Professional time wasters, came in early February accompanied by my partner. I was told I was "pre-approved" by Ray but due to me recently getting a new job to SOLIDIFY the deal I was told to verbatim "Come back with a full checkstub and you're good, you're already pre-approved." this was after suggesting a co-sign from my partner, fast forward I supply the checkstub and do the application and no decision just them looking for MORE income and once again trying to get a co-signer. I would only come here if you have decent credit and don't mind working with people that half ass their job and doesn't try to work with you. read more

There are no words to describe my dissatisfaction with this company. I purchased a truck, the tire was rotten. I bought a new one and they did not reimbu me. The next week, the compressor went out, the fuel inlet light is on as well as the engine light! This is the worst sale ever and I'm so ticked right now!!!! All I asked for was a reliable used vehicle so I can woek and care for my disabled mother and this is what I get! I'm calling a Lawyer and then maybe I can get some support instead of sending me to their crooked mechanics. I pay on time and thus is how I'm treated! Spread the word on this jacked up company!!!!!! Do not buy from here ever!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could say what I wanted!!!!! read more

I bought a car from here less than a year ago and had to go to emission testing and found my OB2 was missing. The emission tester instructed me to go back to the lot and have it reinstalled, Upon arriving on Tuesday January 16. 2024 I was told by someone pretending to be the manager that they was not fixing it. I explained to him that I had experience working at a dealership and that was a safety issue, he proceeded to tell me that the the part was not necessary because it was smog only. That's how i knew he didn't know what he was talking about, that's the most important part. This the only way to get codes and find out what's wrong. Long story short I went to the Secretary of State and they referred me to the secretary of state police because they handle shady car lots. I filed a complaint and they helped with emissions and said never buy a car off Western. read more

I went to CarMax in oak lawn and got an amazing car with NO co-signer... a MUCH lower interest rate- and great warranties. Do NOT waste your time. Fill out the prequalification on CarMax website- if it says you're approved that means you're ACTUALLY approved! read more

DO NOT BELIEVE THOSE OLD REVIEWS AND GO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF. I saw all these old bad reviews but still decided to try and see for myself. Turns out the reviews were old and wrong. This is a grreat place to buy a car especially if you have bad credit like me. they give you an opportunity and sell you a low mile car at a good price and newer model not some old car with lots of miles on it. The service was fast and easy. And i got an instant approval and took the car home the same day with $300 down. read more

Car Credit Center is a great place to buy a quality used vehicle. The vehicles are clean, in great condition, and have relatively low mileage. I purchased a vehicle here for my significant other as an anniversary gift and worked with Tony who was very patient. He helped me find the perfect car to fit my budget despite my initial reluctance. I probably took up about 2 hours of his time but he stuck with me, answered all of my questions, and helped me to feel confident about my purchase. I highly recommend you work with him. His cubicle is immediately to the left of the front entrance. As you read other reviews please take into consideration that the sales people as well as the loan specialists are very transparent about the terms of each sale. It was made very clear to me by Tony as well as Zuri, who helped me with the loan docs, that any late payments would result in the car being disabled by the lender. There is even a document that I signed to acknowledge that I understood this. This is a business, and they deserve to be paid for their products and services, so it really is a shame that people drag them on here and give low ratings not because they had a bad experience or faulty vehicle, but because there were consequences for failure to meet the terms of the sales agreement. I say give them a chance! read more

please do not buy a car here! we didn't make it off the lot more than 23 minutes before the engine started smoking! they sold us a car with a broken catalytic converter for $14995! how is that legal??? be smart and buy a car from somewhere else or else you will get ripped off read more

Great place to deal with I worked with Mr. Green and he was wonderful as everything went smoothly and I drove out with a beautiful vehicle. He even dealt with my screaming kids. From helping me find the right car to getting me financed with not the best credit. I would definitely recommend this dealership to all my friends. read more

