    The only good car buying experience I've ever had! We agreed on a great price via email, I sent over my license, and when I arrived, the car was gassed up, cleaned, and all the paperwork was ready to go. It was such a relief after dealing with sleazy dealerships that promise one price and then sneak in "transportation fees," "tariff fees," and other nonsense. There were no games at McGrath--no "let me talk to my manager" tricks. As a single mom, it's hard enough to juggle everything, and it's even harder when businesses try to take advantage of you--especially when you're buying a car for your son. Jeff Goldman and Lou Perruffel were absolutely wonderful--kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. Lou was on the phone with an older client when we arrived and showed such respect and patience--it really stood out. I was immediately at ease and could tell I was in good hands. Thank you, McGrath. You've earned a customer for life and made a single mom very happy.

    Erosion on the bottom

    I got brand new Subaru 2024 crosstrek sport here November 2023. It has 1900 miles, and the bottom is all eroded. I got in today, talked/argued with 5 people, got pushed back and forth between service and sales. 2 guys in the process commented "yeah it is REALLY rusted". But upper managements find different reasons to say no and try to convince me that it is normal. This is so frustrating. I was treated rudely and got yelled at, they are not on the custom's side. It's a 4 months old car, parks in my indoor garage and erodes like this. They try to convince me it's normal. I'm going to call Subaru to get the issue resolved. I will not buy a car here again nor recommend this place to anyone else.

    Price quote.

    I saw a used Subaru Crosstrek Premium listed as "Subaru Certified" for $26,626 on Cars.com. I test drove the car and was ready to buy it but the sales person informed me that the Subaru Certification fee was another $1,595.00. They should list the total price or remove the Subaru Certified tag. I walked out of the dealership.

    Again Evan was very compassionate to our situation and negotiated a very fair return price for the vehicle.

    I had nothing but very negative reviews in the past because I was being honest about my past…read moreexperiences with this dealership. I just wanted to come back on here after our most recent service and leave a better review. They got rid of a lot of the people I had problems with and it honestly feels like things here improved a lot! I'm also writing this review to say that Jocelyn Nava is our go to service agent. Working with her is always pleasant because she truly displays great customer service skills. I'm glad to see that she still works here and a lot of the people who exuded bad energy are gone. It was also nice that they washed my Rav 4. I appreciate that a lot. Service has improved immensely.

    I am starting to lose faith in this dealership and will stop coming here once my service contract…read moreis up. I already have some reservations with this place because of their owners questionable political leanings (feel free to google him), but the thing that kept me in the contract was the service work that they did. That ended today. I came in and somehow left with over $400 in charges to fix up my car. While this might be small potatoes to most, I do have a service contract. On top of that, they charge for "shop supplies" and have a 3% credit card fee. I asked them to explain "shop supplies" and they really couldn't. Since I had to get to work and didn't want to argue over $38, I accepted it this time. They used to be really hands on with the customers and really walk them through the process so that everybody felt valued. I saw the Rep once when I walked in and she just went through the motions. No more updates, texts, anything. From now on, I will be bringing my car in for oil changes only. I will not be spending another cent more. If the will refund me the remaining part of my contract, I will go to the Toyota dealership a little closer to my house that is not part of this group.

    I am so glad these folks have patience for people like me. I had an accident a couple weeks prior…read moreand had purchased the previous car from this dealership with a decent interest rate. It was a decent experience then, but it was an excellent experience now. We even used their service department and never had an issue. We initially were going to buy at a dealership closer to our new home, but they just couldn't match up to what we were looking for and it felt icky. So we went back to Evanston. The lot at the dealership itself is a bit small and doesn't hold all of the cars in inventory. So as we were looking for the perfect vehicle, we realized that the right cars were at their other lot behind Target. So we had them find the 3 we were considering and pull them out for us to check out. The one we went there for missed a few boxes on our wish list, but the new soul red CX70 with the moonroof was exactly what we were after. Lastly, was the financing, we actually went in expecting to buy at 4.9 percent and they ended up financing at 1.9 percent. That value is really hard to find! The price was right, the interest rate was right, and the car was right. This has been a pleasure.

    They force a $250 'inspection' of your vehicle before you can even get to why you're there for a…read morespecific repair, oh and you get a video! Yea!! So if you have a brake problem they do a supposedly entire car inspection to upsell you on tires, brakes, filters, fluids etc. All that time should be spent on working on the reason you brought your vehicle in the first place!! Total rip off!!!
