Bought a 2003 Jeep from there. No fluids period. Had to stop at the auto supply store down the street. Overpriced with hidden fee’s. I’ve put more money into this vehicle then I bought it for.Wouldn’t recommend this place to no one. Don’t go to this place.Every week they need police there because they are ripping people off.One woman went away crying because the vehicle she purchased stopped outside the gate. And she was depending on that car to get her home which was in another state. These people are only interested in your money.

Fraud, nothing else. Selling illegally after working hours, cash only deals. Vehicles are total junk. Wont let you drive either. Treat everyone like criminals. Avoid them if possible.

Is garbage this auction customer service is horrible the owner “Dan” he is a robber i bouth a truck there and they dont want to give me my money back

This is the worst auction Ive dealt with. They have the worst customer service. No one there can even answer my questions. I purchased a car there and they deposited the check without sending the title to me. When I would call to get them to send it out they told me it was already sent out. This happened 3 times before they finally admitted that the title was never sent out. They had that title for over 5 weeks all while telling me it was going out. They even gave me a fake tracking number. They were so quick to deposit the payment but extremely lazy and slow when it came to sending the title out. When I talked to the manager about it he wanted to charge me a fedex fee to send it. He finally realized how incapable his employees were so he agreed to pay the fee at the end.

Horrible service. The man who runs dealership services doesnt know how to communicate. His response was idk. If you call things will never get done, if you show up they still wont. They said out lies release was invalid, and we took it back and at the bottom it explained all companies were one, also they had a car on our account we sold over a year ago and charged us all fees and such, when I brought to his attention he basically refused a refund, said idk and excuse, said he doesnt know how long itll take. And I repeated to him, what he told me if you call things wont get done so does that mean I have to come here everyday to get an answer or our money back for your mistake, he said I dont know. What a joke. Unprofessional. Dont deal with him. Dont waste your time.

Dooo notttt goooo here you will loose your money I promise do not be a victim like me the price increase after you give your down payment and their is a nooooo refunndd

Stay away from this rotten lemon lot. Dealers take all half decent cars before you even see them. Yet they still have the decent vehicles displayed online. Pulling a pure bait and switch trick. Very unprofessional and sketchy operation. People posted up smoking weed before you enter. Police visiting parking lot intermittently not for the activity outside but the reaction to the criminals inside. Steal peoples hard earned money. They literally brought out the same dusty vehicles over and over for 3 hours. These are the scraps left from repos. All were in very bad shape like no one ever performed maintenance.

This place advertised that they had a car for sale for 7500 and come to find out that wasnt true its an auction and you have to bid on the cars. So ticked off

I see some of the same five star reviews at First Federal Marshal auction reviews. Half of the five star reviews dont even use proper English. Obviously fake

Friendly folks. Decent cars, and intermittent concessions to keep you bidding jovially.

Made a purchase on a car 2 days ago and was told that the interlock system needed to be change instead of telling me at that moment instead had me wait outside by they pick up lot for over an hour its been 2 full days has yet to receive a call or update on the vehicle instead keep receiving the run around these are not good people to business with they dont respect your time or money and because of their management they move very shady dont pay attention to good reviews company often have they employees and friends to write good reviews just by coming by to this place Ive witness multiple unsatisfied customers

I have been going to South Chicago Auto Action for 4 years and have been very happy with their work. They always go over things with you and let you know what is needed and reasonable prices and Fees. If things change they inform you and let you decide what to do. I would recommend South Chicago Auto Action to all. Nice place and great service.

Great service nice cars

Do not waste your valuable time your hard earned money on this establishment their customer service is the absolute worst I have never had an experience like this, as a dealership we all know sometimes cars come out bad and titles take a little long to receive but when 2 months pass and there is no title and they don’t want to take the car back or give you your money back that is just plain unethical and ridiculous.

Mean people trying to push roached out cars for ridiculous prices... was told and push out the door and all I wanted was to see the car running up close not from 10 feet away WHAT ARE YOU HIDING........

