Shuman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Shuman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram...The Biggest Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Dealer in Walled Lake!  Who came up with this slogan?  We don't know.  We've been doing business in Walled Lake since 1955.  Our philosophy is simple.  We will beat any ad, any price, period.  All dealers buy cars from the factory for the same price.  There are no volume discounts for car dealers so we keep our overhead low.  You get the best deal from the dealer with the lowest overhead.  The place isn't new but we paid off the mortgage long ago.  We keep it clean, add on when we need to, and paint it once in a while.  We buy the latest computers, tools, and equipment to give our customers the highest level of service at the lowest possible price.

We'll let the other dealers build new Taj Mahal stores.  We encourage you to visit these indoor football stadiums and get a cappuccino at their coffee bar.  Take a look at the granite countertops and ask yourself one question: WHO THE HECK IS PAYING FOR ALL THIS FANCY STUFF?
 
YOU ARE unless you come to Shuman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Walled Lake. We are your low overhead dealer.
That's really all you need to know.  If you'd like to know our entire history, here we go: In 1955, my father and grandfather purchased an existing dealership in Walled Lake.  In 1967, they purchased six acres of farmland on the northwest corner of Pontiac Trail and South Commerce and built our current facility.  In 1996, we doubled the size of the service department and added an indoor all-weather service write- up area.  In 1998, we added an automated car wash, employee lunchroom and office space.  By the way service customer vehicles are washed on every service visit.  In 2003, we purchased five acres across the street on Pontiac Trail, demolished three eye-sore old homes, and built a separate Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle facility.  We are now able to stock even more new vehicles.

Yes a brand new 18 million dollar new facility on a freeway off ramp somewhere would be nice but how could we ask our customers to pay for it?  In fact, in 2006 Chrysler demanded that we move to South Lyon.  We refused.  Rather than pay all that money for a new store on very expensive land in a cornfield by the freeway, we decided to stay in Walled Lake and simply expand our showroom.  We'll keep the place clean, carpet and paint when we need to, add on if necessary, get the latest technology and tools, KEEP OUR OVERHEAD LOW and beat any ad, any price, period. It's just that simple.  We completed the new showroom in January 2007.  Now we have the best deals, the best location, and the best facility.  (And, as always, everything is paid for).

On March 25, 2010 Chrysler gave us a Dodge and Ram franchise and we became the Biggest Dodge & Ram Dealer in Walled Lake.  No, we didn't get some other poor dealer's closed down store franchise, we were given an open point (as we say in the business) that we've been asking for since 1984.
 
It's not just about getting bigger.  Along the way we've added the latest computer systems and service equipment.  Every sales consultant has a computer on his or her desk. There's no running back and forth to a secret tower in our store.  Our service technicians have the latest special tools, equipment and computers to fix your vehicle right the first time.  We don't have a coffee bar with granite countertops, but we do have a cheap (I mean inexpensive) coffee machine.  I clean it and make coffee every morning.

Computers, special tools and equipment are great but we send everyone to training.  I go to Five Star workshops.  Sales consultants train on site and off site in Chrysler schools.  We have weekly product knowledge contests.  Our techs get the latest training.  Service Advisors, Parts Counterpersons, Service and Parts Managers, all receive the best training available. Why?  So you don't need to go anywhere else for any automotive need.
Hey, how did I get here?  I was born and raised in this crazy business but I like to talk so I became a lawyer and practiced law in Oakland County for eleven years.  Although suing people was fun, I just could not resist getting back to the dealership in 1997 and I'm still here today, every day, full time.  We don't own 25 stores in 15 states.  This is it in good old Walled Lake.  Yes, all our eggs are in one basket so we keep a very close eye on the basket. This is not some two- bit operation. We're at least a four bit operation!  While we give our customers small-town, old-fashioned customer service, we are a large volume store.  Out of 4,000 Chrysler Jeep Dodge stores nationwide, we consistently rank in the top 25 in new vehicle sales volume.  Jokes aside, we will sell you the vehicle you want, at the price you want.
