Customer Reviews



Awesome service. And great costumer support 100% thanks

As far as car buying goes, very good experience. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to negotiate. I felt like I received a fair trade and fair price.

The service folks at Riverside Chevy are the best! Rod and his team are so friendly and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. Nothing beats "small town" service like that received at Riverside Chevy!

Melinda and Chase were amazing! I’ve always hated going to dealerships but they made the process so easy! Not only was the process easy with them, they were willing to beat the price of another dealership. I live in MO, so they were willing to meet us state line to switch vehicles. Everything about our experience was great. I will definitely be back for the next car! Thank you Riverside!

My visit was a very pleasant experience.

Our experience with Riverside Chevrolet was very comfortable and easy. We had seen a vehicle on Carfax that was on there lot. They still it had in stock when we called to express our interest and scheduled a showing of the vehicle. We drove 200 miles to see this car, for us it represented a considerable investment in time and energy as it was basically an all day excursion. We were pleasantly surprised by the easy going, no pressure manner of our sales person Nick Alvarado. The car checked out as advertised, and we had no difficulty in working out a ...

Professional. Helpful. Excellent communication. Listened to my requests and issues without being dismissive. Will be back to purchase another vehicle from this dealership. Everyone I talked to and worked with was great, not just Nick.

Vehicle checkup at Riverside Chevrolet — was a really great way to start my day! See Keith in-person or visit RiverChevy.com — but be sure to stay local to support our town. Thank you Riverside Chevrolet, Chillicothe, Illinois.

Ryan, Chase, Rod, Keith and the rest of the Riverside team are great to work with. Very customer focused and professional.

Dependable and trustworthy service department. Very convenient in Chillicothe.

Absolutely the best purchasing experience yet!! Spoke to 3 people and all 3 where top notch!!

I am located here in Michigan and I want to take Chase and Melinda and the rest of the crew for the outstanding customer service that they provided for me which I thought was too good to be true. I was pretty nervous at first, but he assured me that it was all good and it happened exactly how he stated that it was every transaction was amazing. delivery time was on point the customer service the hospitality Great salesman I would recommend anyone to purchase a vehicle from them anytime trust them with all your heart and again I ...

Keith is the person that I delt with at Riverside in Chillicothe Illinois. He was very friendly and helpful to me in every way possible. I could have gone anywhere to buy tires but because of his expertise and experience. I chose to buy tires there. I will definitely send my friends and family to Riverside for there automobile needs

Accommodating and easy to work with.

An amazing dealership with genuine and honest sales folks. I felt taken care of every step of the way. They had answers to all my questions. They didn't load me up with any garbage services either. They even followed up to make sure everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend Riverside! They got me a car I loved in my budget without any hassle.

I went in for an oil change and tire rotation. The service was amazing!

Nick Alvarado was very helpful and kind when I was looking for and wanting to purchase a vehicle

Everyone here was welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked through the door. The buying process was seamless and this was the first dealership that didn’t make me negotiate for hours on end. They educated me throughout the buying process and I left with a new vehicle and feeling like family. I will only be buying cars from here in the future. I would recommend Riverside every time. Hands down the best prices and customer service!

Nick and Chase were both excellent, and after sharing my situation with them, I sent them a couple of trucks I was interested in. Neither Nick nor Chase subjected us to the kind of aggressive follow-up that other dealerships often employ. The entire staff at the dealership is remarkably friendly. Between the wife and I we have purchased two vehicles from them within the last couple of months. Chase efficiently facilitated the paperwork process, and we were in and out within 20 minutes. Thank you again.

Easy to do business with. First lease for both of us and it worked out great!

My experience at Riverside Chevy was great. I went with my son because he wanted to look at a car. Once he decided to buy it and was in the finance office, I got bored and started looking at a Chevy Colorado. By the time we left, there were 2 sales that day. Jeff our salesman was easy to work with and knowledgeable of the vehicles. Chase in the finance office was quick and didn't try to push anything extra on me that I had no intention of buying. I told him what I wanted, we agreed on the price, ...

