This is the second Ridgeline I purchased from this dealership. I had no intention of buying a new vehicle until I recieved a letter offering me a trade amount that seemed to good to be true. I contact dealership. I had no intention of buying a new vehicle until I recieved a letter offering me a trade amount that seemed to good to be true. I contacted Tara in internet sales and she sent me an offer on a new Ridgeline Black Edition that I couldn't pass up. When I got to the dealership, I met Bino who was a delight to work with. Brilliance honered the trade amount from their letter and the deal was done in minutes. I did have to wait quite a while to get to the finance office, but once I did Dan was a pleasure to work with and we got the final paperwork signed and completed in a matter of 15 minutes. This was by far the easist car buying experienc of my lifetime. No games, no surprises. Direct and transparent. More

From Crystal Lake over the past 15 years, and their commitment to customer satisfaction and a truly no-pressure buying experience remains unmatched. From the sales team through financing, the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. It was especially meaningful to work with the same finance manager who helped me with my very first purchase 15 years ago—an incredible testament to their consistency and dedication to long-term customer relationships. If you’re in the market for a reliable make, go see Rich Wicker and Dan Schmidt, the finance mgr! You won’t be dissatisfied. More
