They were nice enough and willing to deal some.
They were nice enough and willing to deal some. They told me that they were going to mail me some touch up paint but I have not seen it?? They did have the windshield replaced like the said they would.
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.

The service and parts departments offer consistently
The service and parts departments offer consistently excellent, friendly service; both are staffed with employees with years of experience.
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.

I had the pleasure of working with Tray at Murgado Ford
I had the pleasure of working with Tray at Murgado Ford of Chicago while looking for a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve AWD for my wife. From the moment I reached out by phone to inquire about the vehicle Stock: 24L117, Tray was incredibly personable and transparent. He took the time to provide me with all the information I needed, making me feel at ease about the purchase. With a growing family, including one child and another expected in May, it's important to make the right choice, and Tray made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His professionalism and genuine care for my needs were evident, and I truly appreciate his efforts in helping us find the perfect vehicle. I highly recommend Tray and Murgado Ford for anyone in the market for a new car!

Ziegler Land Rover steals buyers money and cars.
Ziegler Land Rover steals buyers money and cars. They sell new vehicles to you and then negligently deliver this to someone else with no any proper documentation. When you request your car or money back they simply kick you out declaring that deal is done. Then they steal your sales tax money and they try to register the stolen vehicle on your name. General manager and new cars sales manager are making at you telling to go to the insurance company. But there is no any insurance because the vehicle wears never delivered. Do not buy any cars from this fat cockroach. They are thief.

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!

Good for challenging credit
Relatively painless process when you don't have a great credit score to work with. They can finance where major dealerships cannot (will not). They finance in house
