Just recently purchased a 2014 Ford F250 Super Duty from this dealership and im happy to say that i chose a good dealership to purchase from. Everyone there was helping and caring. Answered all my questioned and help me with things that i didnt know about. My sales person βMattβ helped me out alot and was very professional with his work and helping me get my vehicle ready and prepared for me. Im happy i got to experience this place. I will definitely do more buisness with this Dealership. Thank You Illinois Valley Auto Group for letting me purchase a wonderful truck. I really enjoy it!π€π½
I could not be more pleasantly surprised with the friendliness, honestly, and complete customer service.I was in the market for a diesel pickup truck and drove 90 minutes to visit IVAG. I had the pleasure of dealing with Rose Kerlin who is fantastic. Her no pressure approach is perfect. She did not make me feel like I was dealing with a sales person.The truck I purchased had a part on back order and their service department was excellent at getting it installed and everything working like new.The value of the cars they have in stock is definitely worth seeing. Their competitionβs pale by comparison.I would give more stars if I could.Thank you Rose & the whole IVAG team!!Reg Bruce
My experience with Matt was amazing. Great staff and helpful. Would recommend to anyone buying a car! The owner was very nice as well.
Not Recommended, 16yr old Sons first truck $17,000, First week leaking radiator, gauges quit working so he couldnt see how fast he was going, bad wheel barring, a/c working halfway, promised us a safe vehicle for him and two days ago left him stranded 50 miles from home when the starter went out. Tried saying it was gonna be over $2,000 more to fix it. Needless to say, taking his truck somewhere else to get fixed because they will not get another dime from him. Highly recommend going somewhere else for a new vehicle........ The response below is a complete lie, we were promised this truck was sound and yes sold as is but not another 2 possibly now 3 thousand dollars worth of work, constantly having to put oil in in it
The only place I will ever buy a used truck from ever again. The team at Illinois Valley Auto Group is the best! I live in the south burbs of Chicago and have been looking for a dependable used truck for weeks with no luck. Spoke to Matt Kristenson on Christmas Eve and explained to him about my terrible credit and told him what I was in the market for.. I called there inquiring about a 06 f250 with really crazy low millage. Was told about another truck they had just got in as well.. By Saturday Matt had me approved for not only the f250 I called about but also for what I can only describe as my dream truck. A black on black, lifted, 4 door f-350.. After selling my soul for an hour and a half ride to Peru on Monday.. Lol.. I met Matt and took both trucks for a ride.. They were both great.. And after a few hours of paper work I was in my way home with the f350.. Couldnt be any happier with my purchase it looks new and most importantly it runs like its new. Thanks Matt I look forward to doing business with you again one day in the near future..
Customer service was amazing, I believe her name was Rose, I would definitely recommend talking to her!
By far, the best vehicle buying process we have ever had. The whole staff at IL Valley Auto was professional and knowledgeable. Matt was our salesmen. He was very personable and professional. He helped guide us to make not one, but two quality purchases. We are now happy owners of two Chevy Silverados. Thank you for all of your time. We appreciate your service.
Matt was of great help!! Finally found the Jeep Patriot that I have been wanting. Matt even washed my jeep for me. Thank you for all your help.
We had issues with the vehicle that we purchased right off the bat, but they knew about it and handled things very well. Evan and Rose were excellent to work with. Both very professional and respectful. I was very impressed with them and the business overall. Thank you all for taking care of my family and I.
Rose was very knowledgeable and friendly, and made sure I left in the vehicle I was looking for! She wasted no time, and I am very pleased with my experience! I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.
Just got home from buying our first family as a married couple. Was very nervous to travel so far out for a car and company we had no experience with. We walked in and honestly had low expectations from a smaller dealer (big car dealers out the a** by where we live) but no where by us was selling 8 seater cars which we NEED. Pictures online were spot on. We were approached immediately by Adan (sorry if spelling is wrong) who went over his knowledge of the car during the test drive. He was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We saw, drove, and purched the car in a matter of a few hours. Matt gave us a very detailed explanantion of exactly what we were purchasing on the paperwork side. No pressure sale experience. We will be recommending them to our family and friends. Very clean, sharp looking cars. Several other staff members came out to say hello. My 3 year old was with us and was treated like he was one of the gang with your team! Thank you!!. We are so excited to work with you again when the time comes!
