If you want to be lied to, cheated, scammed, and treated like a piece of dirt...you've come to the right place. Weber and his den of thieves had to fold up their KIA operation in DesPlaines and slink off into the night - due to shady and illegal dealings. You can call the local PD for proof of this. Guess we know where they ended up, now. Went round and round with him and the Attorney General's Office and got nowhere - thanks mostly to Weber's inability to admit to himself that he's a crook...and that most - if not all - of his employees follow suit. If they're NOT what I say they are...why do employees there have to come on this site and scam that THEY are customers? Liars, Cheats and Thieves. Want to be parted from your money real fast and get a pice of crap vehicle in exchange? Deal with Weber and Midway Dodge/KIA!!!

WAS INTERESTED IN A 2005 DODGE RAM FROM THEIR LOT.CONFIRMED THAT THE TRUCK WAS STILL AVAILABLE AND ON THEIR LOT APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES ( 3 TIMES THE MORNING OF MY APPOINTMENT TO SEE THE VEHICLE).DROVE AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET THERE AND THEN ( WHAT A FRIGGIN SURPRISE, THE TRUCK IS NOT THERE). SALESMAN "SLIM SHADY" TELLS ME THE TRUCK GOT SOLD AND THAT HE HAS OTHER TRUCKS, MORE EXPENSIVE TO SHOW ME. THE MOST DISORGANIZED GANG OF BUMS THAT YOU WILL EVER DEAL WITH, WHAT A JOKE.

Please, please learn from all the people who have posted about their awful experiences at Midway Dodge!! They take Bait and Switch to a disgusting new low! My story is the same as many others. I see these incredible prices for the exact car I want with very low mileage. I call to see if the car is still there. "Oh, yes" they say. I ask for the VIN number to check the background of the car for myself. "Oh, it's being detailed right now. I'll call you back with that number." I end up calling them back 2 times to get the number and they always have an excuse. I ask for the manager because I'm thinking he will do something about this terrible treatment. He tells me to come in, the car is still there. Fast forward, the car is not there and they try to sell me other cars on the lot. "It was sold earlier today" although they had just gotten the car in that morning (remember, it was being detailed). They have to be stopped. I'm contacting the owner (probably will do no good), the BBB and investigating other avenues. I suggest everyone do the same. STAY AWAY FROM MIDWAY DODGE!!!!

