Aug 24, 2020

Einspahr 50th Anniversary

Before a global pandemic made gathering with our community a bit difficult, Einspahr Auto was able to welcome friends, family, and employees past and present into our dealership to celebrate 50 years in business on November 7, 2019.

Keep reading as we reflect on the last 50 years, as well as that evening of celebration, memories, and gratitude.

50 Years of Serving Brookings Car Shoppers

It’s quite common to see Einspahr vehicles driving around Brookings and the surrounding area, but what you may not realize is that some of those drivers are lifelong Einspahr customers, like William Beal.

“Fair price, good service, friendly people… I enjoy doing business with Einspahr!” Beal goes on to say that he’s walked away from a lot of car deals, but he’s never walked away from Einspahr.

While Einspahr Auto began as a Ford dealership in South Dakota in 1969, over the past 50 years we’ve expanded our new inventory to include Chryslers, Dodges, Jeeps, and RAMs, plus used vehicles of all makes and models!

Even though the dealership and vehicles have changed over the years, what hasn’t changed is our commitment to serving our customers.

Einspahr Auto founder, Ron Einspahr, explains this commitment:

“I’ve always believed that if you treat others the way you want to be treated, you’ll be successful. At Einspahr, we want you as a friend and customer for a lifetime. Even if we don’t get a deal, we want to retain your friendship”

For General Manager, Matt Einspahr, it’s all about the relationships. “We do business for our customers. That’s why I’m here – for the people, customers, and relationships.”

A Night of Celebration and Memories

The evening of November 7 was a fun night at Einspahr! Tasty food, old dealership memorabilia, door prizes, and good laughs were all present.

As we celebrated 50 years in business, it was great to see so many customers, friends, and former employees take the time to congratulate us and show their appreciation for Einspahr. If you missed stopping by our 50th anniversary celebration, take a few minutes to watch the recap of the fun event!
