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 couldnt 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.

Matt Vogelzang was above and beyond. I'm just shopping around and Matt was very upfront with me and gave me all the information I needed. It seems like everyone here is great, but I highly highly recommend Matt.

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
