Great dealership have purchased may cars from Monken over the years Nissans, Toyotas and Chevy. They are by far the best dealer in Southern Illinois for vehicle shopping. The aftercare is top rate. Thanks Monken!
I had my oil changed and tires rotated. They had me in and out in no time. Much appreciated!!! Thank you, Mikey, Mike and Lucas!!!
Great staff & service! Highly recommend for all of your vehicle service needs.
Love I can drop off before work and get a call for pick up when all done. Service dept always greats me with a smile on their face.
Staff was very nice, courteous and helpful. Service was fast too. I really loved that. I am always a satisfied customer when I take my vechicle there.
I very rarely if ever leave reviews for places, much less car dealerships, but I have to for Monken. I spent over a month dealing with dealerships, many of them shady, untruthful, etc, and never could work a deal on a new Tahoe due to items I mentioned above. However, Mark King at Monken was nothing but honest and straight up throughout the whole buying process. He went above and beyond to make the process as easy as it possibly could have been. The lady in the finance office (forgive me I can’t remember your name) was entirely helpful, and had me in and out in less than 30 minutes from when I walked into the dealership. I drove almost 4 hours to pick the vehicle up, and will give them first shot in the future, even with the drive. It was worth it. Thanks to Mark and every one else at Monken!-Hunter
Great people to work with! My salesman Ryan was very nice, professional and not at all pushy. He helped me find the perfect car at a great price. Kim Monken was an absolute joy to work with in completing the paperwork and I am very happy with my experience with this dealership. I am very happy to refer them to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle.
I can not express how satisfied we are with our recent purchase. I appreciate the honesty and willingness to listen to our needs. I definitely will do business with Mark again. We need to be able to add more stars. Pizza wa awesome.
Great team. Sent my information ahead of my arrival spending things up. Everyone was appreciative of my business.
Very clean waiting area, hot coffee, free wifi! Friendly, courteous staff!
Great service friendly staff always ready to help you get the best deal. No pressure salesman. Butch was very easy to work with. Always ready to help us.
I really appreciated the friendly atmosphere at Monkens! It was great to work with Butch. They got me into the vehicle I wanted and made the transaction close to painless! I have already recommended to friends. Everyone asks where I got my vehicle and I am proud to tell them!Thank You Butch!
Dealer was amazingly well prepared with vehicle closing documents. I totally trust Monkens and was able to sign through all documents in just a few minutes and be on my way with vehicle. Love the car too!
The staff is very friendly and professional and will get you the best deal
Loved the calm can do attitude from Butch. The confidence in the product he was presenting, was unshaken. I appreciated that, as well as, A limited warranty even on a 4,470.00 van...
Perry was great to work with. Made the process quick and easy, and was extremely helpful. I’ve also purchased many cars from Tony and he is also great to work with. Highly recommend purchasing from here. Great group of salesmen and amazing customer service. Couldn’t be happier with my purchases.
They are really good at doing their repairs and i highly recommend taking your car there
Oil change. Just drive in. Friendly service
Recently I visited this dealership with my Son who was purchasing a vehicle. They came highly recommended by a friend. He contacted (Sean) the salesman with the type of vehicle he was looking for and he located it and had it ready for pick up when we arrived. Sean as well as the other staff were very friendly and made the process very easy. There was one minor issue with the vehicle and they were very nice and quickly contacted our local dealership to have it taken care of so we would not have to make another trip there as we drove several miles in order to purchase the vehicle through them. I would recommend them to others in search of a new or used vehicle.
Our last two vehicles have been bought from Monken and the main reason is because of the service we have gotten from them! Whether it’s buying a car or bringing it in for maintenance...they are second to none!!! They truly treat you like family and want nothing more than for you to be pleased with your purchase and service! We will continue to buy from them in the future!!! Check them out...you will not be disappointed either!
