Automax Chicago Inc

This place is shady I just recently found out that the car I purchased from them was totaled the year before I bought it not only was my car totaled but I bought my car with what I thought had 32 000 miles on it come to find out they sold me the car with over 70,000 miles on it and I’m pretty sure everyone knows that turning back the mileage on a car is illegal things are about to get real interesting

These are well rebuilt salvage titled cars. Good for getting a deal, but not if you’re ever considering as using as a dealer trade in later. I keep mine forever, so great option for me.
Bought a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid (getting 37 mpg). Only a couple of minor issues with the car found after I purchased it. I just mentioned them to Carlos, dropped off the car & he got them taken care of for me. The windshield fluid line had a leak, was missing the small screw in antenna, & the passenger side window made a small noise when opening/​closing. All taken care of.
Good price & no stuffy salesmen — overall a positive experience.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. This place is a joke. They lie about the vehicles and the financing. Most of the vehicles they have are Salvage titles, which are very hard to resell or trade in. The salesperson told us the car we were interested in was only in a minor accident. Turns out that was a huge lie. We did not know this before we put down a deposit and filled out the financing paperwork. So after one day of waiting to hear back from the «BANK», I get a call from the salesperson telling me we were approved and go to this ??? address to sign the paperwork. Well they don’t use a bank, they use a crappy finance company (none of which was disclosed). We get there to Turner Acceptance and they want to give us a loan for 24.99% interest for 42 months. Yeah no way! Our credit is good! We never would have driven downtown for this. My fault for not double checking beforehand though. So after we decline the ridiculous financing, we head over to the «Dealer» to get our deposit back, which we were told before that it wouldn’t be an issue. When we get there, Michael gets nasty with us and says he cannot give it back. I told him that you lied to us and we are NOT paying 24.99% interest for a car and that he should give us back our money. After more rude comments he gave in and out we went. Straight to Al Piemonte Nissan. We ended up with almost the exact same car with 5% interest and a fully warranty and a free carfax report on the vehicle. When we got home I looked up the car we almost bought at Automax and holy crap! Glad we did not buy it. It was in a MAJOR accident!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO PAY OUT THE YOU KNOW WHAT AND WANT TO DEAL WITH SHADY PEOPLE.

You might think that you are getting yourself a good deal for a used car. This would’ve been so true if they were selling used cars!
The thing is, they are NOT selling used cars, they are selling rebuilt SALVAGE title cars. Ok, that wouldn’t be too bad either, some people consider buying those cars as a second or third car… etc. The problem is THEY WON’T disclose this fact to you! Quite low, right??! You might end up buying and paying off an expensive automobile that has «branded» title for a years if you are not careful!
«Branded» title means that the new title shows car has been totaled once, so the new owners are aware of it. This basically mean that if you want to trade in such a car in the future it’s practically worth nothing. Decent dealerships won’t take it, other will give you ridiculously low amount.
So PLEASE, please do yourself a favor and spare yourself a trouble, avoid this place. Ask for CARFAX and check the #VIN yourself. Don’t relay on whatever story you hear from them. If you ask for CARFAX and they tell you that «car has been in a minor accident» RUN !! No car in a minor accident is given salvage title, it has to be damage 75%-100% to be declared salvage by insurance company. Also once you find out on your own that they are trying to scam you, they change from amiable to quite unfriendly in a matter of seconds.
P.S — if you are intentionally buying rebuilt salvage car then i’m sure you are going to have a nice experience. They are willing to give you car to drive around, take it to the mechanic and are helpful with financing process. They’ll offer one year warranty. If they were honest upfront and explained that they are selling rebuilt vehicles I would leave a positive review.

Bought my Infiniti here. Loved it so much my dad came here one month later and bought himself an Infiniti. Not much more to say other than these guys are the real deal. Take the car and get it scoped out by your mechanic prior to buying. They’ll probably insist you do. I will ONLY buy from them going forward.

I bought a 2010 honda fit sport in 2012 that started falling apart after a few months. I had found out later that the car i bought had a salvaged title, had 4 owners, had been in a collision and was in a flood.
No dealership would take it as a trade in which left me with negative equity.
No wonder their prices are below blue book value.

Great place to buy your car. This is a second car I bought from them. I spoke with Carlos and he was very professional. First car I bought was Scion XB and now I got a Audi S5. I recommend that place because I think you can trust them to get quality car for a good price.

They have great cars at a very reasonable price, and the guy who helped me (Carlos) was of great help. I will defenitly buy from them again and will recommend everyone I know there

Do yourself a favor. Do a VIN # search on their cars. They have a vehicle that I was interested in that was a wreck salvage. It’s cheap for a reason.
