We purchased our 2nd vehicle from Sunrise Chevrolet in
We purchased our 2nd vehicle from Sunrise Chevrolet in Glendale Heights, IL. Mike Solare and the team who helped us were amazing to work with. they went way above my expectations to find us the perfect match. A custom Red Traverse was what my wife desired with a payment that matched her trade in Traverse. We got it back when interest rates were really low and we didn’t think it possible. GM Dan Schomer made sure we were cared for and Mike Solare made the magic happen. We are very excited about our purchase and advise everyone to go see this awesome team help you into the car of you dreams!
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.

Service was timely and kept is informed as to the progress of our vehicle. George in service is great!
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.

Impressive
This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.

This dealership is above the rest.
This dealership is above the rest. It was recommended by a friend of mine and I was not disappointed. In fact, it has changed my opinion about domestic car dealerships. From the scheduling of an appointment to the actual service technician, the experienced has been an absolute pleasure. I am sure that whomever is hiring for this dealership is selecting the best people. One thing is to have the technical qualifications to do the job but the most important factor in hiring people that will be interacting with the general public is people skills. Every time I call to schedule an appointment Molly has the nicest attitude over the phone. The same thing goes to the Mobile Service Technician Isaias Sanchez. An absolute pleasure to interact with him. Courteous, service oriented, and willing to offer explanation of the work being done. Like I said earlier, not everyone has the people skills to deal with the general public. These people are the best! You won't be disappointed to get service from Hawk Ford of St. Charles. I live about 30 miles from the dealership and have other Ford dealers closer my house but I pick Hawk Ford for service over those dealerships just because of the people there.

On April 30th, I brought my 2018 Chevy Equinox to
On April 30th, I brought my 2018 Chevy Equinox to Advantage Chevrolet of Bolingbrook for routine maintenance and an oil change tire rotation. Their team of mechanics, Dylan specifically, and your service consultants Jimmy, Ray Jr. and Renee are truly exceptional, and I am immensely impressed by the level of professionalism and expertise I have experienced at your dealership throughout the years. Maintaining three Chevy vehicles can be quite a task, but the team at Advantage Chevrolet of Bolingbrook has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that all of my cars are in top-notch condition. It's evident that they take pride in their work and are committed to delivering the best service possible. Their dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed, and it has undoubtedly contributed to my continued trust in Advantage Chevrolet of Bolingbrook. I have peace of mind knowing that my vehicles are in the hands of experts who genuinely care about their customers. I?ve said it before and I?ll say it again, they?ve got a customer forever! Once again, I'd like to thank them for their exceptional service and for the peace of mind they provide as a trusted service provider. I look forward to continuing our partnership in the future. Jim McIlvain Downers Grove, IL.

Great dealership
Overall wonderful experience! Rob did a great job assisting me on my search for my very first Jeep wrangler. He made sure that I found exactly what I was looking for and did a fantastic job working with me and explaining all of the features of the car. Rob and Vinnie made for a great experience and smooth process on my first purchase I could not be happier!

I bought a Lexus LX570 from Greg. I was nervous as I never bought a car without driving it or over the internet. They delivered the car to my home and offered me more than a fair trade on my Mercedes. I was more than happy with the LX and Greg was great. I would not hesitate to trust Greg's word. It was a great buying experience and they did not disappoint me. I highly recommend this dealer.

My experience pertains specifically to the Ford service
My experience pertains specifically to the Ford service department - not the actual car dealership. So this place is clearly under new management. After getting some ridiculous estimates from other mechanics and body shops, I decided to give this place a try…. I got outstanding service from Pat Gavin. He quickly got me estimates which confirmed my suspicions that the other mechanics were trying to gorge me into paying for a bunch of unnecessary repairs. Pat & team were able to fix several problems that had been lingering on my car for several months. I always postponed getting these things fixed because other mechanics wanted literally $5-10k for what seemed like small issues. I’m ecstatic to have finally found someone in this industry that conducts business with (1) integrity and (2) high standards in delivering quality! It’s such a relief to know where to go to get my car fixed without getting guided into a bunch of high priced and unnecessary work. I also got my car back cleaner than when I dropped it off!! Everything from the service to the price to the quality of the work exceeded my highest expectations. 1 month later my car is running as good as new. If only everything in the auto industry (particularly the service & repair industry) was run this way.

Janel and Dave very helpful.
Janel and Dave very helpful. I wanted a jeep. I saw one online so wanted to check it out it was missing a few things I really wanted. Janel went Dave and talking Dave said there was one that just came in the night before. I took it on a test drive yes that was the one. Went back in Dave was doing magic with numbers found the one so I bought my jeep. Only have great things to say. I would definitely tell my friends to come her. This has been the most comfortable atmosphere. Thank you Janel and Dave
