About Al
I am a Minnesota native. I grew up in Bloomington, MN, on 87th Blaisdell. My wife is also from MN, and she grew up in Wayzata. My parents are both retired. They moved to Raymond, Mississippi, where my dad inherited some acreage. Both of my kids, Alexa and Jason, live in New York. I'm very proud of them; they're both successful individuals and continue to amaze me each day! My hobbies and interests include traveling, fishing, golf occasionally, and ice fishing. My conversations amongst others are mostly sports-oriented. I'm a big fan of the Minnesota Vikings, even though I don't know why they keep letting me down. My certifications include Acura and Subaru. Customers can count on me for pressure-free, honest, and understanding service at the dealership. I listen to learn what they're looking for and work hard to provide just that. Throughout my 28 years in the auto industry, the best aspect of my job remains the referrals. When the family and friends of my customers come to me for service, it shows me they recognize my commitment to a stress-free, friendly, respectful, and fun purchasing experience. I bring trustworthiness and high quality to every guest!

I was fortunate to connect with Al on a 2017 Outback 3.6R limited that was fresh on the lot. Ended up finding the car on a Sunday and calling on a Monday. Al was quick to action in helping me place a hold on the vehicle since I was not local to the MPLS area. He kept me in the loop of everything happening with the car as the week progressed. Once it was time to make the trek to the dealership, Al was very easy to coordinate with and also very understanding of the logistics of traveling for a potential purchase. From arrival to departure, my experience goes beyond a 10. In all honesty, the car did not need a lot of selling between the amazing condition and "unicorn" status with this also having Option Package 23 installed. Things you learn when you have a top sales person who can answer every question. The test drive was enjoyable and as someone who doesn't drive around the MPLS area a ton, also isn't super comfortable doing so, Al was a cool, calm, and collected guide through the area to make sure I got both a city and freeway test drive experience. From there to swapping keys on my trade in and heading back up the road home, again, a beyond 10 experience. Thanks again Al for everything!

I purchased 2 pre-owned vehicles from him in 2 weeks. He did everything that we talked about for prep and service and supported me I issues I discovered post delivery.

I got a fair deal on my auto purchase. All questions were answered quickly and truthfully. I was able to close the purchase quickly and accurately.

We loved our experience with Allan. We were a little discouraged when some cars we thought to look at turned out to be sold, or in the process of being sold. It took us a while to get the "hang" of all the nifty gizmos, and now we think it's the best car we could have found. Brad LOVES the all the radio choices, and we really appreciate the driver assist devices. Thanks so much! We think it's really special.
