Checked out other cars before finally deciding on the NX and for the price and what is included in the deal, it's the best around. Have been a customer of McGrath since I bought my 300RX 12 years ago and have always praised the service I have received and I wasn't disappointed this time. It was nice to work with a salesperson like Gary Sowell who didn't pressure you and let you decide on your own that a Lexus was the car to buy. And, I LOVE this car. More
Cartastrophe ...That's the only word I can use that comes close to explaining the series of unforeseen circumstances that brought me to the Lexus dealership! A goo ...That's the only word I can use that comes close to explaining the series of unforeseen circumstances that brought me to the Lexus dealership! A good friend and long time Lexus owner insisted I visit his "friends" at McGrath Lexus in Chicago, when it unexpectedly became necessary for me to quickly purchase a pre-owned vehicle. With a somewhat preconceived notion of what the Lexus brand was, I agreed to his proposition. My experience began with General Sales Manager Sharon Gale. I'll remind you that being a first-timer at Lexus, I was feeling a bit apprehensive with all the pomp and circumstance surrounding the car maker's reputation and legacy. (Yes, I'm one of those people who find car buying a stressful and often times intimidating prospect). To my relief and pleasure, all of my anxiety vanished after five minutes in Sharon's company. She was sincere and authentic. She not only knew her business, she loved it! As a business owner, I recognized and connected with her immediate enthusiasm and straightforward accessibility. She wanted nothing more than to assure me I was in the best of hands at Lexus! My car-quest was then turned over to capable hands of the Pre-owned Vehicle Salesman Bill Tacker. His 14 years at Lexus afforded me a professional level of knowledge and expertise that was tempered by his friendly, accommodating demeanor. Again, as we perused the pre-owned, he was able to give a clear understanding of the Lexus brand, it's dependability, features and standing in the marketplace. Car salesman stereotypes aside, there was no pressure here. Rather a simple desire for him to reassure me that Lexus was a very good choice. It wasn't long before I'd picked out my next car! I'm not one who is impressed with perks and privileges. Again, as a business owner, I am impressed with customer rapport and confidence in a product. To me those are key elements in attracting and maintaining a loyal, consumer relationship. I can safely say that experts at McGrath Lexus have done exactly that! More
Purchase of a Certified Lexus hs250h I recently purchased a certified used Lexus hs250h Hybrid and I can’t say enough about McGrath Lexus of Chicago and how they were willing to work with I recently purchased a certified used Lexus hs250h Hybrid and I can’t say enough about McGrath Lexus of Chicago and how they were willing to work with me to make my purchase happen! The service was beyond what I could have expected and to a greater extent any experience that anyone has when purchasing a vehicle comes down the person you are dealing with as well and the latitude the dealership gives their sales personnel. In my case the sales person that helped me was Julie Hill of McGrath Lexus of Chicago. Julie was by far and away the best car sales person I have ever dealt with since I purchased my very first vehicle! She went out of her way to help me out in every way possible! Her demeanor was positive and cheerful and one thing that I hold above all else when it comes to the character of any individual I am dealing with is Honesty! Julie was straight forward and presented me with the details and facts about my car purchase leaving very little doubt as to whom I was dealing with! An Honest person! McGrath Lexus of Chicago is blessed to have Julie on their team and I can definitely say that McGrath Lexus of Chicago will benefit with future purchases from myself and my referrals! In a Nutshell McGrath Lexus of Chicago and Julie Hill are Top Notch! More
Continued Outstanding Experience with McGrath I have been dealing with McGrath Lexus now for almost 8 years and have leased 3 vehicles. The staff is outstanding from the working through the lease I have been dealing with McGrath Lexus now for almost 8 years and have leased 3 vehicles. The staff is outstanding from the working through the lease to the vehicle delivery. I truly enjoy working with the entire team. The post sales support is also outstanding. I have brought members of my family to McGrath to purchase vehicles as well. More
Out of State Buyer I wish I could say my purchase was uneventful but it wasn't quite perfect. I purchased a Toyota F J Cruiser on 18 July 2014 and drove it back to KY. I I wish I could say my purchase was uneventful but it wasn't quite perfect. I purchased a Toyota F J Cruiser on 18 July 2014 and drove it back to KY. I was promised the title work within 10 days. That did not quite happen. McGrath told me twice that they were waiting on the check to clear but the fact is it cleared on 21 July 2014. This Monday they said that the bank had to clear them to send the title. We cleared that up, and they promised to overnight it. A small problem with UPS delivering it to a door we seldom use but it was finally on my door step on 6 August 2014. My salesman was Russ and except for forgetting to call me back during the delayed title problem was very Pleasent to work with. No complaints about Russ during the buying process. He treated my wife and I very well. I love the F.J. And would recommend it to anyone. I rated this dealer on the in the "good" range because the post buying titling delay was very frustrating and caused both me and my bank our valuable time. More
A surprise I was not expecting My boyfriend and I drove up to McGrath Lexus to look at a used Lexus that he was thinking about purchasing. We weren't totally sold and weren't sure i My boyfriend and I drove up to McGrath Lexus to look at a used Lexus that he was thinking about purchasing. We weren't totally sold and weren't sure if we were going to actually get it or not. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by Jack Martell who made us feel right at home, he was helping out his friend/coworker Bill Shamuh who was busy with another client and was originally supposed to help us purchase our new car. There was a reason Jack was our "guy" he was very patient I never felt obligated or pushed into anything which is what usually happens at most dealerships, but NOT THIS ONE. Jack accommodated us, made us feel like a friend, and very comfortable with our decision, he exceeded our expectations! After taking the car for a test drive it wasn't a tough choice on whether or not we wanted the car. This place was awesome! More
McGrath Lexus of Chicago...a great experience We bought a new RX 350 F-Sport from Curtis Jones. He and Larry Brodacz offered a good price and were very fair to deal with. Doug Bell in finance wa We bought a new RX 350 F-Sport from Curtis Jones. He and Larry Brodacz offered a good price and were very fair to deal with. Doug Bell in finance was very efficient on the day of sale, and Morgan Bond helped us quickly learn the basics on our new car before we left the dealership. We got our children's car seats installed a couple days later with Mark McLawhorn, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The McGrath Lexus of Chicago dealership is a class act all the way through.

