I would give zero stars if that was an option. Poor/non-existent communication, lots of excuses, no follow-up/follow through, & seems that nobody cares from the top to the bottom of the company. S Poor/non-existent communication, lots of excuses, no follow-up/follow through, & seems that nobody cares from the top to the bottom of the company. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere! Bought my second Porsche Cayenne (a used 2019 Turbo, my 1st was brand new 2021 GTS) from Motor Werks January 2023 & have regretted it since the first week of ownership. Noticed issues immediately on the drive home (break pads and wiper blades that should have been replaced before they sold me the car, car was dirty inside & out - we finished the transaction when it was dark out). They did make that right by replacing them however, they charged me for replacing spark plugs that were due for service at 30,000 miles even though the car had 29,040 miles when I bought it, & suggested that I have a mobile detailer come to my home for $150. Really? Fine, I was willing to let that go. Within the first week, and to this day, I started to & keep having both small but frustrating issues (driver auto- up/down window control may or may not work, warnings saying PAS restricted, high beam assist not available, Apple Car Play may or may not work, etc.) & bigger issues that affect the performance of the car (chassis fault warning resulting in a horrid, rough ride, adaptive cruise control failing to work during long drives, reduced engine power aka dreaded limp mode, infotainment screen going black so nothing could be controlled - climate, radio, etc.). They had my car for 138 days of the first 11 months I owned it (that's 41% of that time period!) & while I had loaners, they were substandard to my car (very slow base model Macan's), & I am a smoker who drives long distances for work & smokes in my car. Very inconvenient to say the least, not to mention all the times they said they would come pick up my car & didn't, or said my car would be ready & it wasn't. They rarely provided updates; my husband or I would have to reach out to get any status updates more often than not. They do not care about their customers at all; the General Manager, Brian Guzy, flatly refused to speak to me or my husband last summer after repeated phone calls & emails to him about our first 5 - 6 months with this car from xxxx. Marco Rodriguez, the service manager, swore he would over communicate and then failed to deliver on that. We were told Stu Nelson, who I believe is a Sales Manager, would help us get things resolved & stay in communication. After one conversation, he disappeared. I absolutely loved my first Cayenne & I absolutely hate this one. Sad when you're talking about the hefty price tag on these vehicles. I would have expected the sales manager &/or the GM to A) care, B) willingly & repeatedly communicate with me to make things right, and C) offer to get me out of this clearly faulty vehicle & into a different one permanently so they could really figure out/resolve the problem without extreme frustration for & inconvenience to a customer who has literally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with them. I guess that is expecting far too much. Fast forward to this year: the annoying stuff continues to happen on at least a bi-weekly basis. This winter, the newest fun surprise was my heated seats wouldn't come on several times when pushing the button & sometimes the A/C seats would come on instead. I no longer had the energy to deal with them so I just let it all go. Now they picked it up for service this Tuesday as the reduced engine power warning is back. Not only did they completely botch my pick up & try to blame me (their awful communication skills apparently aren't reserved for just their customers but also extend to them not communicating with each other internally), but here it is Friday & I hadn't heard anything until I reached out to them myself..Again. And again, excuses, excuses. I wonder how many weeks they'll have it this time? This car is a total lemon & I want out! I just want someone to care & make it right! More

I purchased a used 911 last year through Peter and the experience was just super-easy from start to finish (and I'm an out of town customer). I flew in to pickup the car and was eager to get on the road experience was just super-easy from start to finish (and I'm an out of town customer). I flew in to pickup the car and was eager to get on the road so at the time I forgot to get anything about the service history of the vehicle to maintain the CPO in my home state. At my 1 year service the local service manager asked if I had records of what had been done and I didn't, so I contacted Peter and he was just incredibly helpful in sending me the records of what had been done to service the car before I bought it, even calling to check up and make sure what he had sent was right. Definitely exceeded my expectations for customer service and it's great to see folks who are there to help you even well after the sale! Great experience all around with the Porsche Barrington dealership as well as Peter. More
Porsche Barrington is great, as is the pre-owned manager, Ian Higgins. There was no pressure, no hidden fees, and no push for extra services. They had a wide range of options in the lot, competitive prices, Ian Higgins. There was no pressure, no hidden fees, and no push for extra services.

