Owner
Mike "Mr. Wrench" Brandt
Owner
Mike has gained much notoriety among his peers in the industry for both his mechanical skill as well as the great success of Brandt's Harley-Davidson®. Mike is the sole owner both the Wabash and the Marion dealerships and is very proud to carry on the Brandt family business that began in 1949. He has lead the Wabash dealership to a prestigious Gold Bar & Shield Award in 2008, 2009, & 2010 and a Platinum Award at the I-69 dealership in 2014. He has seen the Harley-Davidson® Company grow exponentially over his 45+ years of experience and knows motorcycles inside and out. Mike is also a talented bike builder and has created some amazing bikes over the years. He enjoys kicking back with his other half, Leila, and his grandchildren, Tyler, Kirstyn, Emmett & Carson. A few years ago, Mike also opened a beautiful golf course, The Waldo, named after his father. If Mike isn't turning wrenches, chances are you'll find him unwinding out on the course.