Absolutely fantastic experience, great selection, and knowledgeable staff. I searched through quite a few lots looking for something that fit my families needs. Much better service than I had recieved at compeditors lots. Matt Kristensen arranged great financing options, and made the expirience quick and comfortable. I got a great deal in a very relaxed setting. I will always refer friends to IVAG and will absolutely return when Im in need of a vehicle. Ask for Matt or Adan, theyll take care of you!
I had an excellent experience purchasing a vehicle from Illinois valley Auto Group. This was my first non contact internet and phone purchase if a vehicle. The dealer handled everything perfectly. They delivered vehicle even though it was friday evening. Upon delivery the person that delivered it told me that they noticed the antenna was broken, and he called his boss. He said they were ordering a new one and would send it to me. I live an hour and a half from this dealer, and will definitely use them again. They were honest, and easy to work with. Top notch!
Had a excellent experience at Illinois Valley Auto Group. Came in on a Saturday, and talked with Matt, who is a super awesome guy. I would recommend to a friend.
Came from out of town and they worked with lenders to get me approved after being denied. They definitely made the buying process seamless and easy. Thanks, I love my car. Would definitely go back here.
My family has bought multiple vehicles here and had a great experience with every purchase. We also do all our regular maintenance here as well as have had upgraded tires and wheels added to vehicles, lift kits, and leveling kits. This store never disappoints.
Great place go buy a car there and see matt
Had such a great experience buying through them! Rose and their manager really went above and beyond for me to be able to find me what I really love! So happy with my new Durango and so thankful for theyβre patience!
Took my car there and had two oil pan gaskets changed out. Almost $400. The mechanic drove my car 17 miles, made me have to scrub extra hard to get the cinder stoned out of my floor mat and apparently picked up a friend to Ride Along, both floor board mats had cinder stone. Changed my radio station. Second time I had my power steering pump changed, $391. 4 days later its leaking power steering fluid bad. I took pictures. After they had the car a couple of days I talk to Evan the grandson of the owner, he manages the automotive part. He tells me, its not leaking, theres nothing wrong with it. Wow! Its all over the concrete in the garage. I took pictures! He wasnt interested. So Im taking it to someone else because I want to make sure my power steering is not going to cut out on me in the middle of driving. And the engine is sounding loud like its leaking oil also. I asked Evan about this sound and he says oh, probably a timing chain. Probably! I spent $800 to get this car right and would have spent more if needed but, not for a guy who says probably and doesnt bother to check it out. Im not impressed with these people. *** Thanks for clarifying that I was telling the truth! I certainly did bring it back to you more than once for you to have the chance to make things right! You can lie about the grease stains left in my car, (yet when I showed you on first trip in, before I left your place...you didnt deny it, you causally said, oh, well detail it next time you bring it in. That didnt happen because I keep my car very clean.) You can twist the truth, but the pictures dont lie! If it would let me, I would post more pics. As for it not being there for a timing chain, again, thanks for clarifying! I brought it in because it had sounds of low oil and it was leaking oil which your company was supposed to have fixed! Too bad I cant also post my CarFax upkeep report, or more pics, so everyone can SEE my car all along has had great upkeep.
100% satisfied!!Matt was willing to work with me and my situation.He is very kind and polite guy. Matt was best at making a clear understanding with all the paperwork. Somehow my loan paperwork didnt complete on the same day and he promised me to deliver the car at my place once once the loan situation is figured it out and he did it :) Appreciated the patience and all the help. I recommend this dealership!!
Matt was friendly knowledgeable and went way beyond for Edie and solved all her issues. Definitely recomend.
