Very good service, every one was really friendly. Marco was really helpful and I had a good experience. 10/10

was looking for a car and found model I was looking for at Carwise for a good price. Sales rep was good. once I started signing paperwork things got worse 1. told me there was a second key FOB in the back - then when they could not find it said it never existed. Cost to replace $800 2. did not have licence plate holder and were unwilling to provice one. 3. Sales manager was arogant and not helpful. 4. turns out car was from Canada and US dealerships will not service it, Including working on a recall. The VIN is not listed in any of the US databases. Part numbers in US are different. The Genisis connect (satelite services and remote entry, etc,) does not work with US based mobile services. basically, you may find a good deal there but they are not customer service oriented if you have issues. read more

Bought a car here for my wife. They charged for plate transfer and never did anything. Now I can't get a hold of anyone at the stealership. No return calls after leaving many voicemails. They also over charged us on taxes, not using Wisconsin sales tax which is a difference of about $400. I highly recommend that everyone RUN from this place. read more

Message to Managers/ Owner at Car Wise Gurnee. I Youlonda Richards- Wilkins Purchased a 2019 Infiniti QX80 Black Truck last year March "2025" WITH A WARRANTY! The day I drove it off the lot (On a Saturday evening) I noticed some ticking/clicking noises. It was too late to take it back to the Dealership, so I waited until Monday (less then 48 hours later)I called to take it back for another inspection. (They tell you they do a full inspection all Vehicles- I guess mine was missed)I got an appointment & took my Truck in to be serviced. They kept my Truck for awhile (weeks) gave it back saying nothing was wrong with it. I ask for a invoice when I got it back to see what they did & nothing was given to me. I still requested it & still nothing. They said it was checked out & nothing is wrong with my Truck that I complained about over & over throughout the year "2025" I took my Truck to Infiniti of Orland Park to get inspected. They said it was something wrong with the Engine. I called Car Wise spoke to Paul (Service Manager) that same day, told them what I was told by Infiniti made a appointment to take it in so they can fix it. I took it in once again, gave them the Invoice that Infiniti gave me so they'll know what's going on with my vehicle. They got it in the shop, kept it for awhile, told me they sent it to another shop to get it checked out & said they ordered a piece for my Engine. I get a call days later to come pick up my Truck. I go pick it up & they said nothing was wrong with it. They said it's the Engine (V8)that's making that sound. I told them I traded my (V8) QX56 Infiniti in to you all to get this Truck & my QX56 didn't make that sound. I again asked for a invoice & didn't get it. I called many times & complained about the Clicking / Ticking and nothing was ever done to correct a problem that I noticed in the very beginning when I brought the Truck. They could have traded out Vehicles in the very beginning if they wasn't going to fix it. I brought my Truck back for another problem, but I always mentioned the clicking/ticking when talking to them hoping they'll do something about it. The Truck was (dropping in the back on both sides) they fixed that, but while it was in Car Wise Possession, it was in a accident. I was called & told a Tow Truck was letting down a car & it was too close to my Truck & it scrapped the Driver side of my Truck. I HAD NO GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH BUYING MY TRUCK FROM CAR WISE GURNEE!!!! I had to complain over & over for them to fix my Truck somewhat the right way from that accident. I'm still not happy with my Truck or the noise it makes. I took my Truck to Infiniti of Naperville. My Truck is still under warranty. I took it where I felt it would get serviced at instead of taking it where they'll keep it for weeks & then say come pick it up without a invoice. I wonder if they ever did anything while it was in their possession. Infiniti of Naperville confirmed again that it was a Engine problem. They Contact My/the Warranty Company. The warranty company had them to take the Truck apart so they can see what's going on. Again it's confirmed through them it's the Engine. They wanted info on what Car Wise did the times they had my Truck in 2025. I couldn't give it to them because they never gave me invoices when I picked my Truck up. I would tell them to txt it, email or mail it to me, they never did. I ended up talking to someone in the Warranty dept. Tuesday 4-21-26. We both called Car Wise together but it was a little early. They said they would call later to get the info on what they did to My Truck when I brought it in to get serviced in the year "2025" I was told a week later the Warranty Company will not pay to fix my Truck because It was Messed up when I brought it. My Truck now sits at Infiniti of Naperville (all broken down) I have a Warranty that I brought though Car Wise Gurnee that won't fix my Truck. I need to know what Car Wise Gurnee plan to do with my Truck that has a Warranty, that has a Engine problem I complained about since I got it. read more

Carwise Gurnee advertised a vehicle online at a specific price though upon arriving at the dealership, and proceeding to the final stages of the transaction, mandatory 3rd party service add-ons that exceeded $1,000 were introduced at the time of signing. These charges had not been disclosed in the original advertisement, nor at any point prior to the execution of purchase agreement documents. These add-ons were presented as non-negotiable condition of the sale. This conduct is in direct violation of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Advertising Regulations, which expressly prohibit the sale of a vehicle above its advertised price and require all material terms to be clearly and prominently disclosed at the outset of any offer. It further violates the Federal Trade Commission's Combating Auto Retail Scams Rule, which mandates that all mandatory add-ons be incorporated into the advertised offering price of the vehicle. Advertising one price while requiring consumers to pay a higher price through undisclosed mandatory charges is, without qualification, an unfair and deceptive business practice under Illinois and federal consumer protection law. This experience has been documented in full. Complaints are being filed with the Illinois Attorney General's Office and the Federal Trade Commission. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to demand a complete, itemized, out-the-door price in writing before setting foot in this dealership read more

Was in communication with dealership. Was ready to walk in and purchase a vehicle once I had received out the door pricing . Played lots of games and never followed through . Absolutely low brow and typical. read more

