Import Exchange Inc. review

Made Car Buying Easy

I just purchased a used car at Import Exchange in Everyone was so nice, educated and helpful! Michael, the general manager personally greeted me and directed me to cars that fit not only my budget but contained the list of wants and needs I was looking for. I really appreciated the extra time a salesman provided me after I bought the car to illustrate how to connect my phone. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be recommending Import Exchange to my friends and family!

BEST Upgrade I Have Gotten!!

This vehicle is everything iv wanted and MORE! I showed up to the dealership with a price range I wanted to stick by & wanted the ability to get a vehicle that had a 4X4 button to drive through the weather in the winter. I was not only able to get these two things from my purchase but also came with lots of extra bells and whistles

Exclusive Auto Haus review

Absolutely outstanding experience at Exclusive Autohaus!

Absolutely outstanding experience at Exclusive Autohaus! From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations. The customer service was top-notch—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely eager to help. They offer a fantastic selection of high-end vehicles, each well-maintained and in excellent condition. The sales team took their time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided all the details I needed to make an informed decision. The process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free, which made buying my car a pleasure. The attention to detail and dedication to quality really stand out at Exclusive Autohaus. Whether you're looking for a luxury vehicle or a quality pre-owned option, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend them—definitely a 5-star experience!

2016 Ford Explorer Sport review

Great SUV, NOISY inside. Get ext. Warranty!

2016 Platinum. Nice SUV, comfortable, very powerful, decent fuel economy, fair build quality, but there are some things to be aware of; the AWD models have a PTU (power transfer unit) which sends power to the rear wheels. It is positioned very close to the exhaust, and the heat generated by the turbochargers literally cooks the gear oil in the PTU, causing it to fail. The unit only holds about a quart of oil, and is NOT serviced or checked, even when you have the vehicle serviced at the dealer. We had trouble with the front camera, and the recirculation actuator on the climate control. If you are considering a used Explorer, I highly recommend buying the best warranty you can! The only complaint I have is the road noise. On new pavement, it's quiet, but on all other roads it's VERY loud inside!

BG Motorcars review

I had an outstanding experience with BG Motor Cars!

I had an outstanding experience with BG Motor Cars! From the moment I walked in, the team was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They have an impressive selection of quality vehicles, and I found exactly what I was looking for at a great price. The staff made the entire buying process seamless, providing detailed information and answering all my questions without any pressure. What stood out most was their transparency and professionalism — I felt confident every step of the way. The car I purchased was in excellent condition, and they took the time to ensure everything was in order before I drove off the lot. If you’re in the market for a used car, I highly recommend BG Motor Cars. They truly go above and beyond to ensure a top-notch customer experience!

My recent purchase was from Your Choice Elgin.

My recent purchase was from Your Choice Elgin. Ramzy was a terrific salesperson who made the whole experience enjoyable. The finance department and the staff who handled the final steps of the purchase were professional throughout, but I would recommend asking for Ramzy if you're interested in buying a car here.
