    "Son unos ladrones , me vendieron un carro en malas condiciones y solo en reparación ha estado en los 10 meses que tengo de haberlo comprado, no me lo quisieron cambiar por otro y ahora que el motor está malo la financiera me da dos opciones, que el dealer lo compre lo cual ellos dicen que en esas condiciones que por cierto así lo vendieron no lo van a comprar y la otra opción es declararme en banca rota para devolver el carro y tampoco me parece ya que llevo al día mis pagos y no quiero el carro no por falta de dinero sino porque no sirve el motor ya que ellos le cambiaron empaques de mala calidad y ahora tiene el motor agua"

The worst place to go to buy a car. This is how it went: 2/11/2015 I look on the web and I wanted to take a look at this 2006 White Audi A4 2.0 T Quattro. 3:40pm I call and speak to Richard , who tells me that i can go for a test drive with the audi. Took me about an hour to get there. 4:40pm I enter the parking lot the one South of w 58th st. before getting to Richard 4 other persons spoke to me. one person told me the audi is sold. one person told me the audi is damaged , electrical all messed up bought from auction. another advised me 'not to buy that one and lets look at other audis'. richard told me that it is fine just that it needs tuneup, others said it does not start. I wanted to see another gray 08 qudi a4. but we looked at one from 2011. and was told that the 08 is sold. I insisted to tell me if the white one can be driven. I was with two persons in the lot. now they took me inside. Here I find this gentleman from Palestine his name David, just like mine. I ask him is the audi in good condition can I drive it.? ( the white 06 A4 ..) And he answered, that is fine. I told him I want to drive it. He asks for DL. makes 2 copies. Sends me outside with this younger guy who meets with Richard. we go at the car. Richard tries to start it, but nothing... it did not start.5pm out. So what advice to give you? This is my experience.

ZERO Do not purchase from this dealer. I had to file a lawsuit after giving then the opportunity to fix the dealership quote. I came from out of state bought the car and the next day service engine is one. Call them Monday they fight me telling me the car is used and hung up the phone. After a battle on the phone they said to bring it back so I did and they would fix it im 3 hrs away they did not fix what was on the dealer quote the did one thing and did it false so when I picked it up almost 4 weeks later they did not do what the dealer quoted and the check engine came on again the next day. The whole ride home my car smelt really bad and in the process ther destroyed my carpet and interior. Call them first thing on Monday to tell me the same thing use ur warrent it's a used car blah blah blah Minded you I went less that 500 miles and was in my 15 buyers guarantee. They did nothing and when they repaired one part the did it faulty. I had these issues as soon as I pulled off the lot with a vehicle over 20k. DO NOT I MEAN TAKE THIS FOR REAL,PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY. There sharks taking advantage of people. Nice on the outside will approve anyone but does not approve the car

  • Abel Renew

Just recently bought a vehicle here. I came here because my family is good friends with the owner. They were really nice people but one thing I found kind of shady was the fact that they gave me an envelope after purchasing and signing for it. And instinctively I started opening it and the old man was like "ooh that's just some more paperwork" . I opened it anyways and seen the rating for the cars condition was below average. This made my stomach turn because I came and bought the vehicle in full price. It wasn't till I drove off the lot that I immediately felt how fragile the car was. Biggest mistake of my life. Just ask for the car fax before anything and test drive it before buying it. I just assumed since they were friends of my family they would have looked out for me.

Son unos ladrones , me vendieron un carro en malas condiciones y solo en reparación ha estado en los 10 meses que tengo de haberlo comprado, no me lo quisieron cambiar por otro y ahora que el motor está malo la financiera me da dos opciones, que el dealer lo compre lo cual ellos dicen que en esas condiciones que por cierto así lo vendieron no lo van a comprar y la otra opción es declararme en banca rota para devolver el carro y tampoco me parece ya que llevo al día mis pagos y no quiero el carro no por falta de dinero sino porque no sirve el motor ya que ellos le cambiaron empaques de mala calidad y ahora tiene el motor agua. Son unos rateros así que por favor pongo este dato para que nadie vuelva a caer en este dealer rata.

  • Mary Lombard

Its been a week since I got my 2012 Golf TDI from S and M Auto in Hickory. The showroom is gorgeous. The entire building is brand new and they really went all out. Everyone there made me feel like family from helping me get a really great deal on financing, to the Dunkin doughnuts offered. Raymond was awesome and I appreciate the time spend helping me. I was in an out for a Saturday morning and beat out two people looking at the same car as me. Thanks again and I will happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a car but doesnt want the dealership hassle.

  • chatterbiggs1

purchased an Audi from them that required nearly $10,000 in repairs 9months later. Moduals that cost $1700 for a little box let alone labor. No longer have the Audi but said hey 3 years later let me try them again since they did shuffle some paperwork to get the Audi deal done. Submitted an application online, these guys do a hard inquiry on my credit and didnt even bother to give me a call. If you wanna buy repos that dealers buy from the auction this is your spot, but have 5 thousand laying around incase you need a luxury transmission.

