Cornerstone CommitmentABOUT OUR COMMITMENT

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!

After doing some research on line, I headed out to Cornerstone Ford in Elk River, MN to do a test drive. Josh Sims met me on the showroom floor and quickly set me up on the test drive, even warming up the vehicle for me. He was courteous and professional and didn't do the hard sell which I really don't like. After some negotiation and number crunching I ended up with a brand new Ford Ranger. Thanks Josh for making this deal a pleasant experience, with no buyers remorse.

In 51 of my 71years of dealing with dealerships and car salesmen, Cornerstone is in a class of it's own. NIck Johnson was not my original salesman but he went far beyond the extra mile in helping me with a 6 month problem of needing a duplicate title which I had lost before registraring my car. This was not his department or responsibility but he gladly took the time and effort to help me find out what was happening and kept in contact with me several times. He did not receive a penny for helping me which speaks volumes to the ...

Took my car in for some repairs and one being the Driver Side seatbelt. When I picked up my car today the seatbelt was working but now the seatbelt adjuster to move it up and down was not operating properly (part of the assembly). When I pulled right back into the bay to let them know, I received NO APOLOGY! Only a statement that it was a different part than the seatbelt and I would now need to bring my car back to get it reserviced/looked at for that part. Two complaints here: 1) Why did the tech not take ...
