Customer Testimonials
Exemplary integrity. Justin, Jesse and Cornerstone in general were great. We had our 2018 F150 in for some warranty and recall work. One of the repairs had an error that caused an issue a couple weeks later. Cornerstone Ford got it diagnosed and taken care of. We were very happy with Justin and Jesse’s communication. Overall, their honesty and integrity has Cornerstone Ford as tops for us.
I just purchased an Expedition from Cornerstone and worked with Josh Sims. I wasn't familiar with Cornerstone, but found the vehicle online. We traveled from a distance and I albeit threated Josh that it better be as described- it was even better! Josh had our ETA, met us by the front door, and was respectful of our time. We drove the Expedition, weren't passed around to other team members and were back on the road in our new ride.
Soroush was very helpful in assisting us with the purchase of our new vehicle. He answered all of are questions and assisted us with the vehicles technology. We are glad we chose Cornerstone and had Soroush as our sales associate!
Hello, I recently purchased a jeep from your dealership and I worked with Rocky in custom finance and my experience was great!! Rocky was patient and listened to what I was looking for in a car for me and my family. THANK YOU!
Best experience we've had shopping for a car thanks to Dylan McDowell! I haven't had much experience with car shopping, but my wife has gone to a few dealerships, and has always had a bad experience. The one dealership I did actually go to, was terrible. This one changed how I feel about dealerships. While walking up to the dealership, they already had all the cars I was interested in pulled up to the front of the store. We showed up about 15 minutes early, and Dylan McDowell was immediately available for any questions, concerns, etc. Went on a ...
Anthony Manderfeld was the best, I came in to the dealership grouchy… he popped a few dad jokes. Took a load off. First vehicle I test drove had a check engine light on. So Cornerstone Auto made it right on the next vehicle. Great service, fast, convenient, fueled up the tank, and offered food and beverages for the trip home. Thank you Cornerstone Auto And especially Anthony Manderfeld for making everything right.. and all the dad jokes!
I recently bought a Toyota Highlander from the Elk River Ford location. I worked with sales person Josh. The process was seamless all of the way through. I've used Cornerstone for years at their Rockford Rd. location. Brandon the service manager always treated me like family, showing concern about every aspect of my vehicle being serviced and or my general questions and concerns. Never over selling any service or product. He is the reason that I continue to use Cornerstone for service, and now the Elk River location is my main dealership because of the personal service that I ...
What an amazing experience of buying our 1st car in Minnesota. All the staff went out their way to make us happy. Not only did we get 5 star service, but we walked out with our dream JEEP Grand Cherokee at a brilliant price. All the departments were excellent. Fast, reliable and trustworthy in one dealership! I highly recommend Cornestone Auto-Elk River. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you! You will see us again!
Up front and honest dealership! Anthony Manderfeld listened to all of our requests and answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible buying our dream vehicle! We put our order in and come delivery time we paid exactly what we expected with no mark ups or anything of that nature. Will be coming back when it's time to buy another vehicle!
I had to drive 500 miles to find this vehicle. Brett and John were both the consummate professionals. While they were very tight on the price, I do believe it was a fair price. If II had to drive 500 miles to find this vehicle. Brett and Jon we’re both the consummate professionals. While they were very tight on the price, I do believe it was a fair price. If I were to need another vehicle would choose them despite the drive.
Ben Anderson was very professional while going over the sale of my new 2023 F-350
I smashed my truck and needed a vehicle fast. They worked fast and efficiently and got me a new truck.
Our Salesman Anthony was very kind and profesional! I would definitely seek him out if I were to purchase again from Cornerstone Ford! The warranty salesperson and finance person were great as well!
Very fast with information, the were able to send me additional pictures right away. Thanks
Anthony Manderfeld was our sales rep and he did an amazing job!!! We bought a truck from him in 2021 and it was a smooth and wonderful experience. When we were in the market for an electric vehicle we reached out and asked a couple of questions. They didn’t have anything in stock and didn’t know when they would. Which we totally understood. We ended up ordering a Tesla. Cornerstone ended up with a vehicle that someone backed out of. Anthony remembered that we just inquired on wanting to drive one. He reached out and within hours we had ...
We worked with Mike Zwilling and he is a rock star! He wasn't pushy, he was honest, very knowledgeable, just a GREAT person to work!
Josh sims was a salesman wasn’t push walk us through the sale with no problem and help us pick the jeep that fit our needs.
I purchased a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited from Cornerstone. Ben Anderson was the Sales Person. He was very courteous, knowledgeable and very informative. The sale procedure went very smooth. I drove away a happy camper.
