Honesty is not something that you would normally think of with a car dealership. There are countless stories out there of crooked salesmen and people getting taken advantage of.When my 90 year old grandma told me that she needed a new car and wanted my help, I had to think long and hard, plus do some research on reputable dealers and salesmen to ensure that she wouldnt get taken advantage of.We settled on Ray Dennison, which seems to stand out among the other dealers in reviews and word of mouth.We were promptly greeted by the salesman, Chris Kamp. After going through her needs and budget to settle on just the right car, he worked extra hard to get it into her price range. Then, after the deal was done, spent an extra hour or so with her to explain all of the new features that are technologically far advanced from her old car.When we left, there wasnt even the slightest feeling of being taken advantage of, but a feeling of relief that we had found the right deal at the right place with the right salesman.Even a month after the sale when she had a problem with the car (which turned out to be her not understanding how to read the new display properly,) he took the time out of his day to come to her aid and help her.I must say that Chris has restored our faith in dealerships. While Im not in the market for a new vehicle, as Im moving out of the country soon, I would have to say that if I were, this is where I would go. Without a doubt, I would have Chris be my salesman.

As always, Ray Dennison Chevrolet was super easy to work with for my service needs. I had made an appointment to get brakes replaced and was given time estimate for the work to be completed. Love receiving the initial email and then the reminder text about the appointment. I was welcomed by a friendly staff member at each step of the process. Added bonus: the replacement was completed in a much shorter amount of time. Cant say enough good things! Every staff member is friendly, efficient, and always helpful. Highly recommend the Ray Dennison team!

As I spoke with Jeff (service manager) and explained to him. I dont hold Ray Dennison INC, him, or anyone at the dealership responsible. They were just doing their jobs and fixed my Colorado. In fact Jeff went well above and beyond to helping me. However, I do have a problem/issue with the product. My electronic steering assist went bad on my 2016 Colorado. It has 76,000 miles and is out of warranty. Of the 76,000 miles, at least 95% of those miles are on highway, traveling to Virginia from Illinois to visit family, not towing, or hauling large payloads and not being mistreated in any way. Ive had all of my service work performed at Dennison and even bought tires and had them installed there. There is no reason for the steering to go out on any vehicle that is being used as gently as I drive it. The thing that upset me the most was that in 2015 Chevy had a recall on Colorados for the exact same reason. I brought it to Jeffs attention and even though he worked to get me a 50% reimbursement on the repair, it still shakes my confidence about the reliability of this vehicle. Though I wouldnt have been happy, I could have understood the steering going out on the truck if I was abusive, or off-roading it, hauling heavy payloads, etc. While I do appreciate the effort Jeff put into getting me the reimbursement, when the time comes for a new vehicle, Ill be looking for a different product.

I enjoyed my “waiting room experience” while waiting for my oil to be changed. I was greeted with a huge smile from the get go! My salesman and my finance guy came out to say “hi”. The oil change and tire rotation was quick. However I was extremely disappointed with my car wash. It was brought back wet, the dust wasn’t even cleaned off the back of the car. I expected the treatment I had when I first came it with a spot free car when I left. I had to completely rewash and wipe dry to get all the water spots off! Very very disappointing from my usually happy experience there.

Bill and Gary made my decision to purchase a new car an absolutely great experience. All of my questions and concerns were answered and I was perfectly at ease through the whole process. I have bought many new Chevys over the years but this purchase was the best experience that I have had buying a car.

I like them very much everyone there are always helpful I have bought several cars and trucks there and will always try to buy more again there. They to me have a great service department everyone there are also very nice they always fix whatever is wrong. I even tell other people about your place for the service department and your sales people how good they are to me. I always recommend Ray Dennison to people all the time if they are looking for a vehicle to go there.

Experience was great, service was prompt and well communicated. Only thing I would have thought would be after spending $7500 my vehicle would have been washed to rid any fluids or handprints from it. Little things to go above and beyond make a big difference.

To be truthful my wife and I stopped in to visit. We had been talking about trading down the line but didn’t feel now was the right time. The vehicle we were driving the mpg wasn’t good at all. We had talked about something with better mpg but like I said didn’t think now was the time. But there on the showroom floor was a 2021 Colorado a real eye catcher. I went in to talk to John Dennison the next thing you know they pushed it outside so we could drive it. To make a long story short that afternoon we left in our new Colorado. Special thanks to John Dennison, Charlie Vaccaro, Drew Shephardson, and Amit Marc these made it a east smooth transaction. We’ve bought from Ray Dennison for years and can’t even imagine going anywhere else.

Eric, Lawrence, and Gary were all awesome! They were very personable. The helped me through my entire experience and made it smooth. They listened to my needs and got a great deal!

Everyone at the dealership was very welcoming and nice to deal with. The dealership itself was absolutely spotless! My salesman, Cory Waller was absolutely awesome! He even found I was eligible for a first responder/medical professional discount. (Great job to Chevy for showing support for us medical professionals!) Cory walked me thru the entire process and was very patient and answered all my questions. I was surprised to hear from him a couple days later when he called to see how I was liking the Malibu and to see if I had any questions or concerns about my purchase. Overall great job and I will definitely be telling everyone to go to Ray Dennison for their next car!

I had the greatest experience here. I bought a used vehicle in February. The sales team is very nice and professional, especially that of my salesman, Scott Hansen. He greeted me outside in the snow, took me inside and made it feel as if I had been there before even though it was my first time ever being there. He built up a great rapport, was very clear about the sale and easy to understand. This dealership holds up on a deal and goes above and beyond for their customers! I highly recommend this dealership!! New or used, I would buy from them again!!