My experience buying my "certified pre-owned" 2020 Mercedes Benz C43 AMG from Motor Werks Barrington, for which Ian was the salesman, has been less than positive. After one month of ownership, I have Mercedes Benz C43 AMG from Motor Werks Barrington, for which Ian was the salesman, has been less than positive. After one month of ownership, I have discovered many issues. Due to my job, which has long, unpredictable hours, I cannot continue to monitor each new issue as it arises. It is incredibly inconvenient to continue to find and make time to address each issue. At best, Motor Works and Ian were sloppy on representing the condition of the vehicle to me, and at worst, they were dishonest throughout. On the date of purchase, January 20, 2024, I had the 3 following immediate issues: 1. First, an incorrect financing rate was advertised. 3.39% financing was advertised on the dealer website. I swapped multiple term sheets with Ian with the advertised 3.39% financing rate. When I arrived at the dealership to purchase the car, I was told this financing rate was not available on AMGs, and had to accept a higher financing rate of 6.89%. I am no expert on Illinois consumer protection law, but I think these facts could raise issues with the following provision: Illinois Administrative Code Title 14, Subtitle B, Chapter II, Section 475.630. 2. When I test drove the car, I did not notice any imperfections within the interior of the car. Upon getting in the car after purchase, I saw a dent in one of the speakers. To the very best of my recollection, this dent was not present when I test drove the car. I later paid out of pocket to fix the dent because, as Ian said, "unfortunately with used cars, there's always going to be a few imperfections." 3. Only after purchasing the car did Ian tell me that they only had one key for the vehicle, as the previous owner had not returned the second key. Shortly after purchasing the car I gave the dealership a negative review. Once I did so, I was contacted and told that if I gave the dealership a new, positive review, they would get me a second key. Leaving me no choice by withholding my right to a second key, I gave the dealership a new, positive review. I then received the second key on February 23, 2024. But, this was only offered after a negative review, and I do not believe I would have been offered a second key if I had not left a negative review in the first instance. After purchasing the car, I have discovered the following issues: 4. On February 9, 2024, after hearing a knocking sound coming from the trunk for around a week, I inspected the trunk and discovered a plastic piece wrapped around the left trunk arm of the car had broken. The broken plastic piece had marks, and broke in a way that indicated something else was broken inside the trunk, which caused the damage. On February 13, 2024 I took my car to Autohaus on Edens for inspection. Autohaus on Edens informed me that the trunk motor had broken loose from the side of the trunk where it was secured, and as a result, knocked into the left trunk arm, breaking the plastic piece. I picked up my car up on February 20, 2024 after the trunk motor was fixed and the plastic piece replaced. 5. On February 20, 2024, I saw rust forming between the right rear bumper and fender of the vehicle. I have had no accidents with this vehicle. When I mentioned this to a service technician while getting the second key programmed to the car at Motor Werks of Barrington, he said that it looked to be pre-existing. He asked if I'd bought the car there, and I said yes. 6. On February 27, 2024, I found an oil leak underneath the car, with oil appearing underneath the splash guard on the front left, driver side of the car. 7. On February 28, 2024, I noticed the fuel lid bodywork on top of the gas cap appeared to slide easily, and discovered that the fuel lid was no longer glued on and slid right off the car. I literally held a piece of my car in my hands. I sent Ian a video, who indicated confusion, and did not seem to grasp the circumstances. I do not have time for this, or this feign of confusion. More
I am very displeased and disappointed about the Deceptive Description used to sell the QualityGuard+Plus Supreme Warranty by Ryan Profit. This warranty is equivalent to Car Shield, Garbage! I believed the in Description used to sell the QualityGuard+Plus Supreme Warranty by Ryan Profit. This warranty is equivalent to Car Shield, Garbage! I believed the information provided and made my purchase based on it. All the reviews cannot take away the poor level of service I have received. It is unfortunate that once the sell is complete the salesperson cannot provide a professional level of customer service. It's been 2 months, I guess since we are not buying a car we are worthy of a return call regarding the warranty you assured us was a great idea. Smh, Thank you for the experience, I will be sure to tell everyone about my experience. More

Great customer experience. Great breadth of vehicles and sales team can work across car brands which was helpful because I came in looking for a Mercedes for my mother and a fe Great breadth of vehicles and sales team can work across car brands which was helpful because I came in looking for a Mercedes for my mother and a few weeks later drove off with a Taycan for myself. Bill Marinangel worked with me the entire way and if he could not have, I likely would not have bought the vehicle. Excellent dealership. More