Have not yet purchased a vehicle from here, but am impressed with their service department and technicians. I purchased a used 2018 F150 Platinum with 22K miles on it from another dealer earlier this year. The LKS / Auto High Beam camera was not working. Even though the vehicle is covered under a couple warranties, the other dealership was unwilling to replace that camera and was unable to repair it. I brought the vehicle to Cornerstone Ford with a front left wheel bearing issue which they confirmed and repaired under warranty. They also repaired the LKS / Auto High Beam camera stating it ...
I can NOT say enough good things about Cornerstone Ford, and more specifically my salesman, Ben Anderson. I have never been treated with more honor, and respect, and patience ever before. Ben never once made me feel like I was asking too many questions. He always greets me with a "smile" over the phone and insists on always answering any questions I have. I've seen all the ads on cable TV about how Cornerstone is so kind to everyone and how everyone feels like they are all family. I am beginning to feel that. I am loving ...
This dealership is top notch. Always treated me great. Highly recommend them for all aspect of the car business. As fair company you ca.n trust before the sale and after as well
Thank you To my sales person, Pickleman!! You and your team were amazing and I look forward to building a relationship through the next years and helping me grow my company. Thank you Julie Shoberg
Purchased a truck from "Alaska Mike ". Was very pleased doing business with him!!!! If you're looking for a vehicle, Cornerstone is the place to go!! The young lady that did our financing, was also very personable and fast. Great place to buy a vehicle!!!!
Wayne Dietz provided an excellent truck buying experience for me. I will definitely be referring friends and family to buy their vehicles from in the future.
David Biren sold us a 2021 ram 1500, the experience was professional and comfortable. David was knowledgeable in the workings of the products and procedures of the sale. Thank You David
Rocky Foster sold us a 2020 Jeep compass today, we have bought many vehicles in our life and i have never met a more knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful salesman in that time.. He put us in a vehicle we never had considered and made sure our special needs in the financing were met..We would highly recommend Rocky and Cornerstone Ford to anyone in need of a new or used vehicle.......Dave and Pat Stanlake thanks Rocky
Jon Hummel was very easy to deal with. Best experience I had. Even Jim and Amanda took time to help and explain all the paperwork.
Duane was professional, informed and polite. Must have looked at a dozen cars and finally landed on one. Highly recommend Cornerstone and Duane to anyone needing car!
Thanks to Duane Fletcher and all the finance staff for making it an easy process. Duane went above and beyond to get what I needed.
Duane Fletcher is an amazing salesman. He is patient and listens to all of your needs and wants in purchasing a vehicle. I will definitely be back to purchase future vehicles from him.
Thank you Alec for your patients and ability to find me the perfect truck. He spent time figuring out my needs and his knowledge is remarkable. My 2016 F150 Lariat is the best fit for my needs. Thank you again Alec.
John Hummel was the best salesman we’ve ever encountered. He’s positive, hears your needs and makes buying a used truck easy! Thanks John!
I came in for an oil change but also had a tail light out. Ivan and the Cornerstone team went out of their way to get the oil changed AND replaced the wiring harness needed to repair my tail light. I really appreciated their efforts to get me back on the road again. Bryan O.
I stopped in to get an oil change and Ivan greeted me and remembered me by name! I did not even have an appointment and I don't go in but maybe 2 to 3 times a year! The service department is quick, thorough and very reasonably priced! Thank you Ivan!
Chris Bongiovanni did a fantastic job in helping me find a car that met my needs. I'd recommend him to anybody! Tell Chris I sent you!
Great experience with a very helpful staff. I had all of my questions answered and the whole buying process was stress free. Ben Anderson was a great help with everything. I would definitely recommend anybody checking out Cornerstone for their next vehicle.
Best car leasing experience ever I highly recommend working with Ben Anderson, He showed me one vehicle, and that was the one. This speaks to his listening skills.. The entire experience was professional, efficient, and stress-free. Highly recommend.
I was in looking for a newer used vehicle with my Dad about a month ago and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with our Sales Associate. He did everything above and beyond during my entire car buying experience and even after the fact answering extra questions I had. I would definitely work with him again in the future. Thank you!
Very happy with my purchase! Matthew did his best to find a vehicle that suited just what I was looking for! Will be back for my next vehicle!
My husband and I came into Cornerstone Auto to test drive a truck we were interested in. We were met by Patrick and right away we felt very comfortable. He spent two days listening to our needs and wants to help us put the "right" vehicle together for us. We purchased a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT and are very pleased. I would recommend Patrick to anyone needing someone to be patient and understanding. When we came the next day to pick up our truck, he had set all the safety features for us, even filled it up with a ...
After filing bankruptcy and being on a tight spot in need of a vehicle Rocky Foster came through where EVERY OTHER DEALERSHIP FAILED. He was extremely accommodating when my family and I came in unexpected after working on a deal for a truck. He squeezed us in while working with other customers and brought the truck for me to look at. After deciding that the truck wasn't at all right for us, he helped us find a better one which was newer and had less mileage. He worked out our deal with the bank and even though my credit ...
