My experience with this dealership was extremely disappointing. I did not purchase separate tire and wheel coverage. During the sales process, I was told that a nail in my tire would be covered under the warranty. However, there was never a clear explanation of what the warranty did and did not cover, which led me to reasonably believe this repair would be covered. When I contacted the dealership to ask about the coverage, instead of taking the time to explain it, I was met with resistance and made to feel like I was was wrong for asking questions. When I spoke with Finance Manager Joe Miller, my concerns were never acknowledged or validated. Rather than listening and clearly explaining the situation, the conversation became argumentative and left me feeling talked down to. I have never been made to feel unintelligent simply for asking questions about a contract that was not clearly explained to me. I had also previously been incorrectly charged for an oil change, so I had every reason to seek clarification. What should have been a simple conversation about my warranty coverage turned into an experience that felt dismissive, unprofessional, and lacking in basic customer respect. I ultimately left without having my tire repaired. My advice to future customers is to ask detailed questions about every warranty and service agreement, and get every promise in writing. Don't assume that verbal representations about what is covered will match the actual contract unless those details are clearly explained and documented. During the sales process, the customer service is excellent. Unfortunately, the level of customer service after purchasing a vehicle was a completely different experience.

Come for a car stay for the stalking!

I had 1 bad experience and 1 decent. But the 3rd experience is just crazy. My friend(f) went in to buy a car . They did a great job. And she asked me to cosign for her. No problem. We were outside and they grabbed one of her keys to go put the plates on. Brought it back to her and forgot to give her the key back. She went in yesterday to go get the key and to get a free car wash. So far so good. Then last night, she was laying in bed relaxing and she gets a text out of the blue. Hey! How's it going? This is Tony Soto. I got your number from Kyle. Apparently someone that works at Kia world thinks she's attractive, goes to her salesman to get her number. Apparently no one thinks this is inappropriate or unprofessional, and certainly not creepy as hell. He then proceeds to say that he's has a long day, he is going up to get drinks at Jamesons and asks her what she is up to? Wtf?? She has no idea who this guy is and her salesman gave some dude her number?? How is this even happening. We call the store and the manager was supposed to call back. He didn't. So I'm just gonna assume he doesn't think there is an issue with this either. I did follow up with the manager on the phone. They said this is a personal issue and then hung up. When your salesman uses private business information for personal use, it's ethical issue. Its a ftc privacy rule, its a breach of trust and unethical. I will be filing complaints, with the BBB, the Ftc, attorney general, and the Dmv licensing board.

Car jack bending.  It was too weak to handle the car's weight.  Being held up by the tire half off the cylinder.  Was about to snap.

See all

When I told them I wanted to test drive, they copied my license and gave me a dealer plate. The car ran like a Champ and had a set of new 19" Michelins on it and new front brakes! All the options worked. There was no pressure of any kind. Their website says they don't negotiate prices, which i hadn't seen, so was kind of surprised when it was pointed out to me and they wouldn't negotiate, but still a good value for me all things considered. I bought the car and they transferred title and issued new plates on the spot and installed them. The only disappointment was that their site showed an Autocheck which indicated no accidents and 4 previous owners, but when i ran a Carfax, it showed an accident in 2014 and 5 previous owners, good information, but I still like the car. The mileage was consistent on both reports, which is good. Jason was courteous, professional and handled everything and provided us copies of everything we had signed. Do I recommend them? YES ! Dealers don't know the cars they are selling, checking it out is your responsibility and if you don't like it, don't buy it. Their facility is very nice and they are very accomodating !!

This dealership came highly recommended from a friend who described them as "different than any…read moreother dealership you've ever been to". I was skeptical as there's so many memes out there about "typical" car salesmen. I'm here to tell you that Romeoville Toyota is DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER DEALERSHIP YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO! In the best ways! First of all, the staff is young and they all have good hair;) No older, balding men here with bad jokes. I worked with 4 people total during my car purchase- the first being Ivan who d the differences between the SUVs I was looking at, and was patient when I asked to test drive 2 different ones. He even moved a car from INSIDE the dealership so I could test drive that model (it was the only one they had!). Sam and Kim were my point people for my trade in and finances. They were both friendly, informative and low pressure. That's unheard of in car sales! The final person I worked with was the manager Karl. He weaved in and out during the sales process to check in with me and run searches on possible cars incoming that had the bells and whistles I was looking for. Secondly, the dealership itself was incredibly clean. All the tables, waiting area, bathrooms and even the service garage was pristine! I felt comfortable leaving my car to be inspected with care before trading it in. Lastly, this was a big purchase for me- i recently lost my mom and this was my first big purchase without her. I needed guidance and support picking out the best car for me, and I truly felt that Ivan, Kim, Sal and Karl were on my side. They presented me with options and asked me opinions. I never once felt pressured to purchase or uncomfortable with the lack of information. Thank you Romeoville Toyota- you need to teach all the other car dealerships out there how it's done! Thank you for your expertise and hospitality during this tough purchase.

