Justin and Eric in the service department were very helpful and thorough. The mechanic did a great job on my repairs. It was evident that the service team cared about me and my vehicle. read more

shady sales tactics went in on the information on my car for Friday. It was still available. Waited all day Saturday with no calls. Sold the car out from under me for more money on Saturday then texted me late Monday and said the car was not available. I have worked with many dealerships in the past and never had a car sales manager and the sales associate basically liars I will be contacting at a corporate because I have many friends in the auto dealership world read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Napleton Chevrolet in Palatine. I brought my car in for routine service, and in the 24 hours they had it, my driver-side mirror was damaged. It was completely fine when I dropped it off. I brought it back as soon as I noticed, but they refused to take responsibility. To make matters worse, they tried to charge me nearly $700 to replace it. After doing some research, I found two other dealerships that quoted me less than half that price for the same repair. It felt like they were trying to take advantage of me, especially as a woman driving a company car. I'd strongly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to any repairs here. read more

My son purchased a used 2010 Malibu less than 6 months ago and less than 9,000 since and brought it in to them for an oil change and they said he needs new trans lines that the ones now are leaking front and back. What the heck under 6 months and hardly any miles since he purchased it and you want him to pay $650.00 to fix it??? Stand behind what you sell or make an offer. BBB look into them !!! read more

I still can't get my warranty money back which they promised I can cancel anytime I want. Cheater! Be aware this dealer!

Read the news. One of the dealers like this got involved lawsuits. According to NBC news. At least 10 other dealerships got involved in illegal practices. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/customers-of-an-illinois-dealership-group-could-be-eligible-for-part-of-a-20m-settlement/3631294/?amp=1p read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. They wasted my time and then ghosted me! After reading other reviews of the place, it sounds like the entire dealership needs serious training in Customer Service. Jay and Chris were very rude to me, treated me like I was young and naive. They wasted my time for 8 days, to then tell me it would be another 3 weeks before my car would be delivered. They let me waste my time obtaining the GM and first responder discounts to then tell me those discounts aren't stackable. They were very unprofessional, very delayed in communication, and unwilling to work with me. Do yourself a service and shop for a vehicle anywhere else. read more

I was driving from Wisconsin border southeast to Oak Brook early one morning. My new Subaru started flashing warning signs of low tire pressure and 'critical failure' (or something like that). I was alarmed. Was scared I wouldn't make it home from Rt. 12 before coming across a source of tire air. I remembered this dealership when I purchased my last Chevy in 2017. My car was shipped from this dealer to the one I purchased it from. LOVED my Chevy Trax! I drove up to Service and told the technician I had an emergency, my tire was getting flat with many miles to go.. The technician was SOOOO very caring! He pulled my car inside service for a few mins. and filled ALL my tires to the brim so I could make it home. THANK YOU, Napleton Palatine for hiring such wonderful service reps! When I am ready for another car, I know where I'm going!! I don't like my Subaru, anyway--liked my Chevy Trax much better! read more

Was visiting my son in Palatine and my SUV didn't start. Had AAA jump me, just so I was able to get my SUV in for a new battery. Called Chevrolet of Palatine, since my exisitng battery was still under warranty. With an hour before closing they were able to install a new battery. Tony Benevice & Dan Piszczek, were extremely professional, personable, and knowledgable. They were ablle to get me in and out in less then an hour and I was able to still enjoy my visit with my son, instead of having to tow my vehicle back to Naperville. My son is looking for a new vehicle and will surely consider your dealership, based on the service department at Chevorlet of Palatine. Thank you again Tony & Dan for a seemless process in getting us back on the road! read more

