It's hard to find an SUV under 15k but this is one of the nicest ones I have seen in a while. Heated seats. Well maintained. Message me for more info.

Congratulations Eric Maubach on becoming our March Employee of the Month! Eric is a true team player, always willing to help in any way he can. Furthermore, he always does the right thing, like picking up trash on the lot when he thinks no one is watching. Way to go, Eric!

Did you Know?

“Harry developed a dedicated clientele by being available practically around the clock to meet the needs of his customers, according to my mother, who described his long hours in that 1961 La Crosse Tribune interview. He left home most days at 5:00 am and often did not return until 1:00 am without even breaking for lunch. It was such a hands-on business that my dad got up out of bed at night to replace keys for customers who had lost them. One night a farmer named Church called him because he needed gas for his Tin Lizzie, something only available then at the Dahl store. After buying one of two dollars’ worth at some ungodly hour of the night, the farmer said, “Charge it,” and got in his car. I’m sure that frustrated Dad, but he understood the importance of serving his customers.”

Getting to Know: Doug Ireland

Meet Doug Ireland, one of our Service Advisors. Doug came to Dahl in 2019 after working as a Service Manager at another dealership. Before that, he sold products to dealerships, making him part of the car business for a total of 30 years!

Doug was born and raised in Burlington and moved to Davenport 10 years ago. He’s been with his partner in crime, Pam, for 15 years. He has a son, two daughters, and two grandchildren. In his free time, he enjoys hunting, flea market hunting, and working on his 1967 Chevelle. His biggest passion is collecting historical artifacts. He collects antique saws and uses them as decorations in his home. His living room has 20 saws on the walls, including a windmill decoration made entirely of them. His biggest collection, however, is his antique rifle collection. He has many WWII rifles, some even earlier. They each tell a story, his favorite being his 1910 Mosin-Nagant. He has dedicated an entire room to his 75 antique rifles. If a militia is ever needed in the US, Doug would most likely be their commander.

Doug likes going on road trips. He says he likes driving - not flying - so he can see more. He loves visiting historical sights or going anywhere in the desert. He would love to see Alaska someday (although he thinks he might not want to come back!) Anytime you ask Doug how he’s doing he always responds with “peachy”, or “I’m a peach”. Next time you see Doug, be sure to say “Sup Sup”!