The staff was accommodating! Would highly recommend them!

We recently purchased a car, working with Melinda and Ryan. It was a wonderful experience. They were professional and personable. Even though it was a 90 mile drive, it was no inconveience in view of the great, caring sales staff and a high-quality car the meets our needs.

Outstand deal, great dealership

I was searching for a truck in my price range online, found a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 that I really liked. Contacted Jeff at Riverside Chevrolet for more information. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about the truck. I worked with the finance manager Chase. He was very honest and straightforward. Everything went incredibly smooth. I live 8 hours away so we scheduled a date for the truck to get delivered straight to my house for a reasonable price! The whole experience was fantastic and I highly recommend them, even if you're buying online!

Riverside staff is extremely friendly, far from pushy, and so pleasant to work with. Shout out to Jeff in sales who made the purchase of our son’s vehicle so smooth and simple, and to Chase with the finance department that did so well with explaining all of our coverage and providing us with the best options. We drove an hour and a half away just to purchase from them, and no doubt we will be back in the future.


Nick helped us and was nothing but helpful from the start. His communication was excellent as we had several questions. Nick responded to messages even on his way into the dealership before he got to work. I’m very happy with the deal he made with us and got the truck I wanted. I would definitely make the 3- hour trip to buy from him again.

Service department quickly diagnosed the problem and communicated the repair process and solution very clearly

Took in on time, did extensive work on my 2002 old jeep. Repair bill was what they quoted. So polite and cordial I felt like family! Doesn’t have to be a Chevrolet, would recommend for services and repairs .

Rod Hart and his team do an amazing job taking care of their customers. I purchased a vehicle two years ago and make the drive from Peoria to Riverside for all of my service needs. The staff is excellent and honest with what service is needed when. Keep up the great work.

I never normally write reviews but felt compelled to write this one. I am an avid car buyer, all for personal use. I have come in contact with high end Ferrari dealers and all in between over the years. This Chevy dealership was flat out exceptional! First off this is a long-distance transaction as I live in Cincinnati, Ohio but when I spoke to Melinda Tortat the first time, she treated me like I lived right around the corner. Her response time to questions like pricing, shipping and others was equally impressive. A deal was eminent, so I ended up ...

Competitive pricing and a stress free purchase. Will definitely keep Riverside in my sights when we are ready for a future purchase!

First off, Nick was awesome to deal with. No pressure, just an informative, well conducted buying experience.

I didn’t get a vehicle here but the salesman (Nick Alvarado)was AMAZING to speak with. I live 10 hrs from this dealership and needed videos and info on the vehicle I was looking at. Nick showed me everything on the truck, chips, scraps, scratches, everything. He was great. When I asked for an OTD price…emailed me back immediately. I didn’t end up buying from here but I will definitely call Nick first the next time I need a new vehicle. Again…Nick was amazing. Ask for Nick.

Riverside Chevrolet was a buying experience more enjoyable than I ever expected. Melinda was an amazing consultant every step of the way and her communication throughout the buying process was excellent. They were kind, not pushy, & had very competitive pricing. Riverside went above and beyond to make sure my car was in pristine condition before and after buying. We will most definitely be giving them our business in the future!

I live in FL and was searching all over the Southeast and Midwest for a very specific spec of truck that only a few dealers had. After talking to at least seven other dealers I ended up purchasing from Riverside. Jeff and Chase were both exceptional to work with! From providing pictures, FaceTime walk around of the vehicle, handling all the DMV paperwork (I was shocked that several dealers wanted me to do it once delivered), and the logistics of getting the vehicle delivered (extra kudos to the delivery driver for getting it to me at 8pm on a Sunday), ...

