OUR STORY
Even though the name Cornerstone is relatively new, we are a family owned business that has been around for nearly 60 years. The company was founded in the early 1960’s with Brookdale Ford, in Brooklyn Center, the largest Ford dealership in Minnesota for more than 35 years. We have been pursuing excellence ever since. Over time, the company expanded to include auto dealerships and operations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota.
In 1972 we acquired Elk River Ford, our longest continually serving location. We expanded in Elk River with a Chrysler and Dodge franchise, followed by Jeep, and finally KIA. Since 2010, Cornerstone has added a pre-owned location in Plymouth and a Chevrolet dealership in Monticello.
Cornerstone Automotive has become a sustainable and dependable business, however, we refuse to stand still. Change is constant, maybe more so in the car business. Customer preferences, economic conditions, new car models, transportation habits, competition, and technology are constantly reshaping the auto landscape. Even though there will always be adapting, our values hold true. Determination, hard work, doing what’s right, striving always to improve, and a deep commitment to serving others – these are the things that will continue to define who we are and what we do.
We are honored to serve everyone. We live our values through our actions. Our workforce is the most valuable asset we have and the reason for our success. That is why we are proud of being recognized by our employees as a Minnesota Top Workplace. We are family run and treat our customers the way we want to be treated. Please allow us the opportunity to help you get to where you’re going!

I have purchased several vehicles from Keith Osman and I continue to come back because of the friendship we've created throughout the years.Yesterday, I took delivery of my new Jeep Rubicon. The entire process from appraisal, to Keith finding the perfect new Jeep for me, through the purchase and delivery went incredibly smooth. Thank you to the entire staff at Cornerstone. Rich L.

From start to finish, Really down to earth people, I've dealt with other dealerships before, but I can tell anybody looking for a new or used, give this dealership a look at.

Sarah Artman was my Sales Rep and did a great job. Had the exact trucks I was interested in looking at lined up and ready to test drive. Often time buying a car can be quite time consuming, however the Sarah and her team helped me get in and out with what I needed.

I had a wonderful and positive experience at Cornerstone. I wasn’t sure what type of vehicle I wanted and I can be a bit picky, but Duane Fletcher did an amazing job helping me. He was kind and patience and I didn’t feel pressured. Duane was genuine and worked hard to help me find the right vehicle. I’d highly recommend shopping at Cornerstone! Nothing but good things to say about their dealerships!

The car buying experience is not always a fun one but Duane Fletcher did an amazing job helping us sort out all of questions and concerns as well as made it enjoyable. He listened intently and and recommended based off of what we needed. And at first they didn't have exactly what we were looking for but Duane made such an impression on us that we only wanted to buy through him and from Cornerstone. We will continue buy from and recommend Cornerstone and especially Duane Fletcher as our go to for vehicle needs.

So I went in to cornerstone looking for an impala, couldn’t get. So than they helped me( Wayne Dietz) with the car financing. This took awhile, after that I came back after 3 weeks of waiting to hear back from the banks and, finally got approved. Than came in to look at some cars saw a Dodge Challenger, and started all the paper work, after about 2 1/2 hours of waiting, finally got to sign the paperwork and on my way out. Thanks to Wayne Dietz I was able to get a new car. Really recommend this dealership they really care about ...

Found a great fun car here. Our salesperson (David Biren) was great to work with. I had an unusual situation with our trade in and he was able to work with me to get the deal done. He made the trip from Elk River to Maple Grove to help in me signing the papers. Had the car all cleaned up when we took delivery. The dealership is new and modern. Made buying a used car during the COVID pandemic worry free. Would definitely deal with them again.
