In February '23, found an Audi A6 at the dealership. My vehicle had been totaled in an accident. Worked with the dealership long distance from New York.

Paul, my salesman, tried to be patient as the insurance company worked out the funds to purchase a new vehicle. Gene Woods, on the other hand, was rude and condescending. Maybe dealing with a woman made him feel superior? Had several communications with him as the paper work had to be faxed to him. He became frustrated as it was tying up the fax/printer. After the documents were successfully emailed, I noticed that I was charged sales tax. As a New York resident, tax is paid at DMV for Illinois vehicle purchases. Left Gene as voicemail regarding the oversight. Had to call him as he hadn't returned my call. When I reached him, he immediately cut me off. He said, "let me explain something to you", like I'm some kind of idiot, no you didn't pay sales tax. I said, look at the bill of sale. He came back and said, yes the girl in the office must of made a mistake. No apology. He said he'd overnight a check. It came the next day minus the overnight fee. Not my mistake. The dealership should have paid the overnight fee. If I have an occasion to do business with the dealership again, I do not want to work with Gene Woods! More

He actually made our experience easy, fun, and with no pressure. He goes above and beyond to make you comfortable with your car buying. We bought a GLC 300, Beautiful midnight blue with saddle leather. While we were there we both seen a car pull in and it was for sale. It was Hot to say the least! It was a SL 550 with a convertible hard top, with 15K original miles on it. We went back the next day and bought it. 2 cars in 2 days from Andrew. I really liked how he sells, he makes you feel very good in your choices, decisions, and helped us thru every step. I can actually say this was our first time not feeling pressure from a salesperson. Best experience ever! Craig Falkenthal -General Manager took the time to come meet us and congratulated us on our new cars. What a Great guy! Very professional! Gene Woods- Finance Guy really works with you and helps you get the best financing available. This Mercedes Dealer Gets 5 ***** all day long! Leslie & Maurice St. Charles IL. More

When my car ca I began my experience 3 months ago discussing my new car with Craig Falkenthal . He was patient, friendly, fair and very accommodating. When my car came in last week, I went to St. Charles to pick it up. The gentlemen I worked with( Gene Woods, Zachary Smith And Craig Falkenthal) were an absolute pleasure to buy a car from. Their price was fair, they were patient in explaining everything and reviewed the functions of my car thoroughly. It was completely a great experience. I will definitely be back!!! More
