Illinois Times, a free weekly newspaper distributed throughout Sangamon County and surrounding areas, has published the results of their annual “Best of Springfield” reader poll, and Isringhausen Imports took top honors in several categories: Best Auto Dealer (New), Best Auto Dealer (Used), and Best Auto Salesperson (Brian Mitchell).

Isringhausen would like to thank everyone who voted for us! It means a lot to be recognized by our customers and the community.

Isringhausen Imports received a lovely profile from the editors. Here’s an excerpt: “Isringhausen Imports is a big part of Springfield's historic downtown, where it's been in business since 1981. With a campus sprawling from Second and Fourth streets to Madison and Washington streets, the auto dealership and service departments occupy a large physical presence. But beyond that, the company is committed to making a solid contribution to the Springfield community…”

Brian Mitchell was given the opportunity to reflect on his 30+ years of service with the company. "I try to offer the same quality of service to all customers, irrespective of what they are spending," he said. "What has helped my success is that Isringhausen actually has a national customer base, in addition to a strong local presence."
