Buyer's Beware
Our company tried to purchase a used vehicle from Chevrolet of Palatine. The advertised price on autotrader was $59,745.00. There was mention of their doc fee but no other "fees" or surprises in the verbiage. After sending all of the titling information and requesting wiring information, I received a bill of sale that had an additional fee of $2,495.00. referred to as their X ZILON . Supposedly this is a protective coating they put on all of their vehicles prior to selling them. They said it couldn't be removed and that this was a standard practice in the car industry. The sales managers Chad and Jaime mentioned they couldn't comment when I asked if they could just sell us the vehicle for the price advertised online and that I felt this practice was very misleading. They told me they couldn't honor the advertised price.

We will look into this and encourage you to reach out to our management team at themanagementteam@leaderauto.com. We would appreciate another opportunity to make it right. Thank you.

Do not give them your business
We had to get some major repairs done on our car. We got quoted one price and when we went in to pay for the repair the charge was at least $100 more than the original quote
Do Not Use! - Engaged in Deceptive Sales Practices
Chevrolet Palatine does not honor the prices listed. Upon arrival and seeing the car, the salesman (Glen) attempted to add a "Reconditioning fee" of over 1.6k. Upon negotiating, he acted like he was doing us a favor by not adding the fee and agreeing to the original price listed. This is not only deceptive, but also dealing in bad faith. The overall attitude of the salesmen was combative and rude. At one point Glen even said: "If I had priced it at the real price, would you even have come in". Upon the price drop, I inquired again and was told by a saleswoman that there was no fees added on. I had her double check with her manager, just in case, which resulted in her confirming that there was an additional substantive fee - which had I not asked for that clarification, would've resulted in more time wasted. They told me that the price I would be given, would be the original price I was offered, meaning that despite there being a "price drop", instead they are increasing their "reconditioning fees". DO NOT listen to the price listed, and please call before going to the dealership. THIS IS A SCAM.

Chevrolet in Palatine
I hadn't been here in a while. The showroom looks the same. It's clean and organized. At first glance, the lot doesn't seem to hold as many cars as other dealers, but there are plenty from which to choose.
Dissappointed
Do not believe their advertised prices. They use bait and switch pricing to try to get you in the door and will then tell you do not qualify for all the rebates. There is a reason they still have a large supply of new 2018 Chevy cars on their lot.

Just terrible
Just terrible. They won’t even honor the advertised price and are totally dishonest or can’t do simple math. Probably both. I would never do business with these people.

Confused
Sent in a price request, got the standard chain email wanting me to come in, replied 3 hrs away, would like some quotes over email first. Got same set of emails from 2nd person, again explained what I was looking for and got a 3rd standard email saying "been trying to get ahold of you" when can you come in?