Melody and mike were amazing! They worked with us and got us some great deals! Weve bought 3 vehicles from them and couldnt be happier!! Highly recommend them!!
Hands the best experience at a dealership I have ever had! Sean was very helpful and made the buying process a breeze. They had all of paperwork ready to go in no time. We found exactly what we wanted, went for a test drive and drove away new truck owners. Will definitely go back the next time we are in the market for a vehicle and will recommend to all my friends and family!
I personally do not like car shopping. I always feel pressured to buy and felt they wanted me to buy the most expensive vehicle I could not afford. Shopping at Monken was the most pleasant experience I have ever had buying a vehicle. There was no pressure by our sales rep Mark King. We found a vehicle we liked, test drove the vehicle. He allowed my wife to take the vehicle the next morning and kept it overnight again. I called Mark King and we agreed to the price and terms with no issues over the phone. We returned the next day to sign the agreement and give pre-approval letter from our bank. Mark worked with me on several option even comparing to buying new with discounts. This was a smooth transaction. I would HIGHLY recommend giving them a shot at your business and be sure to ask for Mark King!!!
I have never had to fight to get my financing finished at a car dealership before especially when I walked in with financing in hand ( already pre-approved). I went to drive the SUV I had picked out online and my salesman was nice until I handed him the paperwork saying I made things easy with financing in hand. He seem to completely change and really didnt want to talk to my husband and I anymore. Then he left us sitting at his desk while going in and out putting plastic plate bracket advertisements on their new cars. He finally comes back in and says it will take financing 2 to 3 hours of faxing things back in forth with your financier to finish the deal, whats you schedule look like for Monday. Then said someone will call me Monday morning to finish things up. I finally called Monday afternoon after not hearing anything and I was told I needed to have a big down payment to get my vehicle. I said no we didnt discuss anything about big down payment. I called my financier and they said no everything is all taken care of already and there was no down payment required on my part. I called Monken back spoke with Mike in financing and he said that he was doing all the leg work for my financier and they didnt know what they were talking about. I said the amount of the vehicle we had agreed upon and he says oh we forgot to allow for your trade in that we had on the paperwork I thought was real funny that got conveniently lost in paperwork and thought I would just shell out a down payment. But Mike didnt hesitate to take my keys when we were signing paperwork even before I got everything put over in new SUV. Very cautious about doing business with again. I guess real good thing I bought a really good SUV that should last for a long time.
I was going to be taking a trip and wanted to have my oil and fluids check. Monkens accommodated me with professionalism. Thank you to all the persons involved to give the sense of security that my vehicle was up to par
Monken GMC has a great sales team & service! Both of our vehicles were purchased there & both times the process was easy. Lance helped us with our most recent purchase & was more than happy to answer my many questions. Everyone is always very friendly. Would definitely recommend!
Came in for an oil change and tire rotation, and to check my washer fluid reservoir. I was in and out quickly and the part needed was in the next day. Polite customer service. It was a very pleasant experience, as always.
Excellent service esp the allignment tech.. Had My truck at 4 different tire shops trying to fix a pull to the right each time they put it on the allignment machine and said it was good . My wife made one call to monkens and with one allignment the truck drove better than the day I purchased it I highly recommend them!
We have previously bought cars from Perry in the past and knew that we wanted to buy locally. My wife was in need of a new car and Perry went above and beyond to help her find the right one. After test driving about 6-7 SUVs and 1 car she decided on a Buick Envision and is very pleased with it. Perry made every accommodation possible for her to find out what vehicle was best for her. We have always had superior service with Monkens and will continue to do business there. Thank you for a GREAT experience.
Purchased two vehicles from this dealership and both times have been a professional and easy. We love the work they did to find the right car us. The service has been great to us as well taking care of us on multiple occasions.
Bill Harrel was my salesman and he was amazing and I would recommend him to anybody. He will be who I go see when I need to update my vehicle. He went above and beyond to help me when no one else would.