Nearly two hours later, I asked for an update and was sent from the front desk to the service garage. Despite several employees sitting at their desks, no one acknowledged me or asked if I needed help. Eventually, I was directed to Jim Carver, the service manager. After waiting while he and another employee walked around for several minutes without any communication, I asked, "Do you guys give updates?" Without even stopping his conversation, he shook his head "no" and told another employee to "handle her." I was then informed that they had lost my keys. Losing keys is a mistake that can happen. The complete lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism is what made this experience unacceptable. Being dismissed in front of a room full of employees was humiliating. As the service manager, Jim Carver sets the example for his team, and unfortunately it was not one of respect or customer service. After reading other reviews, I noticed similar complaints about interactions with Jim Carver. I sincerely hope this dealership addresses its leadership and customer service because this experience was far below the standard I've come to expect from Toyota.

At the time of purchase, the Certified Pre-Owned vehicle was missing an accessory part that I was told would be sent to me afterward. That never happened. I also raised a concern at the time of sale about a headlight that was experiencing significant fogging/condensation and was told that the issue would be covered under warranty. When I later attempted to have it addressed, that turned out not to be the case as it had been represented to me. What was most frustrating was the lack of communication and follow-through. I contacted the dealership and left messages on three separate occasions without receiving a response. On my fourth attempt, I finally reached someone who said they would look into both issues. Several weeks later, I still had not received any follow-up or resolution. Based on my experience, D'Arcy Hyundai may be worth considering if you are getting a good deal and driving off the lot with a vehicle that needs absolutely nothing further. However, I would only recommend purchasing here if you have another Hyundai dealership nearby that you are comfortable relying on for future service and warranty matters, and if you are not expecting D'Arcy to follow through on outstanding items once the sale is complete. The purchase itself went smoothly. Unfortunately, the support after the sale did not come close to matching it.

Truthfully, I wasn't even looking to buy a new car. (I had a 2021 Nissan Rogue that I LOVED.). I had received an email from the dealership that had an offer very much worth considering. I had numerous texts and conversations with Zach over the course of a few days. He was professional, friendly and it was more than apparent that he cared about my wants and thoughts as a customer. He would reach out with updates even if he wasn't at the dealership but had an update regarding the potential purchase to share. I appreciated that. He was a sales person of his word which isn't always easy to come by. I will also say that I was equally impressed by Aaron Mazzoni who went over the financials and those documents with me. He explained everything in detail, and was also friendly and professional. I've both numerous cars now from Thomas Nissan and will continue to be a customer of theirs for life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! Review left in 2021 on Google after a new car purchase then as well---I truly can't say enough wonderful things about Thomas Nissan and my salesman, Jorge Nieves. He was EXCELLENT. Jorge did more than just sell me a car. He listened to me. He made sure I knew everything there was to know about my new car. I can't say enough wonderful things about him. Too, days before I purchased the car, I had been texting with him quite a bit about what I had been looking for. He was always quick to reply. I appreciated being able to communicate with him that way as it saved some time at the dealership on the day of my purchase. My husband and I would most certainly buy from Thomas Nissan and Jorge again and plan/hope to be lifelong customers of theirs. (Actually, we bought a second car from this week even.)

The service manager lacks customer service skills and never called us back. We tried to contact the director of parts and service and no returned call.

The next day, I called for an update and was told that a battery cable had come loose, that the warranty would not cover it, and that the repair would cost approximately $400. Because I needed my truck fixed, I authorized the repair and was told it would be ready by 4:00 p.m. When I arrived, they told me the repair was almost finished and asked me to wait 15 minutes. About 20 minutes later, they informed me that the repair had been unsuccessful and that they needed more time to investigate the actual problem. Since I rely on my truck for work, I paid for the oil change and took it elsewhere. I made an appointment with another Chevrolet dealership and dropped off the truck on Friday at 2:00 p.m. They correctly diagnosed the problem, obtained approval from my extended-warranty provider, and had the truck repaired by Saturday at 1:00 p.m. I paid only the $100 warranty deductible. I'm very disappointed with the first dealership's incorrect diagnosis, failed repair attempt, poor communication, and claim that my warranty would not cover the problem. Thankfully, the second dealership handled everything quickly and professionally.
