I have bought a few cars here, it is a great place to do business and to get service. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! I had been looking for a new car and had decided on a BMW X5 xDrive 50e. But I hav business and to get service. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! I had been looking for a new car and had decided on a BMW X5 xDrive 50e. But I have never seen one built the way I wanted. So, needed to be a custom order. There was a vehicle pre-production that I could customize. Then I got very sick and had to be hospitalized. After about 2 weeks in the hospital, I got to go home. The dealership had held my slot and a few days later I got to order my car, exactly how I wanted it. I worked with my salesman James Orton, then on design with Devon Stovall (I knew the interior color) he suggested a different paint Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic, wow, it is great! Tartufo Extended Merino Leather. We got the car ordered, and with the GM Dan Brozowski got a great price and trade in. When the car got to the dealership they prepped it and had to wait a few days for my doctor to clear me to drive. I test drove the X5 (tested other models, not a 50e). Decided to get the dealer to put on ceramic coat over the paint (looks awesome and water sheets right off). Added tire and wheel warranty (glad I did, after 11 days of owning got a nail in the tire and ruined it, replaced $0 out of pocket) as well as windshield and extended warranty. Dan got the price out the door where I wanted to be. So much on this vehicle training with Devon and James was much needed, as well as a couple of calls with questions. Bottom line, I have owned 30 cars, this was the best purchasing experience ever, including working with the Business Manager Mike Schwarz (this is where I get hung up with dealers), Mike is a car guy and so easy to work with. and from past experience Service Manager Derek Cogdill and his staff have always been friendly, and get the job done right. I recommend BMW and Mazda of Crystal Lake 1000% I will continue to recommend them to my family and friends. More