I purchased a used car from Chevrolet of Palatine on March 24, 2024. At that time, I bought the smart autocare warranty for $3,800 and was informed that I had 3 months to cancel for a 100% refund (June 24, 2024). Within two weeks, I decided to cancel the warranty. Despite my multiple attempts to contact Bill Archibald, the finance manager, over the past few months, I received no response. When I finally reached someone in the finance department at the dealership, I was informed that I needed to stop by and sign something. When I visited the dealership to cancel the warranty, May 24, 2024, I spoke with Joe Vallejo. He took a copy of our warranty and an odometer reading, assuring me that the refund would be processed the following day. I intentionally asked about signing something or any other requirements for canceling the warranty and I was assured there were none. Joe mentioned that the refund processing would take 6-8 weeks and our loan would be credited. Therefore, we won't know if the refund has been processed until after June 24, 2024, which is past the 100% refund deadline. In addition, I'm paying daily interest on the $3,800 while the credit is pending. We paid cash for the warranty, Bill failed to mention that was a "down payment" and he rolled the warranty into the loan. I even ASKED him point blank about it and he said that's why I'm paying cash because it's separate from the loan. After 4+ hours of being in the dealership, they bank on you being so done you just want to get out of there. And the icing on the cake they only gave us one set of keys as we left. We asked about the second set and they went back to their desk area looking only to realize there is only one set. Only to then say to use we told you before there was only one set. No. No, you absolutely did not say that. I'm just disgusted with how this is all playing out. I have been trying to reach both Joe and Bill for the past week to confirm the status of the refund, but neither has responded. I've emailed customercare@leaderauto.com but I'm sure the bot will tell me how sorry they are and to contact them so they can help. I'm still waiting for their response. read more

Attention, attention, the best experience I ever had just occurred. I was always hesitant on dealerships because things get sketchy. Shy relieved me of all my worries and everybody should experience his salesmanship. Cheers! read more

New name, same bull. I was hoping for an improvement from the terribly sexist experience I had previous - it's been almost 6 years and has a new owner! I cautiously tried to go to their website, because there is an open recall on my car (I was reminded by a call from a much further away, amazing Chevy dealer). Their website isn't working today, apparently. So I called, and said there's an open recall, and was asked "so do you want to make a service appointment?" and maybe it's just me... but why else would I be calling? To just inform the front desk guy I have an open recall? I was then transferred to service, and they found me in the records from the 1 time I'd been in 2014. I was asked how many miles were on the car, and I said I didn't know, but that why does the number of miles on my car affect an open recall on the battery (that they themselves sent me a bright orange mailer about?). I can describe the recall, and what it does, and to my knowledge is the only open battery related recall my card has had in 6 years. She said without the mileage, (even though she found my car in the system and called me by my first name), she couldn't find the recall info or schedule an appointment. The only reason I can think to want the mileage was for warranty purposes, but an open recall means it is processed for free, warranty aside. Mileage was not needed by the other dealership (who I haven't been to in at least 2 years), so I know that's horse hockey. TLDR: Stick sucks, may no longer be sexist, but super-duper I'm-driving-my-car-1-hr-away-to-a-halfway(awesome)-dealer-instead. I hate this place so much I'm willing to drive 2 hours out of my way to go somewhere else. That should say something. read more

First and foremost, when the Head Service advisor tells you to your face "How "F" sick and tired he is of your car showing up there" after repeated 4 failed repair attempts", that in its self speaks volumes about the dealership and how it's run and operated.... Update on the 2016 Malibu purchased after my 1st review. Referring back to the check engine light that to this day is unresolved after 4 tries. The most recent visit believe it or not is STILL the dreaded Check engine light after all this time. BUT, like a bad neighbor, this time instead of repairing for what still should be at no charge, the colors of this operation are finally revealed..... Palatine Chevy are demanding a $2000 + fee for a problem that was there since day one of purchase. Instead of doing whats right all this while going in and out of the service bay patiently, they chose to push this buyer into a miserable experience. read more

