Ordered a new bronco from them in September of 21. Fast forward 13 months and it finally came in. I was out of town the day I found out the bronco was finally in, the salesman told me theyre getting $10k over msrp on ordered broncos and if I didnt accept that, they would sell it to someone else. After convincing the manager to hold my order until I got back in town, I went in to discuss my options. They somehow brought my sticker price of $42,065 up to $60k out the door. Then spent almost 2 hours getting lied to about how ev... read more

Business response:

****, If you had a bill of sale from us we would have honored that. We tried to work on a better trade allowance for you but your trade in had a Salvage title from a major insurance loss. You did not have a price agreement. You had specified a configuration that was built. There was no contract that stated you were buying at a specific price and no contract that guaranteed you would get a Bronco. Used Broncos are selling for $10K to $20K over msrp and you want our new one for a lot less than a used one. Sorry we couldn't mak... read more

I was called by one of the sales people at Gillespie Ford named ***. He told me that a **** Maverick was in stock. He also told me that the **** window sticker price was $24,000. I made an almost 2 hour drive into the shop the very next morning only to find that this dealership was marking this truck up an extra $10,000. The truck only retails for $20,000 but yet they wanted to **** it up an extra $10,000. That is price gouging. I have reported this dealer to **** motor company because that is ridiculous. I will also be repo... read more

I did not realize how awesome my special-order process of the Mustang Mach-E was until I began the special process order for a new First Edition EV from a different manufacturer. ***************** at Gillespie was great from start to finish. He allowed me to form my customer experience at ******************** instead of the normal dealership experience. I'll be honest - I HATE car dealerships, period. My best car-buying experience was with Carvana when I needed a temporary vehicle. However, Carvana doesn't sell new vehicles ... read more

I ve bought cars in the past from other dealerships that were ok. Some stood behind thier contracts,but most were just trying to make a fast buck. The team at Gillespie Ford in Gurnee was by far the best team ive ever worked with to buy a car. **** and *********************** are the best. These 2 actually walked me through every step of the process, before and after the completion of sale. They stood firm on thier words of thier contract,and bagged it up, this means alot to me,i will be buying all my cars from Gillespie For... read more

Horrible customer service in the service department they are very unprofessional all they want is your money & fake 5 star reviewsI brought my car in to get serviced for an oil change & when I got back in my car it was oil everywhere on my seat, my **************** from the mechanic hands I would not recommend anyone going there for service unless you like to be disrespected.!! 

Business response:

Sharlecia,We are very confused as to why you are upset . The last time you were here was three months ago and we did not hear of any issue from you at that time. You called in yesterday and we made an appointment for a leak after you hung up on the advisor. You also put in a ****** review stating that we gave you horrible service and you have not brought your vehicle in as yet. We requested you call us to clarify and have heard nothing. Please call me. ********************* ************.

The cars they sell have problems. They don't disclose or post a buyer's guide on their cars. Please be very careful if you are making a purchase with this dealer. "

I had an exceptional experience working with the service team. I was having problems with my tire had called 6 places. Luckily they are open a little later and Chris got me in right away and fixed my problem very efficiently. Car problems can be stressful and the process was seamless. I highly recommend their service team and will definitely be using them again.
