Derek and his wife are really cool genuine people. I bought a car from them and he was very honest, upfront and helpful. Made me feel as if I was buying from a friend and I appreciated the fact that he was down to earth and friendly. Even encouraged me not to buy the car right away but to take some time to think about it. I was really impressed by that. I bought a Land Rover, which I know have been known to have computer problems. He assured me that he knew the owner and that the car had been taken care of. When I pulled the car fax it confirmed that the car had been only serviced at the Land Rover Dealership. He recommended a company to give me a warranty and had them call me to even set it up. I'm appreciative and would definitely recommend Auto Warehouse to anyone looking for a great used car read more

This place is the place to buy a car! Derek and Gus are the greatest team! They have both been in the car business for a long time and they have figured out a perfect business model, great product and no haggle selling. The cars are great quality and fairly priced. Everything is on the up and up. Don't believe me? Go check them out for yourself. Totally transparent and just nice guys. I had to run down to the bank to get a cashiers check and the bank manager said "are you working with Derek?" She proceeded to sing his praises and said that he had helped her with a car. If you are looking for a car Derek will find it. If you have a car to sell Derek will probably buy it and if you see something on their lot, buy it! I honestly won't buy another used car anywhere else. read more

I recently needed to replace my daughters' car after it was declared a total loss from an accident. Normally, I use CarMax or TruCar's web site to narrow down my selection and find myself in the far western suburbs of Chicago shopping from dealer to dealer. I normally stay away from local non-manufacturer dealers mostly because I'm leery of the quality of the cars but when I looked up CAW they had a 5 star rating on Google so I thought I'd give them a shot since they were within a couple of miles of my home. We arrived outside a fairly non-descript warehouse. We entered a nicely decorated office/lobby area and were met by Alex, Derek's assistant. She was friendly and extremely helpful explaining not only the history of the cars but also the history of Derek's company. We'd seen he had a 2010 Honda Civic (66K miles) in stock that was a perfect replacement for the 2007 Civic we'd just lost. We gave a deposit and applied for financing which Derek was able to secure through a credit union (and received a better rate). When we came in to finalize the paperwork and pick up the car we saw a newer model (2013 w/14K miles). Derek was willing to work with us and make the change for us on the spot. Of course the price increased but the value and deal couldn't be beat! After about 30 minutes of paperwork our daughters drove away with a beautiful newer model car and we were happy with the purchase. If you're looking for a quality used vehicle with fair market value pricing don't hesitate to visit Chicago Auto Warehouse! read more

Until Derek and Chicago Auto Warehouse, I hated the entire car buying experience. I am a huge car fan, but going through the typical dealership experience was always one of the most stressful and frustrating processes. But with Derek, I finally realized how buying a car should have been done all along. You find the right dealer to buy from (CAW/Derek) and then everything goes so much better. I sent an email to Derek at CAW initially telling him that I found him on Yelp and was very impressed by his stellar reviews, which I had never seen before for any car dealer. He called me back and we started talking through what we were looking for. We went to his dealership the following weekend to talk to him and get a sense for how working with him would be. He is such an easy person to work with, he is honest and transparent, and he wants to help make you happy, and will help you figure out what it is that you want. We started thinking we wanted another SUV, but what we ultimately realized after talking with him was that we did not need an SUV. So we started looking at sedans, and once I old him what we were looking for, he was able to pull an amazing deal together for us. He never pressured us or rushed us, he fixed the front bumper on the car for free even with the great price we had already, and we were able to finalize everything once we were ready in 30 minutes. I will be calling Derek for our next car purchase even if we are not in Chicago, as it is more worth it to me to work with people who care and respect you, then finding the best deal. Derek and Alex, you both run an amazing establishment, and you have customers for life in us! read more

Chicago Auto Warehouse - Us and our 2016 Honda Accord - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Just got our second vehicle from Chicago Auto Warehouse; consistency, service and quality vehicles still on point, easy and straightforward process, accesible/reasonable prices, good place to sell or trade in your existing vehicle. Keep the good work Derek Chicago Auto Warehouse we love our new vehicle . Sindy & Chris. read more