Khaldoon went out of his way to make my deal happen. the staff set me an appointment and saved me another hundred bucks.. Overall the best car buying experience Ive ever had. Would definitely recommend South Chicago Auto Auction to all my friends and Dealers .. No pressure tactics, easygoing, laid back, informative and to the point.. Love my bidding to buy my cars. Thanks South Chicago Auto Auction.

The worst place to go buy a car they have me waiting for 5 hours after I purchase my car

The auction is cool but if u only have like $1000.00 the auction will not let u leave without buying your registration & licenses plate from them & thats extra $375 unless u bring in your old registration from a previous vechile, that is not expired.. If u c a car at the auction u have 2 wait till aiction is over & put half down, the thing about that is, when u ask the assistance 2buy the car flat out, two of them said the car was sold & then tried 2add $200 on the price... Its best 2 go get a feel b4 buying because they r sneaky with bringing those prices up...

Awesome experience. Thank you South Chicago auto auction for all the great deals and setting up my appointment to see the cars and great thanks to khaldoon for the comfortable/efficient process of purchasing those cars.The staff at this dealership treated us like family and we will definitely be sending a lot of referrals their way.Thanks again 😊

No good, dont shop here

Everyone was nice, pleasant and patient. The staff stayed in contact with me with everything know before when I start bidding . Was looking for a vehicle with low miles and a good auction . I felt confident in purchasing this vehicle from First Marshall Auto Auction.I love it!

Very clean stuff with really cheap prices in the market, the deal was awesome.Great auction cars to work with. Drove three hours one way to do business with them and would be happy to do it again in the future. My salesman, made this one of the easiest and satisfying vehicle purchase Ive ever made.Thanks

Awesome experience! We waleed who was very knowledgeable and took extra time to answer all our questions and to help us use and set up our new vehicle. The gave us a good trade-in price as well, very happy with everybody there we came in contact with. Great place and we will be coming back for sure!!Thanks

Courteous, professional and very concerned with my shoppingexperience. A highly recommended this Auction’s .Pleasure doing business with them. Very friendly people. Responded emediatly to inquiry. Will definitely do business with this Auction again..

This was a horrible experience and felt unsafe the whole time I was there and felt violated afterwards. What everyone said about them not answering any question is beyond true, same goes for their rudeness. They let you see the cars they have in the lot but its to no avail because you cant turn the car on, check mileage and some of the cars hood wouldnt open. After the hour you are to go back into the garage where they will run ALL the cars through the auction even the ones you are not interested in (sometimes twice). They insult you and coerce you into buying a car. if you bid and get the car they immediately ask you to go to the back room Alone (they are very strict about this) and you have to put a 25% down payment. You can not actually purchase the car right away until the auction is over. The worst part has yet to come!! Once you have put your down payment the dealers pay you no attention and will ignore any question you have. At this point if you do anything they dont like (even if its talking to other people there) they will and can ask you to leave the property and a cop will escort you out. So if you did not get a signed copy of your deposit then you are not really assured anything at that point. It seems like everyone that works there could care less about you (even the cops). I will now list out some of the disclaimers they have.-All sales are final-There is a 25% down payment on the bid right away, $99 auction fee, $160 for the title and all the other sales tax and fees that added over $700.- If the car is unsafe to drive or has any issues that were not in the description then they are not responsible. It is up to the buyer to check and inspect the car. ( this is why they do not answer any questions about the car)-You can be asked to leave at any time.-They are not responsible for your safety while on their property......

Great Auction .. (South Chicago auto auction ) Everyone at the dealership was friendly and helpful... Exceptional, honest and professional. Great prices..good deals with this place! .

