I test drove a 2013 Honda Odyssey back in August. After the test drive, I put down a $1000 deposit on the condition that it pass an independent inspection. The salesman assured me it was a refundable After the test drive, I put down a $1000 deposit on the condition that it pass an independent inspection. The salesman assured me it was a refundable deposit. The inspection revealed some minor issues that should have been caught in the 150-point inspection they said they performed - loud squealing on ignition from the rusted tensioner assembly and a 15-degree misalignment. Not big things. I asked Elite motors if they would fix the issues before I purchase the car. They wanted to charge me $250. I said I didn't want to have hundreds of dollars in unexpected repairs before the car was off the lot. They offered to make the repairs for $225. I asked for my deposit back. At this point they ghosted me. I couldn't reach anyone for two days until finally the salesman texted back that his manager now says the deposit is non-refundable. I called repeatedly and couldn't get anyone on the phone. One salesman finally picked up - he seemed sympathetic but unable to help. He kept saying he would get more info and call back in 10 or 15 minutes but I would wait for hours to hear anything. I called repeatedly without success until another sales manager, Joseph, answered. He immediately started yelling at me and told me I could "take the f***ing car or lose my thousand dollars." He also said that Elite Motors only performs the minimum amount of repairs required by law and that he isn't obligated to fix those issues. After a few minutes of heated exchange, he hung up on me. I filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau. It took several weeks to resolve, during which time I received one call from someone at Elite Motors, who left a voicemail and never called back, while I made more than 100 calls trying to get someone on the phone to resolve the issue. They misrepresented the quality of the vehicle and the work they did on it. They lied about refunding my deposit. They made no real effort to communicate with me. They tried to steal my money. More
Called day before asked to have vehicle prepared for my inspection. I drove and hour and half to see this vehicle. I arrived to find a filthy vehicle crammed between vehicles. Pulled out to find easily 7k inspection. I drove and hour and half to see this vehicle. I arrived to find a filthy vehicle crammed between vehicles. Pulled out to find easily 7k in damage ranging from body to paint to interior defects.. Exhast clamps rattling and not secured on start up. Was told by the sales manager that I need to lower my standards it's a used vehicle...... salesman was cool. I told him the manager is going to blow this deal. I made a appropriate offer, was rejected the sales manager wouldn't budge enouraged me to find its similae online and they would match it. I did and for 4k less. The manager denied it was the same vehicle and refused to budge from the excellent perfect shape price. I walked away after my second offer was rejected, and bought a matching vehicle that day for 7500 less. Glad they tried to screw me. Turned out in my favor. More
I tried to contact this dealership about a certain car three times and never received a reply. I checked multiple times about said car, as it remained for sale on the site. In sales, I would tend to follo three times and never received a reply. I checked multiple times about said car, as it remained for sale on the site. In sales, I would tend to follow any/all leads. It seemed, as though, they were not interested in selling their inventory. More

BEWARE! this dealership told me I would receive a $100 gift card if I left them a positive google review, so not let their google rating fool you. Look a this dealership told me I would receive a $100 gift card if I left them a positive google review, so not let their google rating fool you. Look at their reviews (1.5 stars) on yelp, BBB, or any other type of company feedback platform for the truth. Finance agent AMY THOMPSON, registered my car to her home address in Waukegan which is literally illegal. I had to file a report with the Illinois secretary of police in order for her to do her job. Everyone I talked to along the way was shocked, and told me this was extremely illegal. One person even sighed and said yeah we’ve heard of this place before. Her boss told me it was my fault because I took too long to send over my vin inspection, and that they needed it within 90 days. When I told him I sent it within 75 days he said, oh it’s actually 21 (LOL!) Her boss later admitted to my agent he knew what AMY THOMPSON had done was illegal. AMY THOMPSON is a liar, and a liability to this company. Do not work with her, do not let her handle any important documents related to anything important in your life. She’ll tell ya she needs to run your credit, and run it twice just for fun. Oh, and did I mention she ILLEGALLY registered my car at an address I’ve never lived at in a state I’ve never lived in? Absolutely insane. Glad I have Indiana plates for my car now :) Seriously, I didn’t even know IL needed two plates on their car to be street legal, I looked at my wife and was like oh how cool! They sent an extra! Haha More