See all

Folks, this comes with a warning about purchasing a vehicle from Chevrolet of Palatine. Chris gave me my finance apr and I had communicated to him that I was going to check my credit union rate. The rate Chris gave me was 6.9%, my credit union came in at 4.5%. I told him this last night. I again told him that I was waiting back for a call from credit union. Nothing was said at that time. When I called Chris back to let him know of my approval and to make arrangements to come and pick up the vehicle and that I would be financing it through my credit union. Chris at this point said that his dealership was not accepting outside financing. I asked if that is because the dealership makes money off the financing as well, and Chris confirmed this. I then told Chris, that he should have explained this to me before I had applied through my credit union. I then expressed dismay to him for not telling him, and Chris's exact words were, "Well sir, if you want to play the victim," I thought Chris would have accepted ownership over his actions, but this never happened. it's sad when hard working people are trying to save money and they are called "playing the victim." Chris was the deciding factor in me NOT going to Chevy of Palatine. I hope it will be your as well. Chris made it very clear, it is not about the customer, in fact it is about the money. Chris, thank you for showing your true colors before I purchased the vehicle. read more

Went there to look at a certified pre-owned suv. After the test drive we sit down to talk numbers, and see that a ceramic clear coat and interior protection plan is "not" optional. They also included delivery charges for a "used" vehicle. They came back and removed the delivery, upped our trade in, but refused to remove this exterior/interior spray on surface protector. And tell us that the website was wrong this is not a certified pre-owned. Just a used car and tact on an additional warranty without giving us details about it. We got up and walked away. After the manager said they couldn't honor the certified pre-owned, after he contradicted himself as saying it is just a warranty. Which we could just buy one. read more

Napleton Palatine Chevrolet - Dealer - Car Dealers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Avoid at all costs. Do not do business. A terrible business with terrible business policies. They are the scum of the earth. Gave them a whole month to do the right thing and they continue to fail us as customers. We are attempting to cancel a warranty, which when we purchased, we were assured we can cancel at anytime. Every time we call they tell us " a manager will call you back" and they never do. its been every week for a month. we call with no response. BROKEN DEALERSHIP. DO NOT DO BUSINESS. Let this business fail. read more

To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I brought my car in for a recall and to have them check out a few issues- including a check engine light and a TPM sensor that went out in the rear right wheel. I also told them I needed a new battery. They told me it would cost $180 for the diagnostic on the check engine light, but it would be applied to the repair. I was told the TPM sensor needed to be replaced and the check engine light was due to the battery dying-. They gave me options on the battery and I took the best one for $315 "out the door". I said I would pass on the TPM because it would cost almost $600 and the tires were new so I would do it later. When they rang me up, the new battery cost almost $500. They said the diagnostic didn't go toward the battery because the battery check is free. Even though they used the diagnostic to determine the battery was the cause of the check engine light. Lied to twice on that one. To make matters worse- I went to flip through my TPM- and now all 4 sensors are not working. Coincidence? I think not. I'll never use this dealership again, and, likely will never buy a Chevy again either. read more

Time wasting, frustrating, lazy - are the words applicable here. On Saturday I got the 0 down deal for Chevy Equinox. When I arrived on Wednesday night - they started very strange negotiation strategy which would bring me to the same numbers but with 1 or 2K down. This is insane to literally ask to add a grand or two for nothing. Further better - only black Equinoxes! Karl only black! Are you serious? When I asked when I can get the white one - they responded they are not going to do this nearest time, because Black Friday is approaching and they will not be able to lock the car. I already knew I am not going to buy, unless they impress me with something cool like rebate or cashbacks. When sales returned and informed me that my score is a bit less than 700 so they will ask $100 more per month. Are you reasonable guys?! I am leasing Lexus for this price, kidding you not. The cherry on the cake: even if I would work out better financing through my bank - GM Financials would not match it?! They would not match, Karl! According to Patric, senior manager. I doubt he means what he says. read more

Luis in Service really assisted me when I was in a bad situation. I realized that my tire was low on air and when I checked it there was 10 psi. The worthless machine at the Shell station failed to function. As I had to be with a client in less than an hour I drove across the street to Chevy and told Luis I would pay what ever amount to get some air in my tire. Luis said that it was no charge and proceeded to have a very friendly technician check and air up all my tires on a very cold day within 5 minutes. I do not even drive a Chevrolet. Luis was a life saver. Give that man a raise. read more

