Ron and Kevin are talkers and will tell you anything for a sale. They are terrible people!!! Do not do business with them. We put a large cash down payment down, had financial issues, and were not able to buy the vehicle. We went to get our money back and Ronald Cornstubble and Too tall Kevin said they could not give us our cash, that they did not have it. They told us to come back tomorrow and they would give us a check. asked if we wanted a newer loaded car for cheaper then what we were going to get. wanted to keep our money!! Went back and they said they would have to give us cash once they sold cars and got the cash back. Are you freaking kidding me? I told them they had to give us our money back. I told them we were going to get legal and police involved because they are stealing our money. Kevin then said he could no longer talk to me since I said legal. Ronald would not answer the phone and Voicemail box was full! My husband had to go to their parent company in Cahokia to finally get our money back. These people are horrible!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!!

Seeing all of these wonderful deals on carguru I decided to read the reviews. When I read the reviews, I decided to go find out for myself. After driving 30 minutes over the bridge to kennedi Auto sales I was met with a huge parking lot where I would say over 50% of the cars were sitting derelict with flat tires having not been moved for a long time. Not one of the cars that I had seen advertised was on the lot.

Excellent experience! Fast and super friendly staff. No pressure, easy and THEY WILL WORK WITH YOU. Would definitely recommend their business. Very satisfied customer😁

My kids got a vehicle there and they havent had it a whole month an already been in the shop for a waterpump and its still overheating. I dont believe they even put one on that cost my kids more money now its has to go back inThey need to give them there money back or another car. Dont buy anything from them.

Ive put $3500 down. Im going on my 3rd transmission in 3weeks Ive had the car. After charging me 300 to tow and replace fluids but no warranty on the replaced transmission. NO warranty on car Sold as Is. Now they want $2000 more to fix my car. I drove it for a day and the transmission overheated. The single mom in the service department says it happened to her too. Why u still work for these low life bottom feeders. These people need to be shut down!

I purchased a car on April 20th 2021. I gave them a down payment of 1,300 towards a 5,564.45 total. I do not know much about cars, so I took my uncle who also does not know much about cars but knows what to ask. We test drive the car but not far. We told the man we liked the car and asked him multiple times if there was anything wrong the car. He said there was nothing wrong with it except for an o2 censor and speed sensor for the front wheel. Along with some cosmetic issues which was fine. The last 2 weeks my car battery died which was fine. Then a pully on my engine became disconnected. Also the mechanic said their is evidence that it has been flooded. I told them this and asked for a refund they said no so I have lost a total of 1300 for my down payment and 200 on the battery. Advise you not to business here ever.

Almost all of cars are over 10 years old. There was no staff available. It seemed like it was abandoned. They didnt even answer the phone.

Do not go there ever

Sales staff are genuinely friendly and honest from my experience. My family has purchased several used cars from them as first time vehicles and more modest daily drivers. Service department is very helpful though they can get very busy at times and it can effect the quality of their work.Update: when I purchased thw vehicle a door handle didnt work but they agreed to paint and fix the door handle. After about a week I get a call to bring the vehicle in so they can install it. Fantastic, I swing by so they can replace the door handle and come to find out its not painted. All parties involved knew it needed to be painted but it wasnt coordinated with the service department apparently. They tell me they can paint it in a few hours come back later and theyll install it. No problem. Come back and because the humidity the paint job is messed up. Its an older car thats seen a couple of tours through some rough parking lots so its fine, whatever. They install the handle and it function checks good.Next morning Im driving to work and my window doesnt work. I take off my door panel and they did not reconnect any of my electrical connections. Not the power windows, the courtesy light, locks, nothing. Very irritating. Thats two stars. When my license plates come in and I go to install them I learn I have another problem. The nut rivet came loose on the license plate fastener and instead of taking the panel off and holding with a pair of piers they tried to cut it bolt head off. Realizing that wasnt going to work, they throw in the towel and take a self tapping sheet metal screw through the body of my vehicle that will eventually rust out. So now I get the pleasure of fixing that job aswell. One star.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!I needed a good car but my credit is not good. I have a great car!Ron is great!

I love Kennedi This is one of the best buy here pay here lots and all of Illinois my experience there was excellent I recommend this to all my friends their selection is awesome I found a vehicle that I want it it was a fair amount of money down and I got a great vehicle at a great price and there was no interest on the loan I realize my credit is not good but this company treated me like I was a king I worked with a salesman name too tall he was fantastic I love him and I recommend this company to all my friends please check that dealership out you will be happy like me ask for two tall

Very bad customer service cars way overpriced.

