I am Kevin, and on 2/20/12 i had just purchased my 99 ford Taurus from STANDARD AUTO ON CHICAGO ROAD AND SAUK TRAIL. for me the car was all of 10 hours old. approx. 2 weeks after my praise for standard auto was posted - the car broke down due to an engine block crack. when i asked Steve to do something about the fact he knowingly sold me a bad car - he refused. Steve, Sue and all of the staff at standard auto give you their very best until you have paid for and driven your car off their lot - after that - you are nothing to them. This man and his band of merry thieves will take your money and ignore the problem they caused. i officially RECANT my previous praise of Standard Auto! BUYERS BEWARE OF STANDARD AUTO SALES - if you buy from them you will be back on the bus with me!

I would not trust my money with anyone else. I get treated fair every time I talk to Jim or his salesmen. They are truly honest and will tell you every single detail they know about the vehicle, instead of ignoring your question like a lot of other people. The prices are extremely cheap, always under KBB value. I originally bought a 96 Saturn off of Jim in 2004. It had 170,000 miles and it made it to over 230,000 miles in 2010. I ended up trading it in for a newer Saturn and he gave me another great deal! I got 6 years out of a $1,600 vehicle. Beat that!!

Hats off to Mark! Thanks for your help. Thanks to all at Real Autohaus for all the help at keeping the Saturn running.

Great trust worthy service. The only place I'll take my SAAB anymore, as they know what is wrong without guessing what the codes mean. -Amy Loek

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. They are LIARS AND RIP OFFS. My next step is to expose them via Channel 5 news, anyone looking to get on board let me know. I purchased my my girlfriend a 2005 Volvo S80 for Valentines Day from Alpha Motors on Feb 13, 2012. Along with the purchase of the vehicle, I was told I will get a an extended warranty through Alpha Motors of Westmont. Come to find out it was a lie. they charged me and extra $1,600.00 which I had to pay in order to obtain a warranty and close the deal the extra money was tacked on to my montlhy car note. ALPHA MOTORS NEVER PAID THE WARRANTY COMPANY FOR MY WARRANTY PLAN . Its all a lie to get you to purchase the car!! The Price of the warranty is on the consumer/buyer.. I found this out 8 hours after having the car, I took it to Volvo for repairs and the claim was denied... Come to find out, the warranty is only worth $3,000 dollars and once any repairs are done, the warranty is no longer any good!! So my newly purchased car ended up with Alpha Motors for 30days waiting to get repaired, once delivered to me, They promised Jerry Arquines ( Sales Manager ) Frank Stanghellini ( Finance Director ) and Alber Youssef (General Sales Manager ) The car was in tip top shape and if not, they will refund all my money spent on repairing the car along with my down payment of $3,000.00 dollars To date, Alpha motors is refusing refund any monies, and has the car back in their possession!!! as well as never fixed any repairs needed. on the car. they are refusing to admit fault as well as refusing to answer my calls. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. Alber Youssef told me I would have to sue him to get my money back and he doesn't care about any lawyers, because he has 3 lawyers who sit around and do nothing but wait for people like me and will eat me alive..

Put a deposit down on a car with the agreement that they would fix a few things before I brought the balance.  When I came back on the day they said the car would be done, they tried telling me the broken side light was new and thats how the manufacturer makes it - with a crack.  The only thing they said they would do was detail the car.   After feeling cheated and disrespected, I told thm I wanted my deposit back and didn't want to buy the car.  They said to come back because the owner had to sign the check.  After calling multiple times and being hung up on by Denise, and making multiple visits, we were pretty much blown off and never received the deposit back.  They sold the car and got to keep our money on top of it. No wonder why they are rated F on the Better Business Bureau website and so many complaints have been submitted to the BBB.