Worked with Nick and Chase. Recently bought a new vehicle with their help. It was a totally great experience in every way. They were patient and able to get me answers to all my questions before I made my decision. In addition the price I paid was very competitive. Highly recommend with no negatives.

My wife and I purchased a used Chevy Suburban from Riverside this fall. We live 200 miles away in WI. If you are looking to put trust in a long distance car purchase this is the dealership to work with. Chase and Riverside Chevy have been great to work with to made sure we were taken care of. Long distance transaction + a trade in vehicle + negotiation with financing, it all worked out great. Riverside is now our hometown dealer....just 200 miles away 🙂

Great people to deal with and in the future I will be back for any more new vehicle purchase

Great people to deal with and will be doing all my business with them again on any future purchases.

We recently purchased a 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 from Riverside Chevrolet and we couldn't be more satisfied with the entire experience. We were able to work with the dealership and get the majority of the deal done remotely. The sales team, especially Melinda, was knowledgeable and patient, answering all of our questions. The transparency and honesty throughout the process were truly refreshing. The finance department, specifically Chase, made the paperwork process quick and straightforward, ensuring we understood all the terms and options available to me. They worked diligently to get me the best possible deal. Overall, my experience at Riverside ...

Best experience buying a used vehicle from. Online price is the cheapest around and they did not miss any details pertaining to the 2024 GMC I purchased. Highly recommend your next purchase be from Riverside Chevrolet.

Was searching for a vehicle for 2 weeks, talked to at least 15 dealers and couldnt make anything work. Found a beautiful Yukon from Riverside Chevrolet and 2 days later had all the paperwork signed. The best part is im from Florida and ive never had an easier process and communication with previous deals face to face. Thanks to Chase for the smooth and easy process, and getting my vehicle shipped from leaving Illinois to Florida in 3 days.

I stopped by Riverside Chevrolet at 4 PM yesterday to see if they could replace the rivet nuts on my Porsche Cayenne for the license plate. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and was able to take care of my problem within 30 minutes. Great customer service.

My wife and I live in Texas and were interested in buying a preowned corvette. It's always concerning buying a car sight unseen but our salesman, Jeff, and the finance manager, Chase, did an excellent job representing the vehicle. It was even nicer than they represented! Jeff picked us up from the airport and he took the time to show us some features on the car. Chase had all the paperwork ready to go so we were able to get on the road quickly. Even the young man who detailed the car, did an excellent job. It was a ...

I recently was looking for a specific vehicle that I located online at Riverside Chevrolet. I’d never purchased a vehicle in this manner but contacted them for more information. I worked with Nick Alvarado. He was phenomenal to work with. Very professional. Our vehicle purchase was seamless and, when delivered, was exactly as represented. I’d highly recommend both Nick and Chase at Riverside Chevrolet. You won’t be disappointed. Scott Benz Iowa

My husband and I had a great experience at Riverside Chevy today. Nick was our salesman, and did a terrific job! We didn't feel pressured, he answered questions, and we test drove a couple trucks. Great experience!

Great from start to delivery . Thanks

These guys went well out of their way to get me behind this car. I can’t imagine I would have been treated anywhere as well as I was at Riverside and by Ryan.

My Husband and I recently purchased a 23 Jeep Wagoneer and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience! From the moment we stepped onto the lot, Ryan was welcoming and attentive. He took the time to understand our needs and preferences, guiding us through the various options without any pressure. The test drive was a breeze, allowing us to truly feel how the vehicle handled on the road. We appreciated the transparency throughout the financing process with Chase-everything was explained clearly. The follow-up after the purchase has also been impressive, with the team ensuring that we were satisfied and ...

Ryan & Chase made the process seamless. They worked with us to get the best price possible and helped wrangle in our 2 wild children during the process. After purchasing the vehicle we dropped it off a week later for a clear coat spray and tonneau cover. They went above and beyond to provide a rental car for me to take home and even delivered my finished vehicle to me! I look forward to recommending this dealership to anyone I know looking to purchase their next vehicle!

