Derrick was amazing. He tried to help me out as much as possible but certain situations didn't allow it. I would definitely go back.

I had an incredible experience at this dealership! From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly helpful and made the process of getting me into an amazing Volvo that I absolutely love! Franz, our knowledgeable salesperson, took the time to teach us about the vehicle and made our experience truly memorable. Pritesh, the finance manager, provided us with excellent information and ensured that we left the dealership in a timely manner. The entire team went above and beyond to make me and my family happy, and I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a great car purchase.

Good follow up on inquiry. Found a better option nearby. Not 5 stars since I didn’t have an onsite visit.

Response from current dealership:
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear our team at McGrath Volvo Cars Barrington provided a pleasant and hassle-free car buying process. Enjoy your new vehicle!
I ended up purchasing a different car from this dealership. I had two in mind and started
with this car, but liked the other one better in person. One bit of confusion was that I had
exchanged emails with one employee, thought I was meeting up with them for my
appointment, and then had to begin the discussion all over with a different salesperson.
Apparently the person I spoke to online only handled web leads and was never going to
be the salesperson. But I liked the people I ended up working with. The process was
painless, I felt it was very fair from the offer price to the trade in value.

We're happy to hear Danny provided you with an excellent experience, Ahmed! Thanks so much for your business, from all of us here at McGrath Volvo Cars Barrington!
Dealer lied and said they couldn’t do anything with the price as it was as low as they could go already. A week later they dropped the price $1500. Typical.

They were helpful and good to communicate with. The car was sold but the salesman tried to find me other similar cars
Mar 29, 2023
Awesome experience

Contact and follow up
Unfortunately, there's not enough space here to completely cover the transaction. I bought the car from John Keady,
who is, without question, the best sales representative I've ever dealt with. Not only did we get a deal that was about
what I had expected and which was satisfactory to both of us, but John followed up with, not only an email, but also a
telephone call telling us what a pleasure it had been to spend the afternoon with us. He said some very nice things
about my wife and me, which we've always tried to ensure are true, and the very same can be said about him. During
our negotiation, he carefully explained his reasoning about every point. I made the last offer and he made the last
concession. And we went away more than satisfied with the transaction. While it makes no sense, it seems that, if you
want a good deal on a Toyota, don't ignore your Volvo dealer! McGrath gets top marks from us.
From the initial contact to the signing of documents, Kevin Sugrue made this process absolutely SEEMLESS!!! Because I was coming from Arkansas, he sent clear pictures of the car and followed up with videos detailing any and every mark on the car. He was the first face to great me upon arrival and did an outstanding job making sure I had everything I needed. This was, by far, my best car buying experience to date!!!
Dealership reached out immediately. John was such a great help! I actually purchased this Malibu and I have been smiling every since. The facility was so nice and refreshing. The staff were very helpful and understanding. I traveled 3 hours and they made me feel very welcomed. I highly recommend checking them out.

Good timely response.
Yami handled my Internet Inquiry off the CarGurus request and Dylan Janes treated me exceptionally
well after that. If I hadn't of lived 3+ hours away from the dealership, the sale would've been a lot
quicker but MCGRATH was wonderful to work with nonetheless in finding my DREAM CAR!!
I showed up to test a BMW M340i and got a great test drive. I should add everyone and everything was ready at the appointed time. There was a bit of wiggle room but a decision had to be made immediately as there was another buyer right behind me and I just wasn't prepared to drop that kind of money without a little thought.
I know--that is typically a sales ploy but in this instance, the car was gone the next day.

Got back to me quickly

I had a good experience with McGrath Volvo. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase.
Feb 6, 2021
Sales rep was very helpful. Would consider purchasing from this dealer. No Pressure Professional Sales Staff
Oct 22, 2020
Mcgrath responded on time. But I could not go see the vehicle as I purchased another one by then.
Aug 23, 2020
The dealership was in disarray, the point of
contact kept changing. The final individual that
reached out appeared confused and was
misleading in available cars and dealership policy.
The whole process was frustrating. I will not look
at vehicles there again.

Had a great experience...Ali and Patrick were awesome and my new vehicle is beautiful!

