My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
I saw the vehicle on the cars.com and checked it out on their website. The car listed on their website was an even more upscale version then the one on cars.com. When I asked the salesman, he stated they couldn't correct their own website.
When discussing the purchase, they made us fill out a credit application. We already had financing so I questioned it. They said it was required 1) in case our financing fell through 2) something regarding the Patriot Act so everyone has to fill it out now. After waiting along period of time, the finance person came out to meet us. I asked if we could be done in 15 min and he said it would take at least 45 min. After checking out scams.com I found out they have us fill out an application so they can run our credit to offer us "better" financing. However, the terms were 5 years vs 3, which in the end would cost us more. The salesman also "forgot" to mention that they had Theft Protection etching on all their vehicles and this would be another $199 dollars. Also on scams.com, this isn't true.
After an hour with the finance person who didn't seem to know what he was doing, we left, but even before we were out the door, he came with more papers to sign. When arriving home, we didn't have a title or registration. They called us stating the car we traded in still showed the lien holder and we'd have to have that cleared before they could issue a title. (the title is clear and Carmax was able to determing that when I visted them) After a few phone calls back and forth, they said they'd work around it-remove the Theft Protection charge, but I'd still have to wait 10 days to receive my title while my check cleared.
The finance person also faxed me a copy of the purchase agreement and registration-which had incorrect amounts on them and they didn't match. Another day of phone calls now with the finance Mangager and they state they "took care of it" and would send me the paperwork. I have no trust in this dealership. June 2008

My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
After an unpleasant experience @ Hesser Toyota in Janesville, WI... Libertyville Toyota was a breath of fresh air. Our salesperson, Rick Miller (12 yrs experience at this dealership) was pleasant, professional, and very efficient. He gave me exactly the trade-in prce I had expected and a very good price on an already great priced vehicle. Finance manager Mike did not try to force extended warranties or undercoating/fabric protection down my throat... a VERY good car-buying experience. Highly recommend.... would definatley buy from again!

My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
I purchased a Chevy Astro van for $7,200.00 Its a lemon, the starter was bad which cost me 300 dollars to replace, the driver side miror is missing, the fan assembly in the cabin is missing, the gloves compartment is damaged, no fluids were changed, the air cleaner was not changed, fuel filter isn't changed, brakes are in very bad shape, the vehicle was used for long time so the wheels are rusted and wheels are grinding. By listening to noise of the both doors, I know its a accident vehicle. This is a complete lemon. I am not a satisfied customer at all. I am repenting on my decesion. The dealer showed a false carfax report to me! On top of all this, the person who sold me the van is registered on wrong name.

My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
The sales staff was very courteous but the Business Manager was very arrogant and rude. We were told that if we didn't pay the MSRP on the vehicle that he would just get it from someone who would !! The option of ordering a vehicle was also never offered or addressed. Honda will be getting my business ( and my friends and family ) from now on because they have been awesome !!!!

I would strongly recommend to anyone that they stay away from this dealership !

My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
they put in cheap parts and make their customers wait for ridiculously long periods of time. They also make a sport out of trying to blittle female clients (firsthand knowledge) and in the end just give you a cop out answer like well everything in the car is safe...therefore there is nothing we can do (or have to do)....

My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
This dealer was OK when I purchased my car. However, upon return for service, they were very rude and unaccommodating. I will never return to this dealer again. Maybe I caught them on a busy/stressful day, but I don't think I'll be returning there for service...I'm surprised they received the Toyota President's award for customer service! I regret giving them my business.

My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
One of the best dealerships in the Chicago area. I have bought five cars in the last 12 years from them, and I have had nothing but the best experiences I could imagine.

My Review of Libertyville Toyota:
I purchased two vehicles, 02 MR2 and 03 Corolla both with extended warranty.<br><br>I have had nothing but problems with the service department and its manager.<br> <br>I brought my car in to have the tires changed 4 wheel alignment and a car wash. When I got the car back I noiced that they had ruined the rims (scratches and gouges). When I confronted the Service Manager about it (Dan) he told me they didnt do it, and wanted to charge me $50.00 per wheel to get it repaired. I also noticed large black (my car is silver) streaks of stuff along the bottim side of my car. They did a horrible job of detailing the car (cost me $40.00) but I did get a instore credit (not like I will use it) from their most helpful service employee the night manager Mike.<br><br>The sales floor treated me very well. The service department was very rude, called me a liar, and was very hostile. I will never do buisness with Libertyville Toyota again.<br>
