It's been a rough year for me- as a 25 year old- I had my car totaled, my new car stolen and I was at a loss for where to start (again). I walked into dealerships with a fixed budget and no idea what I wanted. I made my trek up from Winona MN to the cities to look at a bunch of cars at a variety of dealerships- which is a task not for the weak.
Buerkle Honda was my 3rd or 4th destination and that's where I met Wes Schurter, near the coffee machine. Immediately he reminded me of my uncle, a comforting paternal figure that could joke around while getting the job done. I told him about my plight and he worked with me on finding a car that could work for me.
He was honest about what cars he would recommend and not recommend. We managed to find a perfect car that is compatible for me AND my budget (a 2016 Subaru Impreza). He talked to the finance department a handful of times and we worked to put the car on hold and communicated wonderfully the whole time- never letting me think that I'd leave the dealership without this car.
When the numbers game was over, he was kind enough to stay late as I drove back up to sign the paperwork and even helped drop off the rental I was using back at Enterprise. Wes is a down to earth guy who genuinely wants to make sure you get a car that works best for you. Recently, Wes texted to remind me that my plates had arrived at Buerkle Honda- and offered to put them on my car if I had wanted.
I had a very positive experience at Buerkle Honda, especially with Wes as my go-to car salesman. I HIGHLY recommend working with him. I hope to not have any more car issues but (knock on wood) if it so happens- I will be be a returning customer.
Be sure to give Wes some good coffee or even a raise!! Thank you for a friendly and not intimidating experience!

I had a good experience buying my used Passport. Jon my salesman helped me out and gave me a deal on Zurich package. One thing that I could use help with getting the navigation to work properly. I can get a rout put in easy but it shows it from outer space not close and when I zoom in it missed it up. I hope when I get a chance to read more in the manual I'll be able to work it out.

Buerkle Honda has been part of my family for the last 25 years, and they truly feel like family.
My family and I have been buying Hondas from Buerkle Honda for generations and it started with Neal Eldridge! We’ve had Odysseys, Accords, Pilots, Civics, and even more than one of the same color and models over the years. We keep coming back to Honda because they are reliable, safe, practical, and built to last.
I’ve owned fancier vehicles in the past, and honestly, I’ve learned that you don’t necessarily need all the bells and whistles. Give me a Honda with great safety features, reliability, and a vehicle I know I can count on for years. After being in five car accidents, safety is especially important to me. I always want to be in a Honda because I trust the vehicle to protect me and my family.
I also learned the hard way that taking my vehicle to quick-service places like Valvoline or other general mechanics isn’t always worth it. I ended up having to bring my vehicle back to the dealership multiple times to have things properly addressed. Buerkle Honda’s Service Department has been incredibly patient and hardworking throughout that process.
I purchased my vehicle used from another dealership and unfortunately, it had quite a bit of maintenance and work that should have been taken care of many miles earlier. The service team has put a lot of time, patience, and effort into getting my vehicle taken care of, and I am genuinely grateful.
I drive about 45 minutes to have my vehicle serviced at Buerkle Honda, and it has been worth every single mile, every single time. I could choose somewhere closer, but the trust I have in this dealership and their service department is worth the drive.
Thank you to everyone at Buerkle Honda Service Department for your patience, hard work, and dedication. I appreciate all of you more than you know. Buerkle Honda has always felt like family to me, and after 25 years, that means a lot.
We were ready to buy a 2026 Honda CR-V so I contacted several dealers and Bryan Herr at Buerkle was the first to respond in a very timely manner. He replied with a very fair price. I had a question and again he was quick to respond. We then made an appointment for that same day to test drive the car we selected. We met Bryan for that test drive and he answered all our questions and subsequently we started the purchase process for that car. We had indicated the car was for my wife so he made sure to direct any conversation towards her and did so very politely and genuinely. When we came back to pick up the car Bryan was very good at explaining all the technology and helped my wife get things set up where she was comfortable with it. Our overall experience with the Buerkle staff - receptionist, other sales staff, finance, etc... - was exceptional, and especially Bryan!

I’m from out of town—Utah. I noticed a noise in my Honda CRV and headed over to Buerkle since when I lived here some years ago, I knew the dealership. I was met by a service tech named Milo. I did not have an appointment. Nevertheless, I told him of my problem. He listened patiently and explained that perhaps the best he could do was to inspect the vehicle. He did better than that. He located someone to take it for a test drive. Afterward, it was put on a hoist and the offending refuse was cut from around my front right pinion—whatever that is. He assured me that although they saw no “leakage”I would be wise to let a tech look at it on my next checkup in Utah. I had a couple other issues taken care while I used the waiting room. When I went to settle up, Milo found that I still had some credit left over from when I used to live here. Suddenly, my day went from potential disaster to utter relief. Please thank Milo for me. If you treat an out-of-towner like this, locals can rest assured.
