I had such a good experience at Classic. Jennifer Pratt was absolutely the best sales person to work with, very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks Jennifer for helping me with my first new car!

By far the most pleasant car purchasing experience I have ever had. Jennifer Pratt not only has magical hair, but was wonderful to work with. She somehow was able to turn my 3-6 month car order wait time into about 6 weeks!! (probably her hair powers) I highly recommend Classic Kia, it was well worth the long drive and I love my new car!

I live out of state and was having trouble finding the specific Stinger GT2 color combination that I wanted at my local dealerships. After completing a search online, I found that Classic Kia had the exact car I had been searching for. I contacted several local dealerships hoping they would be able to assist me in getting that specific car. Every local dealership told me that an additional $3k-$5k would be added to the MSRP due to new car inventory shortages. This lead me to contact Classic Kia directly. Wayne informed me that the other dealerships were adding to their prices unnecessarily and assured me that was not a practice they believed in at Classic Kia. After speaking with him, I found that not only were they not going to price gouge me but they were also giving me a rebate. The professionalism and knowledge that Wayne provided during our conversation made the decision a simple one for me. He put my mind at ease about the process, as I have never driven out of state to purchase a car. I was very nervous that once I made the trip and arrived that they may try to change the numbers on me but none of that happened. I cant thank Wayne, Yoshi and Sean enough for making this experience a positive one. It was well worth it and I would not hesitate to make the drive again in the future. Thanks Classic Kia!

Jonathan was exceptional. My vehicles engine need a replacement and he went above and beyond to explain the situation and find a solution. I highly recommend dealing with him. Hes very patient and his attention to detail is very impressive.

I had reached out via phone to purchase a specific car I was searching for. After putting down a deposit I saw they had immediately taken down the listing on their website which I greatly appreciated.From beginning to end at the dealer, Wayne and Sean were extremely helpful and created a smooth process. While I was paying MSRP for a specific car/trim (as expected), they did not try to mix in any additional fees or costs. As a first time car buyer this made the process very relaxing.The car was ready as expected and they gave me a lot of freedom to make sure everything was right. If I had any questions they were able to answer or had another staff member who knew available. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend this location to anyone, especially new car buyers who are intimidated and worried about extra fees and “dealer tricks”.

I recently purchased my second vehicle from Classic Kia and it was the best experience. Jennifer was my sales person for the second time and I love love love her professionalism, communication and dedication to her customers. The whole team from the Manager, finance associate, etc. is very friendly and I highly recommend this dealership. I pre ordered the Telluride back in April and even though there was a wait…I am happy I went with Classic Kia. Classic Kia went off the MSRP and not a penny over. I visited other dealerships and all were charging $4,000+ over the MSRP but not Classic Kia.

Awesome experience working with Jennifer Pratt! She is very friendly and easy going and made the whole process seem so easy. Yoshi was great on the paperwork end of things too. Really love my new Sportage! Have been taking my Optima here for service too and the service department is great as well. Definitely recommend reaching out to Jennifer and Classic Kia for your next car lease or purchase!

This is the first car dealership I’ve had a great experience with. I knew going in exactly what car I wanted. Jennifer and Yoshi did an awesome job making sure I got the car I wanted and that I was able to afford it. Jennifer sat with me and went through all the features of my new car and how to use them which was greatly appreciated. I’ve already recommended them to several people and I will use them the next time I need a car.

Review №13

NO INTEGRITY- My mother took car in for a routine oil change and ended up being charged $750 for a 30K mile maintenance package in addition to the oil change. They did not outline the service being provided in writing and ask her to sign anything, so she was under the impression that they were only going to do a check up/inspection of the car, not actually do all the work. They claim that the agreement to perform the service was verbal, which is completely unacceptable, especially when dealing with someone elderly that is being charged almost $800, more than half her income for a month! There should be no ambiguity when charging someone that much money. They as a business should be 100% sure that the consumer understands what they are agreeing to and that there are no surprises. Had they been clear in explaining to her what they were planning to do and how much it would cost, she would NEVER have agreed to pay them more than half of her entire income for the month on car services that were COMPLETELY unnecessary.Spoke to the service dept. manager and assistant manager and they were rude and seem to want to justify their actions of taking advantage of an elderly woman by bullying her and telling her that her car needs this work done.......really? Wiper blades? cabin air filter? Antifreeze flush? Oil gasket? $750?? NOT NECESSARY on a car with less than 40k miles, this is for sure a nice to have for people on a very limited income. They didnt even have the common decency to apply a coupon to help save any money.In addition, they blatantly lied to me and told me that my mother signed off on the work on paper, then had to admit later that was not the case. Then they weirdly told me that they recorded their conversation/agreement with my mother to try and bully me into paying the bill. Terrible- No integrity. Preyed upon the innocence and naivety of an elderly woman to their own selfish advantage.Make sure you get your services in writing with a price before they do anything! Also beware that apparently they are recording your phone calls/conversations without your knowledge. At least that is what the manager told me.Mike did slightly reduce the overall cost after we discussed it, but they still sold an unnecessary, non-critical, expensive services resulting in us having to pay money that we dont have.