To all I came in contact with during my car buying experience made it a pleasure...From the top to the bottom all your employees represent your dealership with class...I love the 2012 Genesis. Everyone asks me about the car and I say go to see you guys. You guys are in a class by yourself....most of these other dealers should be selling newspapers on the corner...Not only dont they know the product, but they dont know how to treat people .Im in for good as far as car buying.Thanks F.R. 5 STAR

Newer late model cars its worth the wait and reasonable

Great dealer auction with amazing management. They provide fully functional cars, and great service along with it. They understand their customers. Very organized process in showing cars. They have a variety of car models.

So I went to the auction and asked about an online deal. An employee I asked about the truck told me it was a 4x4, but I could not inspect it before buying, and took my $600 down payment before I could even see the truck. Then the fees...they got me the vehicle for the price online, plus about $500 extra in unstated fees. They do sell to the public at their public auction. But Id only recommend it if you know vehicles well.

The service was great.We dealt with South Chicago auto auction and he was awesome. We bought a Buick LaCrosse and have no regrets. Well definitely deal with them again the next time were in the market for a vehicle.

They responded within an two hours and were very informative. Did not buy the suv from them because it sold.But I appreciate your businessThanks

Thank you guys for taking the time to share your experience with us and for the 5 star rating. We are thrilled that you were happy with the level of service provided by South Chicago Auto Auction .We look forward to assisting you in the future.Thanks

Horrible experience they gave me a copy of the title and when I called them to get the issue fixed I was constantly being hung up on and told not to call back. Place is shady! Someone call the better business bureau on this people something ain’t right! Was the car stolen and now I’m screwed?!

Everything car there looks beat up nothing like the inventory online very disappointing and the call center is rude and very misleading

Excellent service and sales team! All around wonderful car buying experience will definitely buy from this auction again and send friends and family their way!!!Thanks

While we did not wind up purchasing this car, we will definitely be back. Khaldoon was super helpful and nice and very honest. We will soon be shopping for cars for both are kids and Silver will be our first stop.Thanks

Located right next to First Marshall. Their all no good crooks. Dont go there!!!!

While we did not wind up purchasing this car, we will definitely be back. Khaldoon was super helpful and nice and very honest. We will soon be shopping for cars for both are kids and Silver will be our first stop.Thanks

Terrible employee customer service and bad employee attitudes. I wouldnt want to stop here ever again. Plus they rigged up cars sold as is. Makes it valuable to take a mechanic with you when shopping for an auction car. Never will I trust a place like this again.

Buyer beware. I bid $900 for a 2006 Chrysler Sebring convertible. They have hidden fees that they do not want to talk about and only appear in the fine print on the bidders agreement. $225 for one fee, $150 for another and then $450 for tax, title and registration. All told expect to pay almost an extra $1000 over your winning bid and they wont tell you upfront how much its going to be they just demand a down payment after you bid and you have to wait till the end of the auction to find out how much more you oh before they let you take the car home. Admittedly I got the car for about half the Kelleys Blue Book value but its going to require a few thousand dollars worth of work to make it good.

Great selection of south Chicago auto auction and fantastic personal service from Khaldoon, a co- owner. He is a auto auction enthusiast, fully knew his inventory of used cars and provided his expertise to help us select one. He listened to what we were looking for, then pointed us to some cars with the perfect combination of model, options and pricing for our new business.Awesome.. thankf

PLEASE READI used to work here and Im only writing this review to help people get a better understanding of the place. First off, if you are thinking about buying a car from here, dont. The cars are all crap and before they bring them through the drive thru, they jump-start about 70% of them. Next, they dont tell you the fees over the phone or in the paper because the owner of the place forbids it. Its an easy way to get money for him. Also, dont call asking if they still have the vehicle you are thinking about getting or the condition it is in because no matter what car you ask for, they will tell you that they still have it and its in great condition just to get you to come. The only thing I liked about the place was the experience in seeing an auction house.

Went their yesterday because they had a car advertised on AutoTrader! Guess what? It wasnt Their! It looks like Cash for Clunkers! Only less than 5 cars out of several hundred look decent. They dont let you start them or drive them! Who would buy some like that? Kept asking a lot of questions and it seem like nobody had no straight answers. I Guess Thats Why They Call Cook County, Crook County.

