Customer Testimonials
The entire buying process was quite easy and smooth. Antonio worked with me and wasn't pushy during any part of the buying process which was greatly appreciated.
My experience at Russ Darrow location with salesman Parker was definitely more favorable then not. He was very knowledgeable about the cars that were available to me. He was patient where he could be and assertive where he had to be. Was definitely a good experience for this being the second vehicle that I have gotten from this location. Needless to say he definitely helped out with helping me achieve a better vehicle for the winter. I definitely appreciate it!
Robert was great to deal with and answered all questions. He was very up front and on point.
Kayla Merklein went far than above and beyond for me. I needed special attention due to my disability and he was happy to do so.
Robert Matheny was a huge help. Answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. I highly encourage anyone looking for a new vehicle the selection here is amazing. Unfortunately when you get home and really read the paper work you find out the nice guy scammed you. Also the fancy talk distracts from the bottom line. I am so upset I fell l for the bullshit.
parkerrr was so nice to me and my bestie, he helped me get into my dream car! he communicated well and made me feel very comfortable! definitely had great ideas and threw them out there that will help me! we will see him soon 🙂
Parker was great help in navigating the purchase of my new Ram. He is knowledgeable and even came in on his day off to meet with me. I would be glad to work with him on my next purchase.
I recently purchased a new truck from Parker R. at Russ Darrow and had a fantastic experience. Parker was great to work with. He was even keeled, knowledgeable, and really knew his stuff, not just about the truck itself but the engines and technical details as well. The entire process was smooth, seamless, and completely zero pressure. Parker made everything easy and straightforward, and the other staff members I worked with were great as well. I would highly recommend Parker and Russ Darrow to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Great experience all around!
Robert was amazing easy deal from.start to finish
I really liked how Antonio communicated with me via text and I did call him but there was no pressure. He would send me videos of the vehicle I was interested, which I thought was pretty cool. He is like other reviews- patient and considerate.
I had to only wait a short while, the dealership did everything else.
Parker was phenomenal very consideraré of all our needs, we would highly recommended Parker for all your car buying needs
Made a service appointment, got email and text confirmations. Even a text reminder 30 minutes prior to the appointment. Drove 25 minutes to get there, only to be told it would be at least 2 hours, if not longer, before they could get to my vehicle. Service wouldn't be complete until after my kid's school got out. No real option but to leave without my vehicle getting serviced. Make another appointment, they said. Right - Worked really well for me the first time. Couldn't even contact me to give me a heads-up before I had to waste an hour of ... Read More

Luke in service is one of the best guys there he takes great care of his customers!
We have bought previously another car from Russ Darrow ten years ago. We loved the van, but the transmission went out. I contacted them about a van that looked like a good deal. Parker contacted me right away and even went out and made a video explaining details about it. Parker was very friendly and informative about the car. He wasn’t high pressure, which I hate in a salesman. Thank you, Parker
Our salesman Robert, was so helpful. He spent hours going into detail everything to me when I had endless questions due to my inexperience. Robert made sure all questions were answered and that I was 100% satisfied before leaving the parking lot. I have never met a better salesman than him and I hope other salesman take some notes from Robert. Overall, Russ Darrow is the way to go. They have a great selection of vehicles in their lot all in which are great quality. I have gone through many dealerships and so far this is the best I’ve been ... Read More