Brian was very nice, and worked with us, for the most part! Not much haggling. All in all, pretty easy and smooth experience!!

Look up the name ARCH VIEW AUTO that is the name they are under with the BBB.COM The BBB RECOMMENDS using caution when dealing with this dealership!!! They will hide important information from you and rob you blind DONT TRUST THEM!!!!

Best dealership in the county. Take very good care of there customers. AAA+++++

Here is the email that I sent Jeremy and he just replied that that there is nothing he will doi have all the records and documents showing exactly what i believe is unacceptable and I really would like to not have to deal with Ronnie at all if that is at all possible. Simply because he has already lied to me and caused me sleepless nights.. First off when i first called the dealership and he picked up the phone and ansured what few questions i had on the car which was.... Is it available? It does get 40 to 50 miles a gallon? And is their anything wrong with the car? He told me that their was not one thing wrong with the car those were his exact words and he never trys to mention anything about the Salvage Title not until after i had someone from work drop me off up their because i had no car at the time and he made sure to get the 2500 down payment from me and have me fill out half the paper work and then he springs it on me now its real slick how he gives you no time to find out what a salvage title even means i had no idea but if he could have told me just a hour earler i could have read up on it and would have diffenetley not have bought the car to begin with. And on top of that he didnt even sell it to me at the salvage title value which is $ 4300 i have the tax papers on that is what the state of missouri appraised it at. So he sells me a car for $ 9000 that is appraised at $4300 and thats not all the ad that you had on the car clearly says that it get around 45 miles to the gallon. Well just a couple of days after i bought it i knew that was not at all accurate because it only gets 12 to 15 miles a gallon reason the IMA battery is out on the car which is a $ 2500 dollar item now to me that qualifies as one thing being wrong with the car and two things the would be the Salvage Title. Now i did drive it back up to the dealership to see if he could have it fixed you know since it was right after i bought it and of course because he assured me their was not one thing wrong with the car.... but instead of helping me it just said well that sucks and let me know that it was my problem... OK so there are two options that i think is more than fair and i really hope that you agree the option being i have already paid more than what the car is valued at so 1st option being we clear the car note... if that is not possible for you than option 2 would be i bring the car back and just get refunded the money i paid on it one of these options could surely work. i really hope that you can work with me on the matter you can reach me at --- --- ----Now dont just go off my reviews please look them up on the BBB WEBSITE AS WELL THE BBB RECOMMENDS NOT DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM AT ALL COST!!! The name that they are under is ARCH VIEW AUTO try looking up that name with their address and see what you find out!!!!!!!

This is has the most fake faced vehicles WARNING DONT BUY!! My vehicle pours water inside, the hatch doesnt work buttons are completely missing the rust was to be taken care of and what I got was what looked like a leaf stuck to my truck and painted white!Paired about 5000.00 too much for something that actually needs scraped.

** WARNING ** GO ELSEWHERE TO BUY A VEHICLE DO NOT SHOP HERE THEIR CARS ARE POOR QUALITY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. THEYRE NICE AND HELPFUL TO YOU ALL THE WAY UP TO THE POINT THAT THEY GET YOUR MONEY. IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENS AND U NEED THEIR HELP YOU ARE SCREWED.

BUYER BEWARE!!! All there cars are lemons! I repeat do not sign up to get screwed!!! I will never even think about looking at their cars. Bought a car with 63,000 miles on the odometer but turns out the car actually had almost 200,000 because they changed the Odometer!!

Bought a car Saturday. Car doesn’t work and it’s Monday. I told the guy I only had 1500, as a down payment, when I was done they charged me 2000 with the expectation of another 500 in 2 weeks. Can’t wait until they open so I can let them have it.

I had a great experience at Kennedys I was able to purchase a nice car thanks to Kennedys auto

This should actually get 0 stars. The staff buys and smokes marijuana right in front of the door. The vehicles are trash and so is the staff. My mother purchased a vehicle from here and it was in violation of the Illinois power train component law. They claim they did an oil change... it had several oil leaks and a busted oil pan. It had fumes filling up the inside of the vehicle from a broke heater core and wires were cut and so the car failed both safety and emissions. End result they tried to send us to their “friend” repair shop who would charge us half ($3750) of what the dealership was charging. DO NOT... I REPEAT... DO NOT GO HERE TO EVEN SEE IF THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE TRUE!!!! THEY WILL ROB YOU BLIND!!!

