1/12/2026 quote

BUYER BEWARE! I had an extremely frustrating experience with Star Nissan of Niles and would urge buyers to proceed with extreme caution. I agreed to purchase a 2021 Tesla Model Y at the listed and quoted price of $25,500 before fees ($27,778 after fees). Based on that price, I secured outside financing, arranged funding, obtained cashier's checks, and provided insurance while waiting through a week of delays, during which I was repeatedly told the vehicle was being "detailed" and "serviced." Off site. Communication throughout this process was poor, particularly with a salesperson named Ocean, who failed to clearly explain the vehicle's status. I was left repeatedly chasing updates and timelines with little clarity or follow-through. Once the car finally arrived and paperwork was actively being prepared, I was passed off to another salesperson, Josh, where it only went down hill, Josh raised the price to $27,795.63 before fees ($29,853.89 after fees) well above the originally quoted and advertised pricing (which had since changed to $25,888 online). I was told this increase was because the dealership would "lose money" if they honored the price I was quoted just two days earlier. Mind you, I only had to wait between the quotes because the car was "off site being serviced and detailed" When I questioned this sudden price hike, Josh stated that the listed price supposedly applied only to veterans or military personnel. This condition was never disclosed at any point, and I was never asked whether I qualified. This explanation was introduced only after financing was secured and paperwork was already in motion, making it feel like a retroactive justification rather than a legitimate policy. When I stated that I was prepared to proceed only at the originally agreed-upon price, Star Nissan refused to move forward with the sale. Bait-and-switch pricing, undisclosed conditions, and a complete lack of professional communication are a few ways to sum up Star Nissan. A reputable dealership honors its advertised pricing or clearly discloses all conditions upfront. Star Nissan did neither. I ultimately purchased a similar vehicle elsewhere through a transparent, no-haggle process at a lower cost, which only highlighted how unnecessary and avoidable this experience was. I would not recommend Star Nissan of Niles to anyone.

Transmission held together with a ZIP Tie from Manufacturer

Hi, Funny Story. I bought a Nissan Versa from here in 2006 but it was a 2007 model. I drove it until recently with no problem. Finally, transmission went out. I was told those new transmission are horrible. The Transmission place showed me that the manufactured of the care placed a zip tie to hold the chain in place for the transmission. Wow, I was shocked about how unprofessional that was and wondered did it cause my transmission problems. See Pic for evidence. The other thing is I would stay away from their service department. I had an exhaust issue where they wanted to charge $1200.00 to fix. My local mechanic fixed it for $90.

Fake News !

If I could leave zero stars I would. When I moved to the area 20+ years ago this is where I purchased my first truck. The sales team and associates were amazing, helpful, always available. They worked for the customer, if there was an issue they would say come right in and we'll take care of the problems. I never felt I was being taken advantage of. In the last few years, I understand management has changed, standards and policies have changed like every business. However today was the final straw. We purchased out 2022 brand new fully loaded Pathfinder from another dealer. The truck has 7 miles on it. We've had the truck for 21 months give or take. This morning we made an appointment at Star because we did not feel like going to where we purchased it. BIG MISTAKE! The truck was dropped off at 9:20, before they even looked at the truck - the associate stated well you need your break line flushed - IT'S DUE That will be $189.00 - again the truck is 21 months old and has 14k miles on it. I stated it's not due, please just do the oil change and tire rotation. About an hour later we get a call from the associate, he sounded as if he was in a panic! He stated, your break line needs to be drained and also your back break pads are down to 4mm and they need to be replaced NOW! So I replied don't touch the break pads, I inquired wait shouldn't the front ones be worse they "normally are the ones to go first" he's said "well you must ride the breaks" I said "No", (again very panic voice) "Well you must do a lot of stop and go" I said "Ummm No" Well then you must be a go and ride the breaks hard" I said again "NO" ( Please keep in mind I've been driving for about 25 years and never was told I was a hard driver or ever had break issues ) I again stated " Do not touch the breaks or anything to due with them, When we went to pick up the truck, He started again I asked can I have my keys I will bring it to the dealer I purchased it from because obviously there is another issue going on if the back breaks are going so soon and so quickly. He stuttered like a fool... This place is SHADY AF! Do not buy a car here they will try to rip you off, they Will nickel and dime everything and try to sell you things that you don't need. The management sucks here they don't do anything - I'll get a generic response please reach out to the manger! No I'm not interested THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST - Shady 70's car salesmen - I'd not be surprised if this is breaks from another truck! Buyer Beware !!!!!!

