Default Chicago area dealer recommedation

I'm going to visit Chicago area in the near future. Arlington Hgts. and Northwest suburbs. Which Chevy dealer has the best selection/knowledge of Vettes in that part of town? Thanks.

In regards to your question, the Dealers that I can think of in that area are Lattof Chevrolet (Arlington Heights). Now in relation to HIGH ALLOCATION there are three top dealers in IL. Team Chevrolet (Westmont/NWburbs), Woodfield Chevrolet (Schaumburg/NWburbs), and Bill Jacobs Chevrolet (Joliet/Sburbs). I chose Bill Jacobs Chevrolet because they have an excellent reputation and are very knowledgeable.

I will be picking up my new 2002 QS Z06 next week!

If you choose them, SEE The MAJOR :yesnod: :chevy

I hear good things about the Major and I wished I had been able to get HIM when I called and was told sticker...even though they advertise that they give you the straight scoop over the phone with no monkey business...I bought elsewhere.
I have been happy with Advantage Chevrolet in Hodgkins/Countryside/LaGrange but you have to deal with internet guy Dennis McClain...I found some of the other "sales associates" (accent on the first three letters of the second word in quotes) to be just that...
Dennis is straightforward over the phone or on the internet.

I bought mine from Team Chevy in Westmont and have no complaints. The sales department was good, and the service department has been excellent. :chevy

I also went with Bob Gualandi (The MAJOR) at Bill Jacobs Chev in Joliet. Bob's a great guy to work with. I've had problems getting GM to build my car which are probably the result of the color (MY), and which are as frustrating to Bob as they are to me. This dealership gets LOTS of Corvettes, and will probably move about 70 Z06's this year. Recommended.

I have bought 3 Vettes from Team Chevy in Westmont, Illinois. they have a huge vette inventory.

My friend is the sales/finance manager there. Ask for Mitch Lewandowski and tell him that Mike sent you.

I had a good experience at Team Chevrolet. If you decide on Bill Jacobs, make sure you talk to "The Major".

Good Luck!