this place plays the typical bait and hook game, which i did not know until after reading all of these posts. Typical, i found something i liked on the internet, needless to say he called me that night and i set up an appointment to meet the following day. Oh guess what....big shocker-they sold the car two days ago but i just talked to him and they had it there the night before!?! Crazy how that shit works out!? i shoulda just walked away but drove over two hours to get there, so i looked at another vehicle. It was lie after lie, empty promise after empty promise. Guess what...my car payment comes in the mail and i have paid two months insurance and NEVER DROVE THE CAR OVER A DAY. all because they couldnt fulfill their end of the bargain. endless calls later and no response from ANYONE. so wat do i do? pay for this vehicle that they breached their contract or tell them( even though i told them i do not even want it anymore) and i will find someone who appreciates my business? i dont know. i contacted my laywers so we will figure this out soon. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!! and all the positive comments...yeah they probably wrote them themselves because no one would ever say they have had a good experience from here! my first time buying a car and it was horrible! thank you midway dodge...you suck!!!
I and my wife just had our second baby and we were lookingto purchase a minivan so we were on Craig’s list and we saw this minivan a 2007Dodge Grand Caravan SXT for only $9700 at Midway Dodge, so we called them upand we spoke to a person named Joel and he said that they still have the carand to come by tomorrow and we’ll go from there. We were there 09:00 and asked for Joel and wewere told that he only works at the call center and he’s not a salesman, so asalesman took us to where the cars were and he looked around and said that theyhave sold the car, how come? I asked, we just spoke to someone yesterday andthe car was still here and we drove 60 miles to get here and now you telling usthat it is sold. The sales man did tryto sell me some other cars but I was very angry and so was my wife, angryenough to file a complaint with FTC and BBB, they (Midway Dodge) will be hearingfrom FTC and BBB pretty soon.
PLEASE THIS NOTE IS FOR ALL THAT PEOPLE THAT HAD OR HAVE ANY KIND OF TROUBLE WITH THIS COMPANY...PLEASE CONTACT ME AT ((Email address removed by Car Dealer Check - Please keep all comments on site))
THAT PLACE IS A JOKE!! Say a 2005 pacifica on cars.com, called about it, tom said someone is test drivinf it right now, if you want it i need your credit card info to put a deposit on it. I thought thats nice I have not even asked 1 question about it and he wants a deposit. I called the next day and he said its still here, so I started my way to chicago, and called half way just to be sure. I talked to another salesman and he said it was sold yesterday, and tried talking me into another one they had in stock. However with more miles but same price!! Turned around and went back home best thing I ever done
I Purchased a 2007 Kia Sedona On May 30. For some reason the van did NOT have middle row seats.I was told by the salesman they were being repaired.Then Tom Skinner came inot the picture and said they did not have them but could get them. I paid for the car in full and did not take out a loan with them.Tom wrote in my contract he would order the seats and include them in the deal at Midwayd dodge's cost. I keep calling up there, I get a different person each time saying they will order them tomorrow and call back next week.I have left numerous messages for TOM SKINNER to call me back he never calls or seems to be able to come to the phone because of "meetings" I have also have my mother helping me call we both get the same old stories and lies and runaround.This dealser ship has the aboulte worst customer service I would NOT recomend them to ANYONE every.It is JULY 28 and I have not recieved any phone calls nor my seats.Unfortunatly not I realize I am going to have to take legal action to get my seats for my van. I am not going to give up or just go away Mr Skinner.
I WENT TO MIDWAY DODGE ON JULY 2ND TO BUY MY CHARGER I WAS GREETED RITE AWAY BY LOUIS WHO ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS I HAD ABOUT THE CAR I SPOKE WITH THE SALES MANAGERS TOM SKINNER ABOUT THE PRICE I WANTED AND THE PAYMENT I COULD DO PER MONTH HE WAS MORE THE POLITE WITH ME AND WORK WITH ME ON MY PAYMENT TO GET ME TO ONE THAT I COULD AFFORD TOM DID EVERYTHING TO HELP ME THE FINANCE MANAGER DEMETRIUS WAS ALSO VERY HELPFUL IN EXPLANING ME WHAT THE GAP INSURANCE WAS AND WHY I NEEDED IT ON MY CAR THAT HE COULD DO THIS WAS THE BEST CAR BUYING EXPERANCE THAT I HAVE HAD IN MY LAST THREE CARS THE I HAVE BROUGHT I WOULD ALWAYS REFER MY FRIENDS AND CO WORKERS TO MIDWAY DODGE THANKS TO TOM SKINNER

Midway Dodge has been super for my family and I. I had absolutely no credit and no money down and they put me in a brand new Dodge Charger. It was an extremely fun atmosphere with popcorn, pop, and a real friendly staff! I have never ever been treated so gracefully in a dealership before. The Sales manager Tom was so kind and so joyful. I almost wanted to cry. I had such an experience at Midway Dodge, who would have though that?

Comment on MIDWAY DODGE IS THE GREATEST!!!
Me, too! I had such an experience as well. They must be under new management or something. I called in for a car and they told me it had been sold and then offered me another vehicle and I came in and bought the car!! What a wonderful experience! If anyone has bad things to say about this dealership it is probably the people they have fired for doing such things to their customers. I can assure you my family has bought 7 vehicles from this Dealership and never ever have felt any pressure!!

Tom Skinner is the Sales Manager and has to the most honest trustworthy individual I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I personally agree with the guy above when he says these bad reviews are probably from ex-employees with sour grapes!