Dec 28, 2019
Easy to deal with... waiting time was a bit long after deal was made.
Oct 1, 2019
Prompt, polite, and helpful communication
Nice experience dealing with Ali and Masava. No
pressure, to buy. We did not agree on price until day
two of negotiations.. Everyone that we met at
McGrath Volvo was friendly and courteous... The
online person Sanitina was great..I would definitely
recommend McGrath Volvo.. even though I bought a
used 2018 Cadillac, great price.
Drove 2hrs to get to dealership. Friendly, no sales pressure. A little over half way home the check engine light came on. The next morning the salesman emailed, thanked me for purchase and said to let him know if I needed anything. I told him about the check engine light. His response was that the light was not on while the car was at the dealership and “so that’s just unfortunate timing”. That was the last communication from them.
May 20, 2019
Even though the car I really wanted of theirs was sold before I could come buy it, they responded promptly and politely. Wouldn't have a problem buying from them in the future!
Mar 5, 2019
I received an email immediately and the turn around time to my questions was on point!
Car was nowhere near as advertised. Priced thousands too high for
how car was described. If it had been the right car it still would have
been too high. We drove a long way and were really disappointed.
They offered us Starbucks gift cards for our trouble. Apparently
that’s their sales technique. Get you there and try to sell you
something else. Worst experience ever.
We had read other reviews about this dealer that stated a similar story. I thought they were whiners. I was wrong.
Jan 24, 2019
Very friendly
Process was easier than last purchase
Jan 17, 2019
Good car shopping experience.
Jan 12, 2019
Very nice people to work with!!
John met with me to test drive a 2018 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design and review the infotainment and safety
features. I was pleased with the car, but I am still getting myself ready to part with my current vehicle. I
am also looking at other makes and models to find the best deal. I appreciate their follow-up.
Initial response was quick but shortly after I was the one reaching out for updates. I stated that I was interested in the vehicle plus a couple others and little to no action from the dealer. I did get several canned responses from them asking if there was anything to do... Yeah, respond to my emails and let's get a deal done.. Not too complicated
Oct 19, 2018
Great follow up!
Aug 31, 2018
We drove for over three hours to see two cars in near perfect condition. One
had a bubble or repair that was quite visible on the trunk and the other
smelled like a smoker had driven it. It was a long day. Another three hours
coming back. People were nice but we won't go back.
Aug 9, 2018
I talked with a female salesperson her name begins with a S, she knows who she is. I asked if my car note could be under $500 with $8000 down on a $40k vehicle, she said she would call me back as she giggled and got no return call. This dealership thinks they are to big to fail, keep treating consumers the way you do and you will learn sooner than later like all the other forgotten car dealerships learned. Power to the buyers!

Response from current dealership:
Vast, our staff does not have any recollection of this event taking place. Please give me a call at (847) 381-9400 to discuss your interaction. - Adam Strojecki (General Sales Manager)
Jun 11, 2018
The staff was fine. The car was in rough shape,and was not ready for sale. It was a waste of time.
May 13, 2018
Very helpful dealer!! However I found a car already
May 1, 2018
I felt the people I dealt with were both fair and attentive. After arriving at a purchase price, I was able to complete the transaction within an hour, certainly better than most car purchases I have made. There was no moving from office to office which I very much appreciated. When picking the car up two days later, everything was as promised, and I was soon on my way. I would consider McGrath the next time I purchase a car.
The car was not in good condition to buy, brakes were worn out, steering
was shaking while braking, it very clear rotor worn out situation, lot of
scratches inside and outside the car, and it was 33K one year used S60 R
Design with 9K miles on it, so we requested to see another car. But the
sales manager did not co-operate with us, rather tried to prove the car is
good and tried to manipulate us to buy this car. Gave really bad impression
about his other brand new cars, so we end up buying the bad car he
wanted to sell. I don't know what was he thinking. I complained about his
behavior to General Sales Manager while he apologies and offered a good
discount on new car to make it up to sales manager's bad behavior. I had
lost my will to do business there no matter how great the deal General
Manger offered. It was overall a bad experience.
Apr 29, 2018
Every individual was helpful and willing to take time to do what they
could to get me into the car I desired. I would recommend friends to
them in the near future.
Feb 11, 2018
I felt hounded by 5 or 6 sales reps. and I'm trying to work around my schedule to actually go into the dealership.
Jan 4, 2018
They contacted me but did not reply to my questions
Dec 27, 2017
Quick response to inquiry.
Oct 15, 2017
Fantastic car buying experience. John Keady was fantastic
Sep 24, 2017
The 'great deal' car was incorrectly priced...and of course "sold". The car
wasn't "sold" it was just re-listed at the corrected price, which I can
understand...just be straight about it and you may have sold me a car this
weekend instead of your competition.
Apr 2, 2017
They don't have the car and still today
they keeping in the list sale.
Nov 12, 2016
Car did not meet our needs for an AWD Volvo S80 with low
mileage. Found elsewhere. Dealer was attentive and
pleasant to work with otherwise.
Oct 20, 2016
They were prompt with a response.
Jul 21, 2016
They responded immediately. The car was sold.
Apr 15, 2016
I received one email that stated they would be contacting me and that was
the last I've heard. I don't even know if they still have this car.
Aug 23, 2014
Dealer was courteous to show the
car and share all info. But did not
even bother asking for contact or
responding to emails and of
course zero followup. As though
he did not want to sell anything.
Very funny experience.
Oct 26, 2013
very helpful
