Everyone was polite!

The dealership where I used to go had a coffee machine and bottled water for customers, in addition to individually wrapped cookies and vending machines. That was always appreciated! ”

“ I had gotten a quote from another dealer for a CR-V for my daughter and was planning to close on the deal the next week and the dealership was a few blocks from my home. I had to go to Bourbonnais on business and decided to stop at Bill Kay's just to check. I met Karen Flinn and I was impressed with her knowledge and the way she treated me. There was no pressure to buy and the entire staff were friendly and professional. The quote was fantastic that Karen offered and I didn't feel I had to look any further. I live 35 miles away but it was worth the ride. I recommend this dealership and look for Karen Flinn, she is the best. ”