Worked with Kaylum to purchase a new vehicle. He coordinated getting the vehicle I wanted from a different dealer location within a day. Great to work with!
Scott was honest and expellant to work with. He was very responsive and handled the entire process with a level of professionalism rarely seen in the car-buying industry
Antonio at Russ Darrow was very friendly, mindful to details thats your looking for in a vehicle. What i love the most about my purchase with him today was the panoramic sun roof a feature I've never had and its my favorite color RED!!! BEST FOR LAST... Antonio got me a great prize on my vehicle today THANKS!!
Kaylum was very polite and personable. Delivery was efficient, no hidden agendas. He listened to my needs/concerns for lending options and didnt pressure for anything differently. I am also very appreciative of the finance manager for helping my needs be met.
Broke down on I-94 Friday night (Subaru, major coolant leak) and had it towed to this Russ Darrow location because it was the closest AAA-listed shop. By 7:30 Saturday morning Robert had a tech ready to look at it, by 8:15 I had an estimate, and by 11:30 I was back on the road. No BS, no upsell, courteous, quality work. Highly recommended.
Got right to the problem Drive in and they put a cold tester right on the truck look at what code sends up and make an appointment and everything is pretty fast. Thank you.
We worked with Robert Mathney and he assisted us above and beyond with our vehicle purchase. I would definitely recommend any of the Russ Darrow facilities from Waukesha, Madison and Appleton areas as they all helped us at different stages to find our perfect for us vehicle. Thank you guys!!
Robert was friendly, up front and, no pressure.
I think they do a good job, and I appreciate the video overview upon completion, but $150 is just getting to be too much for an oil change and tire rotation. Maybe not their fault with inflation and the increased costs of everything these days, and I understand dealerships tend to be pricier because they have more overhead. I go there because they sell the brand I have and I figure they know what to look for and how to fix them because that’s the majority of their work. However, I may have to consider finding a less expensive alternative ... Read More

Update about the service(s) done to my 2018 challenger. Im upset and frustrated at everyone from the service manager down to each one the multiple mechanics that worked on my car. Ballpark $7000 (Mosty warrantied work) multiple trips over months,roughly 3 weeks without my car..... every single suspension component has been changed and the car still clunked over bumps......or did.....
Grabbed an oil change today at my local jiffy lube. Old guy in the pit heard me telling a worker about this clunking was still STILL chasing for months. He yells up "I think I see the issue...Heat ... Read More

He went over everything before we started and was very thorough. I like the videos they send showing my car as they are working on it.
Excellent service. Great explanation of car and RD services.
Kaylum has been great to work with. He shoots straight and is a good communicator. We have bought two vehicles from him and will keep coming back!
Very good experience working with Robert. Open dialogue that fit my needs for a new car purchase.
my boy robert got me right with a new 2025 ram 1500 lone star
Absolutely amazing they were able to help me when nobody else could.. Highly recommend, They are very eager to please. Thank you so much.
This is the 2nd vehicle purchased from this specific dealership in Madison, WI. Kaylum, Chad, and Tyler are absolutely amazing and easy to work with!
Excellent service, found what I needed, thanks!
Parker was very personable and professional to purchase our new vehicle. Very knowledgeable in all aspects of vehicles
This is the first negative review I have ever felt compelled to write. I am not someone who normally complains, but this experience was so frustrating and disappointing that people deserve to know what they may be walking into.
Before making the long drive to the dealership, I worked with a salesperson who consulted with sales manager Tyler Johnson. We agreed in writing on the price and financing terms, and I was assured this would be a quick, approximately 30-minute transaction.
Once I arrived, the deal suddenly changed. My quoted payment increased by $150 per month, which would have cost me $10,800 ... Read More

I had a great experience working with Parker Rogalla. He kept me up to date with all the information about all of the particulars on the vehicles I was interested in. His follow up and follow through was great. Definitely someone I would work with again when it comes to buying a car.
I worked with a salesperson who consulted with sales manager Tyler Johnson. We agreed in writing on the price and financing terms, and I was assured this would be a quick, approximately 30-minute transaction.
Once I arrived, the deal suddenly changed. My quoted payment increased by $150 per month, costing me $10,800 more over the life of the loan.
I repeatedly requested official financing paperwork showing the interest rate, loan term, monthly payment, and total cost before signing anything. Tyler claimed they had to quote an extremely high payment because they did not yet know which bank would accept the loan. That ... Read More

I had an excellent experience working with my salesman. He was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire car-buying process easy and stress-free. He took the time to answer all my questions, was upfront and honest, and never made me feel pressured. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new vehicle. Five-star service from start to finish!
Unfortunately, my overall experience with this dealership has been extremely disappointing. What should have been an exciting experience purchasing a vehicle has turned into a series of frustrating issues involving communication, customer service, and follow-through.
From the beginning, there were multiple miscommunications. I was also charged $499 for etching that I specifically declined, which was extremely frustrating.
Then came the hail damage repairs. I understand that repairs can take time and that some things are outside of a dealership’s control. What I don’t understand is the lack of communication surrounding my vehicle. At one point, my vehicle was driven ... Read More

