Customer Testimonials
Fred was great but we waited over an hr. Fir the finance dept. Too long
They are attentive to service details and get the work done with care and on time.
Service Advisor was extremely polite and had great product knowledge. Thank you for the car wash and ALL the treats available while I waited. It was a pleasure!
I worked with Oakley first, I told him EXACTLY what I wanted and he delivered! Then I went to finance and worked with Ernest. Amazing service. Repeat customer and will return.
The staff at McGrath were very friendly and courteous. They got me my new vehicle and I thank everyone who worked with me. Especially, Elijah Halfhill. I feel like I made new friends. You guys are top notch. Thanks for your time
Disappointed with our interaction with McGrath. We had a vehicle brought to this location from a different McGrath location. Very pleased with this service—saved us from driving 2 hours to look at vehicle. We took vehicle for a test drive, looked it over and made the decision to purchase. Our sales person was newer and friendly.
However this is where our frustration started. We discussed with both the sales person and the sales manager that we had limited time due to needing to get to work and that we were going to finance with our local bank. The plan was ... Read More

The sales person we had, did amazing! Travis was on top of getting us the perfect vehicle and making sure everything worked out in our favor and checking in to see how our new vehicle was working. Taking the time out his day to make sure if we had any questions or concerns to be able to assist the best he could.
Seth Owen from the Dubuque location was amazing! 10/10 would recommend. Very patient and accommodating. I was impressed with his knowledge of the vehicles I looked at!
The McGrath team dealt with me fairly, addressed my concerns, and sold me a VW Atlas I am very happy with!
I had a really nice young salesman in Kyawn. He was a gentleman and very professional to work with.
Excellent experience! We were very pleased with Rick and all the help he gave us.
Great experience in searching and buying a new Tucson. Rick was so easy to work with and willing to answer all of our questions. He went above and beyond service to find the vehicle we wanted. Thank you to the team at McGrath.
The sales rep, manager, and finance rep were professional and helpful! Listened to our needs.
We have had 3 awesome experiences with Rick Herring at McGrath in Dubuque!!! Rick is very down to earth, knowledgeable, a no pressure kind of guy, and just comfortable to be around. My kids and I will always go to Rick when it comes to purchasing a used or new vehicle. He took care of us throughout every step of our car buying experience. We would highly recommend Rick to anyone!!!! Patrick the General Sales Manager is also a great guy as is Blake the business office manager! Thanks Again Guys!
This is directly for the financing side of my experience. I purchased my car over a month ago and still have not received the payment for my trade-in. I fortunately have a local lender who is working with me and is not penalizing me for the outstanding loan balance greater than $3,000. My salesman was incredible to work with I would highly recommend him. However, this is the third time buying a car from this location and their finance department has failed me every time.
McGrath has been great to work with. Rick Herring was my sales guy. A++ to work with. I'm excited about my new ride:)
From a seasoned car buyer... Superior car buying / trade in experience. Ernest, Blake and team did a professional and A+ job. Connected via the website and shortly thereafter, Ernest provided a valuable video and feedback. The deal was completed fast and competitive. Ernest remained attentive throughout the process. The dealership was a true-to-Iowa experience - clean, bright, friendly, and free refreshments. Big fan of the free Smart Cert and other warranties / perks offered for sale. Well done!
I am absolutely thrilled to provide an update on my recent experiences with Pat McGrath car dealerships. Having been a loyal customer who has purchased not one, not two, but three cars from their dealership, I felt compelled to share my recent journey, which, though initially challenging, turned into a truly exceptional experience. Once my concerns were brought to their attention, they went above and beyond to completely rectify the situation, demonstrating their commitment to customer satisfaction.
Pat McGrath's team acted swiftly and decisively to address my concerns. The dealership's management, including the general manager, Mark Updegraff, and ... Read More