MIDWAY DODGE TOOK CARE OF MY FAMILY AND I WELL AND WE DROVE OUT IN THE CAR THE SAME DAY. THEY BEAT THE PRICE OF TWO LOCAL DEALERS AND REALLY WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO TAKE CARE OF US. THANK YOU MIDWAY DODGE.
It is 9:50pm and I just returned from your dealership on 4747 S Pulaski Rd - Chicago, IL. I left at 6:30pm from LaPorte, IN after calling your dealership to confirm a 2005 Mercury Mariner Stock No. 2462A was in stock. I called 773-376-8060 and was transferred to a sales consultant named Victor who took my call and specifically asked for the Stock No and confirmed the vehicle was in stock. He took my name & number and I told him I would let him know when I could make it in. On my way to Chicago I called to confirm an appointment and he put me down for 8pm. I arrived at 7:45/50 and was greeted by Dave (I did not get a card or last name). I told him I was there to see Victor and had an 8pm appointment. He said he would get him for me, took me inside to a desk and had me feel out a piece of paper with some questions on it. I showed him the print out on the vehicle I used to confirm my appointment with Victor, gave him the Stock No and he looked up the vehicle and said he was having trouble with the computer and returned with Francisco Moyano, Sales Consultant who informed me the vehicle was sold. I then asked for Victor and was informed he was a telephone receptionist and not a salesman. I then asked why he made an appointment at 8 with me with him. It was like Victor did not exist. Then I asked to see the manager and was told no manager was there. I then asked to see who was in charge and Francisco said no one was in charge, just Sales Associates were there. He left and then I called the 773-376-8060 number and asked for Victor. I then heard a page come over the loud speakers for Victor. After being on hold for over 5 minutes I hung up and called back and talked with Joel who acted like he was going to help with the situation I explained to him and after 10 minutes on hold with him I hung up. Somewhere in this mess Francisco offered me a coffee cup for my inconvenience and after venting to him he smarted off and said - "What do you want me to do, make the car for you" - this is some pretty good customer service.After being on hold for over 10 minutes with Joel, I hung up and Sales Associate Gabriel Rodriquez asked if I needed any help - I told him my story and he asked if I talked with a manager - I told him I was told no manager was in. He went to get a manager and returned to say the only manager on duty spoke only Spanish - HOW CONVENIENT.
I could go on with more lies and rude treatment but I am growing weary.
Bottom line, I was given Tom Skinner's card and would appreciate a call/opportunity to discuss my frustrations and the Bait and Switch I was subject to with him. If I do not hear from Tom by 10:30am tomorrow I will call for the General Manager and/or owner.
I called Tom Skinner the next day to only be treated even more rudely. I asked for his boss ans he wouldnot give me their name - said he lives out of the country.
I will stop here.

MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BUYING FROM MIDWAY DODGE FOR 20 YEARS AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS TREATED ME GREAT...SOME OF THOSE BAD REVIEWS HAVE TO BE THEIR COMPETITION WHO ARE JEALOUS OF THEIR SUCCESS...EVERY TIME I AM IN THERE FOR SERVICE THEIR SHOWROOM IS ALWAYS PACKED... I WILL RECOMMEND MIDWAY DODGE TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS....
I e-mailed this dealership on a car advertised on Cars.com requesting more pictures on the vehicle. I recieved a phone the next morning telling me that I should come on to the lot and view the vehicle. I informed them that the 1.5 hour drive is not feasible without more information to see if this vehicle is to my liking. They told me that they would get back to me with more pictures. Two days later someone different calls me back and attempts set up an "appointment". When I explained that I am waiting for more pictures that was promised by the last Sales Person that contacted me they informed me that the only pictures that can take is the ones posted on their website due to soem contract with their picture taker?!?! Anyway my wife and I called on a Saturday to see if the car was still on the lot and I was put on hold whiled they checked on the car and they came back with a "Congratulations" the car is still here I just looked at it. Can you make and appointment to see the car? I informed them that I was leaving now and I will be there in 1.5 hours to see the car. When I got there I knew it was a mistake the dealership needs some serious TLC, no one greeted us we had to ask for some help and the person we had made the appointment with was out on a "test drive". Needless to say one sales guy told me the car was sold 2 days prior and is there anything else on the lot that I would be interested in? I got up and asked for the GM of the store and some guy posing to be the GM just brushed me off. I left a message for the real GM -whose name I got off of their website- and he has yet to return my call. I have ben waiting for 2 days and counting.
PLEASE STAY AWAY!

