I am sharing my experience to provide a clear, factual account for anyone considering doing business with Adam Auto Group. I purchased my vehicle on March 13, 2026, with 113,984 miles, working directly with salesperson Jake Mayo. The vehicle currently has 117,005 miles. Within a short period of ownership, I encountered a significant engine-related issue tied to a known manufacturer concern (Technical Service Bulletin). While I understand that higher-mileage vehicles carry inherent risk, this type of issue was not reasonably apparent at the time of sale. What has been most disappointing is not simply the issue itself, but the lack of support and communication afterward. I made multiple documented attempts to contact the dealership for assistance on 4/10/26, 4/22/26, and 4/29/26, and received no response or meaningful engagement from the salesperson. This lack of follow-up occurred before any formal dispute and reflects a broader concern regarding customer service after the sale. After escalating to management, I approached the situation in good faith and offered a reasonable compromise—requesting a shared cost of repair—even while acknowledging that the issue fell outside of their written policy. That offer was declined. The dealership’s response relied entirely on contractual language, including: - The expiration of a 15 day / 500 mile implied warranty period - The position that manufacturer-related issues fall solely on the manufacturer - The assertion that approximately 3,000 miles of use constitutes “significant” use - The statement that the vehicle remained operable To be clear, I do not dispute that these points may align with policy. However, they do not address the core concerns: 1. The complete lack of response from the salesperson despite multiple attempts to communicate 2. The absence of any proactive customer support when a known manufacturer issue surfaced shortly after purchase 3. The unwillingness to consider even minimal goodwill assistance in resolving a legitimate concern These are not contractual issues—they are business practice decisions. Buyers should also be aware of the limitations of the “4 month / 4,000 mile” warranty offered. It is capped at $1,500 and applies only to certain powertrain components. In today’s repair environment, where labor rates can reach $170 per hour and major engine repairs often cost several thousand dollars, this level of coverage is limited and may not provide meaningful financial protection in the event of a serious issue. My takeaway is straightforward: If your vehicle performs without issue, your experience may be positive. However, if a problem arises—especially one tied to a known manufacturer concern—you should expect the dealership to default strictly to policy, without flexibility, advocacy, or additional support. The consistent reliance on standardized responses reinforces that approach. I made every effort to resolve this situation professionally, including direct outreach, escalation, and a reasonable cost-sharing proposal. The outcome reflects not a misunderstanding of policy, but a clear example of how post-sale concerns are handled. I would strongly encourage potential buyers to evaluate not only the purchase itself, but also how the dealership responds when issues arise after the sale. That is where the true measure of a business is demonstrated.

Thank you for this feedback. We're very sorry to see that you didn't have the best experience at our dealership. Please reach out to us directly if you'd like to discuss this matter in more detail. While we're disappointed to learn that we didn't meet your expectations, we'd love to try to turn things around and make sure the same thing doesn't continue to happen.
Do not buy a car from these people unless you have an extra 10K to fix it afterward. I bought a 2014 Jaguar from them. It had been wrecked and they scrubbed the title. It was bought at auction and pieced together from spare parts. The front bumper came off a 2016 model. The A/C hoses were cut. Both differentials had to be replaced along with a wheel bearing. It was delivered without a gas cap, windshield washer hoses, air intake hoses, etc. The wheels were bent! Too much to list here. They don't care. The reviews you are reading were probably bought and paid for. They're slick enough to make you sign an arbitration agreement so you can't sue them. These guys are snakes. And if you think their warranty is going help you, forget it.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're happy to hear it went well and truly appreciate your feedback.
Do not even stop here for a look at a car/suv etc.. Ohh it'll be shiny and detailed > look fantastic . It'll drive great on your test drive . Then 2 -3 weeks later you will encounter one issue after another after another. They will counter here re: AS IS, they offered to sell me a warranty. Ohh I got one from them 4 mo 4k power train Gold Standard Extended warranty is DENY DELAY, repeat. DENY DELAY Repeat 2 weeks after purchase > replaced front axels (after 2 weeks negotiations with said warranty), 3 weeks after purchase > Check engine light = need new catalytic converter. Same week. Tire sensor went on, need new sensor. Front drive is still bad, now I need to replace the front differentials, and the fantastic warranty comp is fighting me tooth n nail. Just Avoid this place, Don't be me¡

We’re sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your vehicle. We want to clarify a few important points regarding your purchase. You bought a 2018 Subaru with 145,000 miles for $7,995. At the time of purchase, the vehicle was sold in As-Is condition with a 15-day/500-mile implied warranty, which you acknowledged and signed for. You also declined any optional extended warranty coverage offered at the time. As a courtesy to all our customers purchasing vehicles outside of the factory warranty, we included a complimentary 4-month/4,000-mile warranty through Gold Standard Automotive Network that offers protection for covered components. While we understand how frustrating unexpected repairs can be, Adam Auto Group is not liable or negligent for issues that arise after the sale, especially with vehicles sold As-Is. That said, we always encourage customers to utilize their active warranty coverage. We value all customer feedback, even when it’s critical, and we remain committed to transparency and fairness in every transaction. — Adam Auto Group

Hi Mona, you never submitted an application to our dealership and you were never told it was sold. The vehicle you inquired about is still available. We're a little confused by the review, but would be happy to help you with a purchase.

We're truly sorry that the vehicle you were planning on purchasing was sold before you secured the money to purchase it. We understand the disappointment of losing out on something you had your heart set on. It's like getting ready to bite into a delicious slice of cake, only to find out that someone else has swiped it from under your nose. It leaves a bitter taste, doesn't it? Unfortunately, this is the reality of the vehicle market. It's a hustle and bustle, a game of musical chairs where the music can stop at any time, and the one without a chair (or in this case, a car) is left standing. In the world of car sales, we can only reserve a vehicle with a deposit. To be specific, a $2,500 deposit is needed to pull a car off the market and reserve it for a customer. We understand that you chose not to take this route, and we respect your decision. But just like in a game of poker, not placing a bet could mean losing out on the pot.
Keeping this short and sweet. I call Adam Auto to On Saturday 11/11/2023 I called Adam Auto Group of Crestwood, Il to inquire about a vehicle. The salesman James answered all of my questions. It's hard to get a salesman to answer questions over the phone they all usually want you to come in right away. He did not pressure me in any way to come in. After a few minutes he called me back and gave me more details about the car, it was close to closing but he convinced me to come in to see the vehicle for myself. When I arrived he took me out to see the car and it was everything he said it was and had every amenity I was looking for my new car to have. He was very polite, professional and knowledgeable about the vehicle. His professionalism and patience with me was what I enjoyed most. Before I left I put down a deposit to hold the vehicle. Today 11/13/2023 I went back and got my car! Please ask for James if you decide to visit Adam Auto Group he will not disappoint!
