I went to buy a used chevrolet cobalt LT today. The car has very good condition, and they order me very good service. The dealer GRACIANO worked with me, I have to say that he is really professional and ni has very good condition, and they order me very good service. The dealer GRACIANO worked with me, I have to say that he is really professional and nice. He explained every detail so clearly and helped me a lot to deal with the price. I have looked for a car for quite a long time on craigslist, and I was disappointed to buy a used car, but the experience here in autobarn has really changed my opinion that I have never expected. I saved a lot of time and gained reassurance. More
You truly have a valued employee in James Fischer. My wife and I recently made a visit to The Autobarn VW in MT. Prospect where we purchased a pre-owned Acura MDX SUV. I am writing to let you know th wife and I recently made a visit to The Autobarn VW in MT. Prospect where we purchased a pre-owned Acura MDX SUV. I am writing to let you know the professionalism James showed us during our visit. James made us feel as though we were talking to him in our own living room while enjoying a cup of coffee. He has the ability to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. His product knowledge was amazing on the entire line carried by the Autobarn. He answered our tough questions and guided us in making a GREAT selection. It's too bad we can't take James' enthusiasm, people skills and salesmanship, put it in a bottle and let others have a drink. There is no doubt, that if James wanted to, he could sell freezers to Eskimos. Special thanks to Raffi Ohanian General MGR, Joe Nowakowski F&I Mgr, and Jeff Fender Internet Consultant. We will definitely be back to shop at The Autobarn VW as well as tell our friends and neighbors about our great experience. More

My wife and I were looking for a car on Saturday afternoon. Martin was the first person to come and help us with our buying experience. We were leaning toward getting a Jetta Wagon in Diesel and Mar afternoon. Martin was the first person to come and help us with our buying experience. We were leaning toward getting a Jetta Wagon in Diesel and Martin was very helpful in weighing the pros and cons of diesel. I did not drive enough to make it justified and went to look at my second choice which was the Tiguan. We test drove the Tiguan for the second time and loved it. I was not ready to make a purchase but promised to come back on Monday. I decided to go with the 2013 Tiguan SEL All Motion. I came to the dealership on Monday to purchase the Silver Tiguan SEL that was on the lot. The car was sold by the time I got there. I they decided to get the black with beige interior. What a good choice. I am so glad I chose the different color. It's a sweet combination. Martin was busy with a customer but had Graciano work with me. I really enjoyed working with Graciano. He was very patient with me on getting me the price that I asked with the 1.9& financing. Very pleasant, no pressure shopping experience with Martin and Graciano. Martin was very helpful in showing us a new car. Graciano did a great job in getting the best price. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone and be sure to ask for Martin or Graciano . More
My saleman and sales expeirence was fine. Cliff was very honest and the we are happy with the car. The problem lies with the license plates. They made us pay for out plates so one of their companies cou honest and the we are happy with the car. The problem lies with the license plates. They made us pay for out plates so one of their companies could process our title and plates. The problem is the car needed to be emissions tested. No one called or let us know so just before the temp plate expired we called to see our status? No answer left message. After several attempts we were told to call a lady who was very rude to my wife. She insulted my wife and told her they had contacted us and advised us we needed Emissions testing done and we did not comply. This did not happen no one ever called my wife or I. We then got the car emission tested and sent the testing by priority mail to the dealership. The car temp tag was expired 12/28/2013; knowing that you would think a reputable dealership would have sent anothere tag until they complications were settled. This never happened. I had to park the car I just bought for my wife. In Indiana you have to have valid license and plates for insurance to cover the vehicle. I still have not lost my temper but my wife refuses to talk to Autobarn as she states they are rude to her and she does not like that. Well I called and went through the same process where no one answers and I left a voicemail on the phones. I never recieved a call back. I finally got through one day to JOE who was not overly nice but not rude who put me on hold then let me know that our Emissions did get in and that had all the information they needed. I live 1 hr and 45 min from MT Prospect in Indiana but I offered to drive there to get all the paperwork so I can license the car so we can use it. I was put on hold again for several minutes then JOE came back and said the infomation is on its way to the Indiana BMV. I then contacted the BMV for the past 3 days and as of yet they still have not recieved them!!!! My wife has been 17 days without being able to drive the car I just financed her through your process! We have done everything as we were told and are suppose too and to this point have been very easy going and civil. Autobarn has been Rude and evasive for what reasons???? If they would have just sent another temp. plate we would not be aggravated. 