Really pleased with my experience with Chicago Auto Warehouse. I was able to remove the hassle and stress of finagling a trade in while also purchasing a new car with a suburban dealer. Derek gave me a fair deal for my beloved BMW, but more importantly, at 9 months pregnant, made the process very easy and efficient. I was looking for a very specific replacement vehicle, but if I was aware of this place sooner, I bet they could have found it for me and I would have happily done both sides of the transaction with them. They have really nice cars on site, and a great business model. Highly recommend whether you are buying or selling a quality vehicle. read more

I can't possibly say enough about this place and my experience. I bought a Tesla from them after shopping the car nationwide for more than a year. I finally found a car that had all the criteria I was looking for. Derek promised me from the outset that he'd make the deal work. He was attentive to every detail, knew his stuff inside and out, and bent over backwards to make the deal work. So the whole "sale" part of the equation went great and without a hitch. But it's what happened AFTER the sale prompted me to give this place five stars (if there were more, I'd give it more!). There was a mechanical issue with my vehicle that I discovered a few days after the sale. I called Derek and explained it to him and he promised me that he was going to do whatever it took to make it right. He stayed in constant communication with me (dozens and dozens of texts and phone calls!) and went above and beyond to help me through the process. Sure enough, he took care of it just like he said he would. As if that wasn't enough, there was a small issue with my plates and registration of the vehicle, and he drove down personally to the DMV to work it out for me. I have to admit, I have always bought my cars from big dealerships and was initially apprehensive about buying from a smaller "boutique" dealership, but I can say this with every ounce of conviction I have: This was the best car-buying experience I've EVER had! Derek is a man of his word and he has my loyalty from this day forward. I would absolutely recommend CAW to anyone who wants to get into a high end vehicle. You'll know what you're getting, and you'll know it's backed up with integrity. read more

Purchased a used bmw here and the whole experience was very smooth. Derek is a great individual and salesman. He was easy to work with and professionally answered even the most novice of questions. The vehicles and facilities were all very well kept and Derek does a great job selecting the vehicles he purchases for sale, you can trust that they will be in great condition. If you see a vehicle you like do not hesitate to give them a ring, I highly recommend chicago auto warehouse and derek. Thanks! read more

A great place to do business! Every one of the vehicles of Chicago Auto Warehouse are stored inside. It is crowded but they will get any vehicle out for you to test drive. What I learned while there is that upon arrival each vehicle is detailed, the oil & oil filter, air and cabin filters are changed. They carry all types of vehicles but are picky about what they offer for sale. I will be back! read more

This is old school customer service at it's best! I can't say enough great things about Derek, and the rest of the staff. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Derek went out of his way to help me with my financing, and I drove out with the car I wanted 2 hours later. I recommend this place to everyone who has admired my new (previously owned) vehicle. I'm glad I did my research, because it brought me here. Everyone was cordial, respectful, and following Covid protocol. Bravo! Also, my Mazda 3 Touring 5 Door Hatchback rocks! read more

My husband and I just purchased an X3 from Chicago Auto Warehouse after we found it through online search. We had a very specific wish list and the car was perfect, and in mint condition. Derek answered all of my questions over the phone and he and Alex were great during our store visit as well. He has a great collection of cars and everything seems well cared for and in great condition. Derek and Alex are clearly car fanatics and their knowledge made the car buying process seamless. I will definitely reconnect with Derek when I'm ready for my next car and highly recommend Chicago Auto Warehouse to all! read more

All in all...AMAZING!!! I've scoured the internet in search of this car for a fair price. I almost gave up, until I came across this beauty and decided to give Chicago Auto Warehouse a call. Right from the start Derek was straight forward, no gimmicks, no sales pitch, just straight honest truth. Not to mention, he insisted to search other dealerships and find something comparable and a better deal. Took his advice and called back the next day, asked him to hold the car and Im flying out to see it. This was this past Wednesday and I bought the car Saturday. Especially, when I live in South Carolina and not seeing the car in person, it's thought to take the plunge. Carfax was great and I called the manufacturer to get a history of the VIN number, all the information was exactly what Derek stated. Great place to buy a car...will definitely come back!!! Thank you CHICAGO AUTO WAREHOUSE!!! read more

These people do not inspect used cars when they get them. They tried to sell me a damaged car under the facade that it was totally fine. Luckily, I brought a mechanic with me who is able to save me from thousands of dollars of repairs I could have missed. read more