New Lexus ES350 purchase I used the True Car program to search out a dealership to work with. Within minutes after submitting my car requirements I was contacted by Bryant Va I used the True Car program to search out a dealership to work with. Within minutes after submitting my car requirements I was contacted by Bryant Vasquez, who had some initial questions for me regarding my inquiry. Afterwards again within 20-30 minutes at most, Rick Farbo contacted me and verifed the details of my inquiry. Rick was off the next day, however, he gave me his cell phone number should I have any questions. After a follow up call by Rick I came in that day and he introduced me to Shawn Friedman, who couldn't have been more helpful,in explaining car options, features and availablity. I gave Shawn a deposit to get the search going and to bring the car into the Chicago showroom. Before I arrived home Shawn said he found a similar car which would work and at a price which would work as well. My wife and I arrived on Friday to pickup the car and meet with Shawn, who introduced us to Frank Cowan. Frank who was very thorough and helpful in answering questions my wife and I had. We then met with Violet Vrsek who gave us a very upbeat and thorough demonstration of many of the cars features. Violets patience was was much appreciated as we had quite a bit of difficulty getting my Dinosaur flip phone to work with the cars bluetooth feature.. Our son is coming over early next week to see if we can get the phone and Garage door opener to work thru the car. My wifes phone works well. as set up by Violet. Having managed a saleforce in my work career I appreciate professionalism, thoroughness provided thru exemplary teamwork.when I see it. I saw it in SPADES at McGrath Chicago.! More
I'm in love with my Lexus CT I cannot even begin to describe the amazing service I received every step of the way in purchasing my beautiful Lexus CT. David Kay and everyone else I cannot even begin to describe the amazing service I received every step of the way in purchasing my beautiful Lexus CT. David Kay and everyone else that helped service us along the way was so patient and went over everything in detail. Believe me, many times David Kay and Doug Bell had to explain things two, three, four times!! However,everyone at the dealership was very courteous and genuinely friendly - they never hesitated to draw diagrams or write out prices so that my mom and I walked out truly understanding everything. Rick Guzman was brought in to help translate for my mom. We never felt like we were getting duped into a program. My mom and I loved our experience at the Lexus dealership from the water bottles (seriously, my mom loved those water bottles!) to the very skilled Nick Novelli who helped me sink my bluetooth to the car and walked me through all the bells and whistles of my car. Thank You for your excellent service. More

It began with Jack Martell who greeted me as if I were a longtime family member. I am in no way a "car guy" and after talking with Jack for only a few minutes I knew I had lucked out in dealing with someone who must know more about cars, their qualities, their reliability, and capabilities than anyone I ever met. I drove from Wisconsin to the dealership with the intent of looking at a few cars, and then return to Wisconsin to consider whether or not I would make an offer. I did return to Wisconsin later that afternoon, but it was in an LS460 with only 24,000 miles. Thank you Jack, but also to Steve who transferred all my junk from the Lexus I traded in, and to Nick who gave me a personal review of the multitude of features that my new car can provide to me. His personal time spent with me was absolutely the frosting on the cake. I know I will accept his offer to call him in the future if I have any questions. One last note to Jack, who persuaded me to take my new car on Saurday(which I didn't want to do); when I got home I was locked out of my house , as I did not carry a remote in my old car, and therefore could not open my garage door. In closing with this review I want to state that I had an extraordinary experience. Thanks, Marty Harrison More