  • Josh Urban

Would strongly suggest buying elsewhere. Had a truck and drive less that 500 miles on it before I had to get it towed into a Ford dealership. This will be the second time in a month I have had to take it in to Ford. This time the gear shift is stuck in Drive. After Ford looked at it they said this truck might be giving you some problems. Strongly strongly advise to save your money down the road and buy elsewhere. Mind you I was sold this truck in “mint” condition according to two of the employees that work there.

  • Jocelyn Williams

They were great! I love Edith! Got me in & out. My only issue is Joe who does the insurance has too much on his plate & can be a bit pushy. I’ve never known to start a premium and make another payment within 10 days. He insisted it was good for a month but didn’t tell me that I would have to pay an additional $170 the following week. Also, did not put my SR22 onto my insurance. He just moves way too fast, be firm with him. Overall, a decent dealership. They’ll work with and for you!

  • Timothy J. Burda

I read the reviews before coming, and they were right, these guys are shady. When I called to check on a certain vehicle that appeared to be a great deal, they said it was in stock. I printed out a card fax ($49), and I drove 1 hour into the city. When I arrived I gave them the same VIN# I gave them over the phone and they told me it was sold two weeks ago, but they have another one just like it! These guys ARE what you picture when you think of shady used car dealerships...

  • Corey Baker

DO NOT go to the auto sales location i put $7,000 on a vehicle for it to break down 30 minutes later towed it back to S&M auto and they told me they weren’t going to fix it or give me my $7,000 back then on top of that told me to pay for the $2,000 labor fee to get it fixed Jack (owner) told me this to my face, kept trying to call them about to situation but they leave me of hold for 30 minutes at a time no call back or updates

  • brian hollingshead

I contacted frank inquiring about 2017 Lincoln mkc we needed more photos of this vehicle. And frank was very helpful get us pictures in less than 1/2 hour. We went there to test drive it we were impressed with their showroom. Frank, mike and joe are great! We drove from Indiana. Will do business in the future with them a class act they will treat you right in hickory hills.again great people thank you

  • jefferson Mina

A very bad place to buy a vehicle. I went there last year .I went to this dealership on Western The South side of Chicago. cash 10500 A Dodge journey 2014. Try to get my money back .day one since I pulled it off the Car lots... Been putting money into it ever since... A month ago the motor.. Keep your money and go somewhere else..... it is a very very bad place to buy a Is vehicle from!!!!!!!!.....

  • christian perez

is the worst dealer in all of Chicago. I give down payment $ 4000. And they took the car to the door of my house so that in a week they would call me that I did not qualify for the car that they were only going to put a GPS. and after waiting 1 hour they told me that they were not going to give me that car back . to come back so that I could choose another car. and they gave me the one they wanted

  • Janneth Diaz

Do not buy from any of there locations!!! They sold me a bad truck and now the owner won’t answer my calls or isn’t at the office when I go look for him. The check engine turned on that same day I bought the car. Scammers!! No se recomienda comprar aquí. Me vendieron un carro malo y ahora el dueño no me regresa ni las llamadas. El mismo día que compre el carro se le prendió la luz de check engine.

  • abraham moya

I like how every 5 star rating they have here is a fake account which says "google user" First and foremost, almost all their cars are in wrecks and resold on their lot. if theyre not its because the owner likes to drive a decent car for a while and then sells it. no credit or bad credit?they guarantee you driving out of there with a car @ 25%. Save your money and go to a reputable dealer

  • Josh Esposito

DONT BUY ANY CAR FROM HERE! They all have issues they turn off the engine light before you purchase the vehicles, my sister literally bought a car two days ago and the lights on and same thing happend to the 3 cars from here she purchased, they have you buy a car and trade it in for half the value ! This is by far the worst place to buy a car in Chicago , this place is a rip off .

  • Jonathan Pelissier

Beware!!! They sold me a vehicle that broke down the NEXT DAY. Now the car is with a mechanic and need thousands of dollars in repairs just to be able to drive it. Additionally, it's been a hassle just to get them to communicate with me. Go somewhere else and save yourself the headache and money. They don't do good business and I feel bad for those they take advantage of.

  • saleh albarghothy

Beware!!! They sold me a vehicle that doesn't has a muffler , Now the car is with a mechanic and need thousands of dollars in repairs just to be able to drive it. Additionally, it's been a hassle just to get them to communicate with me. Go somewhere else and save yourself the headache and money. They don't do good business and I feel bad for those they take advantage of.

  • Mina Lopez

First off service Is horrible! Felt judged without even talking! Second you tell them what you like or want and they ignore it and give you there "what fits you" limited options! Cars are keyed up, dented or inside smells like mold! They place all the good cars trucks in front witch is eye catching but want you to buy the ugly ones in the back! No thank you!

  • Brianna Cisneros

Don’t bother buying a car here. I bought a car two years ago and the interest rate is ridiculous and I’m over paying for the car by way too much. They’re pushy and rush you out. I can tell that my car had touch up paint done on it and now it’s washing off and I can see the damage of the original paint. Be careful if you’re young they will take advantage.

