Great experience in buying our C70. Bob was extremely helpful in getting the deal closed. He also told us about the Volvo Overseas Delivery Program. He explained the adventure that Volvo could offer us helpful in getting the deal closed. He also told us about the Volvo Overseas Delivery Program. He explained the adventure that Volvo could offer us by buying the car at the dealership, but "picking up the car in Sweden at the factory. He also told us how to look at the Volvo web site to see about the trip. We did take the offer and "picked up our car in Sweden". While we chose not to drive the car there, it was exciting and everything as advertised. It was one of the best trips we have ever taken. Hassle free, friendly people and exciting adventure. Our ten day trip to Denmark and Sweden cost us less than a long weekend in NYC! The people at Volvo travel were also extremely professional and very helpful with ideas. I have not taken any vacation that went as advertised and without a hitch. Can't wait to buy another Volvo and do it again. Now we have our C70 and loving it. Thanks Bob. More

We are customers for over 28 years, always treated fairly and with great attitude. They take their time to explain reasons/features. Super friendly and not pushy. Service is above excellent.

Highly recommend. My first Volvo. Bob was very knowledgeable which I would expect. However, after purchase he took the time to spend with me going through the car setting things up and showing me knowledgeable which I would expect. However, after purchase he took the time to spend with me going through the car setting things up and showing me how to use all of the features. Also, when it came to negotiating the price he was straight with me and cut out all the bs back and forth. I did a test drive and I when I walked out of the dealership the first night, I knew exactly what I would pay versus comparing against a range of guesses from some of the other dealers for other cars I was considering. Also, I failed to catch the name of the Finance Manager, but he was very helpful. I had some questions about transferring my plates and to make a long story short, we concluded our call with him saying, "We try to make things easy on you." And that's exactly what they did. More

The helpfulness, knowledge and thoroughness of the salesman and others at the dealership made the purchase of another Volvo a breeze. All questions answered and a complete review of the car's feature salesman and others at the dealership made the purchase of another Volvo a breeze. All questions answered and a complete review of the car's features upon delivery made the buying and delivery process a snap. I highly recommend Volvo of Lisle and Bob Makowka in particular. He knows his stuff, is experienced and is a low key, straight shooter. The entire purchase was smooth and easy. More

I have worked with Bob for the last six years for the leases of our family vehicles. I've always found him to be very knowledgeable about the product and willing to take the time to explain everything a leases of our family vehicles. I've always found him to be very knowledgeable about the product and willing to take the time to explain everything about the new car. He's always gone out of his way to accomodate our schedules. The service department has also been very accomodating in the scheduling of appointments and the quality of service that they provide. I would highly recommend this dealership when considering the purchase/lease of a new vehicle and for the service that they provide both in the sales and service areas. More