This was my first time buying a car on my own, and everyone at Ray Dennison was SO nice and knowledgeable, not at all pushy or high pressure! My situation wasn’t favorable, my 2015 Equinox went belly up and I still owed $12,900 on the car! John Dennison worked really hard to find me something that wouldn’t slaughter my budget, and my sales consultant was Scott Hansen and he made the whole interaction wonderful and did not add ANY stress to an already stressful situation. They bent over backwards and went above and beyond the call of duty to help me. I will definitely be coming back when it’s time to upgrade!

I contacted Dennisons Sales department both via a web query and a phone call. In both cases, they were helpful and prompt in their response. Everyone I worked with, including Pamela Frick, Lawrence Hutchinson, Brett Jennings, and Curt Crozier were very helpful. I walked in with a clear of idea of what I wanted, and they made it happen. Thanks for your professionalism and excellent customer service.

Dealing with Curt Durm and Gary Geraci on our vehicle purchase was great. Top notch in my book. Our salesman Curt, was fantastic to deal with. He was courteous, up front and honest. He made sure we were getting what we wanted. Gary, the finance officer was the same. Gary worked really hard to make the deal and we received everything we asked. Excellent vehicle. Excellent warranty. Excellent sales experience. Me and my wife are very happy and will definitely go back for our next vehicle purchase!!

We were looking for a Malibu. This was our first time buying a sedan in a long, long time. Our salesman was Dennis Dutton. Dennis could not have been more professional or better to work with. He was candid and patient, working to get us a great deal. I was so impressed with how easy and comfortable the process was. The gentlemen in the finance department were easy to work with and answered all my questions. It was a very positive experience. We will return to Ray Dennison and Dennis Dutton for our future transportation needs. We love our new Malibu! Thank you, Dennis!

I went in for an oil change an they did an amazing job. They hooked the computer up to my suv to scan for codes to see what may be wrong. Its the camshaft.. My engine light is on. The camshaft part needs to be checked out because the oil change hasnt fixed the problem. My fiance reset the engine light and it came back on right after. They also noticed that my windshield wipers were really bad an replaced them for me. Thank you.

Review №63

Purchased 4 cars over the last 30 years, Although took my van in for a module to be put on .Was told that the part would be $450.00 and labor, $120.00.Thought it sounded fair, but added fixing a door handle and installing a new lock in my drivers door, it jumped to over $1445.00! Picked up the truck, never had any problems with it shifting, now it wont shift into second, third !The door handle I had them to replace costs, 61.02, although the labor took them over 3.5 hours at $120.00 per hour of a total of over $400.+The lock in my door wasnt repaired because they said the arms for the lock in the door was missing, although no one has touched that doors mechanisms since I bought it 10 years ago, so I guess they disinigrated! They told me it would cost 1200.00 to repair the door, which I declined. My van is only worth mind you,$750.00!!!Now I have been in small business for over 45 years, and have Never charged twice to anyone after giving them a estimate, Id be in prison.They did put it on the computer as I requested although I was charged, $96.00 for that and $96.00 labor, I was also charged, $96.00 for visually looking at my broken seat belt, but it also wasnt repaired, I have been cheated, and will further this complaint not only with them, but also with BBB and States Attorney General. . I am a Senior and I know there are associations that will investigate fraud.To, Jeff, the service mgr. Who told me he saw how much for the install of the handle was and, said hed get back to me last Friday but no longer than yesterday, more or less just blew me off! They did refund $ back but before I took it in I had no transmission problems shifting and now I do. Whats with that?!

I had the most awesome car buying experience at Ray Dennison Chevy. The Salesman Mr. Charlie Vaccard made it the most Pleasant, Stress Free, No Hassles experience I’ve ever had a a Great Price! Charlie was very knowledgable, ran through every option and detail on the New 2021 Silverado Crew Cab I bought before I test drove. After hitting every Auto dealership in the area this morning Ray Dennison had the best assortment of trucks in the area. They had exactly what I was searching for. Finance Manager Amit Mark made it a breeze...That’s how car buying experience is supposed to go...Perfect! Thank You Ray Dennison Chevy!

I have always shopped at Ray Dennison for my cars, I have had the same sales guy every time. This time though, my sales guy was on vacation so i had to work with a new one and I had so much anxiety over it. Plus the anxiety of buying a new car, I already had. Let me tell you what, Scott Hanson is the man, he listens and understands and worked with my anxiety and got me what I wanted that not even my other sale guy could get me! I had a great time had little to no anxiety and I was so happy with my car! I was just having a casual conversation with him about my dream car I wasnt planning on getting it and this man made it happen! SCOTT GOT ME MY DREAM CAR and at a great price! i cried i was so happy! i LOVE my Chevy Equinox!!! Thank you Scott Hanson!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Your whole team at Ray Dennison is amazing and they deserve a rating of more than 10. Weve been doing business here for over 25 plus years and each time they beat our expectations. This time we had a new salesman as Lloyd had retired. Thank you Jim Waldon for your above and beyond help and for placing us with Curt King for an enjoyable time purchasing our new 2021 Equinox and Amit Mark was amazing with his financing knowledge. We will always purchase our remaining vehicles here without a doubt. Need a car, truck or suv contact Curt King to help you out. Happy New Year to all Ray Dennison employees.

Thank you so much to Scott Hanson at Ray Dennison Chevrolet in Pekin!! He worked hard for us to get us a brand new vehicle that fit our exact need. I’m a bargain shopper and shopped several dealerships all over Illinois. Scott put together a deal that saved us THOUSANDS!!! Plus we got tons of extra perks like free oil changes and more. Scott’s caring old fashioned service is something I haven’t seen in YEARS!! We will definitely be doing all of our business with Scott from now on I suggest you do too.

What a joke.