  • Johnny Savage

Good customer service. I purchased a 2010 dodge challenger with extended warranty over a year ago and the car is awesome! Only MINOR repairs to the vehicle since ive had it.... Auto mechanic work is done on location at the dealership and the mechanics have you IN AND OUT depending on the job.... No long wait time when repairs are done!.. good business!

  • Mariela Garcia

Yes they are very nice but they do not tell you that not all of their cars work. That the cars have been in wrecks and something is always wrong with them. If you buy a car you will have to come back to get it fixed. Its about to be 4 weeks since I put down money for a down payment and they still haven't given back my money when I asked them to.

  • Ali Diab

We got our new Honda CRV here ,great customer service . Mr alex- was very nice and helpful ! Absolutely recommend this dealership , huge car selection , very nice ppl to do business with , we were in and out in less than 2 hours which was great compare to our past experience at another dealership recently . Thank you much guys .

  • Sunday Averehi

I AM OVERWHELMED WITH THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE I ALWAYS RECEIVE AT THIS DEALERSHIP, THEY TREAT ME LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER. I HAVE BEEN BUYING CARS FROM THEM FOR OVER 5 YEARS NOW WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL, I CAN NEVER DEAL WITH ANT OTHER AUTO DEALERSHIP IN ILLINOIS BECAUSE OF MY CONTINOUS POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WITH S & M AUTO DEALERSHIP

  • Jehad Rashid

This is the best place to buy your car. The prices are great and the service is even better. They are very friendly and very helpful. They will help you find a car that works best for you. I have been doing business with them for years and I won't be looking for other places any time soon. Thank you very much for all your help!

  • Anthony Brown

Do not purchase anything from here, they sold my fiance a car with a bad transmission, she paid for extended warranty from them, and when the trans went out they said it wasnt covered. They rigged the lights up until she left once she left all lights went out due to electrical problems , please dont no purchase cars from here.

  • Erik Flin

I called this dealership a few days ago and told them about the car i gave them a deposit over the phone and told them when i will be there and when i arrived there the car was cleaned and detailed ready for me to go home with i was very happy with the price and time.... i recommend any person to buy there next car here

  • Alicia Garcia

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING HERE! I bought my car and the extended warranty. Within the first year I started having problems. To date I have replaced the engine, the alternator, and the catalytic converter costing me close to 10k with absolutely 0 help from this awful place. JUST WALK AWAY AND LOOK ELSEWHERE!

  • The chosen One

S and M auto is the place to go to. I got a good deal on a really nice car runs like new and I'm satisfied. Came to see Sam and he carries himself like a professional and very good customer service skills. If you've been looking around for a good dealership you should stop here at S and M, you won't regret it.

  • Shorty Badd

Purchased a car in the middle of July, long story short it only lasted a month motor went out. Its still under Warranty I might add and they don't want to fix, give me another car, or give be my money back. Paid one note on this car and now this I advise yall don't spend your hard earned money HERE!!!!!!!

  • Ill Will

Please stay away from them. They r a scam artist. I went and got an impala as from them...left da lot without being financed and at da end couldn't get financed and had ta return da car wit little money given back. They lied on y I couldn't get financed so they have 0 credibility. Please DO NOT go to them

  • chris gentile

7 people from this dealership said they were going to call me back and not one return phone call and after dealing with this for a week they run my creadit and my wifes over 5 places and then they sold the truck but i had to find this out by looking on their website, what a great dealership !!!!!!!!!!

  • Yazmin Hendricks

The worst place to EVER buy a car. I brought a 2009 Nissan Altima and I had nothing but problems. They only care about making sales and they put you in a car that breaks down in 1 month. They sell nothing but LEMONS please please please never go there it will be a waste of MONEY!!!! …

  • kevin taylor

Worse dealership on western ave. Trust me I've dealt with at least 5 in a 20 year span. Don't trust these people. The cars are at least 2,000 over what others are asking. Many of there cars are fixed with inferior parts and terrible paint work yet they want top dollar for junk. Buyer beware

  • Jorge Perez

Just want to give a shout out to a awesome sales person name Alfredo. You and Sam was just fantastic with me when I purchased my car. Alfredo, I truly appreciated how you went above and beyond your call of duty to satisfy me. Thanks again. Brenda

  • Frank Rivas

Sold a car with a bad transmission only lasted one week when I went to talk to them about it they pretty much said there's nothing I can do. Very bad experience, now stuck paying for a car that's no good or messing my credit up even more.

  • Mohamed Alsqour

I bought a car after completing the agreement and found that they took away from my car many of the things that were present before the purchase and when I came back to demand the lost things they asked me to pay money for my things

  • Erin Garcia

I am a first time buyer and I was extremely satisfied. They were very nice and gave me an amazing deal with a suprisingly low interest rate. I will definitly consider coming back and reffer everyone to S&M Auto sales.

  • Julius Rush

If I can give them zero stars I would. They are so shady they believe everyone else is actually had the nerve to tell me not 1 but all 3 of my paycheck stub are fake. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

  • Vertina Watts

They have good vehicles, but if it need to be fixed and they are under warranty, you will be waiting. You have to stay on them this is at their location on 57th western. That's why I gave them 3 stars
