Every vehicle in the Jim Riehl's Friendly Automotive network — new, certified pre-owned and used — is listed in a single searchable inventory, so you compare across all six stores instead of clicking between seven separate dealer websites. Inventory refreshes from each store's live feed every morning, and each listing carries the stock number, VIN, mileage, drivetrain, fuel economy, factory and dealer-added equipment, and the store that physically has the car.
We are a family-run Michigan dealer group, not a national chain. The same people who sell you the vehicle handle your service visits, your next trade and, in many cases, your kids' first cars. That is the reason we publish pricing detail, savings breakdowns and window-sticker links on the vehicle page rather than hiding numbers behind a form.
What we sell and where
Franchise coverage is spread across the group, so the brand you want determines the store you visit — but the search, the pricing approach and the paperwork are the same everywhere.
- Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram — Warren, Romeo (Washington Township) and Lapeer
- Ford — Charlevoix, serving northern Michigan
- Honda and Cadillac — Clinton Township on Hall Road
- Commercial trucks and upfit chassis — Lapeer
- Certified pre-owned and used vehicles of all makes — every location
How buying works here
Start online. Filter by condition, year, make, model, body style, price, mileage, drivetrain, transmission, fuel type, color and equipment, then save favorites or compare vehicles side by side. When something fits, submit the form on the vehicle page or call the store directly; the lead goes to that dealership's sales desk, not a call center.
From there the sequence is straightforward: confirm the vehicle is still available, agree on the out-the-door number including the $314 documentary and CVR fee, appraise your trade if you have one, choose cash or financing, and complete paperwork. Most customers who arrive with financing pre-approved and a trade already appraised are finished in about ninety minutes.
What affects the price you pay
New-vehicle pricing starts at MSRP and moves down through factory incentives and Friendly Savings to the Everyone Price shown on each listing, which already includes the $314 doc and CVR fee. Additional rebates tied to military service, first responder status, college enrollment or lease loyalty are verified in person because the manufacturer requires documentation.
Used pricing is set against live regional market data and adjusted for mileage, condition, options, history and how long the vehicle has been in stock. Certified pre-owned vehicles carry a manufacturer inspection and warranty extension, which is why a certified unit generally prices above an equivalent non-certified one.
Why buyers choose Jim Riehl's Friendly

- Transparent price breakdown with the doc and CVR fee shown before you arrive
- Factory-trained service departments at each franchise location
- In-house financing desk working with regional credit unions and captive lenders
- Trade appraisals honored whether or not you buy from us the same day
Frequently asked questions
- Can I buy a vehicle listed at a different Jim Riehl's store?
- Yes. Inventory is shared across the group and vehicles can be moved between stores in most cases. Submit the form on the vehicle page and the selling store will confirm transfer timing before you drive anywhere.
- Is the price on the website the price I pay?
- The Everyone Price shown on new vehicles includes the $314 documentary and CVR fee. Michigan sales tax, title and plate fees are added at signing, and any conditional manufacturer rebate you qualify for is applied after documentation is verified.
- How often does the online inventory update?
- Every dealership feed imports each morning, and sold vehicles are removed automatically. Because vehicles sell throughout the day, we confirm availability when you contact the store.
- Do you sell to buyers outside Michigan?
- Yes, we regularly deliver to out-of-state buyers. Titling and tax are handled for your home state, and we will send a walk-around video before you commit to travel.
