Julia was so great to work with! She was sweet and professional. When I didn't understand certain aspects of the paperwork, she patiently explained everything in detail and made adjustments in my benefit. She worked with my budget until we came to an agreement, even though that meant going back to her higher-ups for approval more than a few times. She was knowledgeable about all the cars on the lot and even the engine on the vehicle I chose. I was shocked to hear it was her first week employed there! She could've run that place. A week after purchasing my vehicle, I did have one problem with a wheel bearing and had to have the car towed back to the dealership. Julia stayed with the mechanic for more than TWO HOURS after closing on a Friday night to make sure I was able to get my car the next morning. That's customer service! read more

I have posted multiple complaints about this place! But I want everyone to know this is not a place to buy a car! They are cheats! When I left the place the check engine light came on. I took it back because the diagnostic showed it needed a catalytic converter. They said they changed both but refused to give me a order for what was done. I believe they put something in the gas to turn off the check engine light. After two weeks, it went back on! DO NOT SHOP AT THIS PLACE! read more

I bought a 2018 Chevy Trax last week. The next day, I took it to a reputable service station to do a vehicle check. They found i needed front brakes and right front ball joint. After over $1200.00, new front brakes and front right ball joint. Later that night, check engine light comes on. I took it back to the service station and they ran a diagnostic to see what the codes were. Came up as a catalytic converter issue. They also said that the check engine light was reset just prior to selling to me. I brought this up to Your Choice Auto (General Manager) and he said they did not, and they would not agree to paying for a new converter, if needed. He also said that my service station must have taken the exhaust system off to replace the front ball joint. ?? Wrong. My service station suggested I take it to a dealer for further review, which I did. The dealer did find a pipe leak that needs to be replaced, over $900.00. Once done, I'll have to wait to see if the same code appears again. If so, a new catalytic converter for around $1300.00. The dealer also found an engine oil cooler leak, another $1700.00. I gave a '1 star rating', only because ZERO stars was not available. I would suggest other options when looking for a used car. read more

I had a terrible experience with this dealership and would not recommend them. Came in to buy 2016 Chevy impala LTZ.. This was my first time financing a car, and communication was poor from the start. The salesman "Z" guided me towards incorrect information on my application, causing a denial, and later acted annoyed when I asked questions about warranties. I was only allowed to test drive the car after applying, and immediately noticed noises and shifting issues. Originally they told me they would fix the wheel bearing because the salesman zee said that's where the noise was coming from... However, They brushed off my concerns, claiming it was just the tires and would order new ones... Not even 4 hours after purchase, multiple warning lights came on within hours, and the car became unsafe to drive. The next day My mechanic found over 40 codes, but the sales manager dismissed them and refused to take accountability. Eventually, they admitted they couldn't diagnose the issue and offered a refund, which I accepted. However, they failed to cancel the loan immediately as promised, and the hard credit inquiries remain... They also did not provide Me a ride back home knowing I lived an hour away and had to drive the car back.. I asked if the manager could provide me an Uber home he denied. This dealership showed no accountability, professionalism, empathy or respect.. The professionalism was lacking -- the manager wore an AirPod during our conversation, staff gossiped about my situation, and they refused to help with a ride home after keeping my money and time. This dealership is unprofessional, dismissive, and not trustworthy. I strongly advise avoiding them. read more

Should be called no choice. Muhammad was our sales rep. He handed us a piece of paper and sent us in the lot of 500 cars to find the seven we were interested in. Aren't dealers suppose to walk you to the cars. We just walked around aimlessly like we lost a car or something. Ridiculous!! No wonder they have all these cars here, no one sells them. read more

The process of looking at the vehicle was smooth and easy. The process for purchasing the vehicle was smooth as well. I would be cautious as to actually buying a car from here though. We purchased our vehicle and about 100 or so miles later the check engine light went off. We took it to our mechanic and he told us that it was going to cost us $3,000.00 and it was not covered by the warranty that we THOUGHT for sure would. Our mechanic told us that its easy to reset things in the car so the check engine light will go off for a few hundred miles or so. Of course the dealership tells us that is not the case, but i do highly doubt it myself. The actual purchasing of the car was smooth, I just don't trust them now. I would be wary if you are buying from them. read more

I originally had this review as a 5 star rave review. Do not listen to the good reviews here. They are polite and work with you through every step of the way. Until you drive off the lot and the junk you just bought is all your problem. They ignore you and don't respond. They buy these cars from auctions sometimes not even knowing what's wrong with them. We bought a 2011 town and country and driving it off the lot the check engine came on. Turns out it needed a brand new head gasket. The starter was shot. Alternator and battery were done for. AC doesn't work. All stuff not disclosed when buying. They BEG you to do a 5 star review when you are about to drive off the lot because that's when the good is in you head so don't believe all the reviews here saying they are great because these people did the review like they asked and now are dealing with problems. I reached out to a few and they all have said yes they have issues and your choice auto won't help them. Now we have spent almost 6k to fix the van and it still has issues to fix while still paying 8k more on the loan from them. DONT DO IT. DONT LISTEN TO THE GOOD REVIEWS HERE. ITS ALL A GAME TO THEM! read more

