Boardwalk Auto
When you pull up on a crisp winter day, you'll find rows of vehicles with their prices displayed right there on the windshield—no guessing games, no surprises when you walk inside. Back in 2003, the team demolished an old house that served as their office and built a proper 5000 square foot showroom to handle a growing inventory both indoors and out. A couple years later, they made the leap to a rural Highway 14 location on what used to be a produce stand, trading their Northwest Rochester roots for wide open space and room to breathe. That move in 2005 gave them the acreage needed to expand their wholesale operation and stock more deals. Over more than a decade, they've built a new shop and kept evolving, but the core mission hasn't budged: hunting down safe, dependable vehicles and pricing them to move. There's something about finding a genuine bargain on a cold Minnesota afternoon that makes the drive out here worth it.