They were friendly, went out of their for my husband and I. Found us exactly what we were looking for! I will be back again..and recommend them.
I should have turned around and walked out the door as soon as I saw the dealership. It is so dirty and seddy looking. You can hardly hear the person talking to you because they are blasting inappropriate music. I had emailed reguarding a specific vecicle that I was told was there. We drove over an hour to get to the dealership. When we got there the vechicle was there but they had failed to leave out the fact that the car has been involved in an accident in the days before. There was a huge dent on the front bumper that left it hanging from one side. They said it would be fixed at the cost being charged to them. We sat there for hours so they could get us the "best deal". We finally told them we would just keep our car and leave. They said just wait our manager wants to talk to you before you leave. We said fine and waited again. He finally came back and said they had worked everything out and we just had to sign the papers. We waited around another hour while the finance guy complained about how tired he was and how late he was staying. We took the car home that day. We were told we could bring the car back Tuesday to be repaired. Tuesday turned into Thursday and then into Friday. When we finally brought the car in they had us wait another half hour to be told they wanted $3000 more for a down payment or we could not have the car. They never one mentioned on the numerous phone calls that there was a finance problem. Instead they waited till we drove all that way without the plates for the car we had traded in to tell us.I asked for a letter stating that the contract was now broken to cover myself if any cost were charged and they said "We don't do that." When we asked what are we going to do about plates they said "We can't help you. It would cost us $175 for temporary plates" but it was fine for us to risk tickets and fines so they could save a buck. They were rude and inconsiderate and I would tell everyone to STAY AWAY!!!!

This dealership are not only liers and sceemers, they are outright criminals, perpotrators of ouride fraud and other crimes. *My alleged purchase of a vehicle is currently under review by the Illinois Attorny of State for fraud and other crimes commited by this dealership. *They will go to any means including breaking the law in order to get a signiture, get a loan from the bank, then continue to lie and deny everything, leaving the bank holding the bag. *Even if the bank sued me I have nothing they could sue me for and am elligable for bancrupcy liquidation. *I find it starange that any bank still would do business with this dealership. *They had to call at at least 5 of them before finding a sucker. *I sincerly hope they go out of business, for all of our sakes.

Comment on STAY AWAY FORM THIS "DEALERSHIP"
They have horrible customer service! I get the runaround.They are very good at it Louis, Alex and Tom Skinner
STAY AWAY! After reading multiple negative reviews of this dealership on this very site, I made the mistake of giving them a chance. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE! Their website listed that they had 36 cars available which were the make/model I was looking for. I called the Midway Dodge dealership and asked about 2 vehicles specifically, provided stock #'s and was told that both of the vehicles were in the lot. I then made the hour drive to the dealership to discover that neither of the 2 vehicles were there. One of the salespersons informed me that they were at their other location which is another 45min away. I then asked if he could call that dealership to ensure that the vehicles were definitely there. After giving me a look like I had just asked him for one of his kidneys he picked up the phone and made the call. It was confirmed that both vehicles were at this location. I waited til the next day to make the drive to the other location and before I left the house, called and confirmed with the salesperson that both vehicles were definitely still there, he said they were. I arrive at the location and neither vehicle were there. I was told that both had been sold the previous night, but that they were willing to "work a fabulous deal out with me on any car I chose from the lot". I in essence told them to shove it and left. Don't make the same mistake I did and waste 4 hours out of your life. JUST STAY AWAY!

