I started my process over the internet with Jacob, who was incredibly helpful but also very patient. I really hate talking on the phone and didn't want to go back and forth with anyone on the phone; Jaco was incredibly helpful but also very patient. I really hate talking on the phone and didn't want to go back and forth with anyone on the phone; Jacob understood this and was very willing to communicate with me strictly over email. We set up a time that I could come in and have my trade in looked at. Jacob was great to work with and not at all pushy which is kind of what I expected since it is a car dealership. When I went into Toyota, the first person I met was Steve. He was so easy to work with! He took me out for a test drive right away and explained all the different features on the car while we were going. Once we returned to the dealership, the process was smooth and relatively quick for buying a car. Steve is incredibly amiable and so easy to work with. For the financing part of the process, I worked with Jason (who also helped me set up the Bluetooth in the car). He's relatively new to the finance department but was still a pleasure to work with. This was the time that I expected to be bombarded with add ons and different offers but I wasn't. Jason explained each of the options to me and then just took my answer; he never once tried to push me into doing something I didn't want to do. Overall, my experience was a great one and I'll definitely recommend Oak Lawn Toyota to everyone I know looking to buy a car. I've always used them for maintenance on my car but now I'll use them whenever I'm looking to purchase too! More

My husb Toyota. My husband and I were treated with courtesy and respect both times. Steve Barrix is a true gentleman and a very discerning person. My husband is very impressed with only having to bring his 2011 Scion XD in for two oil changes and no other problems or adjustments. We purchased a 2013 Scion XB this time. I have wanted one for a long time and am very happy about it. It has a smooth ride, is easy to get in and out of and is also quite comfortable. I am also looking forward to spending less money on gasoline. More
