I took a ride with my son to check out a vehicle on the lot here. From the moment you walk in the door, all friendly associates and very willing to work with. There was no pressure or push like some car dealerships. Cris was awesome to work with. He was no BS and a straight shooter when it came to financing. He worked with us to achieve a fair price for a quality vehicle. The purchasing process was seamless and not intimidating at all. I would strongly recommend anyone in the Channahon and Minooka area looking for a quality vehicle and good customer experience, give Simotes an opportunity to help with your car purchase. Side note, small business that truly supports the community. Help them out by giving them a fair shake when you are looking for a vehicle. Good people here!!

Chris sold me my first dealership truck and I couldn't be more happy with the service and how easy it was. He's a great guy and a better salesman. I will definitely recommend anyone to go here for their new vehicle

Your service team went above and beyond! Our son’s vehicle broke down on Friday evening just south of Chicago on a road trip from Detroit to Denver. I called Simotes and spoke with Brandon who said the service dept wasn’t open on Saturdays but that he would see if his tech would come in on Saturday to get the car back up and running. We had the car towed to Simotes after hours Friday night then found out Saturday morning that the technician couldn’t make it so Brandon came in and was able to replace the fuel pump within a few hours and had the car back on the road. We are so thankful that he went above and beyond!!

Great experience with kind staff. Cris made it a stress free time.

Dane Dyar - 2018 Chevrolet Cruze

I found myself car shopping the last week and after visiting a few lots found myself asking how some of the other establishments even make sales. Frustrated I was talking to my neighbor about it and he referred me to Simotes Motors, where he got his 2 cars. I was a bit hesitant after my recent experiences with other lots but I went there and the difference was night and day! They didn't jostle me around, they weren't bullish or forceful and the deal they presented me with was A1. I had the pleasure of working with Nick D. and I will be back in the future 100%. Thanks folks and Happy New Year!

Arkadiusz Mastalerz - 2019 Nissan Rogue

An absolute non hassle buying experience. Michael was the best to work with. I stated up front that I don't want phone calls and I want everything through email and he gave me everything I requested. Right away he gave me an out the door price as I requested, a quote for an extended warranty and financing options. Got my car the same day!

Out of at least 15 dealerships I contacted this was one of the few that actually gave me an outright "out the door" price on the car WITHOUT adding fraudulent dealer fees! These FAKE fees are called different things like "dealer fee", "power pack", "inspection fee", and other things and all it does is raise the actual price of the car by those fees. The other dealerships post a price of $15'000 but with those fees the car actually costs 17'00 BUT Simotes does not do this, they are 100% transparent and give you out the door price at the beginning. Will come back to get my next vehicle here as well.

Maelena Motsch - 2017 Chevrolet Malibu

Of all places we searched Simotes had the best service and selection. Michael was the best salesperson, he had the car we wanted. They listen and they help. Their selection is phenominal and priced right. Don't pass this gem of a dealership up. You won't regret it.

Tony Schiller - 2011 Ram 1500

Michael was great to work with, answered all my questions, my bank’s questions, and got us into the truck we wanted.

Michael Jackson - 2004 Ford Mustang

I want to say thank you for the help received on 8 April, 2021 A.D. My car broke down in Minooka more than 2 hours away from home. The service tech Brad helped me directly. He diagnosed the problem with my vehicle within 15 mins and offered me counsel on what I could do to attempt to remedy the problem. I was blessed to receive help quickly and kindly, so much so the dealership did not charge me for the diagnostic work which I did not expect. The dealership and staff went the extra mile to help me in my time of need.

Theresa Gonzalez - 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan

We had a wonderful experience buying our Minivan at Simotes! Michael is the best, he had the van already for us to test drive. He was very helpfully and friendly. He definitely Made our car buying experience great. We found This dealership on CARFAX. I would recommend Michael and the dealership for any car buying needs!

Shyhrete Asani - 2005 Audi A4

Michael Caragher sold me my daughter’s first car. He was amazing. He was very accommodating to my price range. Such a friendly man. It was a pleasure purchasing a vehicle from Simotes. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a car.

Ashley O'Brien - 2007 Toyota Matrix

Highly recommend Simotes for buying a used car! Michael and their team were great to work with and made my first car buying experience stress-free. They addressed all my (and my parents' ) worries. All cars are high quality and car faxes are provided online. Being able to see up to date inventory and information on their website made the process even easier when I arrived to the dealership. Simotes had the biggest inventory of affordable cars that were good quality (low miles, accident free etc). The actual process of buying the car was very fast as well. Overall, I left very happy today with my very first car.

Kathi C. - Buick 1999 Century

Traveling on I 80 had overheating issues. This was a Saturday service is closed. Left the car and Dave started on it first thing Monday morning. He diagnosed the problem. Sadly the motor was blown. He stayed in contact with us and when we came to empty the car out he made the time to meet us and explain further about the car. Very pleased with the service and Dave's honesty and going out of his way for us.

Terry Takash - 2006 Cadillac DTS

Michael, I want to express my thanks for your courtesy and professionalism. Please pass this email on to Grant also. I appreciate you guys standing by your product (dts '06) and taking care of my turn signals. You do not often see vendors doing that these days and I truly appreciate it. I hope the problems with the car are over in that I truly enjoy driving the Caddy. Be well. thanks again, Terry
