After having my car totaled in an accident, I was given an extremely short period of time to find a new one because I was paying for a rental. After using my entire day off work just to be given the run around by two other dealerships (no negetotiations on price, lying about mechanical issues, being treated awfully by overbearing men, etc), I decided to take a drive up and down Cicero to check out the various smaller dealerships. It was pure happenstance that I landed at Celebrity Auto because they had a gorgeous Honda on their lot that I wanted to take a look at. I was immediately greeted by Edwin, who could not have been more kind, respectful, truthful, funny, and just an all around great guy. We were extremely hesitant about the entire car buying experience being two women because we've been taken advantage of before and treated like we were totally uneducated by many other dealers over the years. We had nothing but the entire opposite experience here. Every single person at this dealer was incredibly kind, respectful, and honest. This goes for Tony, Mari, the young lady whose name I just can't recall (but who went over all the paperwork in extreme detail and plain talk), but especially Edwin. We also had my developmentally disabled sister with us. Tony and his young daughter were so sweet to my sister that they even gave her coloring books and crayons and a stuffed animal! Not once did we feel Edwin was giving us the run around, no bait and switch techniques, no "let me see what my manager says." We were honest and upfront with him about our less than stellar credit, and he was completely honest with us on what they could do for us. After trying like crazy to get us a loan, Edwin was again utterly honest in saying there just wasn't anything they could do to help us get a loan. So we walked away, they apologized profusely. Five minutes later, Edwin calls us after we're already gone saying to please give him 20 minutes and they're going to try one more lender. Sure enough, we go back 20 minutes later and they had been able to work out a deal that was way better than we ever thought we could even get with our credit situation. They even lowered the price of the car by $1000 without us ever even asking! The whole time we were in the office, they were out on the lot detailing the heck out of the car, making it even more beautiful. Why I will forever be going back here for any future car purchases is because never in all my car purchasing years have I had such a positive experience. When all was signed and done, Edwin asked me if I could wait just a couple more minutes because the car was low on gas and they wanted to go gas it up for us. They put a half tank in for free, and they certainly did not have to do that. The radio and navigation system was also coded and I couldn't figure out how to use it. One call to Edwin and he walked me thru it over the phone in minutes. Edwin also showed us the Carfax, told us about a couple little issues that did not affect the mechanicals (it is a used car after all), told us about referral incentives, and on and on. He is a genuine, al around good guy. Tony and his daughter were incredible with my sister. Mari is a miracle worker, and the young lady who helped us with finalizing the paperwork was thorough, honest, and wonderfully sweet. I would highly recommend Celebrity Auto to everyone and anyone I know. read more