The crew at Monken is second to none. They made our process simple and truly had our best interest in mind. Thanks to Lance, Tony, Kim and the rest of the staff for making our vehicle purchasing experience the best!
I had my tires rotated in February and in May MY WHEEL FELL OFF my car!! I called Monken and spoke to Lance, who at first said he will do whatever it takes to make it right and he would call back the next day. I had to call back 3 days later and Lance said they could not do anything for me as it was not their fault. No one else touched the tires from February until the tire fell off in May. Lance took no responsibility for this incident.
What a refreshing feeling to receive service this good again. Amy you are the greatest! Thank you so much.
Great service and team! Tony and the team were friendly, honest, and customer oriented. I highly recommend shopping for a new or pre-owned vehicle at Monken Chevy, Buick, GMC!
I wouldnt have went to any other dealership! Kim made the process easy and fun. Monkens will work very hard to find exactly what it is you want and stay within the price range you need to be in. Their Service and Parts Department has been very helpful as well with some accessories we have ordered for one of our vehicles.
Excellent quick in & purchase & the most polite dealership Ive ever been at, I recommend to anyone if you want a beyond hand shake deal stop in at Monken you,LL be pleased, ask for Butch !
I have purchased my last 5 vehicles from the Monken dealerships They ALWAYS ensure that you are truly satisfied with your purchase along with any service that they perform on your vehicle. I will continue to count on Monkens for all of my future vehicle purchases. They are outstanding to work with.
We had outstanding service and Sean was a great salesman. Best experience at a car dealership that I ever had. I will definitely be back when I decide to upgrade my truck.
Friendly, listens, and wasnt pushy and worked hard to finish the deal
Service managers are working hard to fix door sensor problem. I wonder if there is a ghost in the door, its turned into a head scratcher for all of us. They are keeping me going with a loaner vehicle.
My sister lock her keys in car. Went with where car was bought MONKEYS. With vin# was able to cut key for 48 dollars with chip. AWSOME JOB
We Were in need of a second Shop Vehicle & Monken Saved the Day!!! Thanks To Butch & everyone on the sales team @ Both Centralia locations. We scored a sweet deal & brought home a GREAT TRUCK.
Best vehicle purchasing experience ever. They also have an excellent service department. We have bought our last two vehicles here.
Very amazing service! They were very honest and they were friendly towards us the whole time. We will be back!
Bought a Chevrolet Traverse a year ago!! Love it woh passion all my kids fit and needed them to work with me!! They did great and even called a few months back to tell me happy birthday!!
The people are kind and courteous. The service has been very good. Im in and out in a very timely manner
Great service and friendly people. They care about you getting the car thats best for you. Not just all about the money
Very helpful and friendly!
Drove into the service department and was greeted by some folks sitting at their desk staring at a computer screen. I asked them if they could do a quick 2 minute relearn on my mothers car that was purchased from them. They did an oil change and rotated the tires, and didnt reset the system and now the tire system light is always on. They said they didnt have time, and that I would have to come back later. I asked politely if I could use their handheld device to do it myself under their supervision, they said, no.. we dont loan our tools out, youll just have to come back later. Thanks for nothing. I work 6 days a week and the 70year old lady who owns this car is scared to death because you were to lazy to do the job right the first time. Very poor work ethic.
Very nice people. I didnt have a car through them BUUT anytime i had an issue with mine they got me right in to take a look at it!! Amazing team!!(:
Great place to purchase a vehicle. Every person we met was kind and helpful. Wonderful people work at Monken Chevrolet Buick GMC.
I have dealt with Tony for over 20 years and he has always been great.
The entire experience was fantastic. Warm and welcoming from the moment i walked in!
We are really happy with our purchase. Great vehicle and service. Monken also does a lot to benefit and support the community.
The entire experience was fantastic. Warm and welcoming from the moment i walked in!