Antonio was helpful and knowledgeable.. he went above and beyond for us and made sure our car buying process went smooth.
Buying a car can often be a stressful experience, but Antonio made the entire process remarkably easy and enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, patient, honest, and professional, and I never once felt pressured. He took the time to answer all my questions, kept me informed throughout the process, and ensured that everything went as smoothly as possible.
Thanks to his outstanding assistance, I was able to drive away with my car today after a seamless and stress-free experience. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about helping you and makes the car-buying process simple and enjoyable, I highly recommend ... Read More

Friendly, helpful and efficient; didn’t take long to put the family into a new car.
Wasted our time and accomplished zero with an attempted car purchase. Shop elsewhere.
This dealership is very, very friendly towards new buyers. They got me an amazing rate and treated me with care!
Honestly, if I could leave a 0 star, I would. I've had troubles with my Van ever since I bought it, 3 years ago. Had the transmission replaced on it 2 with warranty. Told them that there was still something wrong. And the transmission is leaking, and they did nothing about it. And now my warranty is up on it. We'll never buy here again. Half tempted to call BBB.
Russ Darrow broke my trust in getting my vehicle serviced at a dealership. Avoid them if you don’t want to be upsold extraneous work at premium prices while receiving mediocre outcomes in return. In the end, the service advisor agreed they did not earn my repeat business but offered nothing to make me feel better about the situation.
I was quoted a total of $2,766, consisting of $899 for the engine repairs I came in for, about $1,268 in recommended brake work unrelated to the engine issue, and a surprise $599 vacuum pump replacement that only became necessary after they had completed the ... Read More

We bought a new Pacifica about 6 months ago. The purchasing experience was ok. They insulted us with many bad offers. The product is the real problem. We’ve had to take it in twice. We are currently on a road trip and when we get back we will be taking it back in again. We are constantly debugging software issues. As a software developer, the van’s software is sad. This vehicle has been a headache and a pain.
We bought a new vehicle as our last 10+ year old van was started to have issues, it had a lot less ... Read More

This is the worst experience I have ever had buying a car. I will never be back.
Very good, they were all very nice and efficient. I will be back in the future!
Scheduling was easy and quick. The turn around time was quick as well. Everything was covered under warranty, so it cost me nothing out of pocket.
Got the job done. Thank you. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, stop.
Rachel can't be bothered to return a simple email and then is offended when a customer uses the "F" word... She forwarded it elsewhere. How simply audacious!
Steven Fassbender at Service. We paid $5,225.08 total for the car to get engine light on on the first trip to Milwaukee. Too much money for the car to still have any light engine come up. Unacceptable
I came in for my oil change and when I got home my air intake was disconnected and I'm wondering how the mechanic didn't notice this issue
Very attentive and they found what I was looking for Great place to shop for used car
Great fast serviut we nice fast service. Very courteous workers. And loved the popcorn and a waiter
We have always had great service at this dealership. The service center was great at fixing the moonroof issue. We have bought several vehicles from this location and will hopefully continue to.
Easy to work with all around great group of people. Made vehicle purchase as pain free as possible.
Service advisor Rob Jensen has been very kind in helping to get my windshield wiper issue resolved.
Ana looked at my needs in a professional & personal way. She helped problem solve and followed up immediately. I felt she advocates for the customer!
Robert Jensen is always very friendly and willing to help find the problem Will always deal with him
Trent was great to work with gave me a few test drives searched out some information on some Vehicles did a great job
The staff was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely buy from them again in the future
After my suv was logged in for the appointment I was escorted to the waiting area. My time there was minimum and my questions were quickly answered.
Great customer service, took the time to explain and answered all questions. Service advisor Chris was outstanding
Since we were desperately in need of help so appreciated the Uber to Enterprise and the drop off at the end...All and Chris turned an emergency into a no stress situation. Thank you ??
Parker and Jake were nice and they were easy to work with. They didn't make the process difficult and explained the paperwork thoroughly.
Probably won’t return as a customer.
Quick, easy and painless. Explained the issue, sent videos and was done in a timely manner.
Very helpful This was our second purchase from this dealership. Great cars at a fair price. Everyone was so nice and super helpful.
Been going to the service department almost 20 years and will continue too. I trust them.
They worked with us to get us in at the next available slot, the technician sent us a video and they got the work done and informed us when the truck is ready to be picked up. Easy process and much appreciated.
Came in, greeted right away, got a video of tech examining my car and letting me know everything is good. 15 minutes later, oil change done and Luke checked me out instead of waiting for a cashier. Nice touch.
Parker and team were great. Very accommodating to all my needs, and found the best vehicle that fit my wants.
My new vehicle has burned in water spots on all the windows it 2024 the windshield looks like the vehicle was in a fire the bottom center and corners are burnt, I’ve tried to clean and was unable to remove, all this was unable to see because the vehicle was completely dirty when driving and than we purchased it, they washed it and we left so now and all of the paint looks like someone sprayed a product and it ran down the vehicle than cooked into the paint, you can tell it’s around the whole vehicle, my only ...

