Tessmer's Auto Sales

Don't even look at their lot. They are scam artists, and crooks. I had this opinion before I even found out that the owner is a bail jumper, and dog killer (killed the family pet by kicking it to death in front of his kids, and yes I verified this). Don't even bother looking at what they have. They are smooth talkers, and scam artists. Make sure they don't take any of your money.

The owner of this car dealership was convicted of killing his dog to serve 12 months in county jail; Will be released for work... HE OWNS THIS PLACE! When is he not at work? When he is either kicking a defensless animal or asleep. Would YOU buy a car from this man???



Prosecutors filed three felony bail-jumping charges in Waukesha County Circuit Court on June 11 against Michael H. Tessmer, 53, of W348 N6053 California Ave. Oconomowoc. Tessmer was already charged with felony counts of mistreatment of animals and mental harm to a child. (HIS OWN CHILD!)



According to the criminal complaint, Tessmer's son and daughter were staying at his house for the weekend. The boy told police that at about 3:30 p.m. that day, Tessmer began kicking the dog, Zorro, a 3-year-old labradoodle, because the dog had defecated and urinated in the house.



The boy, then 11, heard his father yell at the dog and saw him take a paper towel with urine and "shoved it into the dog's mouth," the complaint said.



Tessmer allegedly repeatedly kicked the dog in the chest and rear-end. That night, Zorro came up to the boy breathing heavily and later died, the complaint said.



Dan Fay, Tessmer's attorney had this to say:

"The district attorney has forgotten that we are talking about a dog. A dog has no rights. A dog is a piece of property," Fay said. "This is a case where the government is telling a private citizen how they have to use and treat their personal property."

I can understand how people believe what they read or hear in the news. We want to believe that our media is truthful. However, the truth has not been told and there has been no harm to children. This dealership has outstanding commitment to service! Mike Tessmer bends over backwards for his customers and always goes out of his way to satisfy. We were stranded on the highway with our boat on a trailer. The trailer axle broke. It was Memorial day weekend and he came after hours to take our boat and trailer to his shop. It was rush hour traffic and he had to wade his way through the bumper to bumper cars to help us. He charged very little for his time and effort. If he has any faults, it is he is too generous. This case against him has been exaggerated beyond truth! We know his children and they are wonderful kids. This story has been sensationalized and HE DID NOT KILL HIS DOG IN FRONT OF HIS CHILDREN! The kids are fine. He is a good honest business owner!

The owner of this dealership Michael Tessmer is currently going to court for kicking his DOG TO DEATH IN FRONT OF HIS CHILDREN as the children begged him not to. He kicked the dog in the head and stomach over 10 times with his heavy workboots on. The dog died of internal bleeding the next morning. Mike is accused of Animal Abuse resulting in death, child abuse and bail jumping. Please don't support this kind of behavior. There are plenty other dealerships to buy a car from. We don't want someone like this in business.