I had great a buying experience and everything went pretty smooth. Fast forward and 7k repair with a couple other repairs. Then finding out that the title and Carfax when I went to trade in, that I was sold a salvaged title due to the truck being a lemon in its previous life. I lost a ton of money during the trade in process due to that and on top of the repair work that went in to the vehicle. I was sold a lemon with out it being disclosed or on the Carfax that was shown to me during the buying process. From my research, The title moved around from I think Indiana to Illinois and it had a Indiana salvaged title was moved to Illinois under normal title. This was not disclosed during the buying. process.
By far the best vehicle buying experience Ive had. The sales associate Matt Kristensen helped my husband and I and he did a phenomenal job. I work quite a distance from home and he was able to make everything work within my weird travel schedule to test drive and the purchase the vehicle. I would more than highly recommend this place if you are looking for a vehicle. I plan on going here again when we need our next one in the future.
Excellent customer service highly recommended
Great service all the way around πππ they look n work with finding the best fit for u. I love my new Toyota Highlander truck. Thank u for da service n working with me. Joaquin nunez Jr
Some of the best dang people youll ever buy a car from! Great deals, great vehicles, great salesmen/saleswomen, and great mechanics!
Matt did a great job taking care of us while shopping for our new car! Matt and Nick both were very easy to work with and made sure we were completely satisfied! Couldnβt be more pleased!
I was there becouse this company assisted my family with Christmas gifts this year. They definitely went above and beyond for my girls. They both received a huge bag loaded with gifts. May God bless you all for such a great deed you did for my family. U are very appreciated by my family.
This is seriously the best place to buy a vehicle. They are all so nice and helpful. We had been having a hard time at other dealerships, but here they had us in and out in a couple hours with a great loan. They helped us every way they could even letting us leave our car there for a couple days til we could get back to pick it up. These are great people!
Its good, I love it
Got my truck from there today and I absolutely love it! Matt is one of the best, and can make any person who doesnt know a thing about cars understand. The rest of the staff Is amazing! I definitely suggest this group to any and everyone!!!!!!!!!! Thanks fellas Ill be back!
We were not an easy case walking in here. Matt made it easy, thank you.
After reading all of the great reviews, I drove from Chicago to check this place out. I knew what car I was looking at, and the minute I showed up it was ready for a test drive.Everyone in that place was hilarious and so kind. Iβm used to going into dealerships and dealing with one person, and itβs a very professional and intimidating experience. The staff at IVAG was beyond professional, but it felt like buying a car from a family member. It was quick and painless, and I felt so great leaving the dealership in my new(used) vehicle.Great financing options, great people, amazing experience.Whenever itβs time for me to purchase another vehicle, I will definitely make this drive again.
This place was awesome, my sales Associate Matt Kristensen helped a TON along with the owner Frank! It was a friendly place! The quality and quantity was fantastic! Thank you guys so much for and awesome experience ill be back!
Great place to buy a car
Had my greatest car buying experience yet! John is a great and very respectful guy. There was no pushing and shoving to get me to buy a car. He was very knowledgeable about all the cars on his lot and really lets them sell themselves. I test drove a couple all in great shape. Thanks to johns knowledge and resources i was able to drive my vehicle of choice off the lot.
Sales team was awesome very helpful took care of any problems we had. Mechanics where awesome as well would highly recommend going to see them.We will definitely keep coming back.
Great place and amazing people. They did everything to get me into a newer truck
Very nice & very good price in big trucks very pros
Had the best time getting our new car from John and his team. They are very warm and welcoming. John is very nice and honest, very trustworthy and funny too. He made sure to talk us over a warranty before even purchasing the vehicle, which is a huge plus and a must have. My grandparents are even considering buying their next vehicle from them. My husband is really happy with our vehicle as am I. Thank you very much for a great experience.
Matt was awesome got me into a nice truck
Proud owner of a 2011 Ford F150 thanks to Rose and she was very polite and to the point and got me exactly what kind of truck i was looking I recommend her
John and Matt were really great to work with in getting a deal done. They were really friendly and I had a great car buying experience. They were patient and did everything to make me and my wife comfortable. They were very straight forward with us and they definitely had our best interest in mind. I would for sure go back to them next time I am looking for a vehicle, and I recommend them to anybody looking for a great used vehicle at a great price.
