THE BEST
Just bought an RDX spaceship from these guys. The absolute best car buying experience I have ever had. In more than 50 years. Sebastion, our salesman, was incredible. Spent an enormous amound of time explaining the car's thousands of features, and made all the settings, etc. he thought we would want. Even helped out the next day via facetime when we forgot how some of them worked. And then called AGAIN the next day to make sure we didn't have more questions!!! When's the last time that ever happenned to you? Elson, his manager? More of the same. No BS, no haggling, reasonable on every issue and request; cuts righ to the chase. Found out he jogs near our home and actually invited him to stop by for coffee. When has that ever happenned? Rashard? Continued the same great service. Looking for a car? These are the guys to see.

I just bought a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS 53 AMG from
I just bought a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS 53 AMG from Chicago Auto Place. I'm out of state but deal was great. Took about 5 days to get delivered. Longer than i wanted but they delivered. Kept communications the entire time. Ricky was great. In the process i got worried and started researching. There are some people years ago that didn't review well. I really don't thinknthe deserve those reviews. After i got the car i asked the owner about them. He said they changed their business modelnto higher end cars with lower miles. And it has worked for them. I am 100% happy and have a stellar car. Inwould recommended whole-heartedly. They are in Chicago and i amnin Texas. Stressful buying online but they delivered on all cylinders.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.

The sales representative was very helpful and knowledgeable. The car was well-priced and in great condition. I was pleased with the overall attention I received from the sales staff, everyone was friendly and helpful, especially Sam. He really stood out with his excellent service. Thank you
Transmission problem
I have owned Toyota and Honda vehicles for years. I love the space and comfort of my Ford Explorer. However I'm at 68k miles and just had to have my transmission rebuilt. If I didn't love the comfort and ride of this vehicle so much, I would trade it in tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed and praying this vehicle will hold out to 200k miles.

Great customer service and a great car
I have to say I had excellent customer service, they help me with my finance, and my car, I love my car thank you so much happy customer 👍
Explorers are great
I have had several Explorers all have been great vehicles. My newest is only a couple years old. I also still have a great running 26 year old with almost 200k miles. Never had a big or expensive problem with either. I can say the same for the BMWs, Mercedes and Infinity’s I have owned…Once these expensive vehicles warranty expired everything but their engine seemed to fall apart. My Fords are reliable and never break down (knock on wood) Not flashy like the imports but solid.

We’re absolutely thrilled with our experience leasing a 2025 Mustang Mach-E from Golf Mill Ford! A special thank you to Jakub and Damian for going above and beyond, especially for communicating clearly with my Polish-speaking parents. Their patience and professionalism made a big difference for our family. Everyone we worked with was respectful, honest, and well-prepared. The communication was smooth and transparent the entire time, unlike other dealerships we visited, there were no surprises when it came to pricing. We visited twice before finalizing the lease and both times we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. It truly felt like they cared about helping us make the right decision, not just making a sale. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience and our whole family is extremely with the new car. Thank you again, Golf Mill Ford!

Richard was extremely friendly and helpful in assisting me with questions I had regarding the many beautiful luxury sedans I had been inquiring about. He went above and beyond with his time, was very respectful and easy to talk to. For that I'm giving HIM 5 stars! He made us feel like family. It was an overall positive experience with him. Kudos to you Richard, you have a fantastic personality! :)

I had an outstanding experience purchasing my car at Wickstrom Lincoln, and I owe it all to Michael Kajdanowski! From start to finish, the process was incredibly simple, quick, and stress-free. Michael was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure all my questions were answered. He understood exactly what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect vehicle. The sale was seamless, and I was in and out in no time. If you're looking for an easy and efficient car-buying experience, I highly recommend working with Michael at Wickstrom Lincoln.