Look closely at the positive reviews. They are of one nationality with little review history. Therefore, most of the positive reviews are fake or paid for.I have personal experience related to this auction house. Several years ago I owned a small car dealership. I can attest that the staff are dishonest and shady at best. I have also heard of several occasions of ODOMETER FRAUD taking place as well.

BUYER BEWARE!!! DONT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!This place deserves negative stars! I only gave it 1 star because i could not post this foolery without a rating! Such a scam please DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT buy a car from them!!! Hidden fees, you cant buy the car until the auction is COMPLETELY OVER, once youve bid & the car is sold to you its a $600 NON REFUNDABLE deposit. So many people did not have enough money d/t the hidden fees & had to leave to get more money or just chop their deposits up because they came with only a certain amount. Cant test drive, see mileage or anything w/ the car until its totally bought. Bought a jeep, drove it to the nearest gas station & found the trans is no good!! Such a major gamble that you will lose!! No manager on duty at all! This place needs to be shut down! These positive reviews are also FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place is very unprofessional. All of the 5 star review their probably the workers working here to promote the place. When it comes to purchasing cars their a lot of hidden fees that you are charged at the end of the day. Dont recommend this place. Beware!

A new experience... A good challenge... Good buys...🚗🚐🚛

Our experience was more than we expected. Preview of the car discussion of price was handled very professionally and thoroughly. We had several questions which were answered to our satisfaction. The auction fee was very cheap.

The staff at South Chicago auto auction were very helpful, flexible, and even held the cars for a week so I could pick it up at a later time. They had a great selection of quality vehicles that were reasonably priced.

This place is the MOST deceiving, misleading business I have ever seen.All car that are on their web page inventory are just a bait for you to come to this place, because NON- of those vehicles listed in the inventory are to be found in their lot. Not Only that, there are certain vehicles you can see and check and other that you are not allowed! And the ones you are allowed to see, these vehicles do not come to the bidding floor, Neither You are not allow to see the mileage on the car you are biding!! If you are a first time o want to go there for the first time, be AWARE! Its is sooo freaking confusing that almost feel like you are dealing with crooks and thugs!! I paid $5 thousand dollars for a 2008 Rogue SL with 231,000.00 thousand miles in it!! Had I known, there is no way in hell I would have bought this car. Asking for my money back? Forget it! 80% of their personal carry guns!! By the way, all those 5 stars review that you read here are people that work there...if you have or believe you were victim of a fraud or abuse fill out a complaint with the Illinois State Attorney, the BBB, write to your State representative, Senator, review them of all media channels

Be aware of additional fees when buying! Not posted! Also many vehicles shown online are not available to check them out before buying. Need a lot of work! Buying As Is!

I definitely recommend South Chicago Auto Auction for your next vehicle purchase; they have lots of different vehicles on their lot and great affordable options!

Excellent and cheap

Professional team and variety of vehicles under very good price range.no pressure take a look if you need anything Im here for you Great experience. thats how I was treated. .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is an Excellent Auction with great deals and amazing services. I am very satisfied with my purchases from this auction and will always recommend it.

South Chicago auto auctionWonderful Prices. third time we bought vehicle for our business. Must visit this place for better and good deals in this auction..!!!!Thanks

I have been going there for 10 years to that auction I think and believe its the best. Great worker nice transaction what ever you need is there cars are amazing . Dont let they change your mind Im telling you its the best.

We drove 3 hours from Indiana came to South Chicago auction. We had minor complications with finding cars. The inventory is very large. The staff was very friendly and helped us with finding the right cars. So I had to test many vehicles to find the right fit. The Salesman Aatef had no problems showing me many cars and finding good cars . The pricing was very fair and you pay for what you get. The general manager Mr. Khaldoon was very helpful and personally with us . There was no pressure in buying anything was awesome to bids with . If you are looking for a decent cars at a decent price I would strongly recommend this auction ..!