I recently purchased a Jeep from Cornerstone. I worked with Ben Anderson, and this was truly the best experience I have ever had when purchasing a vehicle. He put no pressure on me for a sale, and was open and easy to talk to. By the time I left, I really felt he had become a friend rather than just a salesperson. The financial officer was also friendly and outgoing and made that part of the process stress free. I would recommend anyone looking to purchase an automobile to look no further than Cornerstone.
Me Rocky Foster, Custom Finance Mgr was beyond phenomenal! Straight to the point, and knowledgable! Was not afraid to take on my horrible credit challenges! Was able to meet my price answer payment goals and my wants in different options. Inventory selections was beyond expectations! You need to come in and see this man!
Came in for an oil change. Asked Ross the quick lane tech to look at breaks, they were soft. He came back in 5 minutes to show me a very bad wheel bearing. Checked with service for an appointment, 6 weeks. Ross said he would check to see if he could get a tech in to fix it. I had to leave for an appointment. 3 hours later I got a call saying it was fixed. Unreal, they saved me. I'm a customer for life.
Car would not start. I had it jumped and it ran fine. Put it in the garage for an hour and went to start it, it started fine, took it to NAPA and had the battery checked, NAPA said the battery was fine so I went home. Two hours later I went to start the car and it didn’t start. My neighbor jumped my car and I took it to Cornerstone and left it to be looked at the next day. Jeff felt sure it was the battery, replaced the battery and it has been working ever since.
Andrea is a role model of what constitutes a customer focused service advisor. My service requirements were techinacally complex and required time to resolve. Throughout that time Andrea ensured I understood the status of my vehicle, be it good or bad. She was honest and informative. She earned my utmost trust and respect. It is because of Service Advisors like Andrea I am a return customer, both on the sales and service sides of the business.
They text me throughout the process to let me know what they found and pricing to repair. Asked for authorization to proceed before repairing. The service representative was very professional and friendly.
Shop was very busy the day I stopped by. I was told wait could be as much as 1:30 hrs. They gout me thru in less than an hour. Good update during that time.
Told Ben how much I wanted to spend , what features I was interested in. No pressure very accommodating to discuss what features I wanted and what the car came with.
Called to have my drivers seat, repaired. The stitching let go. Same is happening on the passenger seat, told the woman exactly what was wrong, and that I needed it stitched. When I arrived, I was told that there is no one that works on it in the dealership, and no connection to repair it, only replace it? It’s a 50.00 repair job. I drive back home in a loner only to be told replacing cost is 500.00/ seat? So I turn around to hit rush hour traffic . 4 hours of my time for nothing, had the service appointment scheduler, known what ...
Brandon barth did a great job best experience ive ever had buying a vehicle.ive bought multiple vehicles in 20 years but tjis eas the most seamless.
I have bought 2 vehicles and my family members have also bought vehicles from here. Great experience, everyone is so nice and friendly. Service is knowledgeable and friendly as well. I trust the techs and the quick lane is fabulous as well. Overall great place to buy a car and service it at as well.
I have been servicing our vehicles here for years. We always receive courteous and great service. Cornerstone has earned my loyalty and I will always bring my vehicles here.
Sarah artman made my buying experience simple she knew what my needs were and went above and beyond to meet my needs and was extremely helpful in explaining everything to me
We had a great Jeep Gladiator buying experience. Sarah answered all of our questions. She had everything ready for our test drive appointment. She showed us all the cool Jeep features.
Every time I go to this dealer I’m never disappointed. The people are friendly and the selection of different vehicles is pretty good for any budget. Ben Anderson is amazing! This was my 3rd vehicle purchase from him. He is friendly, genuine, and actually takes the time to get to know you and listen. He selected different vehicles for us to look at based on our tastes. All 3 times, I didn’t plan on buying that day, but the experience and service set the tone for the purchase. Ben actually helped me set up a surprise purchase for my ...
We brought our van in for service and the dealer’s Service Department is great! The van was ready on time and the staff are knowledgeable and very friendly.
Sara - at the Elk River Cornerstone has always been incredible. We came to look at a newer Jeep and asked for her due to the great experience we had previously. We would highly recommend this dealership and Sara specifically.
Just custom ordered a new 2019 Ram truck. Ben Anderson was awesome to work with. He took the time to make sure everything was taken care of for me. Could not be happier. Absolutely no buyers remorse.
You guys did a great job again awesome place To bring your vehicles for anything you need done. Very professional at a fair price. See you soon
Great experiance. Ben Anderson was very easy to work with and helped us step by step with our purchase of our new Grand Cherokee Overland. We will be back.
They treated me like a friend, rather than dollar signs. They will be my new go to for future car purchased moving forward for me.
