We went to Bill Kay Chevrolet looking for a particular corvette that had been advertised. The car was on the lot, and Mike was very prompt about getting us in the car for the test drive. He was very fri corvette that had been advertised. The car was on the lot, and Mike was very prompt about getting us in the car for the test drive. He was very friendly and professional, without being overly pushy. The finance manager, Jeff Malecek was very professional and quick, and had us out the door within the time frame we needed. The only issue we have with the corvette is that with only 150 miles on it, we have to take it back to be serviced because of a horrendous rattling noise at 70 mph. It is so loud that we can't carry on a conversation. The car was supposed to have been fine tuned by the service department before taking delivery, so it is disheartening that we have this type of issue. It started on Saturday (yesterday) after Bill Kay has closed, so Monday (tomorrow) we will be bringing it back to be fixed. I am trusting that the issue will be promptly taken care of and properly fixed. Bill Kay's employees were very professional and top notch as far as the sales end. Unfortunately, we do have to bring the car back to be serviced less than a week from taking delivery. That isn't setting too well with us right now, it is a major inconvenience to have to take the car to the dealer from Northwest Indiana. I am hoping this isn't going to be an ongoing problem. More

Everyone was friendly from the moment we walked into the dealership. They worked hard in getting us financed with the right car no matter how long it took them to do so while we were there. With no so perfe dealership. They worked hard in getting us financed with the right car no matter how long it took them to do so while we were there. With no so perfect credit, they did not discrimate against us or acted like they didn't want to deal with us. They took the challenge head on and was able to get us financed. More

My experience with this dealership was terrible. I saw a My experience with this dealership was terrible. I saw a car on-line it was a very promising price of only 31k I talked to the Internet departmen My experience with this dealership was terrible. I saw a car on-line it was a very promising price of only 31k I talked to the Internet department and then I was transferred to Ralph (one of the sale managers) after talking to him he seemed like a straight up guy and offered to match the trade-in offer that was offered to me from a different dealer it was 20,600 he told sure not a problem we will give you 20,600for sure (without seeing the car). I drove 19 miles wasted gas and more importantly time. As soon as i got to the dealer Ralph pulled out his calculator and told me that there is a $900 doc fee and a rebate that was ADDED to the INTERNET PRICE for serving in the army so from a price of 31060 he ended up at 32900 that is not including tax! Then the sales person asked me for my keys so that he can apprise my car and I wasn't aware that meant take my car and drive it around the dealership as fast as you can (he drove it keeping it well over 4k rpms), he literally came back within 3 minutes went to Ralphs (managers) office and came out he said they can only give me 20k for it. He then adds the numbers tax the remaining payoff of 5k and he tells me I'm going to pay $20,960 for a car that is worth 10k more + 5k of payoff. I then nicely asked him to let me know where he got these numbers from so that I can see what is added he goes into the managers office and comes out doesn't tell me how he got these numbers but he tells me that they can only give me 19,500 for my trade, now I got upset, i asked him to show me how he gets to these numbers and he comes back and tells me my trade lost 500$ ha ha bunch of pathetic liars working here. Typical example of bait and switch, don't even bother. P.S. The place was empty when I got there the sales reps were standing around and all were talking to each other I was the only customer, I think I know why. More

My experience was very nice and pleasant. I recently visited Bill Kay Chevy on 10/20/12. I had done a lot of research on Chevy dealers and found that Bill Kay Chevy would be worth the drive of over 2 ho visited Bill Kay Chevy on 10/20/12. I had done a lot of research on Chevy dealers and found that Bill Kay Chevy would be worth the drive of over 2 hours to get there and look at a truck. I found that their prices cannot be beat. I went in looking to trade in my Prius for a Truck, the Prius just wasn't for me. After taking my truck for a test drive I sat down with the salesmen Eric and we began to talk about what I was looking to do today. Again not pushy he was very polite and wanted to know where I stand in buying the truck. After a few minutes of talking I told him the price I was looking to get for my trade in and the monthly payment I am looking for with the truck. Due to the fact that this Chevy dealer does not deal a lot with Prius vehicles especially 2012 they had to call around to several car dealerships that deal with foreign cars to try and find me a good trade in value. I have to give Bill Kay Chevy employees credit they worked their butts off for almost an hour trying to get me the best price for my trade in and they finally did, much credit to the salesmen and finance advisor. I was thrilled with my trade in value, they really were able to get as much as possible for my car. Because Eric the salesmen knew I had prior arrangements he did his best to get me in to sign the papers as quick as possible. I believe they really do care about their customers here. After all was said and done I got the truck for the best price, I received a great trade in value, and a great financing contract. I would suggest Bill Kay to anyone looking to buy a Chevy. They are worth the drive and if you ever stop in ask for Eric he will take great care of you. More
