They had the perfect C8 Corvette E-Ray I really wanted. I am out of state and initially called and worked with Brian to get a deal set. He was pretty responsive and easy to work with. I wanted to just pay I am out of state and initially called and worked with Brian to get a deal set. He was pretty responsive and easy to work with. I wanted to just pay cash and they weren't pushy at all about doing a finance option plus I still feel like I got a great deal. From there, I primarily worked with Dave who was very responsive and helped me through the process of getting the paperwork all handled correctly and quickly. I believe I got the car delivered within about 6*7 days of settling on the deal, which felt quick given being out of state. I would absolutely recommend this dealership and would do business with them again! More

I was truly steered by God to this dealership. I am now a customer for life. I found them while searching for a new Hummer ev on the GMC corporate website. I can with great confidence declare th I am now a customer for life. I found them while searching for a new Hummer ev on the GMC corporate website. I can with great confidence declare that Marquardt GMC and their entire team are truly the pinnacle of what they advertise “Expect, honesty, integrity and transparency.” Frankly, in their quest for professionalism and value for the customer they exceed all expectations. I say this after a lifetime of experience in buying cars as I approach age 70. Please know it’s a smaller, family run type businesses. Note that is has successfully been in business since 1950. That is a testament that they are truly best in class at all that they do. The buying process always seem long, but they go through the effort to make you feel at home, address every concern with care and consideration and make the process comfortable and enjoyable in contrast to the adversarial approach others often take. My wife and I genuinely appreciate the blessings to have found this place, the people, and so happy with our new GMC Hummer Pickup. I can’t speak highly enough about Dave (Sales Mgr) and Tim M, Sales Associate. Thank you very much for the experience, the vehicle and all of the continued support. More

I purchased my first car when I was eighteen years old, then drove twelve hundred miles off to college. Over the sixty years since, I've had ample opportunity to go through the experience of purchasing an then drove twelve hundred miles off to college. Over the sixty years since, I've had ample opportunity to go through the experience of purchasing an automobile. Now that I have completed what well might be my last purchase of an auto, I feel as if my persistence has been rewarded. Without hyperbole I can say the sales experience that Blake gave us was genuine, sincere, straightforward and truthful, no shenanigans. He went beyond what was necessary and made us know that our interests were his priority; lots of suggestions, didn't miss a base. I think I made a new friend. Marquardt has a noticeably good vibe. The other staff I engaged with were laid-back friendly, answered every question with probity, while going through the necessary paperwork of the purchase. Marquardt of Barrington is special. Go there. More