Matt Kristensen was so wonderful and helpful with getting us the truck that we wanted! Definitely recommend this place, everyone was friendly and it was a great experience buying through them!
Ended up stopping in on Tuesday on our way to check out another vehicle in Peru. My wife and I were looking at trading in her 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. John and Matt were both very helpful and friendly. Felt no pressure in trying to buy. Ended up calling them up later the same day and getting the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan we test drove after trying out a couple other vans in the area. The team made car buying haggle free and enjoyable, had a lot of laughs. John gave us a great deal on our trade in. John is very knowledgeable and gave us advice on how to obtain a second key for our new van without having to spend a lot. Would definitely recommend them to family and friends. Will consider buying from them again in the future!
Damien was the biggest help! He found exactly what I needed and worked his magic to make it work for us! I am so thankful I went there! Great people!
Exceptional customer service, remarkably friendly staff, very knowledgeable crew, in and out with no fuss. If youre in the market for a new car or truck definitely check out their selection.
My wife and I just bought a truck there and it was easy and the staff was very friendly. The sales staff isnt trying to force you into a vehicle and they are more than accommodating. The hardest part of buying the vehicle was convincing my wife. We would recommend Illinois Valley Auto Group to anyone wanting to buy a vehicle.
I cant tell you how much they accommodated me. I had an issue with the car I bought, I am from Rockford, IL, they came up here and got it, gave me a decent loaner, brought mine back when it was done. John was great! Sorry John, I was happiest when I saw Evan pull in with it to give it back! She was so pretty. I know, I know, its a car its for sale. ....lol 5 stars!Thanks for all you have done!
Recently we purchased a 2006 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, the service from John and Matt was outstanding. John was very helpful during test drives, each time asking how did that drive? John encouraged me to keep test driving until I found the one. I decided on the Ram, before I bought it John disclosed that it needed a new muffler and tail pipe, he had these on order and would install them before I took delivery of the Ram. The final transaction went very smooth, there were no surprises, we traded childhood stories as we finalized the paperwork. I have been to too many dealerships where I have felt pressured to buy a specific vehicle and have had my fair share of slick salespersons. John and Matt were very down to earth and I thank them for a great buying experience.
Working with Matt and John was a fantastic experience! Upon finding the car online, I contacted Matt and received a very fast response. My husband and I made the hour drive to Peru, IL and found the car exactly as pictured and we ultimately purchased the car. And, can we talk about the pictures? I commended Matt on the number of pictures posted online because in todays Internet age, thats how preliminary decisions are made. There were over 35 (I believe) pictures of this car and we loved that!!!! The overall experience was wonderful ... a lot of fun bantering and conversation during what is normally a less-than-fun experience. We were also promised they would cover a part needed but unavailable at that time. One day later, we found the part at our local dealership and true to their word, they covered the charge over the phone when contacted. Thank you, Matt and John, for making this experience what it was!!!! We truly appreciate it and our daughter LOVES the car!!!!!!!
#1 favorite dealership out there, only dealership I trust and can work with, the crew is great very nice and fun to talk with. I canβt that Matt enough for selling me my Kia when I needed a good gas miser, but had it for 3 months and decided it was time to pull the trigger had him find me a 2011 camaro 2ss gave him the specifics and everything a week later he got me my dream car thank you so much Matt Iβll forever being my business to Illinois valley auto group. ππ
Drove 3.5 hours to purchase a truck from them. Matt was awesome and even after getting home and seeing there was an issue they were on top of it and helped me out. Thank you
Evan is so nice. Thankyou to the great people who worked on my car. Drives amazing now
They r very friendly ppl..
Today I drove there from Berwyn IL a good long 1 1/2 hour drive and I was not disappointed at all! I been texting Matt and Rose for a couple days trying to get my Jeep which I found online that I really wanted... he didnβt pressure me to to get something else unlike every other place I called and went to in Chicago. I rather drive the distance and get great customer service! Not to mention how clean the place is!!!
As good as it gets. From test drive to completing the paperwork; no games. Straight forward. Respected the value of my time. I dont enjoy buying cars but this was as good as I could hope for. Thanks John and Matt!