I am rewriting this review again since my last one was deleted, but I have been doing some reviews of this and seen in other reviews online as them being overpriced and not forthright in explaining things when it comes to the vehicles that they sell. I have also seen cars there that were several thousands less and even more they seem to get them as trade ins from people who want a car that costs less. I live near this location and pass by it all the time. They seem very good at putting the most upscale car on the commercial, but having a look in person it's not what its cracked up to be because some of the cars don't look all that great and some of them even have high mileage on them which can put them as a high financial risk because you will at some point will have to spend money keeping it fixed up. Not to mention you don't know the full history of a car. For example if you were at a major dealership they at least will provide you a detailed history of that car(s) through carfax or Vehix.com. I found some other reviews on Yahoo not too long ago and a couple of them were not exactly pleasant, and the sad thing is that they're marked high with an A+ with the BBB and the only problem is that their website is crap because they're supposed to have a list of their available cars and when you go and click on the link you get an error message. This is anyone's guess as to how reliable the information is and how much they invest in a reputable website.I emailed them for some information about a car I just happened to see on their commercial and got NO response which also says a lot for how they treat potential customers. If I was going to do business with a place I would expect them to at least respond to a customer inquiry. I have passed by this place for years and seen the cars they have which some of them are not worth the money if they're priced higher than the car's real bluebook value for that year. My advice to anyone looking for a car don't go to Car Credit Center's website it's crap and you won't get a response and don't waste your time since many places along Western Avenue tend to have shady dealerships that are waiting to sell you a worthless lemon with problems. I was not interested in being sweet talked by some slick salesman, I was there to look at possibly buying a car and a friend happened to be with me when she was looking and wasnt impressed with the sales tactic so we left and went to the dealership next door where she got her car from. Shop around and research before you put the signature or any money down on a car. Always check first hand about credit and financing so you don't get locked into a contract you can't get out of since places like these live for them. Having owned a car it's amazing how slick salespeople like to take advantage of women because of their "lack" of knowledge and experience in buying things like cars. To all the newbies getting their first car read everyting in your agreements and ask a lot of questions because car dealerships don't want problems for selling a lemon. Check all reviews whether it's here on Yelp or elsewhere because it's the difference between paying a high note than getting your money's worth on a reliable car. read more

**No Stars** After them getting me in after numerous phone calls saying I am pre approved I finally went in thinking I was gona take a car home. Wrong! Instead they harassed me to call someone to be a co signer.... So I left without a car... Went right to JD Byrider and drove a car home 5 hrs later... read more

These people are scum! They sold me a Chevy Malibu for 24k and the blue book value for this 04 car was under 3k!!! I was Naïve to the purchasing of cars so I didn't know any better. Within that year I had to get an emissions test and it would t pass, I couldn't afford the repairs so I had to return the car. I went to CAR MAX and was approved with a warranty on my vehicle. DO NOT GO HERE!! Hello Joann, I wouldn't make this up. The car was sold for 24k but was worth 3k this was not my finding but the finance company's finding who had to sale the car at auction. You all sold me a car that was crap if anyone is reading this review and would like the proof I have it. Please please try other dealers because the APR at this company is awful! Pay attention to their APR when you go in before signing the papers! read more

And one more time.... Again, I have had to go to "the bank" as stated in my contract, which is not a bank at all but a bond company, who will cut your car off at given time apparently, because THEY dont know how to read a pay check stub. I get paid 2x a month not every other week. I am so done with this car, this company, "the bank"! Please dont use them!! My tip is.....don't waste your time or money. They tell you one thing and do another. The "finance" company is THEM just with a different name and location and they have no problem cutting your car off without notice! Then they send you messages saying your payment is late and you have no insurance but then no one answers the phone. Go ANYWHERE BUT HERE! Save yourself the heart ache of finding "your" car because they will rip you off!! read more

Overall great experience! But this is a place I went to because I have awful credit and am rebuilding my credit so I am paying way way over what I should be paying for a car. But this will help me build my credit. If your in a situation where other dealerships won't approve you, this is a great place to go. They say you will need only $500 for a deposit but I ended up paying $1500 so plan for that. And the deal is this type of place is if you don't make your payments on time they turn your car off until you make your payment, so it's a good motivation to pay on time and not get behind but a bit scary to just have your car turned off if your are a day late- only going by other reviews if your a day late. read more

