After purchasing more than 20 new cars over the years, I can say without hesitation that my experience with Wickstrom Automotive Group was the best car-buying experience I've ever had. What made this experience truly exceptional was the care and professionalism shown not just to me, but to my son as he purchased his first car. The entire team went out of their way to turn the process into an educational, confidence-building experience for him--something I genuinely appreciate as a parent. I want to specifically recognize Eric Jensen, Sales Professional, who was patient, knowledgeable, and generous with his time, walking my son through every step of vehicle selection and the sales process. Chris Moose, CDJR General Manager, exemplified leadership and professionalism, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and transparently. And Colin Wickstrom, Owner, reinforced why this organization operates at such a high level--his involvement, friendliness and commitment to customer experience clearly set the tone for the entire group. From start to finish, there was zero pressure, clear communication, and a refreshing level of honesty that's rare in today's automotive market. Wickstrom Automotive Group treats customers like long-term relationships, not transactions and dare I even say my son and I had a ton of fun throughout this process. If you're looking for a dealership group that sets the gold standard for how car buying should be done--especially for a first-time buyer--I give Wickstrom Automotive Group my strongest recommendation. read more

Terrible service. I had to be wait over 3 f***ing hours for a routine oil change and tire rotation. Up your goddamn customer service

I had a great experience buying my new car from Jon Leicht and the staff at Wickstrom Ford. I work with dealers all the time and this was one of the easiest deals yet. The communications, pricing, and speed in which they put the deal together to get me out the door was the best part. read more

Been coming here for 20 years. Service guys are nice. The salespeople are not pushy or anything. They have comfy chairs and work tables. Nice pop and coffee station. However, they started playing horrid music in the waiting area. So bad I usually wait outside in the summer. If you're a modern country lover than great for you. But not this guy though. Wish they'd put a genre mix on. read more

This is the second car we've purchased through Wickstrom. I have bought many cars in my life and this is by far my favorite dealership. They don't play games with trade ins or the prices on their cars. They are straight to the point, no hassling. No hidden fees as you get closer to the sale. I really appreciate that as a customer. I'm very happy with both our purchases from Wickstrom. read more

I was shopping for a new car and stopped into Wickstrom early on since I had purchased cars from them in the past and had positive experiences with both the sales and service departments. While I didn't end up purchasing a Ford this time around, I highly recommend the dealership based on prior vehicles, and I had a great experience with the associate that I worked with, Michelle Kuizin. She was very helpful during my visit and reached out a few times after to see if I had any questions or needed more information. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Wickstrom in the future. read more

This would be my 2nd time going to Wickstrom Ford in the past 2 months and both times were great experiences because both times a man by the name of Chris Krason helped my family with an incredible deal on a vehicle. I've had bad experiences with other dealerships, but not here. I got an honest answer for every question my wife and I threw at Chris. Very helpful and informative. Thank You! read more

Had a great buying experience with Wickstrom Ford. Scott Dorman was our salesman and he did a wonderful job. Very informative with all the new technology. Gave us a chance to drive the cars we wanted without rushing us. Didn't hold us captive for hours and didn't bother us with too many phone calls and emails. Just kept in touch to make sure we had questions answered. When it was time to go in to buy, Scott, was professional and informative. Took no time at all to get the paperwork signed with Todd, and on our way. read more

I've been looking at cars for 6 months and have been to many dealers. Wickstrom has, hands down, been the most professional, courteous and respectful of any (city and suburb) dealer. The price listed was fair and they worked with the number as advertised. Nick Sjoblom, finance, was very helpful, polite and never pushy. Every single person in that dealership was helpful and polite. A special word for Nathan Noffs, my sales person: thank you for being a true professional who treats his customers well. read more

We have dealt with the Wickstrom Auto group on several occasions and had wonderful experiences. Most recently we worked with Chris Krason at Wickstrom Ford and he was amazing to work with. We knew more or less what we wanted and Chris Krason answered all our questions and was very knowledgable. We didn't feel haggled like you would at some other dealerships. He was extremely professional and easy to deal with. The rest of the Wickstrom Ford team was also amazing and helpful throughout the process. We were in and out of there with a new car and very happy with the quality of service and experience provided by Chris Krason and the team at Wickstrom Ford. read more

We purchased a used F150 from Wickstom Ford and had a great experience. The sales rep Nathan sat with my wife and I and discussed what we were looking for and general financial goals before trying to sell us anything. We went to multiple other dealerships in the area and had a completely opposite experience where they just relentlessly tried to push a brand new truck on us and get us to agree to something we weren't 100% on. Nathan and the rest of the team at Wickstrom were not pushy or trying to force us into anything. They offered some incentives to 'hold' the truck for a week while we thought about it and didn't pressure us into a decision that day. Wickstrom also has a great online tool where you can fill out paperwork ahead of time and play with the financing options at home that saves a ton of time. Overall I highly recommend Wickstrom Ford and will most likely be back for our next car. read more

Always bring my vehicle to Wickstrom for service. Service is great. But, had a bad experience with a young salesman in 2023, so I won't purchase another vehicle from them. read more

My Ford Escape needed a new battery even though it tested okay. Mauricio Ramirez in service was great in helping to get it taken care of. Customer service is top notch. The best thing I appreciated was not feeling like just another customer but on the three occasions we have been at this dealership I was made to feel that we were an important customer even though it was a recall issue and a battery replacement. When new vehicle needed we will be coming to WICKSTROM!! Thanks Again~ read more