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS... I WOULD! I bought a brand new 2019 Chevy Equinox. It's still under powertrain warranty. Recently within the past year it's been having transmission issues. It's been brought to Chevrolet of Palatine on three different occasions. The 3rd visit, June 2nd, 2023, i came in and told them its having the same transmission issue. I asked them if they had a loaner I could use to get to work, like the first and second visit. They said no. However, once their tech drove the car and confirmed, yes, it's having the same transmission problem again, they then said yes we have a loaner. They lied the first time. Not a good faith response. Now it's been two months, and it's still not fixed. The vehicle is sitting on their lot with the brakes rusting and battery dead. I tried calling them for an update, but never got a clear concise answer, or they'll say "We'll call you back." On July 25th, 2023. A truck blew its trailer tire and hit the front of the loaner. According to the state troopers report, I was not at fault. I tried calling them but no answer. I finally got through and told them what happened. They asked me to bring the loaner in. Then they said they'd file a claim with my personal vehicle insurance. However, they also asked that I pay $1000 directly to them for the damage! No official damage assessment was even made yet by an adjuster. I wouldn't even have been in their loaner had they fixed my car in a timely fashion.... not have it sit on their lot for (2) months. This whole time, I've been paying my monthly payment on my car while I can't even use it. And time is being used up on my available powertrain warranty. read more

Sold them my used car went fine except the extended warranty refund i was told 2 to 3 weeks for a refund then 6 to 8 weeks we are going on almost 3 months and they have never explained the delay the finance manager called me and said we would monitor this together and i would my refund by the end of the week and that was 2 weeks ago stay away read more

Buying a car with them was the worst experience I've ever had. 1st they refused any kind of credit union check. 2nd when they helped with car insurance they filled out all the information for me to help me get a "lower" rate, and a week later progressive ended up calling me to do a interview about some of the questions they answered for me, which they lied about, and when I answered them correctly my insurance almost doubled. 3rd and the worst part of my experience is Robert the finance guy, who gave me 50 dollars and told me to buy dinner for myself on him that he took out of the cash I gave him for a down payment. He also told me if I ever needed help paying my monthly payment to call him and he would help me and to think of him as a "sugar daddy", as I'm crying because this was the first time I was buying a car by myself and my car broke down unexpectedly, so it was a rough couple days for me. He said he likes to take care of girls like me. Now it's almost 2 years down the road and people for the dealership are hassling me to refinance or get into a new car at a better rate, so I decide to do it. They ding my credit multiple times, no one calls me back, or has a straight answer for me, and it's been 5 days no call back. I would stay far far away from this place. read more

New name, same horrible customer service. I brought my car which is under warranty to Chevrolet of Palatine (Grossinger) to get repaired. Check engine light is on and the engine is horrendously loud, clanking. It was also sluggish. There was also an oil leak. Pulled into the drive with the check engine light on and the clanking was very loud. Service advisor David said "I hear it, something isn't right." Check engine light was on when he got the miles out of the car and he heard the noise. I showed him pictures of the oil leak, which you can see under the hood and under the vehicle which I brought it for last month and they said it wasn't leaking and cleaned it up. The oil leak was back. David calls me the same day, said there is no check engine light on (which he saw in the drive) said there is no noise (he heard it in the drive) and there is no oil leak only seeping (they cleaned it off last month and it's soaked with oil again.) Lying to me hours after he and I both witnessed these issues at the same time and addressed it to me. Lying to customers. He told me he is not fixing the car, even though he had admitted he heard the noise earlier, saw the check engine light and the leak. Blew me off. Not customer pay so they told me to pick my car up. I bought a car with a warranty so when it breaks I can bring it to the dealer to get fixed. Not blown off. He was rude and obviously does not want to fix anything. I've had poor experiences at Grossinger Chevrolet, and they continue at Chevrolet of Palatine. I will not be returning nor buy a vehicle there again. read more

