We bought a 97' Civic from Griffon Auto Sales in Lakemoor. The owner, Ray, is friendly and…read morecommunicative, and talked us through a number of options in our price range. We are so happy with the car we ended up with, and also with the helpfulness of the owner and mechanic. Plenty of options under 10,000, and they work with you to find a car that fits your needs.

I decided to stop by and look at the cars they had for sale, but I had a really tight budget, so hard to work around. Ray, the owner, walked me through a couple of the options they had remotely close to my price range, and one of them was a new acquisition that they had just got in. Ray was honest with me and told me he would not sell me that car before he made sure it was completely safe. He went above and beyond to fix everything that car needed fixed in the least amount of time possible, and even more, and he showed me all the receipts for everything. I cannot say how much I appreciate everything he has done for me. I just got into the country, I work as an intern at a local business, and I really needed a safe car to get around. He gave me an amazing deal and the opportunity to work with my payments, because he understood my situation, and took a huge leap of faith with me. I can't recommend this business enough. Rather you need your car detailed, or you need a new car, make sure you come by his store.

I went in and Debbie said all the cars are unlocked.....no one following us like a shadow telling me everything, they think,I want to hear. This is my kind of place! Year later I needed a car. I researched for hours everyday looking for a vehicle which I didn't know what to pick or what I really wanted. Retek had 8 vehicles I was very interested in where as everyone else might have caught my attention with ONE! Bought a solid car from them. Including the front end work Debbie had done on it. Over $1,400! It wasn't an expensive car but she sure is perfect! Shop here, Debbie is an honest seller.

Bought two vehicles from them and they're both still alive and well to this day. An '09 Nissan Rogue and a '14 Subaru XV Crosstrek. Both are solid and the Rogue in particular has taken a beating over the years but keeps on going. 245K+ Miles on that one, and bought her at 133K. The crosstrek has 155K+, bought almost 2 years ago at 95K. Nick is my favorite at the shop but anyone you speak to there is going to treat you with respect and be professional. Sorry it took me this long to re-write my review, my opinion has certainly shifted over the years. Thanks for the two solid vehicles.

Buyer Beware: My Experience with Bold Motors in Illinois…read more I recently purchased a vehicle from Bold Motors in Illinois for my son, who is attending college and needed reliable transportation. Since he had to take out a loan to afford the car, we were especially cautious. The salesperson--who I believe is also the owner--assured us that the vehicle had been thoroughly inspected and was in excellent condition. However, shortly after taking delivery, we ran a routine check for any open recalls. When we brought the car to a certified Ford dealership for the necessary recall work, the mechanics informed us that both the engine and transmission were on the verge of failure and would require extensive repairs. I immediately contacted Bold Motors to discuss the situation. A woman named Sara answered the phone. After I explained what the Ford mechanics had found, she told me I'd need to speak directly with the owner. When I asked to leave my name and number, she abruptly hung up on me. Shortly afterward, I received a text message from her that read: "Unfortunately we can't help you, it will be better if you call your lawyer so he can talk to the owners. Thank you." This response was both shocking and deeply frustrating. The complete lack of accountability and professionalism was unacceptable--especially considering we made this purchase in good faith based on their verbal assurances. My sincere advice to anyone considering doing business with Bold Motors is to think twice. The last thing any parent--or anyone--needs is to be saddled with a costly, unsafe vehicle and a dealership unwilling to stand behind its word.

Tracy is the owner and he wasted two days of my time by telling me the car in question had no defects known to him. It had clean Carfax and was in "great running order." One check with my own OBD2 (diagnostic scanner) brought up so many issues I actually lost count. He claimed he didn't know anything about it. He just knew the engine light didn't come on so he thought it was fine. One simple test with a $25 diagnostic tool brought up a truckload of issues but he was going to sell the car without issue because the check engine light wasn't on. Do not waste your time here. They will sell you trash without batting an eyelash.

Bought one truck from here, so far so good... However, I…read moredigress... A month ago, my son and I looked at a truck. Seemed to be in good condition (by auto Industry standards = body needs work but FREE FROM MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES)... Drove it, liked it and began to look at some things. The only thing we noticed was that there was a pretty good "shake" in the steering and it could have been from a missing stabilizer link. "Oh yeah, we'll have our mechanic look at everything..." May 1, 2019: Came back, looked at the truck again and drove it... "Shake" in the steering was gone an every thing seemed like it would be a good "buy". May 6: Broken rear leaf spring shackle and the fuel lines "are rusted so bad they are hemorrhaging fuel" (master tech at Chevy dealer)... $1700 in repairs... 6 days old... Called them to report what is going on with my son's truck and all I got was: "I wouldn't take any word from any mechanic at any dealership. If you wanna bring it to my guy...". YOUR GUY MISSED A COMPLETELY RUSTED THRU LEAF SPRING SHACKLE AND FUEL LINES THAT ARE LEAKING!!! Prolly best to take ANY car/truck you're thinking of buying from here straight to a rack and have it inspected... No exceptions...