Overall process to buying a 2014 sedan was excellent, especially Mr.Adnan hepled us like a family,The purchase costs were normal and the same auctions were similar to the costs, finance manager was awesome.Highly recommendedThanks Khaldoon

I was South Chicago Auto Auction with a wonderful auction .. it was a great pair that was waleed to get things done.. the management is also outstanding,very HELPFUL... I STRONGLY SUGGUEST TO VISIT ( South Chicago Auto Auction)

Dont waste your time. They dont disclose the miles on the vehicles and you cant view the car up close when running

Nothing fancy...The people werent overly receptive to customers...Not the most secure facility, but it serves its purpose...

I always get a beautiful and very dependable car from there

Friendly faces.. great place for business.

This is dealer auction I love to go every Friday 9:30 am. Best deal in town for dealer only.

This auction was the best auction I ever been to. Hundreds of different cars and many of options. Prices were good and so was the costumer service. Im glad I purchased my vehicle from here.

Employees didnt understand what I needed and played hot potato passing me around until finally someone stepped in and helped. Parking is poorly marked a the lot is a gravel and rock mess.

Its small auction but they got really good prices

Terrible business i would warn anyone planning to buy this place is a scam. You will end up with a car that will break down as soon as you drive it out the lot. Places lije these should be shut down by yhe local government.

I loved this auction for dealers only.i do buy 20 cars a week .Great auction.

Better auction as compared to others. Low Price cars as compared to market along very cooperative sales team.Thanks.

I bought my car from these guys they have the best prices ever

Purchasing a vehicle from South Chicago auto auction was a real pleasure. Thank you Mr.khaldoon !! Mr. waleed was extremely helpful throughout the purchasing process. He described the condition of the car correctly over the phone--thank you khaldon !! I drove over two hours & it was well worth the drive. If your experience is like mine you will be extremely pleased with South Chicago auto auction . Do yourself a favor and look up Ameer at South Chicago auto auction!!

The best dealer auto auction I go to. Nice auction for dealer .

Great dealers all of my vehicles come from here I highly recommend this to everyone!!

Employees are Rude! They say that they will open at 11 am and that is actually the time that the employees start walking in to remove the snow. The charges are ridiculous. They charge 20% or more for Taxes. this is the last place you want to go if you want to buy a car.

Nice place.

Good place to buy used cars

Went for an online deal. I told them thats what i was there.Got there at 5. They made me wait til 6 for the auction to start. Then kept telling me that they would help me get it but kept me waiting through the entire auction time from 6 until the time I got sick of it and left.I never got the car, they said i either had to buy it even before i saw it, or i had to wait until the end of the auction to see it and i would not get a detailed look until i had purchased it and was ready to take it off the lot. There was no returns accepted.I asked 2 other people that were waiting for online deals and they ran them through all the same hoops.For an auction it might be ok but dont go for the online deals, unless, you are willing to wait or go late so you dont have to wait.

I baught 3 cars and they sent them to canada and they were perfect . im very happy with the service .

All the reviews that say they are awesome are from current employees hahaha 😂😂p.s Same company as first Marshall auto auction, I have 1 word for these guys crooks, if you value your saftey and your money dont buy from them, every employee from security to sales rep crooks and disrespectful. They play with the mileage on the vechials I contacted the bbb and am working with them to stop these crooks

Good deal in and out fast easiest vehicle I ever bought.

Worst place to buy a car. I bought a Ford Taurus from them and the trans blew less than 3 months after buying the car. I just wanted to exchange the car for a different one at the same price and they wouldnt let me. Total scam!!!!! Do Not Buy A Car From Them

Best aucion in Sout cihcago ...Wonderful rides with good range of prices...Thanks ..

