Apple Chevrolet

I was raised on Chevys. When I was a child, we had a '47, a '54, and a '61 Chevy. My first brand new car was a 1970 Chevy Malibu. When I got married and had my first son, we traded in the '70 Malibu fo '47, a '54, and a '61 Chevy. My first brand new car was a 1970 Chevy Malibu. When I got married and had my first son, we traded in the '70 Malibu for a '72 Biscayne, and for a while, we had a '78 Impala also. After divorcing in 1983, I was on my own again in the car market. I made a stupid mistake, and bought a used Dodge that I owned for 18 months, but only ran for nine of them. At the time, my brother-in-law worked in the Service Department at Apple. He brought me to the dealership, and introduced me to Dave O'Donnell and Pat Swisher. They worked with me, and were able to move me from the car that didn't run into a used '80 Citation. The rest is history. As I paid off a car, I would come back to Apple to upgrade. First was an '80 Impala. Then I moved to an '86 Celebrity. Next was my first brand new car, a '92 Cavalier. The last car that I bought at Apple was a new '96 Lumina. I took this car to Florida when I moved there for a year. When I came back, I lived in a more rural area of northern Illinois. I was commuting 125 miles a day to and from the office, and I wanted a car that would perform better, especially in the snow. In 2002, I purchased a Jeep Liberty. While the car handled very well, especially in the snow, the gas mileage was horrible. When the new 2010 Equinox came out, I really liked the body style. But, even better, I liked the gas mileage that was promised. Once I got my finances in order, I couldn't wait to come back to a Chevy. And, much to my delight, Dave O'Donnell and Pat Swisher welcomed me back to Apple. I'd been through some financial bad times, and Dave and Pat, along with Chet Palumbo, worked with me to put the financing together. I was able to get a car loan through GMAC, and am now the proud owner of a 2010 Chevy Equinox. It's refreshing to have people like this that will go to bat for you, especially in difficult times. When the financing went through, I think Pat Swisher was as excited about it as I was. It's working with people like Pat, and a dealership that values your business like Apple, that make you want to keep coming back time and again. It feels like I've come home, and I can truly say that I'm glad to be back! More

We did not purchase, but we dealth with many dealers in our 2 month quest to replace totalled car. Cindy was very nice to work with. Her follow up was very good, but we did not purchase. Chevy, in the our 2 month quest to replace totalled car. Cindy was very nice to work with. Her follow up was very good, but we did not purchase. Chevy, in the end, was not a good fit for us. Their SUV lineup goes from a Shirley Partridge sized Traverse to a wonderful (but lacking serious width space on the inside) Equinox. GM has Onstar, and we WISH they'd get it together and build something closer in size to the Honda Pilot or Hyundai Santa Fe. The Equinox is a great car, but not enough interior room for our needs.
