Scam - price at dealer $1,000 higher than online I walked in to see a car that I saw online and they made wait ONE HOUR after the test-drive to talk to a salesman. Once we were able to sit down and d I walked in to see a car that I saw online and they made wait ONE HOUR after the test-drive to talk to a salesman. Once we were able to sit down and discuss the price, I found out that they charge a $1,000 "dealership fee" on top of the registration and documentation fee. It's a total scam, they just keep the prices low online to make you walk in, and than they charge you more when you're about to sign. Total scam. More
Bait and switch Was told by the manager Sean to "get the xxxx out of his parking lot" after I called them out on their bait and switch tactics. They advertise one pri Was told by the manager Sean to "get the xxxx out of his parking lot" after I called them out on their bait and switch tactics. They advertise one price on cars.com and confirm all the details when you call them just to get you into the showroom. Once you get there its a different story. More
scam town usa!!! They are very dishonest. I tried getting car they had listed on internet for the price listed. They told me I had to come down, because they "don't n They are very dishonest. I tried getting car they had listed on internet for the price listed. They told me I had to come down, because they "don't negotiate over the phone". So, I drove the 75 min. to find out they wouldn't sell me the car anywhere near that price. Steve was the manager I dealt with. He was not a tool, but a tool box!!! No wonder they have the worst review I have ever seen with any company on the internet. More

Dishonest I had posted a 5-star review, but had to reverse course. Our salesman insisted they had to put on a rust inhibitor and implied it was complimentary. D I had posted a 5-star review, but had to reverse course. Our salesman insisted they had to put on a rust inhibitor and implied it was complimentary. During the signing, the costs were covered. Was I a schmuck for not asking more questions. Absolutely. But don't ignore the bad reviews like I did. Stay away. When we came back to pick the car up and realized the charge, Mo, the Nissan Sales Manager, went over charges with me. Very helpful in that moment. He said he'd check with the boss to see what he could do and promised to call back within 2 days. I didn't hear from him, so I called and left messages on both his cell and office line and sent 2 emails over the next 5 days. Nothing. Mo ghosted me (really unprofessional). Finally I explained this to a receptionist and was transferred to a different sales manager. He at least explained things and told me there was nothing they could do. I'm a schmuck. Don't be one. Read the bad reviews. The only reason they have such a high rating is because while you're negotiating and waiting, they ask you for a 5-star review. Builds up the numbers. I will never be back. Also, the advertised price includes rebates. Over the phone I was told that wasn't the case. Not clear until the end. If you do insist on going there, ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS. These are really shady & tricky people. More
Unprofessional tactics to lure customers I would like to take this opportunity to discuss how absolutely unprofessional this dealer is. They use tactics to get you in the door that are includ I would like to take this opportunity to discuss how absolutely unprofessional this dealer is. They use tactics to get you in the door that are include being dishonest about price. There was a Kia on carguru for 16490 brand new excluding tax title, Etc. I called and spoke to the manager Steve who told me that they had the car for that price. I asked him how come the vehicle was so cheap when everyone else is selling it for nearly 28,000. He told me because they're near Chicagoland they have the ability to sell things cheaper due to the fact there are so many car dealerships vs going into the suburbs. Then I come to find out that the price he gave me was not true and that they didn't even have the car. I urge everyone not to go to the dealer More
