We started with a vision & after 34 years that vision still stands.
Working as a team and doing your best are things the staff at Nickel & Associates Insurance Agency understands well. Jim and Deb Nickel returned to their hometown of Worthington in 1982 and purchased H.I. Metz Agency which started in 1921. Through their dynamic partnership, the couple expanded the business, from mainly offering personal & farm insurance to offering all lines of insurance, serving customers throughout southwest Minnesota. Nickel & Associates Insurance Agency has been a Grinnell Mutual President’s Club member since 2010 and became a million dollar producer for the company in 2012. Jim & Deb were in the process of turning the business over to their sons, Trevor & Jeff, when Deb suddenly passed away in 2013.

Last month a Customer from a larger town commented to me about her purchase from our company. She said, “Now that was PAIN-FREE”. Here at Scholtes Auto World, we don’t believe that buying or repairing a vehicle should ever be like going to a doctor or dentist. For more than 84 years we have provided excellent sales and service experiences for our customers. We take pride in our professionalism of treating everyone as an honored guest in our home. You’ll NEVER get your arm twisted or find yourself in a wrestling match at our dealership. Stop in to see how car shopping should be.
