In October of 2012 my wife and I decided to trade in our car, which was paid off, for a new one while we still had good trade-in value. While doing research on new cars I came across Bill Jacobs Chevrolet in Plainfield. I was contacted by their internet manager but was a little hesitant because Plainfield is over 30 miles from us and there are of course many dealerships considerably closer. After a little more discussion with the internet person, we decided to go and check it out anyway.
We went in after work and test drove the 2013 Malibu. I was not only impressed with the car and the standard features, but our sales person (Bill) was able to easily answer all of our questions. In the end, everyone from the sales team to the finance team to the Customer service advocate treated us like we were old friends. Even gave us a tour of the building which had been recently remodeled.
Fast forward to this week. We decided with our son home from college and working we really needed to break down and get a second car. It was a no brainer for us to make the drive back out to Bill Jacobs. Once again, it proved to be a great decision. We made it clear we were looking for a second car, nothing fancy, just reliable. Our salesperson (Chester) couldn't have been better. He never tried to up-sell us, instead he understood what we needed. We decided to take the evening to sleep on it and go over our budget. When we said we'd think on it and come back the next day, there was no pressure at all to decide then and there, they understood. we went back the next day and left with a 2013 Sonic.
Once again, everyone was wonderful. The dealership was busy so we literally spent a few hours with Chester just talking, joking around and laughing. You would have thought we'd known each other for years. By the time we left, Chester was more of a friend then a salesperson.
Everyone's situation is different and buying a car can be stressful, but for us, there is no other dealership we'd even consider at this point. I'd give 10 stars if I could. read more