17 days and counting with no use of our car----> what would you do? Again sale we have no issues; what are you hiding??? Call and give us some reasonable answers! More
My husband and I have been a long time customer to this dealer and we highly recommend to everyone. We always have great experience with all sales staff including Raffi, Vic, Cliff and this time was no ex dealer and we highly recommend to everyone. We always have great experience with all sales staff including Raffi, Vic, Cliff and this time was no exception. It was our first time working with Graciano and he went above and beyond to help us - until the moment he delivered my brand new gorgeous beetle. He is very friendly, genuine and sincere and more importantly he made it happen! He helped us to get the deal - also thanks so much Raffi for such an easy and swift negotiation, thanks for sealing the deal with such warm and friendly smile. Needless to say I am once again a very happy & satisfied customer who will return again and again. Thanks so much Graciano & Raffi!!! More
The best ever car buying experience I have ever had. I left feeling very fortunate to have worked with them on the purchase of my car. I would never purchase a car from anyone other than these gentleman. left feeling very fortunate to have worked with them on the purchase of my car. I would never purchase a car from anyone other than these gentleman. Their attention to detail was second to none. Graciano Drwila was informative, patient, and efficient. Customer service during all aspects of the experience was great, and the price was very competitive. Whole staff was friendly and customer service oriented. Highly recommend them when you are looking for a new vehicle. Knowledgable and willing to work with clients to help them find exactly what they want, without being overbearing. I am going back tomorrow, as it was very late when I left there shop (around 9:30pm) and Graciano & his Manager working to get me a deal. Very Good Service among all the nearest 60004(zip code) CAR Dealers. I recommend this dealer to all. Hoping We could get a good deal tomorrow and be the owner of my first Volkswagen car. More

I recently bought a used 2006 VW Passat. I test drove it during the day and everything seemed great. However, after all paperwork was done and it was night time, while still in the garage I noticed the stee during the day and everything seemed great. However, after all paperwork was done and it was night time, while still in the garage I noticed the steering wheel controls were flashing and not working. I pointed it out to James Fischer and he said to call him if it continued and he said he would take care of it. I called and emailed James and finally 4 days later I was contacted by Autobarn. Also, the same day the rear view mirror detached from the windshield! They told me they would give me "a discount on the diagnostics" to find out whats wrong and fix the mirror. I feel insulted and swindled when the problem was noticed on their lot still and they offer to help by giving me just a discount to find out whats wrong. Then I would be responsible for the cost of fixing it. This was my first car I bought and it was a terrible experience. Someone had to have known about the steering control problem and did not disclose it to me and when I noticed I get this type of help? In my opinion the employees of Autobarn are not very honest and any car should be looked at by another mechanic to verify all they say. My overall experience has been poor to very poor. They really earned the stereotypical used car salesman tactics. More
I recently purchased my 2012 Jetta from Autobarn VW of Mt. Prospect, and my entire experience was excellent and stress free. Allen, who first showed me the car and Chris, who conducted the purchase, both Mt. Prospect, and my entire experience was excellent and stress free. Allen, who first showed me the car and Chris, who conducted the purchase, both deserve A++ ratings! In the three short months that I've owned the Jetta, I've already logged 6,000 miles. It's a great little car, and a pleasure to drive every day. Additionally, I brought it back to this dealership for an oil change, and found the service advisors to be friendly, knowledgable and efficient. Thank you! More
