LOVE THEM!!!!!! Starting with Josh in the beginning sales process and ending with the amazing ladies in the office. Josh did everything in his power to get me what I wanted and reasonably priced. I told josh what I needed, not what I wanted?! He gave me what I needed and also offered me what I wanted, without me even knowing. This is the type of salesman you want. I went to more than enough car lots from the best to lower end, NOBODY and I mean this, Nobody gave me all in one. It was either one or the other, or neither at all. I highly recommend Ideal if your looking to build your credit, have no credit. They’ll put you in something nice and affordable for you. I can honestly say I’m happy, and I feel confident with this purchase. Low mileage, Loaded, and it’s a beauty I must add 😍. After this pandemic we’ve went through it’s nice to have good people on your side, that care about the customer most importantly and aren’t just about making a sale. Great experience!! I will be referring my family and friends. Don’t have a doubt, if you do just walk in and talk to Josh, he’ll get you together, and get you together with something that’s nice. Amazing place and amazing people!!

The Springfield location is the BEST!!! We have dealt with them in the past and had a wonderful experience. Today we went to them again and dealt with Josh and Michelle and the experience was again wonderful. We were able to bring home a new car!!!! Absolutely amazing customer service and will definitely be telling everyone about Ideal in Springfield.

1/10 Staff is Great, Vehicles are trash!! Purchased a vehicle back in January and have had nothing but issues. It has been in the shop 4 times about to be a 5th and has cost me money for repairs that were not covered under the warranty I pay for monthly. Recently found out the vehicle was in a wreck back in 2016 with moderate damage to the front of the vehicle. This information was not disclosed (By law it does, because it affects the value of the vehicle) When I called and asked how they will rectify this I was told We do not have to disclose that a vehicle was previously wrecked because we do not know that information. They are only worried about the money and not the customer or what they are selling. As long as it puts money in their wallets.

I would absolutely recommend buying a car from ideal auto sales in Springfield. Josh helped me with anything and everything. They are all so patient and pointed me towards the exact car I wanted. They are very respectful people. They work around with any problems that we have. I came to get a car and drove away with the perfect car. Thanks for the help of josh and Taffy. 10/10 recommend!

A good place for someone with poor credit to get a fair deal on a vehicle. The staff was polite and accommodating, and explained details comprehensively throughout the process. I never felt pushed at any time during the process, and everyone was competent, professional, and friendly. I dont like the car buying experience, but Joshua made it bearable.

10/10. Absolutely recommend working with them. I was helped in my car buy experience by Josh W. And Michelle. They were great. The process was easy and understandable. I didnt feel pressured to get something I didnt want or that I was being pushed into a sale. They really helped me out and they have some decent cars to chose from. Definitely a great option if youre looking to build strong credit. Im very pleased with my experience.

I would absolutely recommend buying a car from ideal auto sales in Springfield. Josh helped us with everything. They helped not only with finding a car Josh also helped entertaining our three year old during the wait. Josh and Michelle are both very nice people. We came to get a car and drove away with the perfect car the same day. If you are looking for good bi weekly payments I recommend coming and checking them out.

Review №21

Loved making a deal with Josh and Michelle. I never felt like they were trying to push me into a car i didnt really want. They were very patient and polite with me. I absolutely love the car I got. When I took my test drive i noticed a couple issues that they are going to be fixing. They really want to get you in something you want and they want to make sure it is reliable. Ideal is an awesome and fair used car dealership. I even told them if they ended up getting another car like the one I got but in a certain color to let me know because I will want it lol. I would 100% recommend ideal to everyone looking for a good used car. I also got a chance to talk to the mechanic and he was the best mechanic ive ever talked to. He made sure I understood what he was explaining to me about the car. He was very detailed and definitely seemed like he genuinely cared about fixing any and all problems in the car and making sure the car is in perfect running order. Ideal has a great team here in springfield. You guys are awesome

1/10 would NOT recommend!!! They don’t care about anyone or anything but money in their pockets!!!!! I had a 5 o’clock appointment to test drive a car and I even called before hand to confirm that I have an appointment and they sold the car 2 hrs before my appointment!! Would’ve most like purchased the vehicle but they didn’t seem to care or even call to inform us that they sold the damn thing!!!!

