gstrayer  - I have now bought three cars in a row from Apple Chevy. They have always, from the first, been excellent to work with, and more interested in getting me the right vehicle for my needs at the time over the most expensive vehicle. I have never had any reason to distrust them, doubt them, or think that I was being taken for a ride. This is, by far, the best dealership I have ever worked with, and I cannot recommend them enough!

pattyhack - My family and I have bought a number of cars from Pat Swisher at Apple. Pat is a great salesman. He is honest and trustworthy and stears us in the right direction. Whole sale process does take a while but it is worth it. Very pleased with my experience and purchase.

Tiffany - Apple Chevrolet is the best...hands down! I can not say enough good things about Apple Chevrolet. Despite living 90 miles away, my family remains loyal to this awesome dealership. We've been dealing with Dave (O'donnell) and Pat (Swisher) for several years. They make you feel like family when you're there, so it's so much more than just a car dealership. The customer service is outstanding. We will definitely continue to use Apple Chevy for our vehicle needs in the future!

Anderson57 - We were very pleased with our experience at Apple Chevy. Patrick Swisher was excellent to deal with. He was very honest, friendly, and did not give us the hard-sell pressure I've experienced elsewhere. He worked with us on the price of the used vehicle we bought, offered us the car's history via Carfax, and had all of the paperwork prepared when we came back the next day to pick up the car. We will certainly come back to Apple, and we give a 5 star recommendation to Patrick "Swish" Swisher.

ranger9400 - Pat Swisher and Apple Chevrolet are awesome. I bought a 2008 Chevy Silverado on May 7th 2011 , and love it. They are nice, not pushy and didn't not low ball me on my trade! They are not like other dealers where you have to sit there and wait for them to "talk to the man behind the curtain" It was a smooth buy from start to finish. If visiting Apple Chevrolet I recommend asking for Pat Swisher. Pat is a scholar and a gentleman.

MaryJo Sokolowski - I was raised on Chevys. When I was a child, we had a '47, a '54, and a '61 Chevy. My first brand new car was a 1970 Chevy Malibu. When I got married and had my first son, we traded in the '70 Malibu for a '72 Biscayne, and for a while, we had a '78 Impala also.
After divorcing in 1983, I was on my own again in the car market. I made a stupid mistake, and bought a used Dodge that I owned for 18 months, but only ran for nine of them. At the time, my brother-in-law worked in the Service Department at Apple. He brought me to the dealership, and introduced me to Dave O'Donnell (General Manager)and Pat Swisher. They worked with me, and were able to move me from the car that didn't run into a used '80 Citation. The rest is history.
As I paid off a car, I would come back to Apple to upgrade. First was an '80 Impala. Then I moved to an '86 Celebrity. Next was my first brand new car, a '92 Cavalier. The last car that I bought at Apple was a new '96 Lumina. I took this car to Florida when I moved there for a year.
When I came back, I lived in a more rural area of northern Illinois. I was commuting 125 miles a day to and from the office, and I wanted a car that would perform better, especially in the snow. In 2002, I purchased a Jeep Liberty. While the car handled very well, especially in the snow, the gas mileage was horrible.
When the new 2010 Equinox came out, I really liked the body style. But, even better, I liked the gas mileage that was promised. Once I got my finances in order, I couldn't wait to come back to a Chevy. And, much to my delight, Dave O'Donnell and Pat Swisher welcomed me back to Apple. I'd been through some financial bad times, and Dave and Pat, along with Chet Palumbo (Finance Manager), worked with me to put the financing together. I was able to get a car loan through GMAC, and am now the proud owner of a 2010 Chevy Equinox.
It's refreshing to have people like this that will go to bat for you, especially in difficult times. When the financing went through, I think Pat Swisher was as excited about it as I was. It's working with people like Pat, and a dealership that values your business like Apple, that make you want to keep coming back time and again. It feels like I've come home, and I can truly say that I'm glad to be back!