Dear Nissan North America and Star Nissan, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue I have been facing with my Newly Purchased 2023 Nissan Rogue, which I purchased on January 30, 2023, from Star Nissan. The vehicle has been experiencing persistent engine malfunctions and CVT transmission issues, and despite multiple visits to various Nissan dealerships, the problem remains unresolved. The vehicle has been to multiple dealerships, and it seems that neither the dealerships nor Nissan Consumer Affairs have a definitive solution. The issues I am experiencing include, but not limited to CVT Malfunction, Engine Malfunction, the vehicle reducing its power and will go barely past 10mph. In addition, it started smelling awful the second time around. One time, my husband noticed on the security camera the headlight was also flickering. These issues have persisted even after multiple visits to different Nissan dealerships, where various diagnostic tests have been conducted. Unfortunately, none of these attempts have resulted in a successful resolution. I must express my disappointment and frustration with the lack of a satisfactory response from Nissan consumer affairs, dealerships and the Nissan service teams I have dealt with. This raises concerns about the overall reliability and quality of the vehicles, especially since this is a new vehicle. I understand that issues may arise with any complex machinery, and I firmly believe that Nissan is committed to customer satisfaction. This vehicle NEEDS to be repurchased back to this dealership, to NISSAN for its ongoing defectiveness, unreliability, and questioning our safety especially with my young children. I kindly request that action is taken as I can't be living with and paying for a defective vehicle with this engine malfunction and CVT transmission issues that are ongoing in my New 2023 Nissan Rogue. In light of the persistent problems and the fact that the vehicle is under warranty, I kindly request that you arrange for the vehicle to be taken back to the manufacturer. I have attached photos and a video of this situation. I have been to multiple dealerships as insisted by Nissan Consumer Affairs. I urge you to treat this matter with utmost priority and urgency, as the safety, reliability, and satisfaction of Nissan customers should be of paramount importance. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a positive resolution as no one should be allocating costs to something that is defective and dangerous, especially being stuck in the middle of an intersection. I am hopeful that Nissan will demonstrate its commitment to customer satisfaction and address this issue promptly and satisfactorily. Update: This happened a 4th time on Thursday June 8th. Lemon Law, this car NEEDS to be taken back to Nissan. Nissan consumer affairs said it needed to go to a different dealership each time. It MUST be taken back. I got stuck again with my 3 month old.

See all

Those recommendations were made before the car was even looked at.

A polite customer service rep to be sure, but was a bit on the pushy side. I already was fine paying for 300 dollars worth of work. Richard, who has since retired, never, ever pushed for unneeded maintenance. I do still trust this place, they get the job done at a reasonable price.

Brought my 4Runner in for an oil change- they proceeded to pitch their "necessary services". I agreed to a tire rotation and I left once they returned the vehicle to me. Living 10 minutes from the store, there was no reason to exceed 40mph. Well! Took it on the highway and was scared to death once I hit 50mph. My steering wheel felt like it was going to fly off in my lap. I pulled over immediately and called my husband. He suggested I call the Service center back. I called them to explain my vehicle is now unsafe to drive after their tire rotation... even worse, we have a 6-hour drive tomorrow for a funeral service. They advised we bring it back in. Even though I'm scared to drive it. Eventually my husband had to meet me on the side of the highway to bring them the truck again! Not only did they not fix the problem, they unwound the tire rotation and kept our money. Zero accountability for anything and said because they performed the service we would not be refunded. Except they allowed me to drive an unsafe vehicle after it never had any issues prior to the arrival. It was our first visit there!!! Terrible. Both my husband and myself drove carefree before this service visit. Unbelievable to not even offer to compensate our time, our safety, or simply fix whatever we paid for originally- a tire rotation that THEY recommended, that THEY do daily. We asked to speak with the Service Director and or General Manager and nobody was available. Poor quality of service and total lack of care from the staff.

After being offered a great price on a Honda CRV (by the Pre-Owned Manager Johnny Dakic) that we were sold on and intended to purchase, the car (after sitting on the lot for 2+ weeks ) IRONICALLY was sold the day we showed up to finally complete the paperwork. Granted, we had not put a down payment or a deposit down, so to be fair we had not officially "saved" it and 2 weeks had passed since we were last at the dealership. However, I had personally spoke to Basil Mirou, Sales Manager quite a few times in those 2 weeks asking about the car (that was still on the lot) and the logistics surrounding our situation in those 2 weeks. I left several messages for Johnny as well letting them know we are coming to buy the car and to call me back.. no call back to date) Even AFTER they "sold" the car, he claimed more would arrive and tried to sell us a different color, claiming now it was more $$ because it was "premier" color and highly sought after. If I didn't call back to ask if any new cars came in, I would have never received a call back. I even flat out asked Basil on his PERSONAL cell phone if he even wants my business! Because I can easily go elsewhere! TO DATE.. Basil was to call me back with new inventory he was checking on (a week ago) and have yet to receive a call back! Do NOT entertain this dealership at all! Not worth the time or frustration... Instead went to Valley Honda in Aurora and had the best experience!

