Two weeks ago 9/6 I started out for work in Libertyville from Schiller Park, Il. I left early because I was sure I was not going to make it. I stopped 5 times to let the motor cool down and the 5th time w from Schiller Park, Il. I left early because I was sure I was not going to make it. I stopped 5 times to let the motor cool down and the 5th time was in the Walgreen's parking lot approximately two blocks from the this dealership. Left the parking lot and the red warning light came on right away so I pulled into the first place I felt would be able to help me. At first I shut the motor off and looked around. I was driving a '04 Chevie Malibu with approx. 186,000 miles +. I looked over to the left and saw cars going into the service dept. overhead doors. I again started the car up and pulled across from the doors and went in. I didn't know where I was going but it seems like God was steering me that morning. I waited for the young man, later finding out my angel from God was Dave Grimes, Jr. He looked up and I said I'm in trouble and need help. Jr. went out to my car where I had parked it, looked under the hood and then suggested he take it in and have a look at my problem. I stated I had to be to work at Lambs Farm on Rt. 176 and the tollway by 7. I pulled in around 6:30. Jr. said he would have someone drive me work and I was able to punch in on time, 2 minutes to 7. Jr. called me later in the day to tell me I needed a new radiator and thermostat. So needing my car, I told him to fix it. He again sent someone to pick me up and bring me back. My car was not ready since parts had to be ordered. I have given a loaner to drive. This young man, was very kind and considerate, as I was really upset with the car. He said the parts would be there on Friday and they would start putting it back together again. I used the car over the weekend only to get home and left it sit in the driveway until I went to church and back. On Monday I drove to work only to get another phone call from Dave that a special tool had to be borrowed from Chevie. Then another call came on Tues. that the tool had been secured and when they starting working on it again, they found that the water pump had to be replaced. But a chain had broken in half and without tearing it completely apart, they would not be able to access any further damage. All I could think of is a hugh repair bill staring me in the face and I stilled wouldn't have a car. Jr. talked to his boss, and they decided to lower the bill that they could live with as well as myself. I feel it was most generous on their part for which I am truly grateful. Thank you to Jr's boss also. It was Wed. 9/12, and I still had the loaner. Since David had been so kind to me, I figured it was my obligation to buy a replacement vehicle from his dealership. He introduced me to Terry O'Gara who also was very kind and understanding. My Rollie met me after work at the dealership Wed. and with Terry showing me what used or preowned cars were available. Fell in love with a blue Corolla that was a '10 model. Of all the dealerships I have been in to purchase mostly new cars and a couple used ones, Libertyville Toyota, David Grimes, Jr., Terry O'Gara, and all the staff that I came in contact with during that week, were of the highest professional status. Helpful, kind and truly concerned with my safety for which I am truly grateful. I still believe that God was steering me to Libertyville Toyota's driveway instead of me driving another 3 blocks to the Chevie dealer. Thank you, Jr. for your kindess and concern and then introducing me to Terry. You both are God's angels in the book. I will be back!!!! More
After a negative experience with another dealer in the Chicagoland area, I called Toyota North America who directed me here. Libertyville Toyota was very attentive to my needs, took the time to see the pr Chicagoland area, I called Toyota North America who directed me here. Libertyville Toyota was very attentive to my needs, took the time to see the problem (needed a battery) and promptly put a new one in under warranty (at the prorated cost). I had visited 2 other dealers about the problem and neither took the time to look at the car and tried to charge at full cost, regardless of the warranty. Overall very satisfied and for when I need to service in the area again, I will only go here. More
Less than one week after purchasing my second 2011 Tundra, and with only 510 miles on the vehicle, the front floor pans had flooded due to a problem with the air conditioner. The first visit to the s Tundra, and with only 510 miles on the vehicle, the front floor pans had flooded due to a problem with the air conditioner. The first visit to the service department, they indicated the vehicle was repaired, but the drying and cleaning of the vehicle was not their responsibility. After drying the vehicle at home for 2 days using an extractor and a dehumidifier (at my own expense), the front floor pans flooded a second time. The second visit to the service department, they indicated that they “actually checked out the vehicle this time” and fixed the problem. Upon attempting to pick the vehicle up a second time, the floors were soaked and beginning to smell moldy. After leaving the vehicle a third time at the service department, they indicated again that cleaning, drying or replacing the damaged carpet and pad is not their responsibility. On the fourth