Had a wonderful experience purchasing a used 2022 Ram 1500 from Brandon Evans at McGrath Chevy. Brandon was attentive and listened to what we wanted. And Brandon's service after the sale has been top notch. Thank you so much!
Outstanding sales help and excellent service start to finish. My 4th vehicle purchase from this location.
Good customer service, sales person made me feel welcomed and offered me snacks and drinks while I was waiting
We worked with Lisa on purchasing our used Jeep, excellent sales person very helpful!! Would recommend Lisa to everone our experience was excellent
Prices are no where near market value. They use topical tactics of "Kelly blue book doesn't buy cars" and focusing on payment. The service team is really nice but the quality of repairs is garbage. If you buy a car from them, they'll also try to buy it from you (for terrible value) less than a year later.
Austin Bryant is a smart,young, and brilliant man…if you have any questions about a car or wanting a car talk to Austin Bryant…he definitely has great customer service
Everyone was extremely helpful, not pushy, and helped me get the car of my dreams. No sneakiness went on, they were very truthful and open up front. Would definitely go here for my next visit, Donald was AWESOME!
Sales team great and easy to work with, finance guy pushy with extended warranty etc and wouldn’t take no for and answer.
Fantastic Car buying Experience. Knowledgeable Professional Honest Staff. Amazingly positive experience. Especially appreciated the Home delivery!
Worked really hard to meet my needs! Great experience all around. Don't need this many words.
I drove over an hour to get a car from McGrath. All the people were very friendly. They had technical issues but were awesome through it all. Happy to buy another vehicle from them.
Even though I walked into the wrong building when I went over to check out their used offerings, Every one was very helpful and friendly and got me sorted out and the experience of buying a car from them was a massive improvement from the last vehicle I bought.
We felt welcomed as soon as we walked in the door and had the opportunity to test drive several vehicles. We worked with Ty and Alex and both were professional and courteous!
Staff was very friendly, efficient, and was understanding of my needs and wants! This is my 3rd vehicle with Mcgrath! Would 100% Recommend Mcgrath!
Everyone was great - very helpful and aware of what I needed. They got me just what I wanted and made it seem easy! Just what I would expect from a McGrath Dealership!
After a less than desirable experience to begin with Devin W at the Dubuque Hyandai and V was amazing, went above and beyond and I'd recommend to everyone!
Your did a wonderful job Everybody was super friendly to me and my dad myself and Lisa appeal He was so awesome Help find the perfect car for us I'm super excited And I have and I will continue to tell everybody I know to go to McGrath auto for their next vehicle
Javari was so helpful going over all the features in my new Tucson, I am not tech savvy so he explained everything great! I had just a month ago purchased a new Tucson which was a total loss due to hail damage so they had everything ready when I got there to get the new one .
My sales rep, Lisa Appel, made my buying experience very enjoyable. I test drove 3 vehicles before finding the one that worked for me. She had to have 2 of them brought from the Marion store and they were here ready to look at when she said they would. Very welcoming experience.
George (Sales) and John (Service) were pleasant to work with. Went to dealership for service, ended up purchasing new car. Will return and tell others.
Hands down best car buying experience I’ve ever been through. All in all I was in and out driving my new car in less than an hour
My sales consultant George was the best. He did every thing to get me the best deal and even let me take a car home to see how the AWD worked for my travels
I was very happy. Would definitely use them again in the future. I have only good things to say about McGrath. I was very happy with my new vehicle and I’m exited to drive it.
I have my sales guy Javari was awesome and our loan guy Kendall worked with us and it was a great time. I would totally recommend on visiting here and work with Javari very personable and very customer oriented. Kendall was awesome we couldn’t come back due to our schedule and he brought the car to use. This is the second car I got from them and I will be back. Thank You.
Lisa was very helpful in my purchase. She answered all my questions to the best of my knowledge. She has a fun loving personality and I enjoyed doing business with her.
I had such an amazing experience at mcgrath! They did everything in their power to get me in a car and with the best rates. Etc that they could, and now I'm driving my '16 passat and I love it! A huge thank you to Brion Bowman, my salesman at finding me my dream car and making sure we had an amazing experience!
I've bought several cars in my lifetime, and I can honestly say that I've never had such a pleasant buying experience as I did at McGrath Volkswagen. I found the dealership online, and although it is quite a distance from my home, I definitely feel it was worth the trip. and I've had several questions and concerns since I bought my new beetle, and Jamie and josh have been very helpful, and encourage me to ask for help if I need it. I would highly recommend this dealership.
My rep Skyler was very knowledgeable, not pushy in anyway and EASILY talked me into a brand new VW Passat that I love more the more I drive it!
Knowledgable, thorough sales and finance personnel. Also, friendly and patient, with no games. Highly recommend McGrath Auto. I think I've found my lifelong dealership.
I bought a used car from McGrath in October. Within a few days I found out that I had a head gasket leak. Normally, it would cost almost 2,000 bucks out of my pocket to fix the leak. Instead, McGRATH picked up the tab and fixed my car because they wanted to make sure that I was a happy camper. Eric and DJ were great salesmen. They were upfront and honest from the start to the finish. The service department was also top notch. I had a great experience and I highly recommend McGrath for sales or service. They have integrity ... Read More

While comparison shopping several cars from ALL the different local dealers, McGrath Volkswagen of Dubuque was the only one to offer a reasonable OTD price from the very beginning. In a different market (large city) I would have been comfortable negotiating substantially lower price, but I still got a FAIR price OTD, with no buyers remorse!
There were no big hassles through the buying process. Was not pressured but was given explanations of the car's good points. Again, when offered the extended warranty it was explained to me there was minimal pressure to buy.
I dealt with 5 salesmen: Trevor, Collin, BJ, Ty, and Wrigley
I drove a rental car from Enterprise to pick up the van, arriving mid afternoon.
The salesman I was told to meet upon arrival introduced me to another sales person who I had not met. He turned out to be the best of the lot, name was Wrigley.
He took me to the vehicle and we checked it out. Two problems, the plastic skirting around the driver's seat was lying in two pieces, like clam shells as though it had dropped off it's connections and was lying on ... Read More
