My name is Matthew Tillapaugh aka "Tilly" and I am a sales professional here with O'Daniel Automart/Mazda. I have been with O'Daniel Automotive group for over 5 years and have been in the service industry my whole life. Therefore, I strive to make my customers experience with O'Daniel very unique and exciting. I tend to give my customers a sense of relatxation and confidence that I will take care of them at all cost. I have 2 children; my son Henry and daughter Victoria who enjoy going to the Zoo and taking small trips to any amusement park, swimming pool or museum in the area. They both enjoy playing sports and excel at school where you can presumably say they both are teacher's pets. I look forward to assisting you in the future!

Best Car Buying Experience Ever! I recommend O'Daniel Mazda and especially salesperson Matt Tillapaugh to anyone looking to buy a new car. I was impressed with Matt's knowledge and p I recommend O'Daniel Mazda and especially salesperson Matt Tillapaugh to anyone looking to buy a new car. I was impressed with Matt's knowledge and professionalism. I was equally impressed with his patience and how much I enjoyed working with him - I ask a lot of questions! After making a decision to purchase the 2015 Mazda 3 S Touring, everyone at O'Daniel made the final purchase process quick, easy and enjoyable. I loved my old 2005 Mazda, I love my new 2015 Mazda even more. I suspect I'll be a Mazda owner for life. Thank you Matt, thank you O'Daniel Mazda! Cindy Howard More

Worth the "Road Trip" !!!!!! Initial contact was with Matt Tillapaugh and it was smooth sailing from there. Matt assured me that the Beautiful Mazda Miata I saw on the internet wa Initial contact was with Matt Tillapaugh and it was smooth sailing from there. Matt assured me that the Beautiful Mazda Miata I saw on the internet was exactly the auto he had in his inventory. I live 90 miles away and was convinced a "road trip" was in order. Meeting Matt, and Ryan Keebler in Sales and Finance worked out great. Meeting Todd Jacquay, Sales Manager, was an experience that I never had in an auto dealership. All of these gentlemen deserve a 5 Star rating. Professionalism, Knowledge and Service......definitely worth the "Road Trip." More

Great Auto Purchase Experience My wife and I had been looking for a newer vehicle for a number of months, we stopped in at O'Daniel Mazda looking at the CX9, Matt answered all our q My wife and I had been looking for a newer vehicle for a number of months, we stopped in at O'Daniel Mazda looking at the CX9, Matt answered all our questions before, during and after the test drive. We deliberated over a number of automobiles then decided to purchase a new CX9, again Matt was outstanding with his willingness to finding us the vehicle we wanted - this was Saturday, by Wednesday the next week we drove off in our new CX9. The experience my wife and I had was wonderful, normally buying a vehicle your pressured by the sales people - not here with Matt. We felt very comfortable with the entire transaction. If asked by friends and/or family, I will recommend O'Daniel Mazda and specifically Matt Tillapaugh for sales. More

Never expected to be driving a new vehicle! When we began looking for a small 4WD SUV our budget restrictions led us to search for a used vehicle. We were thrilled when we met for our app't at O When we began looking for a small 4WD SUV our budget restrictions led us to search for a used vehicle. We were thrilled when we met for our app't at O'Daniel to discuss a few used vehicle options. Given our budget, we were struggling - only older models with lots of miles seem to be affordable, and we worried they wouldn't be reliable. Imagine our excitement when the new car sales manager proposed a new vehicle lease, with a lump sum up-front payment! For the same out of pocket expense, what we could afford now, we signed a two-year lease on a 2015 CX-5, and are THRILLED! No more worries about the upcoming winter, reliability, ongoing repair expenses... Thanks to the O'Daniel team for exceeding our expectations and meeting our needs! Jobs well done :) More

Typically you spend two hours just working out price of the vehicle. Not in this case. Matt was an excellent communicator and made sure I was comfortable with the price that we settled on. It was and has been the best experience I have ever had purchasing a car. Matt knows sooooo much about the CX 5 and has been able to answer any questions we have without even batting an eye. I have never owned a Mazda before but have only been told good things about them. I hope to drive this one until it drops and then buy another one! More

This Dealership Is Truly Fantastic Going to ODaniel Automart/Mazda on Illinois Road is one of the greatest car-buying experiences you can ask for. All of the employees are very friendly Going to ODaniel Automart/Mazda on Illinois Road is one of the greatest car-buying experiences you can ask for. All of the employees are very friendly and excited to help you with whatever questions, requests, or concerns you have. Not one of them was in any way rude or unhelpful, plus they are very easy to talk to. We bought a new 2014 Mazda3 i Touring and were thoroughly guided along the whole journey. Any questions we had regarding the vehicle interior or exterior, engine, price, additional available features, or how to properly handle the vehicle were answered in a pleasant and informational manner. The employees also completely made sure we understood the warranties, extra packages, and financing options. The car itself was taken great care of and extra orders we made were done in a timely fashion. Overall, our experience at the ODaniel Automart/Mazda dealership was excellent and we recommend them to anyone looking for a great and sincere experience when buying a car. More
