From start to finish, my experience purchasing a vehicle
From start to finish, my experience purchasing a vehicle here was nothing short of excellent. Eric, my sales rep, was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient?he made sure I found the perfect vehicle without ever feeling pressured. He took the time to answer every question and walk me through the features until I was completely confident in my decision. Derrick, the finance manager, was equally impressive. He made the financing process smooth and transparent, clearly explaining all options and working hard to find the best deal possible. No surprises, no gimmicks?just honest and efficient service. And a special shoutout to Jason, the GM, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customer experience and runs a top-tier operation. This team truly made car buying enjoyable. I couldn?t be happier with my purchase, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and friendly dealership.
Great car
Best car I’ve ever owned. Does everything I want//need it to do. Always starts in the morning. I’ve been camping with it and slept inside the car. Plenty of room

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.

Tony in Tinley Park, IL
I can always count on my service needs being met. Quick Lane is convenient. My last service Was completed on time and corrected.
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.

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
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 was a smooth and easy Lease arrangement on a new Kia
This was a smooth and easy Lease arrangement on a new Kia Niro EV. We had test driven one before but found the car color and package we wanted online here. We were able to take care of everything online and on the phone/text except the final papers signing. We were only at the dealer about an hour and drove our car home. Everyone was courteous and sincerely seemed to be getting us all the Kia promotions we should have. I would go to International Kia and ask for Karlos Karas. He will take care of you. Thank you 😊 🙏

Easy people to work with!!!
It all started with Jessica answering the phone. She was awesome, answered all questions that I asked and was able to get me numbers from the sales manager. After that she set up an appointment so I could come in and test drive the car. I worked with Ken and Sharon while I was at the dealership. They were awesome. Got me the car he wanted for close to the price I wanted. Thank You!

I am 70 years old and have bought or leased over 25 cars.
I am 70 years old and have bought or leased over 25 cars. This dealership is the best in appearance and customer service. The sales manager, Mo, made it go without the slightest hiccup. He processed the financing of my new car as if I had a credit score of over 775. When I raised a concern about the service contract, he took the time to offer a solution that took away any concerns I had. My salesman Jesus, was patient and took the time to find a vehicle that was just traded in that would be perfect for me. It was, and I did purchase it.