Rose was great. Thank you. Great place to go. And great customer service!!
Awesome place. Customer service is 10 stars all day.
Our family experience here at Illinois Valley Auto Group was awesome. John the sales manager was very helpful in finding us a loan and a car that fit our standards. We are the new owner of a Chrysler 300, and I couldnt be happier. When my car needed maintenance done on it, John got us in immediately. Awesome people and an awesome experience!!
Horrible service had an appointment at 1030 AM and itβs now 2 pm and Iβm still sitting waiting for a basic oil change everything is garbage about this place do NOT recommend it even to buy a vehicle
The knowledgeable staff made buying a car very easy. One of the best car buying experiences weve had in a long time! No run around, just answers and support. I definitely recommend!
Great place.....awesome to work with. Would recommend to everyone.
Wasnt expecting a quality used car lot like this when I arrived. Not too many around that have a nice inventory and a full service dept like this. Well worth checking out if youre in the market for a new vehicle
I went in about 3 years ago and rose helped me got me in to my car i love it. she is great and helped us alot. This year was time for a new suv so i called her again she got us in out new SUV in 24hrs i.lov it!! i lov ill valley goup auto i need a car they will find it for me no matter what i want thank you rose for all your help.
My husband and I had a good experience trading our vehicle for a newer one. The owner was helpful and upfront about the vehicles and gave us a fair trade in value for our vehicle. We would recommend friends and family to check out the website and go look at vehicles to buy here.
Had $1200 down payment and a 06 f150 truck for a 08 wrangler that was listed for $14,999. The jeep was beautiful on the outside with red in color, but the inside was tore up by what looked to be from a dog from the previous owner. Dash was clawed very badly. Button was missing on the radio, the console next to the 4x4 was cracked. Then, $1200 down payment became a $1500 down payment, then that $1500 down payment became a $2700 down payment. Instead of trying to get us into the vehicle and making the customer happy, they were more worried and concerned about their profit. Small time dealerships biggest mistake. I would not recommend this place.
IV Auto Group made driving off in my new vehicle easy and enjoyable. Great deals and great people that helped me find a great fit. Give Matt a call if youre looking for something new!
I got my approval on a loan on a Saturday within minutes! Theyre friendly and funny! They made it so stress free and offered more than a fair amount on my trade in!
Had a good experience there.got a truck there and the salesman was a big help.john made my experience a happy one.i would recommend everyone I know to go there and ask for him or any one of them to help them buy a vehicle.
I had an excellent experience buying my car from John! He was extremely helpful and patient with all my questions and concerns and he made sure I was able to get the car I had my heart set on! Will definitely be my first choice for future car shopping!!
Sold me my current car. Got a good deal with some money down.
John helps you find the right vehicle to fit your needs, your budget and found my son a great rate and deal for his first ever credit transaction and explained it to him step by step, so he knew what was going on through the whole car buying experience! This was our 2nd vehicle in my family and we definitely will come back for more!!!
Very friendly people every time I come in to look bought my car almost 2 years ago very satisfied
Great people excellent service!! #VOTEMATT#PICKMATT
John and Lety are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I would recommend this dealership to anyone. I you are in the market for a new vehicle do yourself a favor and give the guys a call. I promise you wont be disappointed!
Just pure amazing. the staff,the vehicles and the prices. I recommend 100% third truck Ive bought. and I will keep coming back. thanks again matt and the rest of the staff
I definitely recommend this dealership! My husband and I bought a beautiful Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit from Damien Presthus and we could not be happier. We had done the research and knew that IVAG had a more than fair price on it (other dealerships with comparable vehicles were insanely overpriced). To top it off, they gave us what we wanted for our trade and didnt try to low ball us. The whole process was quick and painless. While I love getting a new car, I absolutely hate the buying game and dealing with unscrupulous salespeople. I felt like the people at IVAG were very friendly and honest. They have a great selection of newer model, high quality vehicles of all varieties. If youre looking for a quality vehicle at a fair price, check these guys out!
