Holz Motors

Hales Corners was named by a relative of Nathan Hale, the famous Revolutionary War hero. But there's another name on a business on South Highway 100 that's just as famous in the automotive world: Holz, as in Holz Motors. According to records kept by the state and reported by the Wisconsin Automobile and Truck Dealers Association, Holz Motors sells the most new Chevrolets of any Chevrolet dealer in the State. It's a feat that Holz has accomplished annually since 1986.

While Holz is a modern, well-equipped facility with a large inventory and an impressive showroom, it's record breaking sales rely more on home-spun philosophies and traditional customer-driven practices than on anything else. Owner Jerome J.("Jerry") Holz wouldn't have it any other way. Jerry was born into the automobile business, the last of 5 children of the founders Rudolph and Gertrude Holz. Jerry, has seen the automobile business change from the days when his father sold gas delivered by horse drawn wagon to today's computer age.
