I don't know where these negative reviews are coming from, but we felt totally at home here. NOBOBY was hounding us or pressuring us into buying a car. All the vehicles were clearly marked with a detailed description and pricing. No pushy, boisterous used car salesman approach was evident. Plenty of salespeople in their offices along the back wall. You could eat off the vehicles they were so clean and polished to perfection. They were totally renovated inside and out. Beautiful top notch, outstanding vehicles. You couldn't ask for better! Highly recommended! read more

Loved seeing the old cars remembering back when I saw a lot of them new at the dealerships as a kid. I would recommend getting discounted tickets through your local library though. I paid half price with the library discount coupon. read more

Not the best Never got back to me after they said. Had a consignment offer downloaded description and video, waste of time. Had a cash offer on a Chevy Camaro that they said was a frame off restoration. Photo of proof email sent promising to reach out they never did. read more

Volo Museum Auto Sales - Email copy - Car Dealers Near Me - Volo, Illinois

If you are looking for a truly well kept classic car to ad to your collection, this is not the place to shop. They have interesting cars, but they are rough. Looking down the lines you can see where they have been repaired &/or repainted. They offer two sales prices; "no hassle" pricing meaning pay total up front or an in-house loan rate at 120 months. For those of you who are bad at math, that is 10 years. The sign says "Let's go for a spin" but I am not sure how long you would have to wait to get the vehicle out of their gridlock. Overall, interesting to look as a "museum" but not a functional "auto sales" facility. read more

I purchased a 1966 Chevelle from Volo, it was advertised as a Body off Frame RESTORATION. The car wouldn't start when it was trying to be driven off the trailer, once fired up and off of the trailer I got in the passenger seat and told the delivery guy to go ahead and drive it around the block to see if it just needed to be warmed up. It kept shutting off till we got back to the house so I told him to go ahead and just pull it directly into the garage. When we got out, I noticed that the trunk lock was missing. I got in my other car and drove around the block and found the trunk lock laying in the road, so I got out, picked it up and drove back to my house. The delivery guy was about packed up and then shortly after he drove off. There was NO paperwork with the car that was supposed to be delivered with it. I started checking to see why the car wouldn't run... Vacuum advance hose disconnected from the distributor. I reconnected it to the distributor and then disconnected the other end of the hose and reconnected it to its PROPER port on the Carb. I then noticed that the PCV hose from the valve cover was not connected to its proper location either so I reconnected it. I now tried and the car fired up and ran. The engine that was said to be rebuild isn't properly cammed for the engine. Inside the car (4 speed car) I noticed WTF there's no parking brake pedal and release assembly. I got out and looked under the car and there are NO parking brake cables except for the cables hanging out from the rear brake drums. I drove the vehicle around the block a couple of times to warm it up and then back to the garage. I now checked and found that the heater didn't work, under the hood I saw the heater hose was kinked and not allowing coolant to flow but upon feeling the other hoses with my hands i found that the thermostat was not opening either. I decided to check the car over a bit more. Grey non-GM seatbelts for the front seats and they were improperly mounted to the seat mount rails. I then noticed that the driver's side seat was mounted on passenger side seat rails which places the seat adjuster between the seat and the shifter console. The shifter boot is torn in half. The heater controls are not functional and the blower doesn't work. There is body damage on both doors because of misalignment of both fenders and doors. There was spot paint on the lower corners of both doors, to cover up the body damage. Rust is on both doors where the cracks in the doors and the cracked paint is peeling off. Dry rotted body to frame mounts and door weather stripping. I find it personally difficult to properly adjust a fender that's NOT even bolted to the frame... (see the video) and yes, I have many, many pictures of all the BS that's wrong with this restored car... And the appraisal that people are charged for when purchasing a car from Volo is nothing more than an inhouse, Volo created checklist that's complete BS when it comes to a proper appraisal, it's filled out by none other than Jay Grams... I bought this car so that I could have fun driving a completed car without having to do a load of work on it in order to drive it, it's STILL in the garage until it can be safely driven which might be after I replace the broken exhaust manifold!!!!! All of this can be yours too for only $63K, DO NOT DO IT!! On Volo's "NO WARRANTY" sheet They added a Volo specific page that says: " VOLO INC. (D/B/A VOLO AUTO MUSEUM) (VOLO) HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO THE DISPLAY AND SALE OF MUSCLE, COLLECTOR OR MOVIE VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES ARE SOLD FOR DISPLAY AND OCCASIONAL DRIVING (NEVER TO BE USED FOR DAILY DRIVING). ALL SALES ARE "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS.".

