Bredemann Ford

Bredemann Chevy is a great dealership, honest and down to earth. Joe Alessi is knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend this dealership.

So great! This is a smaller dealership and they were super nice. They didn’t push us to buy anything and our Salesman Chester was awesome! Highly recommended.

In 2011 we decided to purchase a new car and I was dreading going to dealers. Our friends had dealt with Brederman for years and told us it was nothing like the other high pressured dealers. We first went to Golf Mill since it was closer to our home and I actually walked out as we were about to «sign on the dotted line». The salesman told me that he and my husband were going to talk finances so why don’t I just walk around the showroom and pick out a color! We left and headed straight to Brederman and met the most wonderful people and bought a car that day. We returned several times and their high quality of customer service carries through each department. We returned again this year to just look at the 2016 Escape and our salesman Chester made us feel so at ease and welcome. He’s very knowledgeable and absolutely no pressure. We decided again to buy. On our return to finalize and pick up our car, again Chester greeted us like we were family. We spoke with Steve regarding financing and he was a perfect gentlemen and explained what we would need — and not need. I told Chester that the employees at Brederman need to conduct classes for all other dealerships.
We will continue to sing their praises and spread the word. Thank you!

Started coming here for service work on my Ford Flex because of the poor experience at Golf Mill Ford (see my previous review). Been to Bredaman twice so far and everything has been smooth so far. They are busy like everyone else and the waiting area needs updating but oil change has been done in about an hour unlike 2+ hour waits at Golf Mill.

We just took home our new Ford Escape that we ordered from Bredemann Ford. It couldn’t have been a smoother transaction. Working with John Messner was a great experience. He was very knowledgeable about the Escape and he ordered the car exactly how we wanted it… we didn’t need to pay for extras that we didn’t want just to sell something off the lot. And we got an awesome deal! Thanks John Messner and Bredemann Ford!

Folks at Bredemann were very friendly and easy to do business with! i’m enjoying my car every bit.

Thank you Paul Ipjian for your excellent service helping me buy a car.

I bought a slightly used Ford Flex Limited there just a week ago. Chester, my salesman was very pleasant and not at all a pushy car salesman. I had left my info with him about a month earlier and he called me as soon as he knew a car was coming in with my specific requirements.

So, after getting INSULTED by my local dealer with a lowball trade offer of 40% of the lowest KBB trade-​in (despite my car being in excellent, well maintained condition), I decided to search around and found the Mustang I wanted at Bredemann. They gave me a fair trade-​in value and great pricing on my new 2016 Mustang. Also, it was clear to me that the sales manager takes pride in the kind of cars he orders in — he was especially proud that the one he spec’d out just happened to be exactly what I was looking for. Bottom line — it was smooth, it was easy. I drove over an hour to get to them and I was not disappointed. I just wish I lived closer so I could use their service department…

thank you, thank you, thank you.
Came here not only for my wife’s SUV, but for my Sedan.
Nothing but good things to say about everyone here. they are all very knowledgeable on the product and helpful in explaining everything to you involving your choice of vehicle.
Came in here2013 for my wife’s ford edge and again this year (2015) for my ford fusion.
It was quick, informative, helpful and easy. The salesmen do not try to muscle you into a purchase nor do they lie to you like other dealerships in the area do.
I can honestly say they have customers for life out of my wife and I.

I recently came in to look at a 2010 mustang premium convertible we called ahead and set everything up with Dan the salesman, when we arrived the mustang was outside right in front so we could look at it. When we walked in he knew exactly who we were and what we were there to look at, he was super friendly and patient, we went over all of the features the car had to offer, we went for a test drive and I fell in love with the car. I knew I wanted to take it home, but I wanted to think it over for a night later that night I called Dan and told him I was coming back for the car, he held it for me no questions asked, when I went back in to pick it up he again had it right out front all cleaned and ready to go, he didn’t haggle me on prices he sold it to me for the number we agreed to over the phone, best car buying experience it was fast easy and hassle free. Now I’m picky about cars and when I found the slightest thing wrong they told me to bring it right back offered me a loaner and are standing by their vehicle, I know if I ever buy another car I’ll be going back to see Dan!

I stopped by yesterday to look at a Ford Edge. I have purchased from this dealership before as well as the Bredemann Toyota dealership in Park Ridge. I even told the sales person that I had purchased with them in the past. This time was just a so-​so experience. Seems like they have new sales guys with lack of ambition. One guy said he just started. Also, very limited selection of vehicles. Not sure what’s going on there, but the parking lot was pretty empty. Heading over to Golf Mill Ford where the selection is so packed they park them across the street in the mall parking lot.