Great place to buy a vehicle. Everyone is friendly and you cant find a better price. Their prices are just bottom line, dont even need to haggle. Their extended warranty is great. I purchased a 2006 GMC Envoy Denali at an amazing price with the extended warranty. Thank you Matt, John, and his wife Lety. Great service and will definitely come back on my next vehicle.
I had a great experience buying my car from Matt and John. They were very helpful, and I highly recommend getting your next car from IV Auto Group!
Really friendly and helpful staff. I was quite impressed. I will definately be buying from them again. If youre looking for a vehicle do yourself a favor and check them out.
What an excellent experience purchasing from Damien Presthus. Friendly and knowledgeable.
Great place to buy a quality used car!!! Huge selection and great people!
Truck was in good condition and very clean, I was told that all of there vehicles go through an in depth inspection from there mechanic. I bought the truck paid more than I should have but considering the condition it was in I took the truck, I have had it a week now and the check engine light came. I was informed that it could be a multitude of things wrong, anything from the injectors to a sensor to a intake manifold issue, the code read that both banks were running lean. If each of there vehicles go through an inspection I would suggest they replace there mechanic, or come clean with the customers. about possible issues. For all I know they could of have the error codes reset before I bought it and then they went off again. Not Happy
Great customer service! Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Thank you!
I would like to thank John and Matt for helping my wife and I to get a very good deal on a 2005 Pontiac Montana. As my wife and I are both handicapped they were very accomodating to both of us. And went above and beyond to get this great deal. We sincerely appreciate their time and efforts.Jim and Debbie Fadley
Never will I go through this dealership. When i Called about a vehicle I made it certain they knew I was interested. I sent him my own personal banks information and in the three hour it took my loan officer to approve my loan their ram rod salesmen sold the truck from underneath me. He knew I would be getting back with him that day. I felt very disrespected. Therefore I will not purchase a vehicle here.
John and Matt are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I had a great experience, and Im glad I went there. Would definitely recommend!
The place is a rip off. No structure or communication. Stay away. Cars are pieces of junk.
Great team and quite fair trade-in experience as we worked to downsize our fleet of personal vehicles. In return we acquired a work truck suited for our particular needs after turning in 3 vehicles that would have proved more timely and costly for us to try to sell on our own.
I would like to thank John he was very honest and helpful he really worked to get me my 2006 f350 supper duty believe it or not he let me take the truck home I wrote him a check and told him that it would be about 2 weeks and he said no problem I definitely would recommend him and his team they are very honest and friendly 2 thumbs up guys and keep up the good work
We recently purchased a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche from John. He was very friendly and helpful! We enjoyed our experience at illinIllinois Valley Auto Group, and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great used car!
I got a 2008 Buick Lucerne it runs great no problems. Great service I would highly recommend this place.
Bought a 2002 dodge ram from this dealer. john and matt are awesome people to deal with! definitely recommend this place for buying a vehicle!
Grade A Diesel MechanicsBought a truck after it had the clutch replaced. Installed an aftermarket clutch and flywheel recently. Not pleased with the missing, and not installed fasteners in cab. Wiring harness broken and zip tied together on the transfer case due to improper removal. New brake caliper that was installed did not have the caliper or bolt slides cleaned and lubed. Which caused the caliper to seize and make the brakes squeak and leave dust on the wheel. Rubber protective boots for bolt slides were torn also due to careless mechanics. I knew the truck had some downfalls when I bought it... The overall evaluation of how the Grade A Diesel Mechanics repaired and replaced the clutch among other parts in the truck is poor. The owner spoke highly of them but I now realize they are more careless then I assumed. Dealership is good, inventory is good. If I ever purchase another vehicle here I wont be so gullable.
Home of the fair deal. John is one of the last of a dying breed, an honest car salesman. Our experience was stress and haggle free, we got a fair deal on our trade and his prices are fair.
Very good experience. The salemen are friendly and courteous. I would deal with them again
Johns a great guy, bought an 07 Expedition from here and had a great experience also had an issue not long after buying vehicle found out it had an evap leak, they took care of it and I dont stay in the area so they paid for it over the phone, we will recommend them to family and friends!!!
Great customer service. Very friendly people. I would recommend.