Last year I purchased a 2011 Chevy Equinox, 2CNFLCEC8B6434582. After two days of driving the battery needed to be replaced and the exhaust system fell off the car. I brought the car back to you because I was told the bottom was completely rusted out. You assured me that it was fine and had your mechanics look at it. Fast forward to today, after many repairs, the car was deemed unsafe to drive due to a rusted frame and gas tank. I am now out $10,000+ and a car. Your bad business has put my family in financial hardship. read more

I came to look at a 2015 Jeep Cherokee with Muhammad and he tried to sell me junk. When i pointed out all the issues i was seeing (truck had a smell when you put it in sport, brakes were bad, check engine light came on after i put it in sport and picked up some speed after the man he insisted to ride with me on my test drive only wanted me to circle a block going 25 mph) I told the man nooo i need to see this thing on the highway and i look in the back seat and he starts texting his big tail off to let Muhammad know i am on to him. Not my first rodeo sorry! As soon as we pulled back to the dealership with the check engine light on the employee that rode with us jumped out the truck before the truck even stopped and ran in the building to whisper something to Muhammad and they both chuckled and Muhammad yelled out to me "don't worry we will get that looked at right away, i am sure it just needs a tuneup" Yea okay Muhammad! For a dealership to know i was coming for almost a week now this should have BEEN an easy fix if that was the issue but it was NOT. We left with promises of the truck being fixed tomorrow and suddenly i stopped hearing from Muhammad and he had no other cars he wanted to sell me because they are all junk and he can't play with anybody when it comes to a car. I am a woman but i come from a backround of mechanics and scammers. Lbvvs. Right game wrong woman. I don't suggest doing business with these crooks. Thank GOD i didn't sign anything yet like they were rushing me to do before i even drove the truck. _KRISTIAN read more

Very helpful and understanding!!! Helped me get a car with no problem! I highly recommend getting your vehicle from here!

this company is a scam. be careful when signing documents and ask for full reimbursement if any thing were to happen. get everything in writing as they will try to scam you into signing a car sold as is form and telling you theres nothing they can do about it when something goes wrong with the car. which it will go wrong. they say they inspect all their vehicles but if they did no issues would arise. be careful working with this company and the owner or worker naveed karim. read more

If I could give zero starts I would. Office staff is incompetent. They sell cars that look good on the outside but are falling apart on the inside. AVOID AT ALL COST! read more

We bought a late model Volvo. Ray was very easy to work with and very helpful. He allowed us to test drive around town and on the interstate. When I mentioned we had concerns about a noise when turning, they put the car up on the lift to let us and the mechanic take a look. No issues with the CV joints but did find that the oil filter was not properly seated. Once we got home we took it into our mechanic. The car got a clean bill of health. The power steering fluid was low; the noise went away. We are very pleased with our purchase. Was worried about this dealership but found them to be very straightforward. Allowing me to inspect the car on the lift made me feel much more comfortable. read more

I purchased a 2011 Hyundai Accent from Your Choice Autos (Joliet location) after reading decent reviews on Google Maps (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Your+Choice+Auto+Sales/@41.522286,-88.1205097,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m7!3m6!1s0x0:0x1140a15081f4bc5b!8m2!3d41.522286!4d-88.118321!9m1!1b1) I had high hopes but unfortunately my buying experience left me feeling ripped off. I dealt with a salesman named Robert. He did not disclose several issues of the car before selling it including parasitic battery drain, two completely worn out tires (listed as "good tires" in the ad), and a rattling sound coming from the suspension (which turned out to be a bad front stabilizer bar). I decided to purchase after negotiating a discount because of the worn out tires and rattling sound (I did not know about the parasitic battery drain because they did not disclose it before my purchase, and I found out after leaving the car off overnight the first night). This business gives a two-week window limited warranty on their cars for major malfunctions (not including electric). Aside from the electrical issue, my check engine light came on near the end of this two-week window. I called to check whether I could bring the car in the following week because I had to be out of town. Robert led me to believe it would be no problem to bring the car in for inspection and repair because of my situation. Out of trust, I did not record the conversation but I wish I had. I live in Chicago, so it took me an hour to drive the car to Your Choice Autos in Joliet the following week. When I got there, the friendly and helpful Robert I talked to on the phone was not friendly and helpful anymore. Hey may have delayed my visit on purpose so he could claim that they are not responsible for any issues because the two week limited warranty period had passed. I wasted half my day bringing the car in, and now I am stuck with potentially expensive electrical issue which was intentionally kept secret (the car must have been dead when they went to retrieve it for me on the day of purchase). Furthermore, I lost the opportunity to have my roommate bring the car in while it was on warranty because Robert convinced me that everything would be taken care of if I brought the car in after my trip. I was surprised by this scammy and corrupt experience with this business because of the positive reviews. Being suspect, I later checked reviewfraud.org I found that many of their reviews are in fact fradulent: http://reviewfraud.org/choice-auto-sales-joliet-il/ It's sad that experiences with dealers like these deteriorate trust in used car dealerships in general--some of which are running honest operations. If Robert had been helpful as he promised, I would have felt better about this transaction but I'm left instead wanting to warn any other potential customers of transacting with this business. *BEWARE!* UPDATE 5/31/2018: After leaving my negative review of Your Choice Autos, I was contacted by one of the managers, Naveed, who was much more friendly and offering to provide repairs for the car they sold me. I brought car in and they attempted to fix the electrical issue (which was partly resolved but not completely), and also the fuel inefficiency issue and TPMS light issue. They did all of this free of charge, but asked me to remove the negative review from before, which felt a bit coercive. I am happy with the customer service I received but wish I had received such service before filing my complaint on various review sites. I still own a car of questionable quality now because I was not made aware of its issues until after my purchase. But yes, at least they offered a lot of help with these issues after my initial negative review. read more