I am extremely pleased with Chicago Auto Warehouse. Derek is a straight shooter. I'm delighted. I had looked all around for a new car, and I appreciated Derek out of any of the other dealers I went to. So, I came back, and I put my money here. I'm now driving a super nice car which has been fully serviced with new tires. Thanks, Derek! read more

I sold my almost-14-year-old car to Chicago Auto Warehouse yesterday. I've never had a car this long, and was new to selling a car outright rather than trading it in, but they made the process extremely straightforward, honest, quick, and efficient. 5 Stars!! read more

Derek was so helpful and honest! I love my new Subaru and our mechanics said it is in fantastic condition. I should have gone here first to save myself a lot of aggravation. Also, Derek made the paperwork process easy from start to finish. Finally, his puppy dog is amazing!! read more

I came here to buy a car based on the glowing Yelp reviews, and I'm so glad I did. The entire process was quick, simple, and genuine.

I had recently bought a Subaru with this dealership and they are super nice and helpful with my purchase. Derek and Alex did a wonderful job accommodating with what I needed and what I was looking for. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. read more

I helped my sister buy a car here - she's going through a nasty divorce and needs her own car. I had been looking for cars online through Carfax, and we found Chicago Auto Warehouse through Carfax. Derek the owner was very helpful, kind and not pushy. He helped us work through the purchasing process and overall it was a smooth, easy transaction. I would purchase another car from Derek again in the future. Thanks GAW! read more

I sold my car at Chicago Auto Warehouse. They were very fair and the whole process took less than an hour. Really great customers service!

Really the best people you've met. We had great conversations and they gave me lots of great advice about my car and also the usual selling/buying a car. They're not the typical car salespeople you see out there but really experts on cars who want to work in your best interest. Thank you for making the process of selling my car quick, pain-free, and actually enjoyable. I highly recommend this place :) read more

I was extremely pleased with my experience. Derek was very friendly and professional. He did not try to push the sale or any additional add ons to the sale. I felt very comfortable. I believe to have received a great price on my purchase as well as my trade in. This is not your ordinary used car dealer. read more

Great service, great people, and stress free car buying process. Indoor garage which is great for those cold Chicago days and there is a variety of vehicles. Derek worked with me so that I could trade in my vehicle and drive away in the vehicle of my dreams. There was no pressure of buying and they were helpful in answering my 1million questions. Go see them for a stress free car buying experience! read more

The most stress free and easy going car buying experience I could have asked for! After looking for a new car for several months,, I was over the car buying process completely until meeting with Derek. He was helpful, professional, and straight forward. No mind games and didn't try to nickel and dime me. Has a great car selection!! Will definitely be referring anyone I know interested in buying a vehicle to Derek!!! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I decided to sell my car when I finally realized I've been paying way to much to have a car in Chicago that I simply do not need. Derek gave me a great price for my car and the paperwork process was so painless. Do not waste your time going anywhere else, this should be your first and only stop! read more

Purchased 2 vehicles from Chicago Auto Warehouse and the experience was easy and the deal was great on both! Brad and Derek are very knowledgeable in the auto industry and I'm glad I walked in!!! Thanks again guys!!! read more

Come here, don't think twice. Made selling our car as easy as it gets, and it only took ~30 minutes. And they took such an honest approach. We came in looking to sell our car, and before they said anything about how much they would pay for our car, they talked about the approaches we could take to maximize the value we got for the it (list it on an app/ craigslist). Then they were super transparent about what they would pay for it, the amount of money they would have to put into it to fix it up, and what they could sell it for. And that all checked out against information we had heard/ received from elsewhere. So you definitely get the sense that they are just doing honest business and not taking advantage of you. After we sold them the car, they even called us a lyft home so we wouldn't have to call one ourselves. read more

Dont go here! It's a SCAM! Horrible experience! Can't believe they made me fill out paperwork and checked my credit before I even saw a vehicle! Had cash in hand and money in the bank and was still getting questioned like I'm a criminal. They only will sell you a car if you have no money and they can screw your life up! Thanks for nothing! read more

Great experience at this place. Derek was very helpful & knowledgeable. I purchased my Infiniti G37x from him at a reasonable price. It is a great car & works perfectly for me. Would recommend this place to friends. read more

Especially the sales Manager Derek who sat with me for 5 hours working with my paperwork and calling different connects in different banks to help me get a better interest rate on financing the car I wanted. As far as the product goes, they have top notch cars that are in excellent condition and freshly serviced for a great price.
