One of the least stressful and most pleasant experiences I’ve had acquiring a new vehicle. Many thanks to Steve Donald and the Deery staff. I look forward to continuing the journey with you!

My husband and I drove over 1 hour to this Deery dealership. We came prepared to buy a new 2025 Nissan Kicks. We couldn’t ask for a better car buying experience! Steve and the finance manager took great care of us! Steve was very professional and knowledgeable. He went over the technology for the vehicle and answered our questions. Every car dealership should have a “Steve”. 😁

I live in Chicago and worked with multiple dealerships in my area to try to find the exact car (trim level, interior/exterior color combo) that I wanted. After having my deposit on file with a Chicago-area dealership for TWO months, they finally turned to me and said that they just couldn't get the car that I wanted any time soon. So I expanded my search area, which led me to Deery. Luckily, they had the exact car that I wanted already headed their way from the factory on the freight truck, and I was able to snag it. The sales rep that I worked with was Steve Donald, and he was excellent. He was very communicative, honest, and made me feel like he valued my business. When it came time to pick up my new car, my parents drove me out to Deery (an approximately 3 1/2 hour drive). All of us were impressed with the dealership itself, and with all of the staff that we encountered. My dad even said that next time he needs a new car, he'll consider buying it from Deery, even though there are countless dealerships closer to where he lives! Steve spent probably close to an hour showing me some of the key features on/in my new car, which was very helpful before I hit the highway to make the long drive back home. I highly recommend Deery, ESPECIALLY if you're feeling frustrated/strung along by other dealerships! Five stars!

I called about a car they had advertised. The sales manager referred me to one of his sales man, Steve. I had some questions about equipment on the car over the phone. Steve went to insure the vehicle was there and was what I was looking for. We arranged a time to meet and look at the car. Steve had the car ready and we test drove it and they looked at my trade. We rapidly made a deal on the car and met Brandon the sales manager. I purchased an extended warranty, financed the car and departed the dealership 4 hrs later. Very pleasant experience.

As a former auto dealer myself, I only patronize dealers who do not overcharge (Toyota tax) with forced add-ons or fees. It’s rare in today’s (sellers) market. Why? Because they can. I’m happy to report that Deery Brothers makes the cut. Steve Donald was a pleasure to work with and the entire RAV4 transaction was quick, easy and transparent. Appreciate Steve staying past close on a Friday eve and not rushing any of the process. We also met the owner who was busily working / leading by example at a dealership who values customer relationships. Old school values that are appreciated and will ensure their success in the future.

Our recent experience was very very good. We have dealt with Deery Brothers several times and have worked with Steve Donald in purchasing 3 of our most recent automobiles. Assuming that Deery Brothers continues their history with us of fair and honest dealing we will be purchasing another new vehicle through Steve in 2025.

Getting my first car was a pretty cool experience, and I gotta give a shoutout to Steve Donald for being an awesome salesperson. Seriously, he knew his stuff and made the whole process easy. From helping me choose the right car to sorting out all the paperwork, he was on point. Thanks to Steve, buying my first car was a breeze!

Steve was very patient with our requests and was able to quickly pivot when the computer system went down. He continued to give us the best service while IT got the computer back up and running. I would definitely return to buy another car from Steve and I trust his opinion and guidance.

I have bought multiple vehicles in my life so far and my most recent was the best experience yet!! I bought my dream truck (a Toyota Tacoma) with the help of Steve Donald and let’s just say one thing above all! Steve is the best of the best salesmen! I didn’t feel pressured or stressed and Steve was so kind and answered all of our questions with the UTMOST understanding. He was not only very kind but was the most helpful and personable salesperson I have ever met. My husband and I felt very comfortable during the entire duration of the visit and seriously couldn’t be happier overall! Not only did I drive away with my dream truck but we also walked away with a new found friendship. A huge thank you to Deery Brothers and a very personal thank you to our new buddy Steve!

Steve Donald was extremely patient, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I felt no pressure into buying anything, I was exploring my options and Steve kindly guided me through the process. And at the end was able to find the perfect car for me.

Our salesperson, Steve, was excellent. I truly hate the car buying experience, but Steve was laid back and didn’t pressure us at all. He even expedited the sales process so we were able to leave in time to pick up our son from daycare. Three cheers for Steve!

The worst dealer I’ve ever interacted with, flat out. They had a vehicle I wanted so I called them and was informed they only do wire transfers or after 10 days and a cashiers check clears they would release the car. That’s not business works. The only good thing they did for me when I arrived was pick me up at the airport. When I first went to look at the vehicle I was told “we just did a detail on it” popped the hood and it was dirtier than all get out. The vehicle had residue on the trunk lid from what looked like a sticker but since I was driving 7 hours back I said “guess it’s kinda late for a detail”. Went into the finance office to sign paperwork and was originally told they’d do my title papers and send them to me in the mail but I had already confirmed with Tim that I’d be leaving that day title and keys in hand. Kyle went to confirm and then handed me back the title and said it was all good. I asked if it had been filled out and he said I should have no issues. I drive the car to a food place to wait out the tornado warning and when I went to move the car at the restaurant the vehicle wouldn’t start. Battery cables were loose, tightened them up enough and went back to the dealer to tighten them up completely and then realized the wiper blades were about as old as the car. Drove off and for 7 hours the car had no issues on the way home. The following day I went to put the vehicle in my name and couldn’t because the title was not filled out. I had to overnight the title back to the dealer and then they sent it back but didn’t cover the charge, even though it was their mistake. Then when I went to take a look at the car realized all of the rotors on the car were basically trash and the barrels on the wheels looked liked they’d never been cleaned. Positive note Steve and Kyle were nice, downside their company sucks and the excuse “that’s policy” was used. I hope this is an oddity but I cannot recommend this dealer to anyone. In fact I’ve instructed a few people to steer clear and go somewhere else.