We had a great experience working with Jennifer. We pre-ordered a Telluride in April and it arrived in July, right on schedule. The cost was MSRP which is significantly better than other dealers in the area. We are happy we went with Classic KIA. We also had a great experience with Mike and his team in service. All around a great place to purchase a car.

I had one of the best car dealership experiences ever with Classic Kia in Waukegan. Please, if you are ever looking for a Kia, the name to go to is John Plewka! He was excellent and is just straight up, a great guy to work with! I purchased a Telluride from him and could not be happier! I must have called at least 10 dealerships and with the demand for Tellurides, ALL of them had some sort ridiculous dealer surcharge. Classic Kia was the lone dealership that offered it to me at MSRP. 5 stars!

The best experience! I went in just to look at a vehicle I found online. Tracey set me up with an appointment & I went in for a test drive and left with a new car. Jennifer is phenomenal and never used any of the stereotypical garbage you get elsewhere to work with me and get me in the car I wanted. She is super friendly, easy to talk to and Sean and Yoshi were just as great. I cant recommend them enough, even took time to go over all the features in my new car with me in person rather than sending me off to figure it out for myself. Definitely pay them a visit!😄

I purchased a Kia 3 days ago at Classic Kia in Waukegan. The experience was by far the best car buying experience I have ever had! (I, like so many others, detest the car buying process based on considerable previous experiences.) The easy, honest and smooth process began with Tracey Plante, their internet rep. She gave me the factual info I wanted and directed me to Sean, the manager. He and Wayne Ricks, the sales associate, were both phenomenal-HONEST, no game playing, no bait & switch, no having to wait endlessly for monetary details or financing. I came in with a quote from Tracey, they honored it, went a bit lower, and it was a done deal. Wayne went out of his way to explain every detail of the car, set up phones, etc. Both Sean and Wayne treated me respectfully and made the purchase really fun. Fair, fun, easy and honest! Who would imagine a car experience could ever be like that?!!

This was my first car shopping experience of purchasing a car and after a couple other dealerships I found what I was looking for and more at Classic Kia with Yoshi Yoshike and Jennifer Pratt. All those scary car dealership stories were a non factor with these guys. The entire process did not take all day, it was smooth educating and painless. Overall I could not have asked for a better experience when buying my first car. Drove off the car I fell in love with thanks to them.

Both of my cars needed replacing in the last 12 months. I went to Classic Kia and worked with John Plewka and settled on a KIA Forte for my first car that my wife primarily drives. First thing I noticed was zero pressure tactics. John wanted me to be able to get a good car and a great deal, but did zero pushing. We worked through options, he spent a long time with me, and we found a great vehicle at a great deal. When it came time for my second vehicle, I went back to John. Again, Classic provided no pressure, helped me find the right car for my needs and budget, and we made a fair negotiation. It felt like talking with friends and working through something fair for both of us. Loved John and the entire staff at Classic in their easy going, no pressure, fair process. I wouldnt hesitate to go back in the future, and I am happy to recommend them. If you want a fair price, easy going car buying experience and truly a group that makes you feel like part of the family, go to Classic KIA.Dave

There isnt anyone else I would recommend to purchase your next Kia from other than Jennifer Pratt. She is not only knowledgeable about the cars she sells, but is also an excellent listener, communicator, and most of all, a genuine person. She is like buying a car from your best friend (and I just met her). She was timely with all of her communications and follow-ups. I believe Jennifer is the best car salesperson that you can find anywhere. I have never recommended a car salesperson before, but ten minutes spent with Jennifer and you will see why she has such high ratings and a loyal customer following!

