Like the new car not the time it took to get it My husband and I wish the whole car buying process could have taken less time considering we were the only people purchasing a vehicle. We arrived on My husband and I wish the whole car buying process could have taken less time considering we were the only people purchasing a vehicle. We arrived on a Friday evening and were the only people in there purchasing a new car. I typically buy a new car every 3 years so I am not new to the game. Understandably Marcus needed to deal with his sales manager but Marcus and the sales manager knew what we wanted and what we wanted to pay (which they met after 3 hours of going back and forth). The facility is massive, the staff is very friendly, and Derek who had our financing paperwork was more than speedy in getting us out the door. More

New Vehicle Purchase I bought my last truck from Gary Lang in 2005 and the experience was good. I just bought a new 2014 vehicle from them and once again no problems.

Best car buying experience I have ever had. I will be returning when it's time for a new car. Everything from the purchase to the final signature went very smooth. I will be returning when it's time for a new car. Everything from the purchase to the final signature went very smooth. More

This review is really all towards David Barndt. My husband, father and I went in on Saturday 3/15 and did not have the best experience with a different sales man. Went back today, Monday 3/17 and left husband, father and I went in on Saturday 3/15 and did not have the best experience with a different sales man. Went back today, Monday 3/17 and left because it became even worse! David called the manager because he over heard raised voices. Thus now David got the sale tonight. So all the "marked greats" are because of David Barndt. P.S. the bad experience came from Chris More

I went to GL for service on my 2011 Cadillac and to get information on entering a new lease. I had my Cadillac in for routine service in February, and one week later I started having problems with the fan information on entering a new lease. I had my Cadillac in for routine service in February, and one week later I started having problems with the fan for the interior heat and cooling. I was told my Cadillac needed new tires (cost of $1200) and that a rodent had made a nest in my engine department, requiring out of pocket repair costs because the warranty and the Cadillac service coverage did not cover rodent damage. I was told that while they could "fix" the rodent problem, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be more repairs down the line that I would then need to pay, because there is never a guarantee that rodents don't cause more uncovered damage until the problems show up. The tires had 34,000 miles on them, and I find out now that I should not have needed new tires until I had 60,000 miles on the vehicle. I was never shown proof of the "rodent damage" and believe that the service department created the problem. I also believe that the service department created a lot of fake issues and planted unfounded doubt in my mind about retaining the Cadillac in order to entice me to get into a new lease. I was told, by a phone call from Julie Rush in advance of my appointment, that Cadillac had a program to get me out of my lease early. I was led to believe that the remaining payments on my lease would be forgiven. I wanted my new lease payments to remain the same, the new vehicle to be a luxury vehicle, and for the new vehicle to have more interior space. I was only shown one type of vehicle: a GMC terrain. I was told that this was a luxury vehicle comparable to the Cadillac. My appointment was a 12:30 and I had picked out a new lease vehicle by 2 pm, but was kept at the dealership until well after 6:30 pm. Beginning at 3pm, I made repeated statements that I needed to wrap up the process and needed to get home because I had a 6 month old baby who was nursing. By the time I was finally shown the financial documents - 6 hours after my appointment - I was rushed through the signing process because it was at that point so late. As a result, I missed that not only were the remaining payments of my old lease rolled into my new lease, but three optional costs were included, at a cost of just under $800 for one, and just under $600 for the other two combined, that I had not knowingly approved. I was told through the signing process that that the wheel coverage (for flat tires) and the protection if the car was stolen, -- etc. "were part of the deal" and led to believe these were at no cost to me. I was told that these great coverages were part of the deal, as in GL was throwing in a lot of extras because I was a repeat customer. It was NEVER explained to me that these costs were included in my monthly payment, and that I did not have to have these costs, that I could decline the costs. Because the old lease payments and these fraudulent extras were included in my total costs, I am paying several thousands more than needed and my monthly payments are $100 to $150 higher than they should be. I was focused on the monthly payment and needing to get home, and the dealership knew this. I feel that the dealership used the knowledge that I was very concerned about getting home to its advantage and my detriment. I feel I was intentionally kept at the dealership through unnecessary but intentional and deceptive delays so that I would feel rushed, pressured, and not focused on the details. I feel pertinent information, including the roll over of the lease payments and the three optional warranty costs, were intentionally kept quiet and not explained. I feel the dealership took the information of where I wanted my monthly payments to be, and then showed me a cheaper vehicle and padded the difference with unnecessary extras -- taking what should have been a savings to me through a lower payment and adding in extras I did not approve to get the price to where I said I wanted it at the sole benefit to GL and detriment to me, without explaining how my monthly payment was composed and giving me the opportunity to knowingly turn down the extra payments. I feel ripped off and that GL took advantage of me and my situation. Were the people there friendly? Yes -- but it is all part of the act to lull you into a false sense of trust. More

This was my first new car buying experience and I couldn't be happier! I submitted a request for a Subaru XV Crosstrek online. The next morning I had a reply in my inbox from Curtis. I let him know w couldn't be happier! I submitted a request for a Subaru XV Crosstrek online. The next morning I had a reply in my inbox from Curtis. I let him know what I was looking for, how much I wanted to pay, what I had to trade-in and how much I wanted for it. He forwarded my info to Chris Ims and within the hour I was on a test drive. Once I made up my mind that this was the car I wanted it was time to talk numbers. This went surprisingly smooth. There was a little back and forth negotiating, as you'd expect, but in the end I feel like I got a good deal. Chris was nice and personable throughout the entire process. The original car we were negotiating on ended up not being available, not Chris' fault. A little frustrating at the time but it ended up being a good thing. Chris quickly found me a Premium model Crosstrek that was coming directly from Subaru and had it rerouted to McHenry. This was a huge bonus for me! I was able to get the car I wanted and then customize it with the accessories and options I preferred. A few days later I came to pick up my first new car. Fresh off the truck and exactly the way I wanted it. Financing was a breeze. In fact, Ozzie was able to get me a lower rate than I was originally expecting. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Gary Lang Auto Group. Obviously I can't speak about the domestic or used departments but the guys in the imports department are outstanding! Chris will be my recommendation to anyone looking for a new car. More

On a snowy Saturday, at 11:30 am, my wife and I had an emergency type repair (Power Steering Pump) on our way to a luncheon in Geneva, IL. Don Evenson processed repair documents for us and supplied a loa emergency type repair (Power Steering Pump) on our way to a luncheon in Geneva, IL.

Great service, great loaner, and Gary Lang personally called us when the repair was finished on Tuesday. Our thanks to everyone we met at Gary Lang Auto Group! More