We were looking for a Cadillac XT5. They had several to choose from. No other dealer we looked at on the internet had the amount of vehicles Deery had. I talked to Steve Donald. Made an appointment to look and purchase. Steve and everyone else that helped us there was very thorough and explained everything. Before leaving my phone, radio system and Onstar were set up and ready to use. Steve comes highly recommended . We’ll be back for future purchases. Not only did we buy an amazing vehicle, we also gained a friend.

I was refer to Deery Brothers by a trusted friend. The rest is history. They have magic to make someone like me feel very comfortable which is very rare when I am dealing with most of sales in other dealership. One thing close the deal for me is, in today's market when everything is in shortage, they actually have the car I want in stock. For 100 year old dealership, their website is also very tech savvy, super fast, updated and easy to use. Thanks to Steve Donald for special service to answer out of town buyer endless questions. Highly recommended!

I was blessed to have Steve Donald as my salesman. He was awesome! I called ahead of time to let him know what vehicles I wanted to test drive and he had them up front and ready to be driven. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Spent the whole morning working with me to get the vehicle I wanted and I couldn’t be more pleased!

Stopped in Deery Brothers actually by accident and met Steve Donald. So glad we did! Looking for an extra car, he made the experience effortlessly. He was very friendly and attentive to what we were looking for. We never felt pressured. I highly recommend talking to Steve Donald with any and all car questions. We will definitely go back to Deery Brothers in the future.

I purchased the 2015 Equinox from Deery Brothers in West Burlington, IA. My fiancé and I liked the vehicle during our test drive, but we felt very manipulated and rushed in our decision making process. We came in to test drive a 2014 Traverse that was listed for $13,500. We made it clear to our salesman Steve Donald, that we wanted to be lower than that price, or right at that price if the deal was right with the mileage on the vehicle, year, and any problems with the vehicle. We really liked the Traverse and were told that “they” couldn’t make it work in our price range. We were told that “he”, I’m guessing the sales manager, brought the price all the way down to what the dealership had into the car, and still couldn’t make the deal work. Franticly, our salesman said that there may be a deal that they could make work; we had to go because I had to get to work. We saw the list price of $16,100 on the window of the vehicle and knew that that was not in our price range. Steve made the comment that “he” is coming way down on the price for this vehicle and that “he” doesn’t usually do this. He was really pushy and forceful that I made this deal. I have never in my life met someone as passive-aggressive as Steve Donald. I have never in my years of purchasing vehicles, which I have purchased my fair share, have ever felt so manipulated, mislead, and disrespected as I did at Deery Brothers. I felt as if I were being discriminated against due to my age, which is 22 years of age, with the way the salesman was talking to me and the way everything was misleading. I could not even get an oil change because Steve told me that it can damage a vehicle if it is changed before the oil percent is below 10%. I have never heard of such a thing before, I just wanted a fresh oil change, along with the free one I will receive in the next 6,000 miles. I did not want to have to come back in 1,000 miles just for the oil change, since I live one hour away. Steve refused to help us out on that. Steve again insisted that we were getting a good deal and did not make any mention of the price of the vehicle after I asked repeatedly. I asked and he would distract us with the car buying process and repeatedly used the phrase “you are getting a good deal.” I then went into the financing office and began to sign more paper work. I was told that the price was going to be $22,000 and some old dollars, but since we put $500 down, it was going to be $21,000 and some odd dollars. I was a little leery on the price, as I did not want to be higher than $20,000 all in with the left over from the Sonic that I traded in plus the gap insurance and the extended warranty that was mentioned. My thought process was that I was getting the equinox for the $13,500, which was the price of the Traverse, plus the $5,500 left over inequity from my previous car loan, plus the extended warranty and gap insurance, leaving me at the $21,000 in debt that was mentioned in the financing office. When I got home and looked at the financing papers we noticed that I was in fact $26,000 in debt which was not what I thought was agreed upon and was not what we wanted at all. This price was never mentioned, and this is why I feel manipulated and mislead during the whole process. When I saw that, I just wanted to opt out of everything. This deal was very misleading to say the least, and I couldn’t even get a full tank of gas. I felt like Steve was very unprofessional with his words. I mentioned that I had filled up the car the previous day and wanted at least the 12 gallons in the new vehicle. Steve said that could not happen so I made the joke that I was going to syphon the gas out of the Sonic, since they couldn’t give us a full tank, and Steve said “be my guest.” I find it very hard for me to recommend this place to someone as we feel very manipulated, blinded, and I was not treated with any respect, I have never in my life had such a bad experience purchasing anything. I am posting this review on behalf of myself, and Derric Littlefield, who purchased the vehicle.

We road tripped 2 hours on a Saturday morning, after finding a few camaro convertibles online. We were met by Steve Donald, who gave us specs on every camaro they had on the lot. He was thourough, not pushy, asked questions, listened, and got us in a test drive within 20 minutes. Finance was a breeze. He took the time to call a lender and ask him to knock off a few months of the term. Saving us $2500. AWESOME! Straight forward dealer.
