this. I hope that after reading this they dont buy a car from them and later add their own review saying i was right and saying they wished they would have listened to me. read more

I just purchased a used Honda from wernet and it was a very painless process every step of the way. They sold me a great car at a fair price. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great used car. read more

Amazing service, the owner was very kind to me and treated me like I matter, he also knew what I wanted, and made me feel like I was important. Unlike others dealers on the Concord, this man actually cares for people and he wants to do the best to please the customer. Very kind man, very professional service. Car bought: Lexus 300 1999 We will be buying again in the future ! :) Will keep review updated as I use the car more read more

I almost did not go to Wernet Enterprises because of the review of Ben D. We had been looking for a low mileage CRV for over a year. We wanted one with low mileage and no accidents......show me the carfax!!! During our search for this "pristine" vehicle we had talked with Mr. Wernet on several occasions since he had several for sale. My husband I and talked about one in particular and decided to put a down payment on it to hold it. We drove 250 miles to check out the vehicle and were delighted to find it in" pristine " condition and exactly as he described. Yes, he did drive the vehicle first with my husband and I in the vehicle. That actually gave us the opportunity to check out the interior of the vehicle for any flaws or damage. While he was driving he pointed out all of the controls and conveniences. Mr. Wernet then asked us to drive it. He was really a nice person. We learned a lot about the vehicle and felt very comfortable doing business with him. (He never mentioned to us about buying a Lexus!) If you are looking for a specific vehicle he is your man. We are very pleased with the entire process and will definitely do business with him again. read more

We needed a good used vehicle that had towing capability for a boat. My wife found what appeared to be the perfect 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, at a price we liked. It was at a small local used car dealer. We were there bright and early when they opened Saturday morning. Greeted by the owner who showed us the vehicle and took us for a test drive. It was everything he said it was and MORE. We have owned a couple of Jeeps before but this one has even more bells and whistles. For a car with 98,278 miles on it, it was a beauty. I know it's already 10 years old but I have a feeling it's got another 10 good years in her. Tom the owner was a gem to deal with. Straight forward no bs kinda guy. We made a deal in less than 15 seconds. Fair for both parties. When I'm in the market for another used vehicle (who buys new when you are retired?), I will definitely be back. This guys lot is covered with QUALITY used cars. He gets them from out of state so they have not had the abuse that a Minnesota winter will give them. Check them out. You will not be disappointed.

DO NOT TRUST this dealership. Mr Wernet sued me without proper service for the amount of money he was contractually obligated to pay on the vehicle I traded into him. Within three days time he was somehow able to sell that vehicle to another party without a clean title (my name was still on the title since they never paid off the lien). After a lengthy court battle in Dakota County (should be public record, if you're considering buying a vehicle from him I highly suggest you look it up) I was able to get the default judgment against me dismissed with prejudice and he was then forced to finally pay off the lien after four years of ruining my credit. ...Not to mention costing me thousands in the housing market due to having to clear this issue up before I could close on a home. He never bothered to reply to the Attorney Generals office after three attempts to contact him prior to going to court. Buying a vehicle from him was a complete nightmare. Him and his finance guy, Jack, are untrustworthy. No matter what the deal is, or how much money you could save, DO NOT BUY FROM WERNET ENTERPRISES. read more