Was looking at an Chevy Impala on the internet, noticed it had no price on the car. So I call the dealership asking the price for the car, was told she can’t give the price over the phone. I said well I live over an hour away, I’m not gonna drive that far if I don’t know the price. The lady states, my boss told me not to give prices over the phone, he wants you to come in and look at the vehicle. How can you run a business like that. Lost a possible sale!!! What a joke

I had a great experience with the Springfield location. Josh W was my salesman and Michelle worked with me on the paperwork. Both were very pleasant, polite and professional. I think this was the best car buying experience Ive had. Do your research about the vehicles and establishment before going in so your expectations are set. I love the warranty and insurance options as well. Thanks again Josh and Michelle!

Buying a car was a huge decision for me to make today and I was allowed to test drive as many as I wanted to spent almost the entire day there not once did he seem impatient and made sure I was put in the exact vehicle I wanted very grateful for my experience today with Ideal Auto Sales and I will definitely be with them for a long time and refer them to others thanks again ideal for getting me the car that I need and deserve

Made a review on here previously saying how good this place was, and now here I am writing another less than 2 months later. I have had this car almost 2 months. Its had to go into the shop for the exact same issue twice now (which is the alternator going out on it). The first time it went in they said they put a new one on it, along with a new battery. That was obviously a lie because less than a month and a half later here I am having to get another alternator. so Im just writing this to warn people about the service and quality of people here at Ideal Auto Sales. Also they make it seem like they r trying so hard to help u when in reality they are just trying to screw u out of ur money. This will be another week(if not longer) that Ill be paying for a car Im not able to use.

Review №69

I would never buy another car there for nothing. Its crazy when the sales people are more honest than the service department. Service is the worst I have ever dealt with in my entire life. It takes 10 or more days to get your vehicle in then they want to order the part and take another 4 days before its done on an 1 hour job. They refuse to be flexible in when its going to take so long to get the part they hold your car hostage even if its ok to drive. When you complain they threaten to cancel the service contract. I hope an appliance repair person treats Mike exactly as he treats his comsumers. On one servicing the mechanic actually broke my drivers seat side where all the electric controls are and I drove my vehicle with the seat controls hanging by the wires for 2 weeks? If I could I would give service negative 4-5 stars.

Very poor customer service. Waited a long time before anyone even said anything to us. There were people who worked there but they were behind glass and seemed to care less if we were there or not. We knew what we wanted to see. It had some issues, so we didnt buy it, but I dont know if Ill go back to test drive anything again. Poor customer service. Ill take my money elsewhere. Not worth your time. Go somewhere else.

Review №78

Terrible service. If I could give zero stars I would. I would rather stick to public transportation than to get a car from this business again. I will be VERY happy once I am off their lease. If you want to avoid weekly payments, and threats of repossession after a late payment of ONLY three days--save your money, fix your credit, and go to a legitimate dealership. $500+ a month for a 10 year old car?? Ridiculous.

A woman who looks like she just woke up comes out to the lot. Immediately asks how much I want to pay per month (dirty tactic dealers use to maximize their interest profit) . I answer that Im more interested in total price and inquire about a 06 sonata with 124k. She says its 10k. 10 grand for an 11 year old car with high miles! She sees my incredulous look and rudely says bye walking away. you want to be treated terribly, while paying 3-4 times for a cars value? Look no further ! this is your place!

Review №81

LITERALLY THE GAMESTOP OF CAR DEALERSHIPS, DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. Terrible place to buy a car. They rip you off and the people lie and are extremely rude. Before you buy a car from here (which I do not recommend in the slightest) make sure you look up the actual value of the car and multiply it by 2 or maybe even 3, and you will most likely have your total payment for that vehicle. Honestly, ask a friend, ask around. They probably are or knows someone who was screwed over by them.

Poor customer service. It seemed no one was interest in selling any cars. We had to track someone down for a test drive, then they didnt know about the particular car and didnt offer to find out.
