John F. Bergstrom, Executive Chairman of Bergstrom Automotive stated, “We are honored to represent Lexus in the Madison market.

Lexus, a luxury automotive manufacturer founded in 1989, has built a global reputation for precision, reliability, and technologically advanced premium vehicles combined with exceptional customer service. Bergstrom Automotive’s focus on exceptional guest treatment combines extremely well with the Lexus brand. Bergstrom Automotive’s Lexus location in Appleton has earned the prestigious Elite of Lexus Award for 23 consecutive years.

Bergstrom’s new Lexus facility is located at 8000 Airport Road in Middleton and is now open for business as “Bergstrom Lexus of Madison.”
