If youre thinking about buying a car this will be your last stop. This is hands down the best dealership Ive ever dealt with. Amazingly honest people.

We were on vacation from Florida heading to Wisconsin, when our new truck broke down. We were towed to a dealership who wouldn’t take our truck for 2 weeks so the tow truck took us to Vic Koenig. They took us right in & were very willing to help us. They suggested a nearby pet hotel as we were traveling with our dog. They loaded us in their courtesy vehicle & took us to the hotel. They worked on getting parts as quickly as possible & finished in 2 days so we could continue on our vacation. We are so thankful for their help & service. Would highly recommend this dealership.

I would give them a zero if I had the choice. I bought a 2013 Mazda CX5 in 2017 only to find out a couple of months ago it was sold to me with a branded title. How did I find this out, not from the salesman at Vic Koenig. I went looking to trade it in and it showed up on the Carfax the Schmidt Chevrolet ran.I did call Vic Koening about this and was brushed off with a, Imm sure we can help you out. They were to call me back when they got in a selection of used Jeeps. Never happened!

Went to Vic Koenig two years ago and a bought a jeep. Always took it into their service department if I had a problem. After an unfortunate accident, I had to look for another vehicle. Came back to Vic and bought a vehicle that seemed to be okay but a couple days after purchase saw some issues with it. Went back to Vic and they tried everything to remedy the situation, eventually putting me in a newer better vehicle. Derek Ward was professional, helpful, and friendly the whole time. I really appreciate the time and effort that was taken. They could of just told me that there was nothing they could do and I would be stuck with that. Thank you Vic Koenig.

I like the dealership just upset with GM because they will not replace my defective battery and I cant even park in garage with latest updates. This is on my 2017 Bolt. This kills my resale value so Im stuck with a defective car.

The owner (Vic Koenig), sales manager (Scott Grob), sales rep (Lynn Strobel) and Corvette technician (Howard Woodson) went above and beyond to help me with my purchase of my 2021 Corvette C8. I would highly recommend this dealership. They were honest and upfront all along the way. I love my car and I thank them for all of the help in the nine month purchase process. I know that sounds like a long time but actually it was pretty fast considering the the all new Corvette. Great experience made possible by a great team of professionals!

Review №24

VETERANS!! THIS IS YOUR PLACE TO BUY!! Mr. Koenig himself went above and beyond for an ill Vietnam Veteran. The day of purchase, we voluntarily left the van on the lot since we were awaiting VA payment. However, (and I can only assume) that when Mr. Koenig discovered this information, he PERSONALLY delivered the vehicle, 3 days later, to our home (which is an hour away from his dealership)! When VA payment finally arrived at the dealership over 30 days after purchase, Mr. Koenig made a personal run to our home AGAIN so that the Vet could endorse the check! Great place to buy!!

I came to Vic Koenig just to get my door fixed on my vehicle, Dale the parts manager I believe was super sweet to me the entire time. While I waited I decided to browse the parking lot for cars to pass the time and found two cars that I was interested in when Dion, one of the Cars Salesmen found me and let me test drive a vehicle I was in love with. To make a long story short I came on Monday to get my car fixed and rolled off the lot on Thursday with a wonderful pre-owned vehicle that rides like it’s brand new. I am so happy with my purchase. I am so pleased with the outstanding Customer Service that I received this week. I will be telling everyone that will hear me to buy a car from Vic Koenig Chevrolet. Thank you again Dion, Scott, and Dale.

Review №32

So over all Im very pleased and will be back. Ive been to Vics twice this year. We wont discuss the first visit, long story short that car died in a collision anyway. I went back to talk to my salesman and friend...Ted Albert. After I explained recent events, and my issue with a couple individuals, he assured me it would be made right. Let me tell you, I worked Ted, Shawn (Sean) and Scott good today. Four test drives, some phone calls and paperwork and Im back in a nice, reliable vehicle. No down payment this time, and terms I can live with. These three restored my confidence and I couldnt recommend them more. Go see Ted, Shawn or Scott. Tell them Will said thanks.

Came in looking for a smaller V6 to replace my Traverse. Nothing wrong with my Traverse I just wanted something smaller. I have been looking at the new Blazers since they came out last year. Didnt think I would be able to get one because of the price but Andy and Sean made it happy and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good deal.

Matt really took care of me. I drove 350 miles to Vic Koenig Chevrolet precisely because Matt worked with me for several days getting me the best deal possible on the right car for me and my family. I wouldn’t hesitate to make the drive again in the future just to avoid the usual “used car salesman” shenanigans that usually turn people off to the process of buying a used car. They were respectful, upfront with all transaction details, and ultimately were very accommodating to my specific needs. Thanks again, Matt, for your professionalism and for making this car buying process painless and enjoyable.

Review №61

In the many years I have been car shopping, not many car salesman are straight forward, they either pressure the customer or just use some half baked sales pitch. I have been to Vic many times, and Ted Albert, is the first salesmen to be straight forward. He didn’t waste my time with a sales pitch or have his manager come in and pressure me. Anyone needing a new/used vehicle? I recommend going though him, very professional, and easy to work with. I will definitely be back to Vic Koenig in Carbondale IL.Thanks Again Ted!

My wife and I just purchased a brand new vehicle from Bryan and he was fantastic! He was super friendly and kind and more than willing to answer any and all questions. James in finance was also very helpful and accommodating and was even able to help knock off some additional expenses. If you are shopping for a vehicle I highly recommend stopping by Vic Koenig Chevrolet for your next purchase! Ask for the salesman Bryan!

