After making contact with the internet sales team at Oak Lawn Toyota, they were able to schedule an immediate appointment the very same day. I arrived and was greeted by Steve, the sales manager who introdu Lawn Toyota, they were able to schedule an immediate appointment the very same day. I arrived and was greeted by Steve, the sales manager who introduced me to Edwin who assisted me in purchasing the vehicle I wanted. I was very particular about getting a V6 and other specific options. The vehicle I wanted was ordered and resulted in a two month waiting period due to my specific options. Edwin was great with staying in constant communication with me and giving me updates on when my car would arrive. After the car arrived, Oak Lawn Toyota made the processing of the transaction very easy. They also gave me a very fair trade in value for my vehicle which I was also pleased with. I recommend anyone looking for a vehicle to consider purchasing a Toyota, not only for the quality of the vehicle but also for the amazing customer service this dealership provided which I would consider second to none. I’m very happy with my 2023 Toyota Camry. Thank you Oak Lawn Toyota! More

I bought my first Toyota as a college student more than a decade ago. I was in the market for a new car, but knew that inventory right now is very limited. I wanted a Hybrid Highlander XLE with black leather decade ago. I was in the market for a new car, but knew that inventory right now is very limited. I wanted a Hybrid Highlander XLE with black leather interior. I knew I was probably going to have to buy new because hybrids and used cars are in very short supply so I was on every Toyota call list from Chicago to Kanosha. I got a call from Erica at OLT every time they were allocated a Hybrid Highlander. Edwin was my sales associate and I was very clear that I wasn’t buying until I had everything I wanted. I cannot stand a pushy sales associate and he was patient as I turned down not one, but two brand new Hybrid Highlanders because one had an interior I hated and the other wasn’t the right trim. The night after I turned down the second option, I got a call that someone had traded in a 2021 Hybrid Highlander XLE with low miles. I went to the dealership a few hours later to check it out and it had quite a few scratches on the doors so Steve sent it to the body shop to see if they could get them out and called me back a few days later to take another look. It wasn’t perfect, but they did a great job and it was everything I wanted. Marty in finance was absolutely wonderful to work with. The only part of the experience I didn’t enjoy was whoever is in charge of the optional add ons (rust and paint protection) and accessories was very pushy and said at least 20 times that I had only 2 weeks to purchase the add ons. I get it’s his job, but if I’m not interested, I’m not interested. Overall I had a great experience, it is now a few weeks later and I love my Highlander! More