Had waterpump replaced. Service dept was pleasant to deal with. Was informed within an hour of what my cars issue was. They explained my options and informed me of what costs were goin to be associated with the repairs. Most was covered under warranty. Was given a loaner car and repairs were complete after 3 hours. There are a couple Chevy dealers closer but Ill be makin the trip to Monken for future needs.
This place is filled with great employees.
Salesman was Frank Ray. He was GREAT and listened to all my needs and wants. I highly recommend asking for Frank!!
My experience has been very frustrating! I bought a 2007 Honda CR-V LX for $6000 which belonged to Kim Monkens niece March 5. It was on the lot and listed on their website. I thought going to a reputable car dealership would provide me with a better vehicle, than buying from anyone else. I have bought from them in the past. My mother has bought there. My sister even worked there. I know $6000 for a vehicle doesnt sound like a lot to some people, which I have been constantly reminded of by the salesman of how its just a $6000 vehicle, but for some of us, well....so I bought it. The engine seemed to run well, good tires, and so forth. It wasnt bad. It had some flaws which I thought I could live with; a scratch on the side and knowing it wasnt brand new; understandable. I signed paperwork and its mine. Get my keys and NO Key fob. Salesman neglected to make me aware of this. I asked him and Kim by telephone about this problem and nope cant help me.$150 fix for this problem. Drive it to town next day with my family and my son is in the back seat and says, Mom, you realize theres no head rest back here,. Nope. Salesman neglected to make me aware of this. I took it in for first oil change. They do some multiple point inspection and tell me it needs front brakes. What? I just bought it. $300! I took it in for the brakes and explained I had just bought it. I drove it and still heard noise, so I took it back. They checked it out and guess what. It needs back brakes. What?? Im upset by this point. Ive explained my situation to the salesman and Kim by phone and in person. No key fob, no back headrest, no spare tire( which I discovered when I got a flat and went to change and the rim was bent and tire flat). No resolution. Thank you Salem tire for fixing my brakes. Well. I have spent the hottest part of Summer with No air conditioning; condenser went out! All this in owning car just barely 7 months! I decided maybe I could trade knowing I would likely be in the hole, since i did have to finance. I go to Monkens during their last sale. I managed to speak to Kim Monken. I explained why I was there because I really dont think this car is going to last the winter and everything that is wrong with it. I explained I did not receive a key fob, no headrest on backseat, spare tire had bent rim and is flat, Ive had to replace front and back brakes, buy a new tire, and now condenser has went out! She growled about her neice and told me how vehicles are like our bodies and get old and parts get worn out. I ask her if they go over their vehicles and she said, yes we do; especially tires and brakes.. What? I decided to look at another vehicle in hopes of maybe being able to trade it in. Well, in this process, needless to say they wont give me much on trade and I was told that when I purchased this car I had the worst salesman they had! Im in disbelief! I went to them in hopes of getting a dependable used vehicle from a reputable dealership! Now, Ill be lucky if the car I bought from the owners neice even lasts thru the winter. Keep growling Kim; the things you do for family. I guess since I bought just a $6000 car Ill be a very disappointed, and disgruntled customer.
Very nice peopl3
Great family owned business. Very professional and friendly and ALWAYS willing to help out the community.
This is the only dealership our family will buy from! Excellent sales team and AMAZING owner! If they dont have it They will find it!
When I pulled up they looked at me Like I wasnt supposed to be there When I was leaving the munken. a wrapped Orange Munken vehicle followed behind me like 6 inches from my bumper all the way down the road
Thanks Scott for taking the time to show me the different vehicles today. Hopefully we can make a deal in the future.
Drove 2 1/2 hours to find that pics are very deceiving. Wasnt a wasted trip after all bought one the same day down the road at Jansen Chevrolet!!
I have had a great experience they really work hard to get you in the car you want. I personally dealt with Sean Hobson he made sure that he thought about me and called me when a great deal came up I totally recommend monken chevy. Super great people and awesome to work with
