AutoNation Hyundai O'Hare review

Sales Associate, Juan Hernandez, was very helpful.

Sales Associate, Juan Hernandez, was very helpful. Not pushy and very informative. I would highly recommend him. Dealership was very clean and had a good selection of vehicles.

2018 Ford Explorer Limited review

Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer

This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

2018 Ford Explorer XLT review

3rd row seat folding mechanism

Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

Very good car, durable and trustworthy

Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

We recently purchased a car from Your Choice Autos, and the entire experience was genuinely outstanding from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. Our salesman was incredibly informative, and attentive to everything we said or asked. He took the time to really listen to our needs, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure we understood each step of the process. What stood out most was how smoothly everything went. There was no pressure, no confusion—just honest guidance and a clear commitment to helping us find the right vehicle. He made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free, which is something we truly appreciate when making such a big purchase. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a quality vehicle and a dealership that truly puts its customers first.

Schaumburg Ford review

Best dealership in town.

Best dealership in town. There’s no other dealer in Illinois that compares to this one. I’m a passionate automobile enthusiast with no patience for xx and THIS dealer has NONE of that. I walked in and I was greeted softly and warmly by the front desk discussing the reason for my visit and understanding if I was browsing or looking for something specific. When I spoke about a specific vehicle I wanted I was referred to Tiffany the sales manager. She was as warm and welcoming as the front desk people were. Tiffany paid careful attention to what I wanted and what I was looking for. I never felt rushed or pressured. I felt MY time and what I wanted is what mattered to her, which it did! She introduced me to her product specialist Roland ( With a cool Cowboy hat and a great sense of humor to accompany it). While Roland knew full well I wasn’t in the market to buy a car in the near future he still spent almost 2 hours with me discussing my options, my needs, and how to get those needs taken care of. By the end of my visit, Roland helped me place an order for the exact vehicle I want. Despite not making a sale that day, they invested those nearly 2 hours in MY NEEDS and they showed me how much MY time meant to them. I’m almost 40 years old and I’ve never purchased a brand new car before in my life, and you know what? This is the place that’s going to happen and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Roland for explaining things so well and exploring everything down to the last detail to get me what I want and what I need. Bob Rohrmans Ford will be my first new car purchase and I’m confident it wont be my last. If you appreciate a no pressure environment that cares about your time, your needs, and communicates things clearly and easily….. This is the place for you

From the very first contact, through the entire sales

From the very first contact, through the entire sales process and right through to delivery, the service from Ramy has been absolutely first class. Everything was handled with professionalism, transparency, and genuine care, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Ramy was knowledgeable, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I was completely satisfied. The dealership itself is amazing, and the level of service provided was faultless from start to finish. This was one of the best car-buying experiences I’ve had, and I’ll definitely be coming back for future purchases without hesitation.
