Chad Troxell

We have always enjoyed our time with Chad. He is super friendly and always comes to visit us when we are waiting for our oil change. He remembers our names and details about our family and us. We give Chad 5 stars.

Chad Troxel is the man!

Couldn't have hoped for a better vehicle purchasing experience. Chad Troxel was amazing to work with! He went above a beyond to find me exactly what I wanted and with the payment I wanted. Not your typical pushy sellman who only cares about commissions. He did such a great job when I bought my new truck a couple months later I sent him a short email stating that my wife and I were thinking about upgrading her to a new Equinox. With in 10 minutes of sending the email Chad called me. The next day my wife and I drove to the dealership to sign papers on her new Nox! No wait, no hassle what so ever, Chad had everything done and ready to go.

Chad Troxell did an awesome job for us!

Chad Troxell did an awesome job for us when we leased our car in May 2017! He was very thorough in his explanation of the leasing process, and took as much time as we needed to check out the vehicle.

Chad Troxell is the best saleman I have ever met.

I have recommend him to everyone at my job. So if you need help contact Chad Troxell, Lafayette Indiana. DeFouw is the only place I will go now, and I have passed out Chad's card to everyone. He is very knowledgeable

Chad Troxell was so helpful!

After my daughter's car got to the point it was easier to buy than repair- especially with bad ERG valve, we reshuffled the family cars and needed a "new to us" car. After doing the necessary research and getting a preauthorized loan, we went looking. Chad Troxell at Defouw was extremely helpful and professional. He listened to us and helped us narrow down choices. He made sure we were aware of all of the new features and answered all of our questions. He was available to us for follow up questions and getting everything in order. We purchased a 2016 Chevy Cruz. When the hailstorm hit Lafayette a month after we purchased the car, Chad reached out and helped set us up with the service department to remove numerous dents. We would highly recommend Chad to anyone looking for a new vehicle.