I called about my car which I took in on Wednesday it’s now Friday. They said drop it off for the day. I called everyday about my car and when I called Friday Gary the head of the service department I got yelled at for calling everyday. He screamed at me saying I shouldn’t be calling up there everyday. Well I’m sorry I need the car that I put 2600 dollars on. He said he would put it back together and I could just come up there at noon and get it. Well first off I’m not your kid or a kid so there is no need to scream at me. Second I have two jobs I need to get to. So yeah I wouldn’t recommend getting a car here at all. I was trying to get one of my friends to buy from there but no way!

If I could give a negative amount of stars I would. This was the worst car buying experience either my husband and I have ever had. We put a deposit on a car, and they were fixing a few things for us. However the day to pick it up kept getting pushed back. It got to the point we were wondering if we were ever going to see this car again! We finally went and got our deposit back. The salesman wed been working with kept trying to backtrack and things he was saying were starting to not make sense. It seemed most of their vehicles had some sort of issue. Even one of the cars in their showroom had a massive crack in the windshield. Will never be going back.

I am placing my review to rebut some of, if not ALL negative comments.Sincerely, I am submitting to you the way for you to get a car without a credit check and have a umbrella of protection.They will work with you if you have at least $1000 and want a car.I am on my 3rd car and am looking for the 4th.

COMPLETE FRAUDS! DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THESE THIEVES! I bought a car from them 1/12/18. As part of the deal they agreed to pay the sales tax. When I received my paperwork there was no information regarding the taxes being paid. I called the dealership and was told by the manager that it isn’t even possible to have them pay the sales tax and refused to let me speak with my salesman Derek and hung up on me! They scammed me out of almost $500!

Suck really my sister just brought a car from there less than 24 hours of her having the car the motor went out and Kennedi told her she has to replace the motor herself! She 9months pregnant she just wants a reliable car for her and her kids. She’s a hard working mother that just stoping a week ago and she’s due in a week! This is wrong in so many levels please no one go here!

Brad was genuine

A customers experience is the key to success. That is why we here at Kennedi Auto Sales strive to be the best in customer satisfaction. We would like to have your business, but would more enjoy earning it.

Not sure not answering their phone during business hours. Inquiring about an electric vehicle on their lot but buying elsewhere

Worst experience!!!! Sold us a truck that had major transmission problems, within 48 hours. Returned it back to be fixed which cost us $750, and they fraudulently registered it in Missouri and I live in Illinois. So now Im stuck with a vehicle I cant drive. Ron and Jeremy are two of the biggest CROOKS. Beware of the paperwork. Beware of the Vehicles because they dont inspect them.

The guy was nice,but we test drove three cars,and all three were in need of MAJOR repairs.Third time was the charm,we left and wont be going back....EVER.Very poor cars.

Collinsville location has best staff and good people skills. I must add that Ron and Jeremy are the best when it comes to quality used cars (I bought a Ford Taurus 12 years ago, its still on the road for me, praise God); and I recommend them every chance I get to others.

WORST DEALERSHIP YOU COULD EVER PURCHASE FROM. We put $3,000 down on a $7, 000 car. The dealer assured me it was a good car although he never allowed us to go to far in the car. He rushed us through the process of deciding whether or not we wanted it and lied multiple times about the price of the car. Some of their offices dont even have electricity in them. Their roof is falling apart. How can you sell a car when you can barely maintain the upkeep of the building.? Anyways, we drove away with the car, 2 out of the 3 days we actually got to drove the car it was in the shop! They lied and told us that we had a 7 day warranty with the car just to tell us they havent offered warranties in 30 years. The staff is biased and they do not care for your struggles. The financing guy, Jeremy is horrible and has no intention of helping you recieve any money or anything back for your troubles. We lost $3000 to have drove a car for 1 full day and since weve chosen not to keep the car because of all the extra money we would have to invest we still have no transportation. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY. !!! THEY ARE LIARS AND SCAM ARTIST!

Great customer service on lot. However I had an issue with my viechle I purchased from them by the time I got it home less than an hour later and they said because I bought it as is they couldnt help me.

Worst car buying experience ever. They claim interest free, but the intetest is in the price often well over any book value. I would never suggest sending anyone to this place. On top of the already over priced sticker Ive dumped another 1000 into my vehicle. If you buy a vehicle here make sure you get a 3rd party warranty. Zero doubt you will need it.