I'm so happy we ended up at Northwest Auto. Working with Ray was a fantastic experience. First of all, there was NEVER any hard sell. I had one car I was interested in seeing. He brought me straight to that car, allowed a test drive to my home so I could show the family, and when I returned, all he asked was what I thought of the car. When I said I had heard a couple little sounds in the car, he told me to take the car to a mechanic I trust (they have a shop on site). When I brought the car to my mechanic, they found a couple things that would be a concern, but otherwise the car was great and very clean. I brought those concerns back to Ray, and before we even talked price and trade-in, he offered to fix everything that worried me, including replacing shocks (both of them) instead of a simple fix. I was given a VERY fair price for my trade in and it made the entire experience worthwhile. This is a neighborhood business first, and a used car lot second. Ray really took pride in his job and was obviously more interested in the well-being of my family than the sale of the car. I cannot recommend them enough. We will definitely be back if we ever need another used car.

I went here today to try and find information on the code for the navigation system in my car. I called and they said to look in the manual for the code so I poured through the Navigation manual & the owner manual trying to find the 4 digit code unable to find it I made a trip to the service dept hoping that they could show me where the information was in the manual. When I walked in the guy sitting at the desk was doing nothing. I asked him if he knew where the information was. While he was flipping pages he asked me if I bought the car there. When I told him NO I didn't he seemed to lose any interest or desire to even assist me. The only other time I used Castle Honda they did a half assed job on a repair for my car that needed work to fix it about a 1 1/2 weeks later. I was in Hyde Park at the time when my car alternator & battery died. I had to have my car towed into the Honda Dealer Downtown on 1111 N Clark Street leave the car & take an Uber home. The only reason I came here is because it's the closest Honda Dealer to my house. NEVER AGAIN

I purchased a certified pre owned Acura MDX Type S with less than 7k miles on 7/25. I was lowballed on my trade. My trade had low miles and looked new still. Had one small dent on the hood, they tried to say that was the reason they gave me thousands less. They put that car on their lot, didn't repair it! That's not the worst part. The day I took delivery, I pointed out interior pieces that were damaged, the car was filthy as well. Stained seats, carpet showed stains from snow, window were filthy. Miguel my salesman did his best to clean it but, it still wasn't good. I purchased a 70k vehicle, why wasn't it cleaned properly. Two days after having the vehicle I noticed a roaring noise from the brakes. Day after that my infotainment system started to freeze, go dark, not function and wouldn't connect to my phone. I went to the dealership and spoke with Sergio the finance manager who assured me all my concerns would be addressed. He called the service manager, they had me make an appointment to drop my car off, this was on Wednesday 7/29. On Friday 7/31 I dropped off my vehicle and was given a loaner. Was also an MDX so I was okay with that. Jason told me they'd be in contact. A few days went by and I heard nothing, so I attempted to call Jason. I left a voicemail, never got a call back. I called the next day, a young lady took a message and said she give it to Jason, no call back. I called again after work, finally got Jason. Told me the technician could not figure out what was wrong with my infotainment system, he had also called Acura support. Jason told me he'd call me the next day, which was Thursday or Friday with an update. He never called. On Saturday I called the finance manager, asked can he get me an update on my vehicle. He texted me back. Didn't even call me, to say Jason said he tried to call you twice. I said I never received a call from anyone at McGrath. Finance manager never text back after. I finally got a text from Jason saying their phone was acting up. He said they were going to replace my infotainment system. Still needed to do the other repairs and after have my car detailed. All of that took a week. Yesterday, Friday 8/14 I received a text my vehicle was ready. I was excited. My car spent more time at the dealership than in my possession and it's almost time to make my first payment. I get there and was told the brakes were not done. Jason told me via text that the technician found corrosion on the rotors but, they wouldn't replace them. For me to monitor them and if they get worse, bring my car back. Bring my car back after it sat here for two weeks? At this point I just wanted my car and wanted to get out of there. I open the door and my excitement turned to confusion. The car was never detailed as promised. The interior looked exactly the same as when I dropped it off on 7/31! I called Jason over and asked why wasn't the detail done. You told me it would be done after the technician completed the work so it wouldn't get dirty. His reply, our detail guys gave it a courtesy cleaning! WHAT!!! that is not what was promised. He said, let me talk to the manager. Came back and said, well they said the car was detailed prior to delivery. I showed him everything again and asked does this car look like it was detailed to you? He replied, I can only do what they tell me. You can talk to the managers. I just shook my head, got into my vehicle and drove away. I have owned a couple Acura's prior that I purchased and had serviced at McGrath Acura Westmont, my cwr buying experiences were great and the service was excellent, every time. I went to McGrath Morton Grove because it was near my job. and I figured same name should be the same level of service, I was so wrong. What should have been happiness and excitement over my new vehicle, turned quickly into the worst experience I have ever had. Only reason I gave two stars is because Miguel my salesman tried to make my experience the best that he could. Should have followed my first mind and went to McGrath Westmont.