So, they're telling you in their own contract to NOT believe a word that Jay says in any of these videos or on the website's statement of condition of the vehicle. This also means that the "appraisal" that JAY himself creates and charges you $100 for is BOGUS... read more

A 1975 Manta Mirage I posted a negative review on Google a few days ago for this dealer I had stated what had been wrong with the car when I had received It sent them pictures and they basically as typical dealers do turn it around and and said that everything when the car left was perfect, which was a lie look at their reviews track their reviews and you'll see that that's what they do all the time they spin the negative reviews around to make you look bad and stating that you don't know what you're doing. They're Slick car sharks. Do not buy a car from them unless you really researched that car they know how to hide things and they lie about everything. The car I had bought the title came back as a stolen vehicle. I had to get the state police and motor vehicles involved from that state They never helped with the paperwork one bit. I had to deal with it on my own just be aware, bad people. read more

Buyer be ware. Their cars are so overpriced that you will need to keep the vehicle for at least 15 years to appreciate to the level of price you paid. The appraised price they show is slightly higher than their sale price, but don't fall this lie. Many of their cars are not in as great of a condition as they claim. read more

Everyone has their own experience as you can see in the reviews but all of the negative reviews seem to have the same theme for the most part, here is my experience and it was not good. It has been just over a year since i purchased a 51 chevy 3100 from Joey, when discussing this car i stressed to joey we were looking for a Vehicle i did not have to put in the shop right away and start making repairs we wanted something we could jump in and driver 60 miles one way to work couple of times a month on nice days and i was assured this truck was a daily Driver and no issues at all and a solid truck, since i have a limited amount of characters for response so condensed version is we had the truck inspected and found numerous of items needing to be addressed, oil leaks, hood alignment ( pretty critical ) , window motor, brake and brake lights and shifter linkage, this was thanksgiving time 2024 after inspection with joey being out i received conflicting updates from phil , keep in mind i hired and paid for the transport myself seperate from volo as i wanted control of when the truck was being picked up and was going to pay for the truck to be re-inspected. 11/27/2024 a call from the shipper Autobahn that volo cars called them to pick up the truck and Volo did not call me to tell me it was completed they went behind my back to do this i told Autobahn not to pick it up as it still needed to be re-inspected , called joey and no answer so left a voice mail and email, called phil and left voicemail not to put the truck on the transport , alerted joey by email that my inspector has a call into him to re-inspect the truck, several more calls later still no word until i got a call from Dino my contact at autobahn that in deed the truck was picked up and several hours down the road anyway . when we unloaded the truck we noticed no brake lights coming off the trailer , oil on the trailer floor at the pan and all along the frame, when driving it home and hood still was massively miss aligned and shifter issue the only thing they fixed was a window motor, drove that evening drove it to dinner just over a mile again no brakes, and drug the ground twice got home and looked under the truck oil leak was back, oil along the frame from brake fluid and no fluids in the master cylinder sent a email to everyone including the front office how disappointed i was that not only did the major items not get fixed but they went behind my back to get the truck on the transport and that their inspection they do prior to shipping is not worth they paper it is written on since alot of the things on the paper they checked off wokring were in fact no working and that i feel they just pencil whip the delievry check list and i feel they hid the leaks and issues like no brakes prior to my inspection by filling up the master cylinder prior to my inspection why else would i not have fluid just 3 days later and since they did not fix the hood they needed it on the truck to get it out of their hair , when the truck arrived it would not pass texas state inspection, the brake lights were not even connected, brake lines all were hand tight the reason for no brakes and fluid, the air bags were installed incorrectly with wrong bags and locations , bed was held on with 3 bolts, the electrical wiring was a fire hazard the fuse box was just laying in a hidden compartment in the console against the carpet that was fire hazard , the oil leak was not only the pan , but rear main seal and intake manifild and front timing cover so the engine had to come out and ended up finding brass shavings in the valve covers we spent the last year and $ 30,000.00 to be able to get it drivable and just last month got the Truck back and inspected finally , my experience with them , do not believe their inspection they do, get your own inspector, and do not let them tell you they are havinf toruble with doccu sign when you try and get them to remove denying inspeciton on the contract do not use Autbahn their shipper, do not use their inspectors get your own and if you can go see it in person so issues cant be hidden read more

Folks, this business may have a fanciful website, but their customer service is rude and horrible. As one who has been in the customer service industry for 30 years can attest (I am a physician), if a business can't provide something as simple as kind and courteous customer service, then you should not trust the quality or honesty of whatever they are selling. Rudeness from even a lower-level employee reflects the persona of senior management. Too many other truly great classic car dealerships out there to dare spend your $$ here. read more