Recently bought my very first car here. Walked in a little nervous but thankfully Pedro was there to help me. He made the process so much easier and didn’t hesitate to answer any questions I had. He’s kind, respectful, and super friendly! Even my parents thought he was cool. He’s fluent in spanish too! So if you want to bring along a family member or friend that doesn’t understand English, but wants to know everything about the car and contract, he’s the man to go to. Without his help, I probably would still be riding my bike. I truly recommend him AND this KIA location! Even if you’re buying your first car :)

I was having trouble finding good salesmens that would explain to me necessary information. And then I came here and Pedro Fuentes (sales associate) took his time and explained everything to me perfectly. He was very nice and patient. This car dealership has good selections of vehicles and I recommend going there to find one. And overall it was a good experience.

Bought my 2018 Kia Optima here 3 years ago and have been very satisfied. John Plewka in sales was helpful in helping me choose which Optima I wanted. I have had all my service done with their service department and the car runs like the day I bought it. Jonathan and Jose in service always give me up front and fair pricing and get me in and out of there quickly.

One of the best Kia dealers in the area. Very straightforward and helpful. I went to the to buy a Kia Telluride which are difficult to come by due to huge demand, John Plewka (Sales & Leasing Professional) helped me with the purchase. This should be the fist dealer to go to if you are in the market for any new Kia vehicles in the Chicagoland area

On 1/21/21 I went to kia a little skeptical because I have had bad experiences before on a different place but as soon as I got there I met Jennifer my car salesman and she was very helpful I never felt pressured by her to buy something she took her time and explained any questions I had at the end she gave me a really great deal I felt comfortable enough to buy my very first new car. Everyone there was super friendly especially Jennifer and Sean Philip. I truly recommend coming to this place they wont disappoint you!

This will be where I go to buy a new or used car from now on. John was so helpful, kind, and without a doubt, the reason that I decided to get my car from them.

I have to say that Jen Pratt is awesome. I went to Kia for the New Telluride after searching all over and she was very attentive to my needs and helping me order what I wanted. Downfall is I had to wait 2 months for it to come. Butttttt....thanks to whoever ordered their Telluride and decided to go with another vehicle I got a call from Jen to ask if I wanted it. If you ever need a vehicle please reach out to Jen. Very professional and polite!!!

I found myself needing to make a decision whether to spend a lot of money fixing my truck or just getting a new car. I was very hesitant and stressed about the process. I contacted Kia and met with Jennifer Pratt who made the process feel like I was hanging out. She got me the perfect car, it was the exact car I was looking at prior to my appointment with her. Yoshi in finance made the hard part about purchasing a car so fun, his energy is on another level. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does without having to try hard to win someone over just for their business. I didnt feel pressured during any phase of my car buying experience. All the worries I had were non-existent. I truly l recommend going to Classic Kia and working with Jennifer & Yoshi but I can honestly say from my observation everyone seemed so friendly and helpful. Thank You Guys!

I had the pleasure of working with John Plewka. John was very easy to work with, particularly dealing with me entirely remotely since I am located in the Detroit area. I was not pushed into making any decisions I was uncomfortable with and their team provided suggestions for transporters to ship my car to Detroit. The vehicle arrived missing valve stem caps on the passenger side and John quickly responded by shipping replacements to me. Great experience here throughout the process.

Jennifer Pratt went over any beyond to make sure my vehicle was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I can’t imagine purchasing a vehicle from another dealer. I have one much much closer to my house and I will drive the extra miles to have Classic work in my vehicle and to purchase any new vehicles in the future. Sean also assisted with the paperwork and I was in and out in about an hour, you can not beat that! Prior experiences would take a good part of the day, if not the whole day.

I highly recommend Classic Kia. Their customer service and no pressure sales approach put me at ease right away. I was interested in a Telluride and put my information online. Tracey Plante contacted me right away, answered all of my questions and set up a test drive the next day. When I entered the showroom I was greeted by Jennifer Pratt. She got me on my way with the test drive and then when I came back walked me through my options. I walked out of the showroom feeling good about the process and was given time to make a decision. I called back in a few days and put my deposit down on a 2021 Telluride.I picked up the vehicle last Saturday and the process could not have gone smoother. Their Finance Manager, Yoshi Yoshiike was professional, explained everything in great detail and I walked away feeling great. I am happy to have joined the Classic Kia family and look forward to my service appointments.Thank you again for your great service and I will be recommending your dealership everywhere I can.

