The Menholt Auto Group dealerships are taking preventative actions to help protect our staff and valued customers against the coronavirus and COVID-19 disease. We want to provide you with the most up-to-date information on our response within our Menholt Auto Group facilities.

Our hours are the same

We are here and open for business. Our business hours haven’t changed: Our sales department is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and our service department is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Enhanced cleaning routine

We have implemented a scheduled cleaning routine with our professional cleaning crew during business hours to thoroughly disinfect all surfaces, door access handles, bathrooms, and general contact areas. These sanitizing cycles will happen multiple times during our business day, with our own employees also assisting in these efforts. These same routines will be completed again each night after the close of business by our same professional cleaning crew. As a continued service to our visitors and staff, depending on product availability, we have hand sanitizer stations located at various points around our facilities. We also encourage thorough handwashing with soap and water for at least a 20-second duration to remove potentially dangerous microbes from the skin. We provide gloves and vehicle sanitization upon request. Under normal circumstances, we always offer a friendly handshake to our customers and friends – but we will now offer a friendly wave and a genuine smile instead as we welcome visitors to our dealerships.

Additional online, at-home services

Our dealership is open for regular business as long as the COVID-19 situation remains stable. We will be offering the following services at this time:

• Options for online car buying backed up by our friendly, flexible and transparent sales process.

• The ability to schedule an “at home” test drive from our vehicle stock.

• Pick-up and return delivery of customer vehicles in need of service. Please call for availability and scheduling.
• Credit card payments accepted over the phone.

We are monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization‘s guidelines for responding to coronavirus, and we are doing everything that we can to ensure that we are actively slowing the pace and impact of this virus. We are particularly sensitive to protecting the higher risk members of our community. We will send out new information through email channels if the need arises. If you have additional questions or we can be of further service, please contact us, as we are here to help. Thank you for your support in all these efforts. Sincerely, The entire staff at the Menholt Auto Group.

Frequently asked questions:

Q: Are you open? Yes! Our sales and service departments are open and ready to help you.

Q: Have your hours changed? No, our hours are the same. Our sales department is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Our service department is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Q: What precautions are you taking in your store? We have increased our cleaning of frequently touched surfaces, like doorknobs, with regular wipe downs throughout the day. We have added clear barriers between service advisors and customers, and our large waiting area provides plenty of space for you to stay 6 feet away from others should you need to wait for your vehicle. In our sales department, we are greeting people with a smile and a wave rather than a handshake.

Q: Do you have a vehicle sanitation practice? Yes. Sales managers wear gloves, and service technicians wear gloves when operating customer vehicles. Our service department will wipe down customer’s vehicles after service upon request.

Q: Do you offer pick-up and delivery services? Yes, both in service and in sales. For our convenience service appointments, you can make an appointment, fill out an envelope, drop your keys inside, and an employee will drive to your home or workplace to pick up your vehicle, then return it once the appointment is completed. In sales, you can browse our entire inventory online, and schedule an “at-home” test drive. A sales representative will deliver a vehicle to your home or workplace for you to look at and drive. They will have all of the paperwork with them, so if you choose to buy, you can do so without ever visiting the dealership.

Q: I have a vehicle to trade. Can I do that from home? Yes! You can always start by filling out our online vehicle trade-in form, to get a general idea of your trade-in value. You can also work with one of our sales representatives directly, by sending them photos of your vehicle and its VIN number. To contact a sales representative, you can either utilize our website’s online chat function, send us a message through Facebook, Twitter or Google, or give us a call at 605-593-4633.