Dealer gets you in the door with fake online prices but then jacks them up when you walk in. After making a fuss they eventually honor the online price but then jack the price right back up with add-ons I specifically said I didn't want. I literally walked in their fully prepared to buy the vehicle for the their online price but walked out empty handed. They are hoping you are uneducated and not paying attention to take advantage of you. read more

Drove 3 hours to view a TRD. problems that weren't listed or described in the advertisements as follows, chips in the paint all over, dent in the passenger side, a replaced skirt, it looked like the bumper was held on by silicone adhesive was listed online at 24 they wanted 26 it was non negotiable. the salesman even said that the agent i talked to and had been texting isn't even in the same building as them. he had never even seen that car. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. My salesman Will was nothing short of a liar. The vehicle he sold me had so much rust underneath that two different mechanic shops wouldn't even touch it. The third said it was the worst they've ever seen. I bought the vehicle 4 months ago and haven't driven it yet bc its been in the shop since it arrived. A $30,000 nightmare. Stay away at all costs you've been warned!!! (I am suing the dealership so I will keep this review updated). Also check out the pictures below. I've bought 5 SUV's in my life and this was hands down the worst experience I've ever had read more

Horrible experience after asking on my initial arrival. Was there any hidden fees? Any packages thrown into the price? I was told no by the salesman upon signing the paperwork. I noticed they slipped in a care package for $899 which then I stated I did not want and then I was told by the sales manager, I could not purchase this car without purchasing the car package for $899 because they wouldn't be making any money which I was confused, because aren't you selling a vehicle? I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. The Attorney General's office and the cfpb and the ftc scammers. read more

interested in purchasing a 2019 Mercedes GLC 300 from this dealership. They advertised one price on their website and a lower price on AutoTrader. When I visited in person, I asked for the AutoTrader price, but they added an extra fee called "customer connectivity" amounting to over $1,000, which was never mentioned beforehand. This lack of transparency and the unexpected cost was very disappointing. Overall, it felt misleading and unprofessional. read more

I worked with Bryan A., a sales support specialist, on a 2021 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400. He was super knowledgeable and made the whole process smooth. He responded quickly and was helpful every step of the way. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

Be careful with the add ons. I was very happy with the process except with the add ons they insisted I buy. That was one downside. Second is after the purchase and driving it for a couple days I came to find the rear magneride shocks were locked up and rear windshield wiper motor was extremely loud and failing. They sold me a contract which should have covered everything but the contract company is refusing to cover the repairs due to not getting the prebuy inspection report from the dealer. We have both called the dealer multiple times and left multiple emails to no avail. I am very close to taking this to the next level. read more

Polite and helpful until you sign the paperwork for the car.  After that point, they are unprofessional and disrespectful.  I have a problem with the taxes paid for the car, I contacted the dealership 3 times, left a message at the web-site requesting a call back and I have not heard anything. This is unacceptable.  To potential new customers, I would suggest educating yourself about related taxes or better go somewhere else. read more

The 2020 Escape was my pick. I dealt with Bryan and he was pleasant and quick, overall an ok experience.

This dealer is shady. They use bait and switch pricing by forcing you to add on a package that costs $1000 in addition to the advertised price with no ability to have the additional, unnecessary package removed. This practice should be illegal. Car buyers should stay far away. read more

Don't buy a car from them if you can't see it in person. I bought a car from Carwise Gurnee a month ago, and the process and the honesty of their staff were disappointing. From the beginning, I did not receive the respect or service I expected. First, they added unwanted packages to the final price, and when I asked to remove them, they insisted on keeping at least one, which I neither wanted nor use. I requested a FaceTime call to view the car since I am in California and couldn't travel to Chicago, but they refused. I had to ask for videos, which only highlighted the car's good aspects. Important details like a service due 10,000 miles ago were only visible because I spotted it in the video, otherwise, this would have never been disclosed. When I asked about the overdue service, I never got an answer about what the car needed to do. Only after insisting on videos did I learn about a faulty light and a seat belt that needed repair (which was not properly fixed). The car also arrived with the passenger door inside cover loose and significant paint issues on the hood that were never mentioned, which looks like a 5 year old kid used a brush to paint and hide the dents and the work is horrible. After delivery, my mechanic found a broken brake cable support, which causes loud noises and should have been noticed and disclosed by the seller. There are more issues, but I believe this is enough for future customers to be aware of how they operate. read more

I left the car dealership with the utmost intention to leave a great review; however things rapidly changed. Within last 2 weeks I've sent the sales person three emails, left the Finance Manger a voicemail and a message in the general mailbox - no response. It's been two weeks and my existing car loan has not been paid off - I was calling to get an update. Additionally, the Sales Manager that sold me the car advised during the sale that there were two keys, I was given one, so I was calling and emailing to confirm. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of communication after the sale of the vehicle. read more

i'm not from Illinois however I do expect when I ask about a car if it's been inspected to be told the inspected apparently that is not the case or the law there. Also beware of trying to sell you a package telling you that you need to purchase it and if you opt out, you still have to pay $1000 for some anti-theft thing that they've invested in and that is not the case look it up for yourself I don't like this type of sales tactic and in fact, it made me go to Carmax as a result, also I did not expect to hear from the sales person when I said why do you really have some bad reviews out there because you wouldn't be able to tell unless you really dig to be told that customers are stupid I guess that was a red flag. I walked away. I normally don't make a habit of posting negative reviews I really have nothing to gain here. I would be super careful and look at the actual reviews out there get your facts so you can make an educated decision. read more