I'be been paying my car note on time every two weeks for two yrs.. During this horrific Pandemic . I wasn't able to pay my note on time due to check not posting into my account on that day. (It was a day late)A representative from CCC turned my car off.. I called explained the situation asked if I could pay it the following day.. She replied No she need the payment . Now here I am a nurse at a hospital fighting a virus that has killed millions and and counting.. A FRONT LINE worker , working sometimes 19 hours a day without hazard pay or staff to help save lives and CCC turns my car off for $215.00 and a day late Great way to show appreciation to an Essential worker during an uncertain time. Why is a car dealer ship open anyways.. Never knew a car dealership was an Essential need‍ read more

I should have stuck with Car Credit Center The bus driver opened the door and I stepped directly on to the North lot of Car Credit Center Where I was warmly greeted by a smile and a handshake from Mike Alba. Mike asked if I had a car in mind which I did to a certain degree but was willing to look outside of that at anything besides a Chinese or Japanese import. I walked the lot a short distance and didn't see much while Mike stated we have cars on the other side but let's go in and see what we can get you financed for. I wasn't really expecting miracles as I have only been on my job 6 months and my credit score though it was not the worst; certainly wasn't the best (620) We walked in an went through the usual preliminaries of providing personal and verifying job information after which I was introduced to Oscar Rodriguez who took me out to walk the other end of the lot. Most of the cars that really appealed to me were not for sale as" they had no title for them" I was allowed to test drive SEVERAL cars before narrowing down my choice to 3 two of which were cars I was adamantly against. A Hyundai Sonata, a Kia Sorento and a Ford Fusion. I finally settled on the Hyundai because it was the prettiest...hey I'm still a girl at heart. Anyway the car was very nice: dual climate control, leather seats, power everything and a decent sound system. It drove very well. It was a quiet, comfortable ride with know visible physical or internal damage. Of course now was the moment of truth; the financing..Danny was a very cheerful person who apparently enjoyed his job. He explained to me just what I said in the beginning: my credit was far from being the worst he'd seen but it wasn't the best however Danny worked the price down (a little) and also adjusted the finance rate down to 15% to which I relunctanly agreed since I was tired of riding the bus. Unfortunately, shortly after signing I changed my mind afterall I'd came in on the bus I could just go back on the bus because I just don't fell comfortable with that rate and especially not with a brand of car that I was adamantly against. Danny calmy: said I understand and tore up the contract. However, two days later I went to another dealership on Western and was given a much higher rate with no sympathy at all. However, thinking back Danny explained how Car Credit Center has been in the business for many many years and now I understand why. The aren't really selling cars they are selling credit which in actuality is harder to get than a car. I recommend (if you don't want a co-signet) and you don't have great credit or a friend in the business to go ahead and Use Car Credit Center. Danny was the absolute most straight forward of them all which might be because He has less to lose since his income isn't based on how much the car sells for nor whether you buy or not. At any rate I should have stayed with CCC. read more

Bought a vehicle with Car Credit Center twice! Never had any issues with my payments or vehicle itself. Totally recommend it!!!!

Overall, a decent experience. The internet employee who initially assisted us said we did not need any information besides our license and paystubs, but upon arrival the salesperson informed us that the internet people did not know what they were talking about. Test drove two cars, salespeople were friendly enough, waited 30 minutes for finance to assist us. No real problems, standard process. read more

Worst place to buy a car! Don't do it! The staff are rude and unprofessional and once you buy a car from them they forget all the standards of continuing to provide good service! They laugh at people once they leave and in front of a new customer. It's sad And awkward I wish I would of know before buying a car here! Webb Chevy on Oakland go there! Stay away from this Car-credit center not worth supporting this place on the way they handle business and management. read more

