Community-Focused Patrick Auto Group Serves Starke County
Patrick Auto Group is more than an auto shop. It stands as a trusted cornerstone of the community it serves. From the moment you walk through the doors, it’s clear that the work done here goes well beyond fixing vehicles. The shop plays a vital role in keeping families safe on the road, supporting local businesses and showing up for neighbors when they need reliable, honest service. Beyond service and repairs, Patrick Auto Group also helps community members get behind the wheel through affordable vehicle financing, making dependable transportation more accessible for individuals and families alike.
Every vehicle that passes through represents a person, a story and a responsibility. This dedication to care, integrity and community is what truly defines Patrick Auto Group’s impact.
After moving from Marshall County in 1992 with his parents, Jerry and Marlene Patrick, owner Jeremiah Patrick has proudly called Starke County home ever since. When you visit Patrick Auto Group in search of a reliable used automobile, you aren’t just treated as a customer; you are treated as family. Jeremiah understands the importance of family, and this value is displayed throughout all aspects of the business. This atmosphere is also easily recognized in the down-to-earth, close-knit working rapport of the employees, which provides a smooth experience for the consumer.
For many, when purchasing a new automobile, one of the biggest concerns is financing. Patrick Auto Group understands this and offers options to help customers get financed. All financing plans have a term of three years, which ensures payments are not drawn out over many years.
“Financing the future, not the past isn’t just our motto, it’s actually what we are striving to do for people who purchase from us,” says general manager Sherry Whittaker.
The buy-here, pay-here convenience is an advantage that many can appreciate. Having an initial low down payment along with affordable weekly payments is a huge plus for people with the desire to establish or build their credit. Focusing 100% on the customer makes the purchase of an automobile a stress-free experience. All vehicles purchased come with a six-month/7,500-mile/50-50 parts-and-labor warranty.
Starting as a local business in 2015, Patrick Auto Group has seen expansion benefiting both the business and the community. In addition to sales, the shop can also service your automobile regardless of the place of purchase, using either diagnostics or inspection. The maintenance department has grown to 10 service bays, which are staffed by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) certified technicians who ensure that your automobile is serviced and maintained to the highest standards.
A recent addition to the department is a brand-new, state-of-the-art four-wheel alignment machine. Having your wheels properly aligned ensures true rotation. Lube and oil technicians are available to service and inspect your vehicle and get you quickly on your way. This service helps ensure you are ready for the cold months of winter or a long road trip during the summer.
Partnering with Advance Auto, Patrick Auto Group is the only dealer in Starke County that is a member of the TechNet Professional Automotive Service Center network. This program provides a nationwide limited repair warranty for 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, for qualifying repairs performed.
Along with maintenance, cosmetic work can also be completed at Patrick Auto Group. Paint, body and detail shops are available to keep the appearance of your car looking its best, as well as to repair physical damage when needed. First responders and active military members receive discounts for services provided.
Patrick Auto Group has remained a valuable asset to Starke County. In addition to serving everyday consumers, the business also holds several fleet service accounts with the city of Knox, ensuring that vehicles are readily available to provide necessary city services and maintenance.
Serving the community of Starke County since 2015, Patrick Auto Group is a trusted destination for sales and service when the need arises to purchase a vehicle or repair an existing one.