Great dealership with plenty of loaner cars this really makes it easy to get your car serviced I also like the fact that I’m getting original Ford parts so my car will last a long time it’s worth every penny

I got a ‘The Works’ oil change today at Bredemann service department. It was a very good experience. The atmosphere was calm and professional. The waiting room could be bigger but it’s not a deal breaker. Also, to get to the service department you pull into the driveway between the Ford and Lexus dealers. Make a right at the stop sign. This place is like a small town car dealer. They will get my Ford service business from now on. If you want a circus atmosphere and ALOT of drama go to the Ford dealer in Niles.

I recently bought a used car from this dealership after having a horrible experience at Biggers Chevy in Elgin. David Ipjian at Bredemann was extremely helpful, got me a good deal and has great customer service. I highly recommend him to anyone shopping for a car.

Wife and I had been searching for a certified economy car. We went to see several at dealerships near us in Chicago. Every experience was a real disappointment. The salesmen we encountered could have been right out of a comedic parody on SNL. Super aggressive, high pressure, not able to size-​up a potential customer’s knowledge or savvy. All the silly rehearsed tricks you could imagine.
We had just about given up when we spotted a ’13 Ford Focus priced very competitively thanks to a Black Friday sale at Bredemann Ford in Glenview. Went to see the car and take it for a test drive without an appointment which was no issue whatsoever. The salesman, Paul Ipjian could not have been a nicer guy. Absolutely zero pressure experience and knowledgeable about the vehicle. Even though the Black Friday sale had expired they honored the sale price. We negotiated a deal that I feel was fair. No hidden BS of any kind. There was a bit of a sales pitch from their sales manager to purchase a premium warranty program above and beyond the Ford Certified Warranty but it was not a hard sell and everyone at Bredemann was very respectful.
This was the easiest car purchase transaction I’ve ever experienced.

Yep this place is a joke!! They think you are lost like them! Got grease all over car blamed it on me! The nerve if some dealers! I wouldn’t go here if they paid me too! And 0 stars or –1 is really what they deserve! Owner is a nut lots of people i know have had problems with them.

When I decided (after going to the Chicago Auto Show) that the Ford Explorer was the SUV for me, I personally checked out 4 Ford Dealerships near me. (BTW, Stay as far away from Golf Mill Ford as you can!) Chester at Bredemann Ford is the best salesman I have ever worked with. (Genuine, conscientious, and hard working) I love my Explorer 4 years later and the service department has been good too. This is coming from someone who had bought new BMWs, and Jeeps (stay away from these too) I am very discriminating and hard to please.? Bredemann gets high marks from me!

Went in today to the Ford dealer to test drive the Edge. Interested in it, but also not ready to buy. We were given MIKE as our sales person, he was VERY nice, VERY personable, VERY real and honest about everything we said, did and talked about. Was not pushy and very understanding about us being unsure and undecided if we can afford it. NO doubt we wanted it, but had to think it over. HE DID NOT GET UPSET, DID NOT MAKE A FACE, AND WAS STILL FRIENDLY and said thank you for stopping in and hope to hear back from you.
ASK FOR MIKE

I was very disappointed — borderline insulted — with the service at Bredemann Ford. Came into the dealership and was directed to the salesman. For the life of me I can’t remember his name (Jim?), but I really wish I could for the sake of this review.
So we sit down, I’m excited to get a new car for my new job and I was very pleasant. I’ve bought new cars before and this would not have been my first new Ford. I say I’d like to walk out with an Edge at a certain price, and if not that, then maybe an Escape. Tell him I’m ready to move on from my Focus. I’d done some research and my price point was consistent with getting a low-​end Edge or high-​end Escape. It even matched prices from the dealership’s inventory on their website.
First, within 3 minutes of sitting down, this guy takes a phone call from his cell. Doesn’t even blink, just starts having a full-​on conversation. Doesn’t tell his caller he’s with a customer and doesn’t even apologize to me after the call ends. I just sat there awkwardly the whole time.
Then, he looks at me like I’m ridiculous for wanting an Edge and starts telling me about how maybe a new Focus is right for me… unless I’m going to pay cash for the Edge. O. O What? This was after I’d just told him that’s exactly what I DIDN’T want.
Then after he told me he couldn’t get me into an Edge at my price point, he shows me cars in their online inventory (not to mention he couldn’t even work the dealership’s own website) that are fully loaded Edges and $ 5−8k more than my price point.
At that point I asked if I could at least test drive the Edge and Escape to get an idea of the cars, especially since Ford recently changed the Escape’s body style and chassis. He then tells me test drives are only for those who actually want to buy a car. I just looked at him and said, «Okay, I think we’re done here» and walked out. He then had the audacity to send me a thank-​you email the next day.
I’d never felt so insulted going to a car dealership. Honestly, this salesman seemed condescending and defensive right from the start. Just an unfriendly, rude guy.
I went to Napleton Ford in Libertyville, had a wonderful experience with a very friendly salesman, and drove away with a 2013 Ford Escape.
