We bought a Kia last week.
We bought a Kia last week. Trajce was so patient, kind and accommodating. He was very easy to connect with and trust. Once we decided on the right car, the sales process was so easy and fast. They were organized and got us back on the road quickly. We really love the car and would definitely recommend Trajce and Willowbrook Kia.

While traveling from out if state,we had a vehicle
While traveling from out if state,we had a vehicle breakdown. At that time/day, all repair shops were closed. So taking a gamble we dropped the car off at Napleton Ford of Oaklawn. The techs at Napleton jumped on our issue right away and worked hard to help a family stranded on the road. We were back up and running in just a few days. Thank you Napleton Ford!!

The first thing I noticed about Wickstrom Auto Group upon
The first thing I noticed about Wickstrom Auto Group upon arrival was how amazing and welcoming their dealership appeared. The appearance was matched, however, by the employees and our sales person, Michael K. Michael was great in every aspect. He made sure all our questions and needs were met in a private suite. He went over everything in great detail about the vehicle we were purchasing. Would go back in a minute. Thanks, Michael!
