“ I went to Gillespie Ford in Gurnee on Grand Avenue earlier in the week. The salesman I talked to was Everado. He was able to get a car for us to try out on the ones we were interested in. Everado did an excellent job of explaining the features of the cars we tried out. We were asked what other types of cars that we were interested in and what dealers we were going to next. We mentioned that we were interested in the Lincoln Aviator. Everado went and found a 2025 Reserve II used model with only a few miles on it. We test drove the Aviator and were very thankful that Everado found one for us to check out and test drive. Any technical questions we had on the vehicles were answered by Everado. We enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend him to help you in your search. Chuck & Donna ”