I didnt like anything about the auction. They are a bunch of crooks with fees that are more hidden then Waldo.. I bought a car there ( crazy me) because I didnt know how they were and had to borrow money to pay after all the Carmen Sandiego fees.. Dont buy there and ( yall stop responding saying yall are dealer only!!!) Thats a dang lie.... If I wasnt such a decent driver, my car wouldnt have made it from Chicago to Alabama before the transmission failed.. The car had 230 something thousand miles that I didnt know about. They are scammers and I wish everyone would just Google search them before going there.. They are garbage, garbage, garbage! !!! Did I mention they are garbage? Trust me and the hundreds of reviews that they are RIP OFFS! These reviews date back to 2005. They have been ripping people off for 10 plus years... Dont go there, you will regret it!!! THIS I Promise.

Have visited South Chicago Auto Auction not long ago, wanted to sell my mustang but the fee was higher than expected. Checked out other places and came across repokar with only $60. Earned more than $2000 on it. Ill use it again soon to sell my Grand Cherokee

They really push to sell cars. Decent selection as well

Very good inventory management system with quality vehicles. My suggestion is to visit this dealer once...

I bought a 1991 Mercedes Benz back in 2005, I negotiated a bid for $2200, it took me 2 weeks to get the car because after the fees the cost was over $3000. When I picked the car up they had to jump the car to start it and I ended paying $1000+ to fix the problems with the vehicle. You have to bid extremely low to get a good deal i dont think they go low. Its more auctions in the chicagoland area thats alot better, you have to be careful and keep in mind that the price you bid add $500-$1000 to it for all the fees.

Very unhelpful and RUDE!!! When I tried to get a copy of the bill of sale since I misplaced mine they wanted to charge me $50!! I tried to have the dealer that I was trading the piece of junk in to get a better car (I cut my losses with these people) they wouldnt even talk to the other dealer! Beware! Beware! Beware!

This is a scam company. They refuse to tell you anything about the cars. I asked about the mileage on one and they gave me a written speech stating You come to our lot on Wednesdays at 5:30 to view the car for only 1 hour. You are not allowed to drive the car or start it. Also you HAVE to purchase the car you looked at, at 6:00.... LOLThese people are a serious Joke. They are also scamming craigslist, Ebay, and other car buying sites.

The best auction.... Professional friendly staff :)Thank you for this deals

I spent 5k on a toyota prius and this car didnt even make from Harvey to Northbrook IL WORST place ever You cant check the car or anything and they have their own people bidding for them its a SCAM I am about to file a complain about it and I want everybody to File a complain to shut this place down 101% SCAM

Wow, glad I looked at the reviews! I was about to go there today! The car on ebay I called about was a Nissan Altima. I called to ask about the car and why they didnt post the mileage. Her response was the car is available and will be at the auction tonight! Problem was, I didnt tell her which call I called in about. lol

Total waste of time. No clear information and over the Phone they are very economical with facts, just quick to tell you to come with cash.

No can help you at this Aution. Everyone want to get your money as soon as possible.You get a car in aution like $2000, but you have to paymore than you think. Call buy premium charges (about 20% depening on your deal) is lying to people. They dont tell you before you make a deal and sign a paper. They are not honest people I never seen. They are not reatialer or shop why they have right to get extra money buy premium. Also, you have to pay for $99 aution fee. This is me like that. When I pick up this car, I meet another guy is same. He told me they sold car on line price is alway lower than aution. It is true. Although, I know it and bring the paper to ask worker inside. They dont tell me this story. I dont recoment any people go this place. If you want to go, you must be with people know them and becare what you sign. Dont believe they give any help.

Great auctionI will do business with them always

All this 5 star reviews are FAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!. This place is the WORST place to go & waist your time and money PLEASE AVOID going to this cheap place!!!!! you will end up very disappointed wasting double of the money and all this cars are in bad conditions. The Customer service & owners are very rude and unprofessional.

Buy a car cheap or even sell a car and make some bucks.
