Steve Sprung is the Buyer for the Russ Darrow Group with corporate office located in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin and dealerships in Milwaukee, Madison, and the surrounding areas. Steve started using OPENLANE in April 2010 and now purchases approximately 90% of their inventory from OPENLANE.

"I enjoy working with the entire OPENLANE crew so much, that on my last vacation, I made it a point to visit the Mesa office to be able to meet everyone and put a face with the voice that's on the other end of the phone. Our sales representative, Cory Martinez, came in on his day off to meet me, show me around the entire building and introduce me to everyone that I have worked with, as well as a few people that I've never encountered in our day to day business. All in all, Cory and his counterparts have provided me the best, and most honest working relationship I've ever had in this business. I hope to continue the flow of business with them for a long time to come. Great job guys, let's keep it up!"
