Best car buying experience I've had. Oak Lawn Toyota totally blew it out of the water as far as providing me with a great truck buying experience. I walked in knowing exactly what kind of Oak Lawn Toyota totally blew it out of the water as far as providing me with a great truck buying experience. I walked in knowing exactly what kind of truck I wanted and knew what I was willing to pay. Not once did my salesman try and push me or up sell me to a more expensive model. Once we had the ball rolling in the sales dept we moved onto accessories dept. like undercoating, extended warranty, so on and so forth. They didn't beat me over the head for hours as I've dealt with in the past. The accessories salesman knew what he was doing. Rather than going over every single accessory he narrowed down to the 2 most popular options and if needed he offered to explain all of the other great accessories. He was very friendly and personable. As with sales and acessorries departments the finance dept. did a great job too. Got me the best payment plan he could. Explained everything clearly and made quick work of all the paperwork. Overall Oak Lawn Toyota did a great job. Best dealership experience I've ever had. I would have no problem recommending a family member or close friend to Oak Lawn Toyota. Thanks for getting me into my new truck and keep up the good work! More

Service After the Sale -:( I would really recommend that anyone looking for a new Toyota or a used vehicle choose another dealership in the Chicago or surrounding area. I hate i I would really recommend that anyone looking for a new Toyota or a used vehicle choose another dealership in the Chicago or surrounding area. I hate it when someone has a bad experience and they rant, so let me just say they were great before the sale, answering all my questions and communicating well every step of the purchase. Where they received this fair rating is in service after the sale. Once they received payment and delivered the vehicle, they no longer were the same people. The Manager Sales Manager made a promise to fix a problem and didn't follow-up. return phone calls or respond to emails. When you buy a car, you have choices. Choose another dealer if service after the sale is important to you. More

Easiest Buy You Can Make I heard from a relative that he had bought all of his vehicles (12) from the same dealership. The drive from Indianapolis was quite a hike, but I took I heard from a relative that he had bought all of his vehicles (12) from the same dealership. The drive from Indianapolis was quite a hike, but I took a chance and made the drive. From the moment I pulled into the lot, I recieved phenominal customer service, great prices, and no product pushing. They actually recommended products I should decline. I would recommend this location to any individual searching for a car. More

My experience here was very positive with every step of the process of buying a car. The environment and attitude of the staff is low pressure and friendly. They aim to build relationships not just a one-time sale. Steve Hill and John Carnivele worked hard at making my purchase worry free. They were readily available to offer information and answer my questions. The transition from sales to financing with Jason Stoit was seamless. It was obvious to me the staff communicates well with each other. They really do work as a team which is really refreshing when buying a car. Thank you for the opportunity to work with a truly professional team. More
