Testimonials
Highly recommend.
A lot of learning to experience.
“ From 1984 to 2005 I owned 6 Chrysler mini vans. Then an HHR and two pick-up trucks. I no longer need a truck for work and Chrysler has made many great improvements in the style and safety features in the mini van. A short test drive convinced me another mini van was the choice. No regrets. Many new features to experience. A lot of learning to experience. ”
Best car buying experience yet
“ I value the friendly family yet professional atmosphere that Freedom provided. I saw the car online, called to confirm it was still on the lot and for the stated price and picked it up the next day. Jeff was an absolute pleasure. No haggling and nothing was different when I arrived. Best car buying experience yet ”
He suggested because of mileage.So glad he did!
“ Took my van in for service and had my service writer suggest a coolant flush and injector cleaner. Van really runs better. He suggested because of mileage. So glad he did! ”
Everyone is friendly and sincere
“ I have purchased multiple vehicles from this dealership and each time I go back, they get better and better. Tim Logerquist kept my information and called me to let me know of an upcoming sale on the vehicle I wanted and saved me thousands of dollars. Everyone is friendly and sincere, much better than other Springfield area dealerships. If you’re in the market for a new or used vehicle in the Springfield Illinois area, take a drive down to see them first, you won’t be disappointed. ”
