Meet the Schimmer Service Team!

We’re proud to introduce the team that keeps our customers moving and takes care of their vehicles from the first oil change to major repairs. (Left to right: Chad Ensor, Erik Bodmer, Nicole Grinka, & Erin Lauer)

And we’re especially excited to welcome back Erin Lauer!!

Erin has been part of the Schimmer family before, and we’re excited to have her back with us and now as part of our Service Department. If you’ve worked with Erin before, you know the bubbly personality and customer-first approach she brings to the team.

Next time your vehicle needs service, stop in and see the team. And while you’re here, make sure you say hi to Erin and give her a warm welcome back!

When you drive a ton for work, you need a truck that can keep up! Logan made the trip all the way from Wisconsin to find the exact truck he was looking for, a 2023 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss.

Congrats, Logan! Thanks for making the trip and trusting us with your purchase. Enjoy the new ride!

At Schimmer Chevrolet, we're proud to support the next generation of athletes through the Chevy Youth Sports program!

We're honored to sponsor the Mendota Matadors youth baseball program and help provide local kids with the opportunity to learn, grow, and enjoy the game they love. Youth sports teach teamwork, dedication, sportsmanship, and confidence—values that extend far beyond the baseball field.

We're grateful to be part of a community that invests in its young athletes and wanted to congratulate the Matadors on an great season!