visit, after filing 2 complaints with the Toyota Corporate Office, the service director indicated that they were able to pull some strings and would replace the carpet after all. They explained that the repairs would take a full week to complete and that they would not provide a loaner vehicle. When I proceeded to tell another client about my experiences, they called the police. They were however very gracious in not pressing "trespassing" charges. In addition to all of this, the Finance Department accidently forgot to include a rebate into the final purchase agreement. We had to redo the entire loan almost a week after the vehicle purchase. Incompetence obviously extends to the finance department as well. I'm still out of a vehicle, the new vehicle I purchased is wet and musty, and I've lost all faith in Toyota. I’ve especially want to express that the service department from my point of view is incompetent and unprofessional. Further, the General Managers, are as equally as un-professional as they failed to return phone calls, failed to even attempt to get the problem resolved. Instead, the effectively lost a client and are willing to risk losing future customers as a result of their actions and ultimately the products they sell. This is very disappointing to me having owned several Toyotas. I hope other potential customers will take this into consideration when in the market for a new vehicle. More
I saw the vehicle on the cars.com and checked it out on their website. The car listed on their website was an even more upscale version then the one on cars.com. When I asked the salesman, he stated they their website. The car listed on their website was an even more upscale version then the one on cars.com. When I asked the salesman, he stated they couldn't correct their own website. When discussing the purchase, they made us fill out a credit application. We already had financing so I questioned it. They said it was required 1) in case our financing fell through 2) something regarding the Patriot Act so everyone has to fill it out now. After waiting along period of time, the finance person came out to meet us. I asked if we could be done in 15 min and he said it would take at least 45 min. After checking out scams.com I found out they have us fill out an application so they can run our credit to offer us "better" financing. However, the terms were 5 years vs 3, which in the end would cost us more. The salesman also "forgot" to mention that they had Theft Protection etching on all their vehicles and this would be another $199 dollars. Also on scams.com, this isn't true. After an hour with the finance person who didn't seem to know what he was doing, we left, but even before we were out the door, he came with more papers to sign. When arriving home, we didn't have a title or registration. They called us stating the car we traded in still showed the lien holder and we'd have to have that cleared before they could issue a title. (the title is clear and Carmax was able to determing that when I visted them) After a few phone calls back and forth, they said they'd work around it-remove the Theft Protection charge, but I'd still have to wait 10 days to receive my title while my check cleared. The finance person also faxed me a copy of the purchase agreement and registration-which had incorrect amounts on them and they didn't match. Another day of phone calls now with the finance Mangager and they state they "took care of it" and would send me the paperwork. I have no trust in this dealership. June 2008 More
I purchased a Chevy Astro van for $7,200.00 Its a lemon, the starter was bad which cost me 300 dollars to replace, the driver side miror is missing, the fan assembly in the cabin is missing, the gloves comp the starter was bad which cost me 300 dollars to replace, the driver side miror is missing, the fan assembly in the cabin is missing, the gloves compartment is damaged, no fluids were changed, the air cleaner was not changed, fuel filter isn't changed, brakes are in very bad shape, the vehicle was used for long time so the wheels are rusted and wheels are grinding. By listening to noise of the both doors, I know its a accident vehicle. This is a complete lemon. I am not a satisfied customer at all. I am repenting on my decesion. The dealer showed a false carfax report to me! On top of all this, the person who sold me the van is registered on wrong name. More
they put in cheap parts and make their customers wait for ridiculously long periods of time. They also make a sport out of trying to blittle female clients (firsthand knowledge) and in the end just give you ridiculously long periods of time. They also make a sport out of trying to blittle female clients (firsthand knowledge) and in the end just give you a cop out answer like well everything in the car is safe...therefore there is nothing we can do (or have to do)....

This dealer was OK when I purchased my car. However, upon return for service, they were very rude and unaccommodating. I will never return to this dealer again. Maybe I caught them on a busy/stressful upon return for service, they were very rude and unaccommodating. I will never return to this dealer again. Maybe I caught them on a busy/stressful day, but I don't think I'll be returning there for service...I'm surprised they received the Toyota President's award for customer service! I regret giving them my business. More
