Perfect Vehicle, great salesperson!
My sales person Alex Valdez was great! I thought he would give up on me because I was very picky and expected alot. I had resigned myself to keeping my current car, but then he found me the perfect vehicle and I love it! All in all it was a pleasant experience and I highly recommend McGrath Honda/Elgin. Just ask for Alex Valdez and he will work hard to find you what you want!
2023 Ford Explorer XLT
Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

We had such an amazing experience working with Michael
We had such an amazing experience working with Michael Kajdanowski! From the moment we walked into the dealership, he made the entire process feel smooth, calm, and honestly… luxurious. It was a late Saturday night, and despite the timing, Michael never rushed us. He took the time to walk my husband and me through all the features, answered every question with patience, and made sure we felt confident in our decision. What we appreciated most was the low-pressure approach — it truly felt like he was there to support us, not sell to us. This was my very first time stepping into a Lincoln dealership, and I completely fell in love with the Lincoln Aviator. Michael made it happen for us to get exactly what I wanted — my color, fully loaded, and at a price that honestly exceeded our expectations. The entire team worked together to make the numbers make sense, and we were able to walk out of the showroom with our vehicle that same night. What made this experience even more meaningful is that Michael helped make this happen for our business. This wasn’t just a car purchase — it was a major milestone for us, and he truly honored that. He understood the importance behind the decision and supported us every step of the way. The experience felt aligned, easy, and elevated from start to finish. We never felt pressured, only supported, and that made all the difference. Michael’s professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for his clients truly stood out. If you’re looking for someone who will guide you through the process with transparency, patience, and excellence, Michael is your person. We are beyond grateful for the experience and absolutely love our new Aviator. Thank you, Michael, for making this such a special and memorable milestone for us!
Nice vehicle
Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

A dealership you can trust
I was looking for a specific car that was at this CarMax. Problem was that I live in Minnesota, not Chicago and would have to traveling a great distance for a car I had not seen other than in pics, potentially risking wasting a great deal of time and money. I had to trust Jonathan, my salesman, to tell me the condition of the car where the pics could not. He was completely honest and the car was exactly what he said it was. Between Jonathan and Adam, the sales manager i was able to close the deal and drive back to home within an hour. I am completely pleased with the car and 100% satisfied with the dealership. I guess you can trust a car dealership. I did and they did not let me down. Thanks guys.

I love the Napleton-Libertyville guys!
I love the Napleton-Libertyville guys! Rich was our sales guy. He was so easy going, listened to what we wanted and made suggestions without being pushy. He helped us get the best deal! Bob made the finance process run smoothly and took the time to walk through all our questions and concerns while also being mindful of our time. Overall, I’m very impressed with the customer service at Napleton