This dealership was refreshing to deal with and our contact, Salesperson John Plewka, was an absolute pleasure. John was the only person we could find, after calling multiple dealers, who would order us the car we wanted from Kia. He was very straight forward, in no way pushy and very thorough with all the details. We were even pleasantly surprised when the car came early! Purchasing with John Plewka from Classic Kia was the easiest car purchasing transaction I’ve ever had. I will buy my next Kia from here without question.

Had the GREATEST experience at Classic Kia! My husband and I had visited countless other Kia dealerships in the area only to have our time wasted with stereotypical dealership tactics. We couldn’t believe how painless, easy, and stress-free it was purchasing a car from Classic Kia! We wanted a Kia Telluride SX (which are in HIGH demand and, therefore, are super overpriced at the moment). John Plewka helped us build our own direct from the manufacturer for straight MSRP price! Every other dealership was upcharging $10,000-$15,000 over MSRP. John was professional, straight to the point, and focused on answering our questions and getting us the best deal. We were in and out in no time! If you don’t mind waiting a few months for your dream car to arrive, I highly suggest this avenue! Either way, I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership to anyone! Fair prices, polite salespeople, and you leave knowing you were taken care of. Thank you!!

My husband and I decided to both get new vehicles. Jennifer Pratt helped find us those vehicles (Forte GT2 and Telluride SX nightfall edition). Jennifer was great and made this an enjoyable experience. While we waited almost 3 months to get my telluride due to limited quantity, Jennifer kept us up to date on when the car would arrive. She has continued to be a point person if we need anything and is very responsive to our questions. Jonathan Farias helped with our window tints and made sure we were happy. Mike Flament introduced himself and also made sure we were happy. Everyone was very welcoming and were willing to answer any questions or help in any way possible. Would recommend Classic to anyone and recommend you ask for Jennifer Pratt to help with your car sale or lease. We are very happy with our new cars and experience.

Classic Kia in Waukegan has hands-down been the BEST dealership I have gone to. Jennifer Pratt was wonderful to work with, our car shopping experience with her was so easy and she was so very helpful and amazing to work with. She gave us the best deal compared to other dealerships in the area who were charging their MRSP at least $5000 above sticker price. She was very knowledgeable of all cars, and never gave pressure to purchase, she was very patient and kind with all questions and concerns. Jennifer Pratt and her team at Classic Kia are hands-down the best team to work with! We are so happy with our 2021 Kia Telluride, and I will continue to purchase Kias just to be able to work with her in the future! Thank you Jennifer Pratt and Classic Kia for everything!!

I bought a 2018 Toyota 4Runner next door at Classic Toyota and saw many of the Toyotas and Kias had these sharp looking black out packages installed. I inquired and was told that Mike, the service manager at Classic Kia was responsible. I talked to him about what I wanted done (powder coat the factory rims, black out the badges, remove the SR5 badging and add running boards) and he worked his magic. I am really happy with the work their service department provided to me.

My review is long overdue. I waited 6 hours at this location for my car to be serviced. Response was, it’s not even the brand we sell. My family WAS a longtime customer of Classic. They failed to see this, I complained to the head manager and the answer I received was “tough”. Again, they failed to see the value of having a family that purchased several cars from them. We like to deal with one place, looks like we found someone better than Classic.A simple tire rotation and oil change shouldn’t take 6 hours if you were one of the first customers there that day!

I received a price quote on a new Kia Soul from True Car and was directed to Classic Kia. I contacted Tracey from this dealership and she indicated that she could offer me an even lower price for the car I wanted. Later that night I arrived at the dealership and John took care of the buying process. Everything that was promised to me over the phone was honored that night at the dealership. The entire buying process including the test drive and paperwork was completed in under one hour. This was the best car buying process I have ever experienced and I have bought many in my lifetime thus far. The employees at Classic Kia must be commended for their service!

Highly recommend coming to Classic Kia! John Plewka and Yoshi (Finance Manager) were phenomenal in helping me buy my first car at the price I needed. Not only were they incredibly helpful, but they made the buying process enjoyable, which is pretty rare when visiting dealerships. Classic Kia treats their customers with respect, follows COVID safety measures (masks, plexiglass at desks, doesnt sit in with you when test driving to ensure social distancing), and puts you first. So glad I could walk away with my brand new Kia Sportage knowing that I got a great deal and can leave it in good hands when I come back for maintenance checkups.