If you really care about how you spend your money on a car I hope you consider whether to buy from here. I got a suv which check engine light came on a day after getting it. I'm sure due to my 2 hour drive to home it came on earlier then expected I took it to them multiple times within the warranty still couldn't fix and then told me the engine needs to be replaced due to an oil leakage they say but don't know when it'll be in stock or when I can get the car back so I had to go back and forth til finally getting a different car... now shortly after driving off that check engine light came on ... so I'm irritated about that and that they made me put more money down on even tho it was cheaper then the previous one and I had already put 3k down for that... they literally argued with me about putting money down and they couldn't transfer the 3k... overall if you need something quick to not last a long time then yeah but your looking for honest reliable cars don't come here... they most definitely made me waste a lot of money on top of being rude when I got upset even though I had been patient with them for the past month and half...still unresolved and going through it legally to report them and sue in smalls claims. The picture below is what I sent the dealership on the second car I got whose check engine light came on... just don't get a car from here read more

Your Choice Autos - Check engine light - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

UPDATED three times: Engine was replaced with another salvaged engine from 59 Auto junk yard. This is where they got both of the engines they put in my vehicle. The service manager admitted to me they had already replaced the engine once before I purchased it. The mechanics noticed another problem with passenger front control arm that was exacerbated during the engine work. They offered to repair the control arm and told me the next day when I called that the car was ready for pick up. I arrived 10 minutes before close and drove the car home noticing the steering was not right but the shop was now closed. The next morning as I drove it to the nearest Hyundai dealership the check engine light came on. I an was devastated when they showed me pictures at the dealership of the plastic zip ties holding the frame together, the cracked starter that was broken while installing the scrap engine, epoxy holding together other parts of the cracked cylinder head. The check engine light indicated the engine needed a thermostat and an oxygen sensor. I had it towed back to Your Choice Auto and they reportedly fixed the thermostat and oxygen sensor and reportedly fixed the steering. When I returned to the dealership I test drive the car and the alignment was not fixed. The mechanic and service manager both admitted they do not have a machine to properly complete alignment safely. Naveen refused a full refund of the vehicle. He tried to offer me a trade in for another car. That would have been a good deal IF this was a dealership that sold quality cars. I test drive 3 other cars and a check engine light came on with each one. He would only offer to refund me the money I paid their service shop for the repairs $317. THERE MAY BE A CAR HERE THAT RUNS. BUT BUYER BEWARE. These cars need lots of work. Do not buy a car from here unless you enjoy throwing away your money. 19 Days after purchase my vehicle seemingly has major engine issue. Izzar and Naveed called me the next day to try to solve the issue. They provided me with the repair history prior to sale which included an engine solenoid, crankshaft position sensor, front brakes, struts, and sway bars. I bought the car for a low price. I expected plenty of work as it is an old car but did not expect to purchase an engine that would fail in 19 days. Naveed is replaced the engine. You won't get this kind of consideration and service out of another used car dealership. Will update this again after repair is completed. ALL THIS BELOW WAS BEFORE THE ENGINE ISSUES WITH THE CAR. Ray helped me buy a car in a snowstorm. He treked out in the snow and cleared cars for me to see. He even took me for a test drive, had details on my car and answered my questions. Receptionist was very friendly, looked up cars for me quickly in their inventory and helped me purchase the car I wanted quickly. Thanks also to Ariana and Izhar. Good team, friendly, competitive prices. read more

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! I will not leave a star as the rating for the service I received was deplorable. I drive 2 hours to potentially buy a vehicle that was confirmed via email, text , and phone call. Upon arriving the gentleman who didn't provide or greet with his name advised me that Jessie wasn't in today. This gentleman proceeded to tel me that the vehicle wasn't available and was never available and requested to see "proof" of the conversation or email. I provided him w/ proof also called Jessie with no avail. Who runs a business like this ? The sales associate had no apathy; not once did he try to resolve the issue . But, to the contrary the sales associate let me know that they own several car lots, auctions, etc. at which he tried to up sale a car instead .. sleaze ball move . I walked out w/ no explanation not an " I'm sorry".. this is not how a reputable businesses ran. Do better First Choice Auto Sales. read more
