Eric and the rest of the boys are very professional, super relaxed, straight to the point, and EXTREMELY helpful. I came in for an oil change for the vehicle I got from them (2008 Honda Accord) and couldn’t be happier with the service these people provide. Highly recommend to give Nelson Automotive your business, you will N O T be disappointed!

I want to start this by saying thank you to the owner Eric right off the bat. He is an Illinois business owner that truly engages in his business, ensures customers are not only comfortable with their purchase, but also satisfied with their purchase after the sale. I really appreciate the salesmanship, communication, and service he provided to my girlfriend and I though the purchase process. The most attractive things from purchasing from Nelson Automotive are the 3-month powertrain warranty, the fact that they go through the car and repair any troublesome problems prior to putting it in their

I have always been skeptical of the used car industry, especially used car dealerships. I shopped a number of local dealers and what I found was not encouraging. I was shopping for a reliable car for a college student and wanted a low-mileage, dependable vehicle. I contacted Matt and was immediately impressed with his straight-forward approach. We met, discussed the vehicle, and he made the sale in a timely fashion. I have now put a few hundred miles on the car and have been extremely pleased. I will be returning to Nelson Automotive for my next vehicle.

If you are tired of dealing with the typical "car dealer", then buy your next vehicle from Nelson Automotive! Eric and the Nelson Auto team make customer service and quality used vehicles their priority. You won't be pushed into purchasing anything extra, nor will you be made to wait hours while deliberation happens out of view. My family and I just recently purchased a 2014 Toyota Sienna (in superb condition) from Nelson. Eric had excellent suggestions of vehicles to fit the needs we described, but he followed our lead instead of directing the conversation. He worked hard for us

Bought our third vehicle from Eric, this time a 2008 truck. We knew there were going to be some repairs that may not be covered under warranty but Eric assured me he would work with me on whatever needed to be done. His technician Carlos did a great job for me with those other things and gave a fair price. Thanks guys!

I purchased a used Honda Pilot from Nelson Automotive in November 2020. I was very pleased with the salesperson (Javier Gutierrez), he provided a high level of honesty and professionalism. Their document and transaction fees are a fraction of some of the larger dealers.
The car has been great so far, they gave me a good offer on my trade-in, it was a great experience. Thank you Nelson Automotive!

We first bought my HS daughter a car here in 2017, then returned in 2019 to purchase another car (different daughter). Recently, we sent our son-in-law to Nelson for his car purchase... that's three cars in 3.5 years / all reliable vehicles with friendly, trustworthy customer service. Matt & Eric were great to work with - we recommend Nelson to anyone looking for a good used car. Great cars & great people - double win!

This review is long overdue as I have now purchased four cars from this dealership. I can not say enough good things about Eric and Matt at Nelson Automotive. They are simply the best. They understand customer service and will go out of their way to make sure you have a positive experience with their dealership. In my experience, their prices are nearly impossible to beat. Recently I searched far and wide on the internet to see if I could do better and the only cars that came up wth better prices had been in severe accidents when I ran the carfax reports. I now refer all my friends here when

I absolutely hate car shopping. Unless you are a mechanic or a car dealer yourself, you are immediately at a disadvantage. Hey, this is fun! We can play "Let's Make A Deal" with someone who not only knows everything about the car they are selling (and you know nothing!), but are trying to trick and confuse you at the same time....yay!
And so, the last 3 times I have bought a car, I really felt sick afterwards, like I just got run through the wringer and got totally ripped off (and one of those times was buying a car from my own sister!)
But, when you wreck your car and need a