Never had an easier and more pleasant truck buying experience. They gave me more than fair trade in and had me out of there in no time. Give Lynn Strobel a call if you are in the market, his time as an international male model and hot dog eating champion have made him a real straight shooter and a joy to work with. Youll be happy that you gave him a call.

THE. BEST. CAR. SERVICE. EVER!! The guys at chevy, the mechanics and the representative were the most professional people I have ever dealt with when dealing with my car! The service was too good!! Too good!!! ♥️♥️ They offer to pick you up and drop you off when you need to leave your car behind for service, they work done on the vehicle was way more than I could have asked for and the quality was just BEYOND AWESOME!!! I use to see cheaper services around but now I see why those guys are cheap! Chevy isn’t that much more expensive but you definitely get what you pay for with this guys! And then some!! Forget other services ! That Midas touch I don’t know what that fool be touching but it ain’t anything like what the mechanics Chevy has!! 💯 💯 seriously I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Little bit of back story, I had gotten off work and was heading north when I encountered vehicle issues. After getting that fixed I headed straight over to Vic Koenig to trade it in. Ted Albert and the entire team at Vic Koenig went above and beyond to ensure I was able to leave in not only a different vehicle, but the exact vehicle I wanted. I recomend to everyone to go see Ted Albert and the team at Vic Koenig for any vehicle purchase.

I am so impressed at the service I receive each and every time I visit Vic Koenig for service on my 2014 Chevy Cruz. I am always greeted with a smile, serviced and provided a ride efficiently, and I never feel as if I am getting taken for a ride. Jeff is the individual I am fortunate enough to work with most since he is the early morning shift service writer, and I am an early morning customer. Jeff is knowledgeable, helpful and makes me feel as if my concerns are legitimate, checking it out to ensure I am safe on long travels west as well as driving around town. And Kimmy is fun to joke with on the phone, though she always maintains the professional integrity common to Vic Koenig staff. Thanks to everyone at Vic Koenig!!

This sales person and dealership has been exceptional with any need me or my family has. They have made long time customers out of us and we highly recommend them to all. A total of three cars have been purchased by myself/family and we have no complaints. From showing excellent foresight and placing us in the vehicles we not only desired but can afford, they have been friendly, courteous and knowledgeable in helping us with our families need. Whether its service or sales, we have been very pleased with the service we receive. This is definitely the best dealership in our area for putting the customer first! Drew is the in sales and helping the customer get not only their needs met but the extras. Thanks Drew.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience atVic Koenig Chevrolet today. Weve been to several dealerships and have not had any luck with anyone trying to help us get the car we wanted.. rather they were trying to get us to take home the car of their choice. Matt Palmer did an excellent job at getting us approved for a 2017 Chevy Cruze and really took good care of us explained everything in great detail, and even got our payments lower then we asked for! Im telling you if you need a car Matt Palmer a Vic Koenig Chevrolet is the man to see!

I stopped by and looking to trade for the new 2020 Silverado 2500 LTZ. They made me an offer for mine which I said was to low according to Kelley blue book. I was told they used NADA . When I got home I looked up what the trade in value was on NADA. In very rough condition mine was worth $2500 more. I was looking at making a deal until I realized they were several thousand dollars below on trade in value.I called back but the manager never returned my call. Didnt seem to me like he was interested in my satisfaction at all.I took my business to Marion and bought the same vehicle for $5000 less. So I say shop around there are much better deals than this dealer has to offer.

I recently purchased my 3rd new vehicle from Vic Koenig Chevrolet. This time, just the same as the other 2 times, it was a completely painless process. Everyone involved from the receptionist (Andi), to the sales person (Dave), to the finance manager (Travis) to the owner himself (Vic) was as nice and as cordial as they could possibly be. Each of them took the necessary time to talk with me about what I was looking for and were more than willing to help me find and purchase a vehicle that was a perfect fit for me. I absolutely hate the car buying experience, but every time I have dealt with this dealership they have made it as pleasant as possible. I will be telling my friends and family about my recent experience. Two thumbs up for Vic Koenig Chevrolet!!!

Review №94

This rating and review reflect what I witnessed on 10/19/17 @ approximately 3:25pm.A new Malibu driven by an employee on route 13 just west of 148. Said employee was running around 70 and weaving in and out of traffic, seat laid back as though he was in his own car. Now someone is going to possibly purchase this vehicle. A nice new silver Malibu. I would second guess a purchase if this is how employees drive the new cars. Sure it could be a program car, running shuttle for a service customer, but when it has dealer plate, and dealership logo on the bumper, maybe you should think about that. You represent the company you work for every time you pull off that lot in a vehicle.

Dropped my car off on Monday for an oil change. They discovered a leak in a hose and needed to order the part which would be there on Tuesday. My husband goes to pick up the car only to find that it had not been repaired because someone went to training and didn’t tell anyone to fix it. He sat there for 45 minutes waiting for them to fix it. He pays and goes to leave only to discover that my car had been hit by another vehicle while in their care! The left side of the rear bumper is all scratched up and missing paint and there is maroon paint transfer on it! They actually questioned my husband about it being there before we brought it in! My car may be older but it did not have one scratch on it. Unacceptable that my car received this damage! Now I have to take it back in next week to be repaired after being without a car already for 2 days.