Bought a used vehicle from the last week while looking over the car fax I asked if one of the recalls was taken care of the sales person asked his boss and came back and said yes it was. I got home and ran the vin number on the government recall site and found out that they had lied to me. I know that used car salesmen get a bad reputation but when this happens you see why that it is. I will inquire with the Illinois state's attorney office and the Better Business Bureau to report this incident. I won't ever go back to this place of business and maybe if you read this this you would really reconsider ever doing business with them either. read more

Don't waste your time at this dealer!!!! They are deceptive with their pricing and rude; Scott (a sales person) hung up on me when I asked why he was charging me a second delivery fee... Patrick one of their sales managers did not call me back when I called to ask why Scott would hang up on a customer... The 'just of it;' they advertised a 2018 Centennial Colorado which had a MSRP of $45970 for $37975. When I offered the asking price I was given a run around about price, then quoted a higher price and when I pushed for the original sales price; I was then told they could sell it to me at the advertised sales price, but I would have to pay a destination charge of $995, which is already included in the MSRP. When I called Scott on this, he stated he has been selling cars this way for five years.... Just double check the numbers they give you... What they advertise, is not what they will sell you the car for, or at least not in my case.... read more

This dealership advertises car prices online to draw you in, then when you get to the dealership, refuse to sell to you without 5K of low value add ons, or if you have your own financing or cash, because they want to charge a high interest rate. In my case it was double. I pitched a fit and was ushered to the finance manager who told me the car that we had been negotiating on the past hour had already been sold (deposit down) and they wanted to see if I'd pay for everything that night. They had told me the car was available the hour before I came in. Beware of this dealership, they are deceptive and predatory. read more

I came here thinking, hoping, and believing that this place would actually help me but only caused me more stress. Kevin Cayton who in my opinion is very untrustworthy and the typical car salesman who only wants to help themselves make the most commission of a sale sure did not look out for my best interest. After getting there in the mid-evening I ended up speaking with the finance team and I had let them know what vehicle I wanted. I then meet with Kevin the manager and he tells me that car was sold. I later found out that it wasn't a week and a half later. After looking at one car, he told me my car payment would be more than 750 a month. YEAH RIGHT! So instead of trying to put me into something I could afford, he pushed me into a vehicle that wasn't that much cheaper but is also a risk for high theft in my area. Two weeks after having the 2017 Hyundai Tucson, my catalytic converter was stolen from my vehicle as well as damage to the muffler. I now have to pay 1000 deductible to get that fixed and an extra 500.00 to get a clamp put on the converter so no one can mess with it. Money that should be put towards my car payments and not insurance claims !!! In addition to that, he also admitted to inflating my income to the bank to get me approved, lied about how much my monthly car payments actually were, and also lied about the company I would be financing the car through. I have been in contact with the finance company and the dealership to return the vehicle back with no penalty or to trade the car for something else but no one has returned my inquiries. At this point, I'm either going to go to another dealership or contact the attorney general. I definitely regret coming here and I would advise anyone to not work with this person or go to this dealership. read more

O.M.G. I inquired about a car from here months ago, and no matter what I do, they WILL NOT leave me alone. They call. They email. They email AGAIN. And a different rep every time!

Stay FAR away from this place, unless you want to be harassed for the rest of your life. read more

I have never in my life dealt with a business that is completely unprofessional in my life. I was charged for a Lo Jack that they kept pushing me to purchase. Paid $2,599 for it only to find out weeks later that they never installed it on my vehicle. I asked for a refund spoke to CHRISTIAN the "manager" he made me sign a paper to cancel it and I will receive the refund in max 5 days. It's been almost 3 weeks and I have not received anything. My phone number was BLOCKED when I asked them for the check number. They are very rude very very unprofessional. I do not recommend this dealer to my worse enemy. STAY AWAY! read more
