Internet bait car I can't believe they're still using this tactic but they put a car on the internet that they don't have in their lot at a fair price to bring you into I can't believe they're still using this tactic but they put a car on the internet that they don't have in their lot at a fair price to bring you into the dealership. I was contacted by Allison was trying to get me in to view the Colorado I was interested in. I called and said I was on my way to the dealership and she said see you at about 5:15. We had several correspondence via email and never once did she mention that the car was not on the lot. Upon arrival I was told that Allison went home but someone else would help me. After 10 minutes of waiting someone named kama came out and told me she was bringing the vehicle up front for me to test drive a blue Colorado four-wheel drive. After 20 minutes of waiting and watching the young lady walk back and forth and go to sales huddle meetings in the sales closet I realized no one was going to help me. I left the store got into my car got gas went and got food and then received a phone call wondering where I was. I was told at that time that the vehicle was not available but they had other options for me the old bait-and-switch. Very sad for you Lou that you would allow your dealership to run and such a sketchy practices. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone More

This was such a low/no pressure experience, I was very pleasantly surprised. Kama was my sales person and she has to be heaven sent. She was friendly, courteous, personable and genuine. I kept waiting f pleasantly surprised. Kama was my sales person and she has to be heaven sent. She was friendly, courteous, personable and genuine. I kept waiting for her to bring on the high pressure goons, but it really never happened. Everyone that I dealt with at this dealership has been friendly and professional. I would strongly recommend this dealership and absolutely recommend Kama! I believe I've made some new friends. More

It was excellent and an easy process I was trying to buy a new car for college to get to and from. I was able to test drive a few cars and I was not rushed to make a decision. I left late I was trying to buy a new car for college to get to and from. I was able to test drive a few cars and I was not rushed to make a decision. I left later that night to test drive other cars at other dealers but the next morning I went back and got the Chevrolet Malibu and I am extremely happy with it. I strongly recommend buying any car at Lou Bachrodt! More

Disappointing experience I had an appointment with Joe Luy. on a Saturday at 10am. He was with another customer and had us work with Joe Thornton from the VW area. Joe Thorn I had an appointment with Joe Luy. on a Saturday at 10am. He was with another customer and had us work with Joe Thornton from the VW area. Joe Thornton was young and not very professional. Despite this, I agreed to purchase the car that day. It was agreed that they would clean the car (convertible with a light top had been parked under a tree for some time), install a hitch for my bike rack. and check a slight shaking that we noticed in the car. I made it clear that I needed the car by the following Wednesday, with the hitch because I had a race in MI and needed to attach my bike rack. I dropped a check off for the car on Monday. When I showed to pick up the car on Wednesday there were many issues. The car was filthy for one. When you purchase a brand new car, you expect it to be delivered clean. Especially when the condition of the car was pointed out and it was agreed that it would be cleaned. I was disrespected by the VW manager and made to feel like an inconvenience. The car did not have a front license plate on it. Joe T. suggested that I didn't need it, as long as I had it in the car I would be fine. I insisted that it be installed before I took the car. It is illegal in IL to drive without a front plate. While Joe T. was installing the floor mats, he did something (still not sure what he did) and said "xxxx I F#%*ed that up". This was said right in front of me. I did take the car that day with the understanding that I would bring it back the following week to have it cleaned properly and the shaking checked out. Once I brought it back, it took two days to get it done. I inquired about some type of compensation for the miserable experience I had and was given two free oil changes...I get two years of free maintenance with the purchase of my new car. Joe Luy told me he would give me a call the following week about further compensation. That was four weeks ago and I have not heard a thing. Suggestions of useful compensation would start with a heartfelt apology for the way I was treated and could have included future detailing packages, a year subscription to VW Car-net service or some VW merchandise. I have to say that Courtney Karau in the service department is fantastic and I will continue to bring my car in for service because of her. Unfortunately, I will not be buying any future cars from Lou Bachrodt based solely on this experience. More

Narrowing our search for our Colorado Prosper took the time when we first stopped at Lou Bachrodt in mid-August to review the large selections of Chevy Colorados as well as other trucks on Prosper took the time when we first stopped at Lou Bachrodt in mid-August to review the large selections of Chevy Colorados as well as other trucks on the lot. We were not able to spend much time that day as we were also grand-parenting that day. We spent more time online reviewing the trucks and then scheduled a visit with Prosper over the phone. His friendly, relaxed and courteous approach helped us as we narrowed our search and selected the Colorado which we purchased. More
