My family drove our 2002 Rav4 to Chicago to attend my daughter's graduation from Northwestern University. Upon arriving, our vehicle began shifting erratically and taking off from a stop in second gear. daughter's graduation from Northwestern University. Upon arriving, our vehicle began shifting erratically and taking off from a stop in second gear. At a local transmission repair shop, we were told the repairs would be very expensive. After some research on the web, we found the problem to be covered under extended warranty. We contacted Chicago Northside Toyota Scion and were treated extremely well. After I drove the car to the dealership, Connor Crawford arranged a ride (Michael was the driver) for us to the graduation ceremony. The ECM was replaced. We were picked up from our hotel the next day and driven back to the dealership, where our car was ready to go. We drove home with no further problems. To sum up, what could have been a nightmare experience of mechanical breakdown on the road was totally pleasant thanks to outstanding warranty by Toyota and outstanding service by Chicago Northside Toyota Scion. We will definitely remain loyal Toyota customers in the future. Thank you very much. Ron Davis More
When I accidentally jammed the door to my Camry's center console storage, I asked Mario Flowers in Northside Toyota's service department to look at it. He immediately recognized the problem and described ho console storage, I asked Mario Flowers in Northside Toyota's service department to look at it. He immediately recognized the problem and described how it could be fixed. I was impressed by both his knowledge of the car and also by his clear and easy way of explaining what had to be done. The next day, when I brought the car in to the service department, Humza Chaudhry promptly greeted me and asked what service I needed. He too quickly grasped the problem with the jammed storage door, (correctly) estimated the time and cost, and promised to do all he could to see whether the repair would qualify for warranty work. As promised, Humza called within the allotted time to let me know my car was ready and to explain the work that was done. I'm delighted to know that Northside Toyota has reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable service advisors and mechanics who can fix the car when it needs fixing. I leased the car at this dealership with the patient help of Mirza and of Ben Shenk. They helped get exactly the car that I wanted and now I'm thrilled to be driving it knowing that there's an excellent service department available to help if I need it. More

First, let me start by saying my experience at Toyota Scion was AWEFUL! I called 3 times to ensure the vehicles (2010 and 2008 Ford Escape) were available and I specifically asked Josh and Sam if the 201 Scion was AWEFUL! I called 3 times to ensure the vehicles (2010 and 2008 Ford Escape) were available and I specifically asked Josh and Sam if the 2010 had a sunroof. Upon arrival the Ford 2010 did NOT have a sun roof. After looking at the vehicles Josh then informed me that the Ford 2008 was actually NOT available anymore and it was another 2010 limited edition. By the way, the 2010 limited edition smelt like AWEFUL smoke-if you want to sell it air it out!!! Second complaint, After asking about discounts I was told by Sam that they would take care of me and give me a good deal. Upon arrival and after asking Josh about what deal they could come up with the ford 2010 (even after it NOT having a sunroof and being the most BASIC on the market) he said nothing. They could do no deals. I told Josh that Sam had just told me they could. Josh went over to Sam, came back and said they could give me 250.00 off the price. When I asked why Sam would say that they could give me a deal Josh exclaimed that it was a great deal! What a bunch of sexist jerks. I will NEVER come here again and I will let my friends in chicago and wisconsin know how crappy this place is. Not only did I drive 1 1/2 hours to see 2 cars that were not what I told they were, but I was lied to about a working price. NEVER AGAIN!!! I went back to wisconsin with my uncle and got a great deal. Thank you Sam and Josh for NOT selling me a car because I found one for A MUCH better price that did NOT reek of smoke. More
On Friday 4/8/11 I was traveling home for the day, while on the highway I started smelling antifreeze and notice the tempture gage moving towards HOT! I pulled to the side of the road and call Toyota and s on the highway I started smelling antifreeze and notice the tempture gage moving towards HOT! I pulled to the side of the road and call Toyota and spoke to Juan, I expain what I had notice and asked him what I should do. He suggested that I bring the car into the shop so that they could check it out. He asked if I needed a tow truck to come and get me, I informed him that I did not think so, told me to be very careful and take it easy as I made my way to the shop, he did not want to see me get hurt or damage my car futher. Once I got to the shop Juan was waiting for me, told me to have a seat and they would check to see what the problem was. After a short time he came over to me and explain that appeared to have happen, provide me with a cost effective solution to fix the matter and asked for my authorizaiton to proceed which I gave. About an hour after that the repairs where completed and I was on my way home. I was so happy that I call Juan and followed his instructions, before I left the shop Juan explained to me that I was lucky because a part (thermostat I belive) had gotten damanged and broken out of it's housing, by following his instructions I prevented the part from going into the engine and causing more extensive damage. I am real greatful to Juan and Toyota for addressing and resolving this matter. More

I should start by saying that my first car buying experience this year was HORRRRRIBLE. But thankfully, I was able to change that experience to a marvelous one in part because of the wonderful work experience this year was HORRRRRIBLE. But thankfully, I was able to change that experience to a marvelous one in part because of the wonderful work of Paul, Carl, Cordero and David. I also have to mention that I normally don't write reviews unless I feel strongly about 1. a bad service or 2. an extremely good service; may I point out two words BAD and EXTREMELY to emphasize that I have to feel strongly about these two things in order for me write a review. Writing a review takes time, feeling and honesty. So in writing this, I hope you can read that I mean every word in this review. Although from the outside, the dealership looks small, however, their service is by far grandiose. Let me start by mentioning Carl, the Finance Manager, he has a way of making you feel like the purchase you are about to make its the best purchased based on numbers. In reviewing my paperwork at home he was right, the best purchased for my brand new Prius Car based on pure research. Carl is by far the best person to work with because he is good at balancing and explaining things to the consumer. Paul, Carl, Cordero and David are professional, good hearted sales people. Mostly when you step into any car dealer, most sales staff have one thing in mind and that is to make the sale no matter if they have to prevaricate or perhaps fabricate false facts in order to persuade the customer to buy from them. The people from Chicago Northside Toyota Scion are the total opposite. Honest people, no fib to convince you to buy. So if you are looking into purchasing a new/used car, I honestly hope you consider going to Chicago Northside toyota and receive the best service, best prices and meet the best sales people. So to all those I recommend this dealership 100%. Sincerely, Sandra More
I've been to Chicago Northside Toyota Scion twice now for service. I've had my oil changed twice, my brake fluid replaced, my oxygen intake valve replaced, and new windshield wipers installed after one flew service. I've had my oil changed twice, my brake fluid replaced, my oxygen intake valve replaced, and new windshield wipers installed after one flew off during the Snowpocalypse. They also washed and cleaned my car both times for free! The employees were extremely friendly both times and very helpful. They are always careful to alert me to any issues that may arise in the future without pressuring me to have any work done immediately. The service is always very quick and the waiting area is clean and pleasant. Finally, all repairs and labor were very affordable. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone with a Toyota.

In terms of pricing, they're willing to out-bid other dealerships and they're very transparent about the cost-breakdown. The floor salesman was very receptive to our needs, and the finance manager was dealerships and they're very transparent about the cost-breakdown.
