"I cannot say enough about this dealership. Even though I have one closer to my home I choose to buy my cars and service them here. From the moment I walked in they have attended to my needs in a professional, timely and friendly manner. The service is awesome and very personal. I mainly deal with Mark Ashkan who is the main reason I service both my Honda's at this location. He is extremely knowledgable and takes care of me and my vehicles as though I was the only customer he has, though I have seen him with others and he gives them outstanding service as well. I am old school and service like the one Mark gives his customers is very rare these days. This dealership is very lucky to have someone like Mark! No I am not a relative and he hasn't tried to bribe me to write this letter. I am writing this so that this dealership REALLY realizes the importance of good service and doesn't become like most of the other dealerships who think the customer needs them instead of the other way around!
Kind Regards, Ron Trevinio""I have bought both of my cars from O'Hare Honda. I also have only had O'Hare Honda service my cars(approx 7 yrs). I began to work with Mark Ashkan about 4 yrs ago and his professionalism has been nothing but admirable. We have had numerous instances where he has been very accommodating with both my wife and me. He has been very helpful with our schedules and our emergencies. Just recently he was very helpful to a friend from out of state. Mark went above and beyond the call of duty in this instance, but what I've come to realize is that this just then way he operates. He is a very valuable asset to O'Hare Honda! We are and will continue to be loyal customers!"
"Had to replace my 1998 Civic, so started looking for a new car. My adult son and I went to McGrath first. It was the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Hyundai side of dealership was nearest the side we were walking on so went inside and looked around. No one came over so we decided to go over to the Honda side of the street. On the way out, a salesman said he couldn’t help us right then so I asked for a business card for when we came back. He didn’t have one. Went across the street. Someone finally came over to ask us if we needed help. Then left. Eventually came back. I told him I was thinking about another Civic but was curious about another car in the showroom…a hatchback called a Fit, which I’d never heard of before. He began extolling its virtues and told us they only had 2, a Fit/Base and a somewhat more expensive Fit/Sport. Decided to go home and do research since I’d never heard of the car. Did so. Liked what I read. Unable to go out on Sunday.
On Monday went back and asked for a test drive in the Base model. I thought the extras on the Sport were somewhat unimportant. The salesman stayed around for the drive around the block while my son drove. Then he said he had to get back so I drove it around the block again without him. Loved it. When we got back from the drive, he came over and told us that, while we were gone someone else had bought the car but they still had the Sport model. He began to extol the virtues of the Fit/Sport and talk down the Fit/Base. We said we’d think about it. He reminded us that the .90 financing was only good through Tuesday so we needed to act. Decided to look at some other dealerships. Who knew it would be so difficult to find one open on Labor Day? We did look at some other Fits that were in open lots and noted who had them in stock. After work on Tuesday evening we went back to McGrath. Again, stood around. Finally someone came over and we told him we were working with someone else so he said he’d find him. While waiting around, we were looking out the window and my son pointed out the blue Fit/Basic sitting right outside. Our salesman came over and told us that the other people’s financing hadn’t gone through so it was still available, but, oh by the way, the Base Model was a 2012 and the financing was only good on the 2011 models. 2012 models were 2.99% or something. He told us that we had to decide whether the better car or the better financing was most important. That didn’t make me happy, but decided I wanted one or the other so, I started filling out credit application. He took the application and disappeared for quite awhile. While he was gone, we checked the time. It was 7pm. I asked my son to check to see how late O’Hare Honda was open. When our salesman came back he said that another salesman had accepted a deposit on the Fit/Sport, but maybe his financing wouldn’t go through either. So, I should decide whether I wanted to chance it or take the Base model. The good news, he said, was he could get the Base at 1.9% because my credit was good. Then he started up-selling the Base and talking down the Sport. I’d pretty much had enough and said thank you and we left. Drove over to O’Hare (open until 9pm)…got there at about 8. Every once in awhile you realize why certain idioms are still with us. “The difference between night and day” comes to mind. Manager came up immediately and said all salespeople with others but he’d be happy to get us started. Told him what we wanted and he took us outside to look. Not long after, Adolpho came out. He said the manager wanted him to talk with us because he owned a Fit. Told us all about his experience with it. We went for a test drive in the Sport. He showed us all the features. Wanted it. He had us wait for a little while in the lounge and offered coffee. Came back and got some basic information and sent us back to the lounge (with TV, magazines, etc). Lots of paperwork and various warranty options and service agreement options, etc. later, we signed on the bottom line. They took the car back to the service area and gave it a complete inspection. The difference was night and day. Where the people at McGrath kind of shuffled around and didn’t seem to know what was going on, O’Hare was friendly and knowledgeable and all too willing to help us buy a car from them.""I have found the sales, service and finance employees all very knowledgeable and helpful in answering any and all questions I have asked about Honda. As to sales, service for our CR-Vs & finance when purchasing our CR-Vs."