They do not know there way around any other vehicle other than the ones they sell
No appt. They took care of my check engine light ASAP. Anthony explained everything in plain language. I love the RAM, but why so many warning light problems? Can I trust this $75,000 truck.
Quick & efficient, friendly customer service. Reliable & trustworthy, will be visiting for all my future car needs.
This was the easiest, friendliest, and smoothest car buying process I have ever experienced. Parker is an amazing car salesman and wonderful person. He made the car buying experience truly a fantastic experience.
On time and efficient Love the video recap of service being performed Convenient online appointment scheduling
Sales was great! Our sales person was the only person who came out and made any attempt to see us. The rest need to get off their lazy xxxxx
I went in to look at a vehicle and told salesman Bob Phillips I was just looking and dont need to buy any vehicle. I had him run numbers for a trade in and took the vehicle on the lot for a test drive to which was hail damaged, pulled to the left and had numerous scratches on the rear bumper. Thru the car fax I discovered it was in an accident and hit on the same left side to which way the vehicle was pulling. He stated, " it may have been the wind that day that made the ... Read More

The entire purchasing process was enjoyable. This is the third car I've bought/leased from Bob Phillips, who is a joy to work with. Financing was quick and easy, too.
I had a phenomenal experience at russ darrow with Parker. It felt like as soon as I expressed interest in the vehicle someone reached out and made availability to come see me (sooner than I expected). Parker was extremely patient with all of my questions and anxiety. I didnt feel pressured at all. I will be referring friends and family in the future! I love my elantra!!
I went because of my backup camera working and not working all the time from April 28th. I brought it in, and it was checked out and I was told it was going out. Luke ordered one and it was installed the next day. I must say it is very nice and it didn't take long for it to be put on my vehicle.
I always bring my car here for an oil change or other needed services for years!
Was in for service the previous week and was told an alignment was needed. Yesterday, I was told things were close to specs but had alignment done anyway since I was there. Otherwise, all went very well.
DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THESE SOULESS PEOPLE. NOBODY WILL HELP YOU. I bought a car from here a little bit of a year ago. In under a year I had 11 service appointments with multiple services. 1 including a brand new motor. Then while my car was at the dealership it got STOLEN while the oil pan was out and then brought back. The guy still has yet to be caught. I had glass scatter all over my car after they put a new sunroof in. They didn't properly clean it out and then my tracks broke due to ... Read More

I work with Scott S and he was great. Everything's always painless and very transparent. Appreciate the experience. This is the second vehicle I bought because of Scott
The service is always great, and all of the staff are very friendly and efficient
Main appointment got in on time explain to me what was going on and I was good to go
It was smooth and relatively bump free. When I had a concern , Luke dealt with it promptly and to my satisfaction. Both provided good customer service.
