Chicago Auto Place

Would you accept this? While on the lot, car would not start, they said that battery was dead..They jumped in, drove it into their garage, and put a "new" battery in it. Whe While on the lot, car would not start, they said that battery was dead..They jumped in, drove it into their garage, and put a "new" battery in it. When we got it home (200+ miles away, Green Bay) it would not start. Green Bay dealer put a new battery in it today, Chicago Auto Place battery was dead. What are the chances that Chicago Auto Place put in a "new" battery, that is what the sales person represented? Car would not heat properly. Took it to a new car dealer in Green Bay where we live, who put in a new thermostat and flushed the system today, $590. Have an appointment Feb 5th with the Green Bay Chrysler dealer for a new heater core, $1,300. No way that we would know that these issues existed. We spent considerable time on the phone and by email with a sales lady at this dealership. We made it crystal clear that we expected the car to be in perfect condition. We also told her that we were not coming to Chicago to inspect the car, if we drove to the dealership we were coming to buy it. She stated that the car met these requirements before we left for Chicago. Bought the car on Jan 17th, today is Jan 22nd.As for questions below, we can not answer until we work through all the issues. We have not contacted Chicago Auto Place re these issues, maybe they will contact us, we will see. More

Horrible Expeirence Purchased a vehicle from the dealership they gave me a 30 day temporary plate which expired and now the car has been sitting for over 10 days. Dealers Purchased a vehicle from the dealership they gave me a 30 day temporary plate which expired and now the car has been sitting for over 10 days. Dealerships communication is absolutely pathetic. As soon as I purchased the vehicle they no longer were interested in me as a customer. Wouldn’t return phone calls or emails only till I began threatening with a lawyer would they respond and even then it was poor response times. The dealership has fed excuse after excuse on why the title work and registration has not been processed. Has told me DMV has paper work ready for me to register and throughout all the countless visits at the DMV nothing has been accomplished the vehicle is still currently unregistered and sitting as I pay insurance and continue to pay my monthly note. They are solely interested in your momey and as soon as they get that they will forget about helping you. They’ve run countless circles saying they are handling all the paperwork and my plates will be comping in the mail to the DMV already having everything for ME to go and register it myself. Absolutely horrible experience. Customer care is least of there concerns along with punctuality. Highly do not recommend anyone wasting their time or business here. More

Decent dealership - just don't buy sight unseen I had a pretty middle-of-the-road experience with Chicago Auto Place. Due to time constraints, I ended up buying the car without visiting it and had I had a pretty middle-of-the-road experience with Chicago Auto Place. Due to time constraints, I ended up buying the car without visiting it and had it delivered. Other than being a little slow on the communication part of it, that whole process went smoothly. Communication between my purchase and up until the transportation point was extremely lacking. The biggest negative was after it was delivered and I starting driving it, I discovered that the suspension was completely shot. So the great price ended up not being such a great price after putting $2000 into new shocks/struts all the way around. It's a good thing that their prices are as good as they are, or it would have been a complete let down. In addition, upon delivery, one of the tow hook covers was missing from the bumper, which existed in the photos. Their response - "oh, well" So...whether you fly in, or drive in, I'd recommend being able to see and drive the car of your interest first. More

Pleasant sales person, but not a trustworthy business I bought a low mileage (for the year Mazda 6 Wagon flying in fro PA to make pick up the car. I was not told that the headliner was sagging badly ($25 I bought a low mileage (for the year Mazda 6 Wagon flying in fro PA to make pick up the car. I was not told that the headliner was sagging badly ($250 to repair), and the heated drivers seat didn't work ($350 repair). There was damage to the door that was described as "door dings" that was much worse (in fairness it was tough to photograph). 200 miles into my trip home the "check engine light" (CEL) came on. Both catalytic converters are bad ($1000). Clearing the code gets 50-200 miles of driving before it returns, so I strongly suspect the dealer knew about the issue. When I went to install my snow tires I found one of the from lugs was completely cross threaded. i had to use a beaker bar to get the lug not off and pull the hub to replace the ruined stud. the lazy mechanic spun the lugs in with an impact wrench rather than hand starting them like a good mechanic. I was told it had new brakes. Fronts were, rears have frozen slider bolts....not new brakes. When I contacted my sales person i was told the manager would give me a call. It's been a week and no call so I doubt I will hear from them again. It's disappointing, but not surprising since I'm 400+ miles away. I've purchased five cars long distance and have gotten some great cars and met some really honest people. I found neither at this dealership. I did not expect a new car, but paid at the top of the KBB listed value (excellent condition) so I did not expect to have all these issues. If you choose to do business here take the car you are looking at to a good mechanic and if ypu have a BS detector bring it along. More

KEEP DRIVING! 0 stars should be an option! JUSTYNA B has the worst attitude and talks to customers as if she is better than them! She only wants to take as much money from you as she can! She w JUSTYNA B has the worst attitude and talks to customers as if she is better than them! She only wants to take as much money from you as she can! She will lie to the banks to get you approved then threaten you if you can't come up with money they said you wouldn't have to pay! She cons people into getting an unneccessary extra insurance even if you have an insurance company. They take advantage of young buyers that don't know any better and make them think they are going to help them when theu are just screwing them over! TURN AROUND THERE ARE BETTER QUALITY PEOPLE IN THE OTHER DEALER SHIPS IN BENSENVILLE More

Robert explained everything and answered all our questions. He was big help when we didn't have our most current insurance cards in dealing with our insurance company. We absolutely enjoyed being there. Christina in finance was very nice also, she made everything go very smoothly. We would would without a doubt come back here for another car. I love that you could see pictures of the car(s) that you would be interested in on their website. Thank you so much Robert and Christina!!!! More

False car reports, terrible service/delivery I bought my car over a week ago from this dealership. An oil light came on after completing paperwork. They said it was the oil sensors. I had to bri I bought my car over a week ago from this dealership. An oil light came on after completing paperwork. They said it was the oil sensors. I had to bring the car back five minutes after leaving the dealership. The engine light had come on. They said to bring it back and they will fix it. An hour after, they stated they fixed them. They just turned the lights off. I had it inspected and there were significant repairs needed on the vehicle, even though I was assured by the sales staff and fake printed reports that the car was in good condition. I've had many promises that it will be done the next day and it is still not done. In one day I have been told 5PM, then 7PM, then 10AM the next morning. I was originally told it was a 15 hr fix. They are quick to take my money, but slow in getting me the car. By law, I have until the 15th day to return it. I'm thinking I will at this point. More
