Welcome to Pritchard Family Auto Stores
Over a Century of Excellence
1913
Welcome to Pritchard Family Auto Stores, family owned and operated since 1913. Our founder, Walter S. Pritchard, and his wife, Jennie, valued family and community above all else. And Northern Iowa was the community they chose to raise their family and their auto business. The Pritchard Family Auto story is a story of five generations who have loved family, community, and the automotive industry.
Today
Since then, the dealership group has expanded to eight North Iowa locations and is continued to be owned and operated by 4th and 5th generation of the Pritchard family. To all of you – our friends, our family, our community, thank you for being part of our story. With special thanks to our extended family of employees, many of who have been with us through multiple generations of their own families! As we celebrate over 110 years of service in the industry, we continue to focus on providing a quality automotive experience from start to finish. We’re committed to our communities and our customers for generations to come!
Shannon Franke was great to work with. She took a lot of time to work with us, schedule a test drive, etc. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Compared to some 'other' car dealer sales people, Shannon was by far the best we have met. It is easy to see she is committed to customer satisfaction. A real joy to interact with.
I searched ever web site on the internet to try to find the Bronco with the exact features we wanted. Pritchard had the perfect one at a better than perfect price. Ask for Kristi, she was very honest and maintained constant communications to make sure I could be in an out as quickly as possible. I don't like working with dealerships and this might be the only one I've every delt with that was pleasant and honest. No extra fees or surprises.
Very prompt and professional sales personnel
Quite a lovely and smooth-going process at Lake Chevrolet, that I would dare to say wouldn't have been possible without Shannon F. She was consistent in the information she provided, and the follow-up; in addition to her communication, was superb! Questions asked were received with answers. Honest answers. She was exceptionally professional in demeanor while still managing to sprinkle in some kind and playful banter throughout the process. I found it was certainly welcomed during what could be a stressful process for some. Honest and true customer service!
Thank you for the excellent customer service, Blake! We appreciate the professionalism at Pritchard's and the ease of trading with you. Thanks for taking the time to clearly explain new features of our vehicle.
Had a really good experience trading pickups at this dealership. Blake was very helpful keeping in contact with me and pleasant to work with on making the deal. They are not high pressure there to finance with them or buy the extended warranty. They have a big selection and treat people right!
Today we had the best experience at Pritchards Lake Chevrolet. Shannon greeted us right away even tho it was a cold day out. We were shown what we were interested in and found our SUV. All steps in getting it done went great. Gave a great value for our trade in and now have a Trailblazer that we so appreciate. Thanks so much Shannon and the Pritchard team that made our day.