We were in the market for a sport utility vehicle and were actually going down the street with a different model in mind. We stopped by Wickstrom Ford to just look at Broncos for comparison. Chris came out to talk with us, answered all of our initial questions, and then took us for a test drive of the vehicle we were looking at. After the test drive he worked with us to test drive one of the non-Ford vehicles we were originally most interested in. After test driving that vehicle for comparison, talking some more with Chris we ended up going with the Ford Bronco. Chris was able to answer all our questions, and worked with us through the purchase process which he made very easy and quick. After speaking with Chris and learning some of his work background we felt we were being treated honestly and we would highly recommend Wickstrom Ford, and working with Chris. read more

Wickstrom Auto Group has been our go-to car dealership for years. They make buying a car so easy, from their friendly/low pressure salespeople, to their staff in the finance department wrapping up the purchasing paperwork. Also, our salesman Jared is amazing! He is so friendly and easy to work with and does anything necessary to make sure we are able to purchase the vehicle we want at the price we can afford. There is a reason we keep returning to him when we need new cars! read more

Do not go here unless you want to be treated unfairly based off the color of your skin! my husband took our Jeep to get an oil change at this location (first time here) we have oil changes on our account from Mopar from the last dealership, we took it to to get an oil change and scratched our paint, so we opted out and going back there and decided to go to Barrington this time, big mistake! right away the man told my husband that we had no oil changes on our account, but we 1000% knew we did because they were just given to us in August, my husband called me because he is a black man, but he is a very soft-spoken, timid, black man, and he does NOT like confrontation, but I will stand up for what's right! right away I knew that they were trying to get over on him, they were trying to make him pay, even telling my husband "just go ahead and pay for it out-of-pocket and get reimbursed by Mopar, Their pockets are large" I was on FaceTime, so I heard it verbatim and I was appalled as for Those were his exact words, I am beyond disgusted by the way my husband and toddler were treated, and I know that they treated them this way based off the color of their skin, he then drove our jeep to the Crystal Lake location and right away, they pulled up our account and miraculously saw the oil changes, literally 10 minutes later!! Shame on those two men "working" in the service department here on Saturday, December 7th around 1PM!!! read more

This is by far the best Ford dealership I have ever gone too. Even though, I was charged ADM (Additional dealer markup) for my Hot Pepper Metallic Ford Bronco Badlands, I was still very satisfied and I understand why Broncos are going for over MSRP right now, especially if you want one right away and don't want to wait. I'd like to give a special shoutout to my salesman Robinson Logue for guiding me through the buying process. He was very comfortable to deal with and helped me learn how to do the soft top. Additional shoutouts to Todd Prestage, Kelsey Vanderleest, and Rob Palazzo for making me feel at home while completing my buying experience. All three of these individuals were very accommodating and helped give me the best possible experience a dealership has to offer. I will definitely be reaching out again if I'm ever in the need for service/parts/a new car. Thanks again Wickstrom Ford of Barrington! read more

What an experience! I'm thrilled with my purchase of a brand new Ford F-150. From the minute that I stepped into Wickstrom Ford, I knew these were the people I wanted to conduct business with. Nathan Noffs was especially helpful. We tested a few different trucks before finally choosing a brand new Ford F-150. He was extremely patient and helped me get the best deal possible. These people are not like typical sleezy car salesmen. I am truly grateful for Nathan and Wickstrom Ford for making this transaction possible. read more

From the moment I walked in I was treated like family instead of a customer. The sales manager Rob Palazzo helped me fit my budget and financing needs without any snags.

Wickstrom Ford - My car has found it's home. - Car Dealers Near Me - Barrington, Illinois

Imbeciles ! Do not go here for service. I took my Explorer there for a recall. After I pulled out of the parking lot the first time I hit the brakes, it pulled violently to the right in the rear. I pulled into their parking lot, tried the brakes again same thing. There was nothing wrong with my vehicle before I came there and now it had a big problem. I argued with the clowns behind the service desk for quite a while until I started raising my voice and getting attention from the other people in the waiting room when they said, OK we'll take a look at it, sir. They claimed there was something wrong with my alignment before I bought it there that was BS. They corrected the problem with it, pulling to the right. But they did not alignment it because my brand new tires wore out within 20,000 miles. Don't go there ! read more

Wickstrom Ford - Car Dealers Near Me - Barrington, Illinois

Bought a new 2021 F150 from Wickstrom Ford. Among other issues I had with this vehicle, both tail lights were collecting moisture a little over a year after I purchased it. Wickstrom went ahead and replaced both tail lights for me. At about 14 month's after they installed new lights they also started collecting moisture. At this point I brought the truck in and met with a service technician. His response- " tail lights are made to collect moisture but if there isn't moisture over 50% in the lenses they will not replace" I felt like this was not accurate but I believed them and went on my way. A few months later my taillight turn signal went out. I brought my truck in for a new windshield and asked them to replace my bulb. Well now they call me and tell me I need an $1.100.00 tail light not including new wiring costs due to the water in the tail light. They refused to work with me on this even though I had 2 sets of taillights on a new truck that I bought from them to collect water. So, either there is a defect with Ford taillights or I got 2 consecutive sets of bad lights. Either way, I should not have to purchase a new set of taillights every 14-18 months for $2200 plus rewiring costs. read more