Service department is a 50/50 depending who you talk to. Jose great friendly customer service driven good guy. Others not even close.Sales department not great but not bad.Finance department absolutely horrible they will add a warranty on the smell of the car if they could.Warranty also absolutely horrible save your money for a rainy day. I purchased a tire warranty that was very heavily priced only to have them not honor their warranty.

This is the dealership to go to Classic Kia for a Kia. If you are looking for the upmost attention to customer service quality. Your time is valued here. I highly recommend to at least visit for any Kias your seeking especially the Telluride. I did not feel rush nor pressure into anything I was not comfortable in. Let me tell you the experience alone was worth it. Not only did I not over paid on this Telluride I preordered it and waited 14 days to get it. Any other location may have it. But, will over charged beyond MSRP. I waited almost an entire year and finally over. Not your typical dealer they care and respect your decision. Plus sales person John Plewka is very experience in his field of car sales. Very Satisfied and thankful for stopping here. Worth the trip and time!!!

There are honestly not enough stars to properly rate my experience purchasing my new car on Saturday. I was greeted promptly by Len Smith, my sales associate, who was polite, personable, and extremely courteous. My husband and I went in looking at a different vehicle, however, Len and his General Manager, Sean Philp, steered us in a completely different direction; giving us a deal of a lifetime!!! I cannot stress how easy and non-stressful this was. I will be referring everyone I know looking for a new car to visit Len and Sean at Classic Kia. Well done, guys. Thanks again... PS. Theyre hot.

I worked with Wayne to purchase a vehicle-it was my first time buying a car for myself, so I wasnt sure what to expect. Everything was very no-nonsense and low pressure. Wayne listened to the features that I was looking for, and worked to find a vehicle that fit exactly what I wanted for a good price. Everyone at the dealership was kind and quick to help. Purchasing this vehicle was a really fun experience-kudos to the entire Classic Kia team.

I absolutely love this dealership. It’s not your “traditional” dealership where you’re being hounded and pressured by hungry sales agents. It’s a very friendly and calm environment that makes the car buying experience a pleasant one.My sales agent, Barbara Moore, was the best. She greeted me with a warm smile and from there, I told her what I was looking for and at what price. She went to work for me and within a couple hours, I was driving out of there with the brand new 2018 Kia Sportage I wanted!!! Way to go Barbara... you’re the best!!!I also have to give a shout out to Jennifer, the finance manager, who got me a great deal at 0% financing! So my monthly payments are cheaper than what I asked for... now that’s service!!!Thank you Classic Kia!

My cars transmission was failing me and I felt like I had no way out until I came to Classic Kia. We were helped by Wayne, who was so kind and understanding about my situation. I appreciated his patience and determination to help me drive home in a new car. Thanks Wayne & Finance Team for the excellent customer service!

Having previously bought two cars from other dealers, we were in for a pleasant surprise at Classic Kia. We had a very good experience buying our 2017 Kia Soul at Classic Kia. Other dealers should take lessons from these guys on customer service. The whole team is very good - Chet, Sean, Tracey and Taruj. The price was the best amongst other dealers. When we went there, they had the car ready for test drive. The paperwork went by fast. No sales pressure. No pressure to add unnecessary items to the car purchase. No shady tactics. They maintained transparency through the whole process. Chet knew the car in and out and patiently showed us how to use different features. My wife didn’t want to drive back in the rain storm, so they delivered the car to our home for free.

I Highly recommend salesman Rick Taylor. He made the car buying experience pain free and very easy. He went out of his way to make sure that I got the best deal for my money. Everyone there was super nice and very pleasant. The finance guy Ryan June was also fantastic. Rick, Ryan and Classic Kia made this the best car buying experience I have ever had! THANK YOU!!! I LOVE my 2015 KIA Soul!

Our sales person, Jennifer, was very friendly and knowledgeable along with everyone else we spoke with at the dealership. This will be the 4th car my family has purchased from Classic and we have never had any issues that were not taken care of quickly and efficiently. I would recommend Classic to anybody looking for a new vehicle. The service department is also highly recommended for any service your car may require.