I hated this place, theyre very unprofessional, their cars are over priced WAYYYYY above the Kelly blue book value and theyre not quality products. This one in collinsville isnt s good idea to go to so dont waste your time or money!!!! Dont say I didnt try to warn you!!!!

The Collinsville location is the best place to purchase a new or used vehicle Ron and Jarred are fantastic and they will always make sure you are satisfied before you leave the lot, and if you have any questions or issues theyll be there for you and resolve the issue. 5 stars :)

If you’ve bad credit, this is the place for you! Customer service is great too!

They will take advantage of you . i bought an 08 hyundai elantra from them last year prior to buying the car they promised to fix the the door that wouldnt lock and the rpm gauge that wasnt working . I gave them the car to put in shop and it sat their for 2 weeks with them giving me the run around about obtaining the parts for it. when i got the car back nothing was fixed and even worse the brakes were worn down and the a/c wasnt working. i should have walked away hen the Pontiac i was testing started to smoke and spew oil and they still tried to sell it to me.

Honestly wish i could give zero stars. i called to try and negotiate a price for a mustang. they have it over priced by $4000. KBB listings says fair market is priced at $2,160. the second i told him that price he got mad said were no where close and hung up before i could even speak another word. they didnt even listen to the fact that i have a trade in.

The salesman Ron gave me false information about the mileage which was 155xxx on the SUV that I bought. Few days later after buying the SUV I was trying to find out the mileage information so I can buy the warranty from Kennedi Auto Sales but the finance manager told me I no longer can buy the warranty from them because the mileage was 250,000. How am I suppose to be taking care of if Ron lie to me. They trick me big time and very poor customer service. This is a big disappointment and I do NOT recommend buying a car at Kennedi Auto Sale.

The WORST experience ever. Bought my first car here and was extremely excited. They do not follow through in the deals that they make. They are not honest and will say anything to make you buy a car. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!!

First impression is not good. Called belleville store was put on hold for 5 minutes, no one answered phone. So i called the collinsville store and was also on hold for 5 minutes plus. To me thats a very bad business practice. I wont even try to a buy a car here. Sorry but if you want to sell cars you cant leave customers on the phone forever!

Very good service amd thr employees are just great great

One of the saleman there was very rude and shady. If you have plans to buy a car be on guard.

I went here to purchase a vehicle, after working out a deal and shaking a salesmen hand, low and behold another one of the salesmen steps in and sells it out from under me. That is very rude and disrespectful, when I shake a mans hand I am giving him my word and my word is my bond.

Great and fast customer service!!!!

Over priced

Just an fyi. Do not ever buy a car from Kennedi Auto Sales. They will sell you a vehicle that wont pass safety or emissions. Then they will trick you into bringing it back to them to either fix or trade in, just to repo it behind your back. This company is shady, and ran by people who think its funny to screw you.

I brought a used kia it had some things wrong with it but they told-ed me about most of it and the rest was little stuff. I would buy another car there no problem.

Cars need to be cleaned and inspected better

Two wrongs don’t make it right the owner knows what I MEAN!

The second vehicle I purchased is a complete POS, which sat on the lot for years. Now after purchase, no one is available to schedule repairs for days. When I finally get to attempt scheduling a drop off and pick up time, Im told theres 12 people ahead of me smh. So Im supposed to leave car I obviously need, for A few days.

The ads they have lead you to believe $500 is all you need for a down payment. Thats a huge lie!!! I just called and the minimum down payment is $1300. If they mislead you in the ad theyll scew you on the sale .

Lots of cars great prices honest dealers

Used car sales

Good cars, great customer service

Bad I call ahead to see a truck and the motor was knocking and the tire was on flat and the prices are redicqlious junk cars

The worst no help gave me an application to run credit, didnt asked what I was interested in, had to find help

Ridiculously high down payments for the cars they have, but I guess thats what to expect at a buy here pay here lot.

Dirty stinky smells and looks like a 70s ashtray!!

Car my parents bought. Ron sold them a rattle trap Cadillac.

Have good used cars

Great service and good deals

How Much Do They Want For Down Payment With Poor Credit ???

Very prompt service.

They sell junk cars.

Make

Got a truck from there and the same day it wouldnt start 😒

Good finacing

Worse place ever they will screw you in a heart beat just bought from them last Thursday and had problems with it every since I will be spreading the word to not but nothing there from them because all they sell is junk.