I was interested in a vehicle was talking to Sarah for the last 2 days. She told me the vehicle was available and in the Melrose Park location. I drove 2 hours to see the vehicle and 1 it was sold when i had just talked to her 15 minutes before hand and 2 was not even in the Melrose Park location. If this is their tactic of getting people into the business its horrible business practice. read more

Just came in to look at vehicles and walked out with a 2010 Lincoln MKZ still in great condition, they work with almost everybody and are friendly, Ray and Isai are great people when it comes to purchasing a vehicle here, I'm glad I came here and will most certainly refer friends and family read more

I'm so lucky to have found this place. I needed a car right away and I had bad credit and these guys were able to get me in my truck in no time! I recommend them! read more

I read a lot of reviews before coming here. But you have to read between the lines. Of course if you buy a 10 year old car used car and don't maintain it, it's going to break down. Buying my car was quick and easy. I was approved and on the road in two house. My sales person was Phil Green. He made things very easy. I did leave the lot in a 2016 Maxima. I drove fine during the test drive but something didn't feel right when I was driving later on that night. I called Phil right away. They offered to fix the car or put me in any other car on the lot. I went back and picked out a 2016 Altima. There was a few things I asked them to repair, which they paid for. Felix, the finance guy was funny and helpful. He suggested ways to improve my credit while I was signing all the paperwork. I had a great experience here so far. I'll right a different review if anything changes, but so far I'm more than satisfied. read more

This place is AMAZING. I was here no more than an hour and a half. The salesman was great, patient because I was a bit indecisive. My finance guy was great, a Chicago Fan to the heart!

When I bought the car by the second month the car started giving me problems!

I have paid almost a total of 10 thousand dollars just to get it fixed! Unfortunately I was not able to cancel my contract with them because I did not want to ruin my credit!! But you are on time to not buy a car from them! read more

Do yourself a favor my friend, STAY AWAY FROM THIS CREEPY RIPOFF JOINT and saved yourself some real bad times. This place is nothing but lies & deceits, if you do get a car, it'll probably brake down on you before you get it home the 1st day. This is what happenned to me; After seeing the super dooper friendly commercial adds on t.v. that they have, where they say; " Don't worry if you have bad credit, co credit, have filed for bankruptcy or even facing foreclosure, you'll leave driving here". Well, I called and spoked to a real nice salesman , " Jim" who told me to ; "Come and get your car ", after I spend almost an hour telling him my finnancial and life situation, that I had filed for bankruptcy, was figthing foreclosure, and that I neede a car desperatly, because I live 40 miles from where I work, and the only way to get there is by car. So after "Jim" re assured me I would have a car that day, My wife and me left Bolingbrook, to Joliet, where we took the Mertra train to Downtown Chicago, then I pay $30 for a ride to this creepy place. Everything was going smooth as silk, "Jim" couldn't had been nicer, then he said; " Now you have to go see the boss, the owner, he's the one that makes the decicion". We were lucky we were allowed to sit down in his this creepy guy's office, because he looked like a cross between the original silent film movies DRACULA and Scrooge, and the minute we sat down, he started lecturing me. " No way I'm gonna approve you.....bla,bla,bla". We made it home that nigth by the grace of God. The following day I went into the web, to see the reviews this place has, and you can try it too, I ended up considering myself lucky I had gotten turned down, I saw hundreds of horror stories about this place, my own sister in law had told my wife: " You're going to the worse used car dealer, if they do give you a car, you'll regret it in less than 3 days". So folks, one more time, do yourself one hell of a big favor, STAY AWAY FROM THIS CROOKED CREEPY PLACE. THANKS P.s.; THE ONLY REASON I'M GIVING THIS CREEPO PLACE A STAR , IS JUST TO GET MY REVIEW IN, BUT THEY DON'T DESERVE IT read more

NO STARS! Drove almost an hour from the suburbs. What a waste of time! Salesman Mike and the Finance Manager (who changed his title during the conversation to Floor Manager) were very arrogant and condescending. Am I the only one that would rather buy a less expensive car with cash than to take a loan to pay for a car costing more that I wanted to spend? Never going back there. read more
