Darryl ‘Doc’ Cash at George Weber Chevrolet was nothing
Darryl ‘Doc’ Cash at George Weber Chevrolet was nothing short of AMAZING! I recently had a bad experience at another dealership a few weeks ago and Doc made me feel as if the previous situation never even existed! He was on point with everything, from his hospitality to his customer service! The vehicle I purchased was just as he described it to be, FLAWLESS! He even took the time out of his day to pick me up from the airport and he directed me to a good restaurant to go to after driving my vehicle off of the showroom floor. This was a 5 star experience for me and Doc gets a 10 star rating from me! Again, thank You for everything Doc and I look forward to doing more business with you in the future!

We recently purchased a new vehicle at Weber Chevrolet in Columbia, IL. All the kind folks at Weber went out of their way to help us.

We love our new SUV! We'll be back to see you next time we are in the market for a vehicle! (Keith, Richard deserves a big raise and a bonus for his excellent service!)

I've done business with quite a few dealerships and this has been one of my favorites. I called Rich on a Saturday looking for an 8 passenger SUV and he immediately had a Traverse ready to go. Very easy process at this dealership. When I came back to finalize the sale everything was ready to go. I think this was the least amount of time I've spent in a dealership for a vehicle purchase ever. 5 stars

It has been not the most pleasant experience at a dealership that I’ve had I feel they were dishonest about the vehicle I purchased due to the fact it had hail damage. I did not notice it at the dealership it was it a bright sunny day till I got it home and put it in the garage and further inspected it. The hood, the roof and the deck lid were powdered with hail damage. I know it’s not a new vehicle and it’s gonna have some bumps and bruises but there is $2000 worth of damage to this vehicle and I feel like they knew it had hail damage and didn’t disclose it the second finance manager was arrogant and cocky was acting like I was 20 years old and this was my first vehicle I have been buying GM products for over 40 years I currently own 8 GM products after this experience, most likely will be one and done consider buying a Toyota next time

I have excellent credit and could have paid cash if
I have excellent credit and could have paid cash if needed. After I offered asking price and moving forward with a deal, the GM cancelled it because I live out of state and they didn't know how to handle the sales tax, per the sales person. I contacted the state and found it was very easy, one form, and supplied that info to the sales person. She changed up and said that the GM wanted to sell only to locals. Tried to explain that I couldn't find a vehicle in my state, it was between model years so I couldn't order one and was desperate. Nothing. I asked if she, Shana, had explained my situation to the GM or if I could please talk to him to plead my case. She went silent. So I called customer service and asked to speak to the GM and asked what his name was, I was told no to both. Please note that the whole of my conversations were completely respectful on my end. I tried to talk to the most experienced sales person, don't recall his name, and no reply. Okay, fine, don't sell me a truck for cash or with excellent credit, that is between the GM and the owners who I would think would like to move vehicles and not play games. BUT don't disrespect me by going silent. That is flat rude. The number of emails and contacts was less than 10 so it wasn't a case of me overwhelming them and my attitude and demeanor were fully filled with respect. There are a lot of Chevy dealers in this area. I would strongly recommend anyone reading this look elsewhere and don't do business with any George Weber companies.

I just purchased a new 2023 Chevy Suburban Trail Boss
I just purchased a new 2023 Chevy Suburban Trail Boss from Weber Chevrolet in Columbia, Illinois. I have to say my buying experience was very pleasant from start to finish. Their pricing was very competitive, enough so that I made the trip from Chicago to Columbia for the purchase. Shana Vienfurt, my sales person, was very knowledgeable and answered every question I asked. Her expertise helped me throughout the buying process and each step of the way she was honest, forthright and provided me with all the information I needed to make my decision. I am happy to recommend Weber Chevrolet and Shana Vienfurt to anyone shopping for their next vehicle.

Thank you again so much!! 110% satisfied!!!!!

He was very knowledgeable about the car, and the sales process. I highly recommend coming to Weber and working with Max for your next car purchase.

Looking for a work truck online and found one at George Weber in Columbia, Illinois. Basically buying the same truck that I have driven for the last 8 years. No test drive required and sent email at 7:30 a.m.to Weber. Received immediate response from Max Wipperman, Internet Sales Manager at Weber. Provided him with my company information, he provided the Buyer's Order within minutes. Closed the deal before 10a.m. and picked up the truck at 2 p.m. A truly great experience. Thanks Max and George Weber Chevrolet.
