Beware of used car part of dealership For those of you buying a car from these folks, and you are traveiling a good distance to buy, be aware that what they tell you on the phone, in email For those of you buying a car from these folks, and you are traveiling a good distance to buy, be aware that what they tell you on the phone, in emails, and texts should not be trusted. My son and I worked a deal on a 2012 Ford Escape, by phone and email. We were told the tires on the vehicle where about 50% and were in good shape. When we got there the tires had just been rotated front to back and the rear tires were so worn, the wear bars on the tires were flush with the treads. Cracking between treads were evident. The front two tires were about 10% left at most. We pointed this out to the sales person by the name of Randy, and we asked for the price of two tires taken off the sales price. He told us they did not do that! Needless to say, we were upset driving 4 hours one way to pick up the car. We demanded to speak with the manager Tim Runde. We had a horrible conversation with him to the point where he got in our faces within inches after we told him we would be posting bad reviews on social media about the experience. He kept saying we were threatening him! Amazing!!! He offered us $200 ($100 for each tire) when new ones were $160 each on the Discount Tire website. We asked for a $300 credit and he refused. Amazing again that he was willing to break a deal for $100!!! In our option, Mr. Runde is only oncerned about selling cars and not taking care of customers and building relationships. We drove home another 4 hours without the car. Beware that this dealership is really shady, will tell you anything to sell you a car and leave you hanging if you are not satisfied. One can only wonder how would have felt if we had flown in to do the deal and this had happened. My son and I were talking on the drive home that we thought Tim Runde thought he had us “over a barrel” and we would cave since we drove 4 hours to pick up the car. DONT’ BUY CARS FROM THESE FOLKS! BEWARE!!!!! More
Great to buy from. We have purchased 10 vehicles over years from them. Runde's have always given us value in dollars spent and great survice.

Disappointing I work construction so getting a truck as a loaner would be beneficial. Also, I did not receive an inspection sheet showing condition of the vehicle a I work construction so getting a truck as a loaner would be beneficial. Also, I did not receive an inspection sheet showing condition of the vehicle and my fluids were not topped off as they claimed they would do. I'm almost positive the front end needs some adjustment but that seems to fall on deaf ears. It's terrible that a 23 year old kid can bust his xxx to buy a $58,000 truck and the service and benefits that's comes with the price tag is practically nonexistent. More

Not Pleased. Don't seem willing to deal or be flexible for a return customer. Told me a car I bought from them 6 months and 7000 miles ago is worth $6000 less now. Don't seem willing to deal or be flexible for a return customer. Told me a car I bought from them 6 months and 7000 miles ago is worth $6000 less now. They don't seem interested in making any deals with someone they sold a car on the brink of a breakdown. Definitely won't be my "dealer for life" if they aren't going to work with me. Treated as if the small man/sale didn't matter to them. More

I felt Jake, our salesman, really took great care of us and made sure we understood every feature of the car before we left their lot. He even set-up my phone with the on-star remove link. Thanks for everything More
Great deal Started looking for a different 2500HD for my business and Tim R. at the dealership gave me some good used options but the deal on a new 2015 2500HD Started looking for a different 2500HD for my business and Tim R. at the dealership gave me some good used options but the deal on a new 2015 2500HD was so good I couldn't pass it up. I priced a similar truck from another dealer and Runde's gave me more for my trade in and a bigger discount off the new truck. Beat the other dealer by many $$$$. Thanks Tim and I love my new truck.

Great experience from both sales and finance department. Called Jake Meyer off a word of mouth referral. Upon speaking with Jake he answered all of my questions that he could immediately. When I asked a ques Called Jake Meyer off a word of mouth referral. Upon speaking with Jake he answered all of my questions that he could immediately. When I asked a question that required research he did the research and got me the answers I was looking for very quickly. Delivery was arranged and they were able to successfully deliver my new vehicle the next day to the Springfield, Il area. I don't normally look forward to transactions involving vehicles however after my 1st transaction with Jake and Aaron in the finance department I do look forward to doing business with Runde again.

Jim Draper's Review We pretty much knew what we wanted based on Chevrolet's web site as I had gone thru the Build and Price your own car so I knew the options available e We pretty much knew what we wanted based on Chevrolet's web site as I had gone thru the Build and Price your own car so I knew the options available etc. But Jake was helpful is showing us vehicles with those options, colors etc. He was very knowledgeable about the Impalas and options available. He tried to find a trade vehicle meeting our specs but that didn't out for various reasons related to the other dealers so we ordered what we wanted. Picked it up 4 weeks later and it was exactly what we ordered. It was all washed and cleaned up and Jake spent probably 30 minutes explaining the electronics and features which was much appreciated.