Stay away if possible!!!! I should have known that I was in trouble when the first question that came out of the person answering the phone was my contact information.... I contacted the dealership after seeing an advertising at their web page and I was told that the vehicle was available. I had problems coming to the appointment because I had to go out of town and called to cancel it; while out of town I was called by 4 different people from the dealership claiming to be "the manager" asking me to re schedule my appointment and every time I told them that I would call back as soon as I made it back in town to go and see the vehicle. When I came back I contacted Jack and asked him if the vehicle I was interested was still available and he told me that it was still in the lot and that it would be no problem to look at it. I made clear that I was interested only in that particular vehicle and that It would take me more than 1 1/2 hours to make it there from my house and I didn't want to waste my time..... He said that the vehicle was there and I went......
Forget it..... I was received with the attitude you get when you interrupt someone in the middle of eating his favorite meal when starving........ right after telling him my name he stated that he needed to see if the vehicle was still in the lot and after walking only half of the outside lot he said that the vehicle was sold already..... Then he gets mad at me because I reminded him that I told him that I was there just to look at that particular vehicle......
Phishing advertising????? YES! Honesty dealing with possible clients?????? Definetly NOT!!!!
Do yourself a favor and don't go there, save the headache for something really worth it..... not for these people.
STAY AWAY from this dealership. They are notorious for "Bait &Switch" scam. On top of that they are liars and cheats.
Here's what I experienced first hand, you will most likely experience the same:
You will probably see a low mileage car advertised with a GREAT price on Cars.com (shame on the Tribune Co. for doing business with them) or their own website. You will call in and they will tell you the car is available and they want to set an appointment for you to go see it. THIS IS THE "BAIT" part of the scam.
Once you are there, they will first tell you that the Sales Manager is driving it and is out of town or some other lie. Eventually, they will tell you the car was sold and was mistakenly still advertised. THIS IS A LIE!!!! If they ever had the car, they have long since sold it but will continue to advertise because they know that this car will continue to bring in buyers.
Now comes the "SWITCH". You will now be told that they have others, unfortunately, none will be comparable to the one you want. They will have more mileage at the same price, or more equipment at a higher price!
These tactics are designed to fraudulently attract buyers. DO NOT BUY from Midway Dodge or Midway Kia. They will waste your time, treat you poorly, lie to you and rip you off!!!!!
I email Mike about the 08 Dodge Avenger. He call and email me right back and we when over the car over the phone. I came in and talk to Marco who showed me the car and showed him the email price. This was a e-z car deal for me.
Had my car towed there to get a brake problem looked at - One week and one hundred seventy dollars later, I was charged for an hour of labor, a towing charge, and basically told they weren't able to diagnose the problem and I was S.O.L. in terms of getting it fixed. Just really didn't feel like it was even remotely a priority of theirs to figure it out. In the end, I was forced to sell the car to CarMax after it sat on their lot for a week, and had to take a loss on it for the simple fact that I had this ailing car that wasn't a safe car to drive and no one seemed interested in trying to fix it....And they seemed suprised that I wasn't interested in trading it in for another Dodge!
Terrible service, dishonest staff, and a run down facility. Keep away!
do not waste your time with these guys. I was drawn to this seedy dealership through an ad posted on a popular car search engine. the listing was for a used car with low miles for a decent price. i called the number listed and asked if the car i had seen was in stock, they said that it was, so naturally i set an appointment to come in and check it out. i spoke to a lady named "jesse."
after driving all the way down there i was greeted by a sleazy guy with a goatee (over abnoxiously loud reggaeton) and asked to speak to a woman named jesse. he said she was out to lunch, and if he could help me. i told him that i was there to see a particular car, and he transferred me to another scumbag named "mike." after sitting with this guy for a while and fielding questions like "why do you like this car so much?" he told me that the car in question was not on the lot, and that it was being "detailed." he said it would be there tomorrow.
he ran my credit to see what kind financing i could get. he returned telling me that my credit sucked, which it doesn't, and that "it would be a miracle if i got approved for this car, but that he'd be happy to show me other cars on the lot." i told him that i could finance the car through other means, but was still interested in that particular car.
after arguing with this guy for about 20 minutes about other cars in stock, my credit, and his co-workers disregard for my time, he brings his manager around to talk to me. his manager says first, that the car is on another lot, and then, that the car had been sold. at which point i get up, thank them for wasting my time, and leave.
...i also requested a carfax report of the car numerous times, to which dirtbag number one replied that "he did not have access to the vin number." this leads me to believe that the car in question never really existed in the first place. THESE GUYS SUCKED.
When I walked into the dealership is was like going over to a friends house . The experience was more like helping me buy a car, instead of , selling me a car . I will tell my co-workers and church members all about this company .