Great experience with Ben and Ben. We have bought our last 2 vehicles here at Cornerstone in Elk River, that says alot for a company when they have repeat customers and Ben was there both times. Long time employees, repeat customers that's Cornerstone
The people are great. The service is great They even give you a free car wash with even the smallest service. They don't get 5 stars because the wait time was 4 weeks for an appointment. That is far too long to be without working transportation. I had to go elsewhere when my truck was not driveable.
I have worked with the Cornerstone Dealerships and Service Departments for over 10 years. I have experienced the "typical" treatment of other dealerships and Cornerstone blows their competition out of the water! Keith in Sales, Connor, Chris, and Jeff in Commercial Service are true assets to the Cornerstone brand. Keep up the great work!
Brought my truck in for some recalls and a few other things that needed to be done. Great communication and very friendly staff. Will definitely be using them for all of my vehicle needs.
Brought our van in with a few bugs that needed to be looked at after this past brutal winter. Connor got me in and out with great communication and I picked it up next day good as new.
Great experience, service advisor was nice and pleasant too talk with. They fixed everything in a timely manner, no worries. Very professional, no attitudes. If you have a warranty issue, they do there best to get it resolved. The very best dealer I've delt with, when it comes to service or warranty issues.
Sara was so helpful and honest...did not qualify for a vehicle at this time but when I'm ready to buy I'm definitely going to her again.
We had a great experience working with Mike. He made everything so simple for us. The team worked together to get us the best finance option. We will be back again!
I had by far the BEST experience ever. Danny was the BEST EVER, make sure you ask for him. So happy- I will be back!!!!
We have been dealing with Cornerstone since 2015 and have purchased 3 vehicles from them now. Very good customer service in all departments. They listen, unlike some other local dealers. We highly recommend them.
We had the most wonderful experience working with Mike Zwilling. He helped us get a vehicle the same day we came in and made our visit from Brainerd well worth the drive! We will definitely be going back to see him for our next vehicle! I would highly recommend this place to all my family and friends! Thanks again Mike!!!!
Always treated fairly From good people at a fair price I like their planning they always get my car done on time I would never take my car anywhere else I feel I always get treated righ!!
It was great working with Mike Zwilling on our new 2019 Jeep Rubicon! We have purchased several vehicles from Mike and as usual, it was great!
We are very thankful for Cornerstone. We didn’t feel this way 3 years ago when the dealer was under different management. Since then management has changed and has become superb. We have now purchased 3 different vehicles from this dealer and will continue to do so. Thank you to everyone at the dealer including Connor the service manager. Without him, we would still be stuck in a lemon.
Had 8 recalls done in less than 24 hours. Truck runs great now. Bernie was great. Just leased a 2019 Ford Edge and had nothing but a pleasant experience with Danny G. Helped us through our struggle and worked to get us a great deal. It’s appreciated.
Andrea was very thorough in helping me understand what was wrong with my vehicle and what needed to be done! Andrea helped answer my questions (which was a lot) and got things done very quickly and efficiently. The whole service area is comforting if you need to wait and extremely convenient and put together!
I recently worked with Roy at Chevy cornerstone. He got me driving the truck of my dreams and did it with class and professionalism. Couldn’t be more pleased with my experience
I don't think I have ever been treated as well, ever! I have a commercial account. They picked up my vehicle, evaluated what was needed, explained it clearly, did all the work and returned my vehicle to my office. They even offered to help out on my wife's vehicle airbag recall if I continued to have difficulty with the Lincoln dealer. In the future I'll be purchasing all my vehicles from Cornerstone.
Sarah was very helpful when it came down to choosing vehicles. She was very personalble and fun to shop with! I will definitely be coming back for my next vehicle.
Jeff was great in the main service lane. There was a recall on the ram truck and he was able to do that one recall along with 3 others! He kept me informed of the progress the whole time!
Was great service and very friendly staff as always. I have used the service team before and always been happy and satisfied with the service there.
My service was excellent on this dodge ram eric was my adviser was graeat. I refer more peple to come here for serivce and sales .
Great experience in ordering a new Ram. Josh Simms was a standup salesman with a tremendous amount of knowledge with the vehicle I needed. The paperwork was simple. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes after I showed up to pick up my new truck. Highly recommended!
Our salesman Mike Zwilling was great to work with. Gave us great advice and helped us find the best vehicle to fit our needs. Great customer service!!
Gerald was the sales representative and he made us feel welcomed right when we walked in the door. This helped with us deciding to purchase at Cornerstone. Most importantly the dealership is Christian owned!! I would highly recommend this dealership.
We had a very good experience at this dealership. Pleasant atmosphere, courteous employees. Definitely trust them with the work they did and for any service in the future. Highly recommended. They even reimbursed us for the tow truck cost!
