To:Dave Hart
"I wanted to take the time to personally thank you for assisting Janet an I with our purchase of the 2011 MKX. We were very impressed with your professionalism and courtesy shown towards us. We have purchased numerous vehicles at various dealerships throughout central Illinois. Your performance was ‘head and shoulders’ above the rest, particularly in regard to explaining and illustrating the vehicle options. You SOLD the vehicle as I was leaning towards keeping the BMW. I hope you have the opportunity to ‘make the sale’ on our trade-in as it is truly an excellent vehicle. We’re glad we were able to be your 1st sell in September. The roses were a nice touch too, although I received nothing but a new promissory note!"

-Rebecca Alexander
To:Alex McBride
"Alex was very courteous and professional. We love our 2010 Grand Caravan! We challenged Alex (who is no relation to us) and provided our specifications for a vehicle that would accomodate comfort, luxury, and cargo space. Within minutes, Alex let us test drive the Grand Caravan. We shopped around for a week, and found that Alex had the right choice all along. He is pleasant and has great knowledge of the products. "

"Such a fantastic person. We sent our daugher Lea to George because we trusted him. We in turn bought a 300 which my husband loves. And the greatest testament was when we placed our youngest daughter Jourdan, her husband Mike and 1 yr. old twin grandaughters in George's hands."

"I bought a 2006 dodge mega cab(dk blue) on febuary 4, 2009 and i want to say jason was a very freindly salesman and the rest of the staff did everything they could to make us comfortable after we drove 5 hours to get this truck that i seen on the internet. I would make the trip again if i needed another vehicle and it was on your lot. Thanks for the way you guys over there treated me."
-John Behringer
To: George Park
"We had a very pleasant experience buying our new car. Geroge Park was an excellent salesman who listened and responded to our needs. There was no pressure, and the dealership was very accomodating, despite being very busy that day. We were treated like VIP's. I would recommend Bob Ridings and George Park to anyone looking for a vehicle."
-Charles and Barb Stobaugh, Decatur, IL
To:Jason Gischow
"I had seen the beautiful used Hummer on your lot through your internet ad, but after having been lied to by three other car dealers (none of them were owned by Bob Ridings), I felt like the vehicle was again too good to be true. I was totally surprised when all I had been told by Jason Grischow turned out to be true! My husband is very picky and rather skeptical when it comes to choosing another car and where he buys from, but even he was quickly won over by the honesty of this dealership. We were not pressured to buy, but were worked with to come to a mutual agreement on price. Needless to say, after a year and a half search for our next car, we came to Decatur and got what we were finally looking for. We plan to return when we are in the market for a new farm truck. My husband and I will definitely recommend this dealership and salespeople to our family and friends. Thank you so much!"
-Vickie Young, Dawson, IL
To: Jason Grischow

"We have dealt with many dealerships in central IL and we had the best experience by far, here at Bob Ridings in Decatur! Our initial contact was via the internet and then when we got to the dealership, everything was fast and smooth. Dave showed us all of the features on the vehicle and took us around to meet all of the staff. We were so impressed that Larry Grischow came to meet us too. We are looking forward to a long term relationship and will continue to shop here. Thanks for the great pricing and customer service!"

"My experience with Bob Ridings internet salesman
Jason Grischow, and Sales Consultant Dave Hart was good. I purchased a very nice used vehicle at a great price. The sales staff was courteous and I was impressed that the owner took the time to come out and introduce himself and shake our hands. The long stem roses for me and the camo hat for my husband were both a nice bonus. Nice touches like this make you wonder why you would ever purchase from another dealer."

In need of getting it fixed immediately, to further our trip for Christmas; we were referred to Mr. Cloyd by a family friend. We were at the dealership by 7:15AM. Mr. Cloyd work us in, fixed the van, and we were on our way by 9:30AM. We are very grateful for his help. Had it not been for the kindness Charlie extended to us; we would have missed Christmas with our daughter and our new grandchild."
