I bought a car here (fro across the US. I found the car I was looking for on Cars.com at The Autobarn. I needed the car shipped to me in Seattle, WA. I bought a car here (from Vic Jalili) 10 years ago and had a great experience. I needed another car to use in my work and came back to The Autobarn and this time I worked with Graciano. Everyone I worked with at The Autobarn was very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend and will definitely come back to The Autobarn for my future car purchase needs. More

My wife and I visited Autobarn VW because we were looking to get back into a smaller SUV. We've been doing business with Autobarn for over 10 years and I believe this may be the 11th purchase from our family to get back into a smaller SUV. We've been doing business with Autobarn for over 10 years and I believe this may be the 11th purchase from our family (7 from my wife and I). Its always a pleasure visiting the Autobarn and seeing friendly familiar faces each and every time. I met Raffi and Vic over 10 years ago and they are always warm and inviting and have always provided us with a stellar buying experience. We made our first purchase from Graciano in January of this year and it was awesome seeing him again. Graciano is extremely polite, very inviting, and knows the product line exceptionally well. He was also excellent with communicating with my wife and I via phone the day of the purchase prior to our arrival. This is a low stress, low pressure buying experience that the wonderful staff at Autobarn provides to their customer. Autobarn VW offers the complete package. An awesome buying experience, outstanding service department, and an amazing staff. Raffi, Vic, Graciano ... thank you my friends for another awesome purchase. More
Right off the bat, I had a very good feeling about this dealership. Everyone I dealt with on the internet before making the trip down was very pleasant and easy to deal with. I made the hour+ drive down to dealership. Everyone I dealt with on the internet before making the trip down was very pleasant and easy to deal with. I made the hour+ drive down to the dealership, spent a few hours talking to a wonderful salesman who didn't rush me and made sure that I felt important as a customer and as a car-buyer, and eventually made a purchase of a 2011 pre-owned certified Golf. I loved it! A few days after the purchase, I noticed a slight rattling/shake when going around corners. It was a different car than I was used to driving so I didn't think anything of it. Eventually, over the next few weeks, that rattling progressed into a violent shaking when accelerating. Thinking it was just something simple like the suspension or the torque converter, I brought it to a local dealership to get it checked out under warranty. I was shocked to find out that there was a crack/clean break in the subframe of the car. I had only had it 3 weeks and hadn't even received my new plates in the mail yet. There was no other damage to any part of the car, including the body, which seemed odd because I had only driven the car for a little over 900 miles and only on the smooth highway to work and back. (I've also never heard of car frames breaking from running over something small on a clean road.) It's pretty hard to explain damage that you didn't knowingly cause to your car insurance, so I wasn't able to report any sort of claim and had to pay $1,000 out of pocket to fix the subframe of the car. (There was still a bent axle causing the initial shaking that hadn't been fixed and will most likely require additional funds on my end to correct.). After a lot of going back and forth with the Sales Manager of the dealership, I was finally put in touch with the General Manager, Vic Jalili, after he saw my initial review on this site. He was as helpful as he was able to be. He offered to pay for half of the initial repairs, assuring me the car was not sold to me in that condition. I wouldn't go as far as to say I don't recommend this dealership as I believe that they have every intention of providing quality service and vehicles. I suppose the offer they made me was "fair" but I feel like they could have easily completely fixed my car for a little more than they paid me in cash, which would have completely satisfied me and left me coming back for years to come. Either way, the offer they made was "Ok" in my eyes, so I'm leaving an "Ok" review. The rest of the car is in great condition and I'm overall still satisfied with the purchase. It's just a bit troubling to sink $500+ into a car that could be going towards paying off the rest of it. As a final note, I will say that Graciano in sales and Michelle in the registration/title department were both very great. They helped me whenever asked and never got annoyed with my "abundance" of questions. More
I am giving this rating because of the high service quality of this dealership. Unlike other dealers I have been to before, which is small and staff are not friendly, the staff here is very friendly an quality of this dealership. Unlike other dealers I have been to before, which is small and staff are not friendly, the staff here is very friendly and really helpful. Staffs in other dealers are usually like you are the one who want to do the business. But in Autobarn, the case is just the opposite. More
I bought my third VW from "The Autobarn Of Mt Prospect". I am 100% satisfied with the level of service that Allan Mando and his management Rafi Ohanian and Vic Jalili of "The Autobarn Of Mt Pr Prospect". I am 100% satisfied with the level of service that Allan Mando and his management Rafi Ohanian and Vic Jalili of "The Autobarn Of Mt Prospect" provided me. The facility is very clean and the staff is professional and courteous. Allan assisted me in the purchase of my certified pre-owned VW CC. The guys there are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to listen to what I wanted prior to actually going to the dealership. I explained to Allan that I had an extremely busy schedule and he made my life easier by communicating with me via email and phone prior to me visiting the dealership. I really loved the fact that the transaction was completed in a time efficient manner. Rafi and Vic took the time to help me out with getting the best price possible. Also they gave a great rate on the loan, better than what I had expected. These guys will go above an beyond to make a customer satisfied, they made sure I was satisfied with the purchase, and I appreciated that the most. After purchasing my vehicle John Paul kindly assisted me with minor details (Fix A few scratches, Detail and wash the car, etc.). John has gone above and beyond to make sure I was 100% satisfied. I can honestly say I enjoyed my purchase experience with "Autobarn Of Mt Prospect" and thanks to Allan, Rafi, Vic and John I will return here again for my next car. Happy VW Fan. Pete........... More

Nick helped us over the phone and facilitated our visit to the location with exceptional politeness, efficiency, and helpfulness. Joey was our main sales contact, and his ease of manner, congeniality, fri to the location with exceptional politeness, efficiency, and helpfulness. Joey was our main sales contact, and his ease of manner, congeniality, friendliness and especially his knowledgeability about Volkswagen autos--doubtless due in part to his prior experience in service--made what could have been a daunting process an easy and enjoyable one. He answered all our questions clearly and without hesitation. He was energetic and efficient. Indeed, the entire team struck us as models of efficiency. Joe N., who helped us with the financial details and final paperwork, displayed a perfect balance between friendly conversation and clear, simple explanations of the stack of documents and agreements we signed in order to complete our purchase. Nick, Joey, and Joe made us feel entirely at ease. At no point did we feel rushed or pressured. This is the second certified pre-owned VW vehicle we have purchase at Autobarn of Mt. Prospect, and once again our experience there was truly stellar. They run an excellent business with outstanding employees and of course a top-notch product. There are many auto sales possibilities much nearer our home on the South Side of Chicago, but we had no hesitation making the longer trip north to Mt Prospect, given our past very positive experience there. We are very happy to have made the trip a second time! More
