Friendly Chevrolet and myself have over 14 years of experience together and it's always been the easiest Chevrolet dealership to buy or lease a vehicle from in Minnesota. We have dedicated Service, Parts and Body Shop employees to assure our customers are satisfied after the sale and they do a great job of keeping them coming back year after year. Friendly Chevrolet has been the #1 Chevrolet Dealership in Minnesota for the last 15 years and thank you to all of our customers that helped us achieve that record. In my time off I'm active in Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and almost any activity that the great State of Minnesota provides. If you need a New Chevrolet or any type of Used vehicle please contact me. We have immense resources when it comes to getting the hard to find inventory when others can't. Previous customer or just looking for a great buy please stop in or contact me anytime. I'll make your purchase as easy and stress free as possible and make sure you are 100% Satisfied!

Dion Kennedy
Title: Sales Professional
Email Dion

 Hello. My name is Dion but my friends and customers just call me D, which is good because then I don't have to spell it. I've had the pleasure of being at Friendly Chevrolet for well over 25 years. I've met thousands of nice people working here and have had many customers become good friends. It may be an old story, but my parents taught me to "Treat people how you would want to be treated" and that philosophy has guided me well. I pride myself on my "service after the sale" and I believe my customers feel comfort in the fact that I'm going to be here if they have a problem down the road. I'm assuming this is why the majority of my business comes from previous customers and referrals, of which I greatly appreciate. I've helped many customers that were once young parents and am now helping their children. There's no better thrill for me than to help someone pick out the car of their dreams, maybe I can help you too.

Mike Day
Title: Sales Consultant

Email Mike

My name is Mike Day, I have been in the automotive business since 1996 and with Friendly Chevrolet since 2004. I'm very proud to be apart of the #1 Chevrolet dealership in Minnesota for the past 15 years. Pride comes not so much from the being #1 but what it takes to stay there year after year. First, it comes from a commitment of excellence from the whole "Friendly team." That means all employee's and departments, sales, business, parts, body shop and service working as a team to make the buying and ownership experience second to none. It is a great environment to work in and this is passed on to the customer, which is one of the main reasons 85% of our business is repeat and referral.
  If you are in the market for a new or pre-owned vehicle come in and see us, no dealership has a better inventory of both new and used. You will have a great experience, and if you have previously purchased from us, stop in for a visit. We always love to see old friends. The popcorn, soda, and coffee is free. I love working here and I'm focused on not just selling you a car but developing a mutually beneficial relationship where you always feel comfortable with us handling all your automotive needs.