Bought a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD from Melinda Tortat. She was fantastic! 100% of the deal was over the phone. Delivered truck to my house. Everything went so smoothly. Chase the finance manager was the best!!! Can't say enough about the Riverside Chevrolet team! Thank You!

Great experience. Worked with salesperson Nick Alvarado. Neither he nor his manager were pushy, didn't feel amy sales pressure at all. Bought a 2016 Jeep, not the corvette. But enjoyed sitting in it!

Very good experience at Riverside, especially Melinda Tortat. This was my first internet purchase and I was apprehensive, but everything went perfectly. Melinda was patient and thorough, and never pushy. Paperwork and delivery was efficient. Well pleased.

I purchased my third Jeep yesterday from Riverside and couldn't be more pleased. Melinda, Nick and Chase made the process seamless and quick. You guys will always have my business!

In July, my partner and I were looking for a replacement for her worn out old minivan and decided to look at Riverside Chevy because it has a convenient location for us. She looked at a Chevy Trax online, but once she saw it in person we realized it was too small. The salesman, Ryan, and the sales manager, Chase each asked key questions about her needs and wants in a vehicle, and our budget, and promised to contact us if they found something that might meet those needs. We started to look elsewhere but hadn’t found the right ...

Ryan, our salesman, and Chase, the finance manager, were both very helpful, honest, and easy to deal with. The transaction was very smooth and happened on the time line they promised. All calls were promptly returned and the car arrived as promised (we were an out of state buyer).

Had the very best experience with Nick! I found the exact Jeep I had been looking for over an hour away from my home. Nick assured me he would do everything on his part to make sure I was the new owner of that Jeep! He did just that and more..above and beyond very great service! When meeting with the Finance Manager Chase, I understood where Nick got his outstanding character. Chase was just as great and what an amazing experience. Yes, I used the word amazing about a dealership!! In and out in 30 mins with the Jeep I'...

Nick Alvarado was very nice to work with. He was personable and worked with us over the phone on our vehicle purchase. He was up front and honest in the deal and provided us with all the information before we made our way in person. Nick and Chase were professional and easy to work with. I would recommend Riverside to those looking for a new vehicle!

Melinda was outstanding and made the sale very easy. I live in Ohio and she made everything seamless. I am very happy with my vehicle and would recommend this dealership to others.

Nick and everyone at Riverside were great. Answered any question I had and earned my trust. Went above and beyond, including staying past closing time to complete my purchase on my schedule. Tried to accommodate my preferences to earn my business. They succeeded! Highly recommend them.

To be honest you are not only an amazing account manager but also a fantastic human being. I am always grateful for your tremendous support, you really brought me out of poverty, weeks back I was reading some comments and reviews I saw so many comments review but God directed me to a post name Mrs. Jennifer Smith where I took the phone number and she directed and helped me on how to invest so with that fear in my heart I Decided to start with $1,500 in 6 days time I got $17,000 thanks so much for everything ma'am, I really ...

Got me in quickly and took care of tire questions. Seemed very thorough and gave good recommendations.

Found the GMC Sierra 2500HD online that I had been looking for. The wonderful young sales lady, Melinda Tortat and the finance manager, Chase were fantastic to work with. From the first call, to the ride from the airport, to the tour of my new truck, and even the follow up phone calls. These folks were top notch, first class, and everything that I could have wanted in a car buying experience. I would definitely buy from Riverside Chevrolet again.

Excellent service department.

We had a very pleasant buying experience. Ryan and Chase were great to work with getting a deal done for our Silverado purchase. Riverside Chevrolet has a small town family friendly atmosphere which is exactly what we were looking for in a dealership

Chase Wilkins is awesome. He and the dealership provided the best customer service I’ve had in a very long time. Great communication and a quick, hassle free experience. I’m definitely calling Chase for my next Chevy.

I was visiting Peoria when my 2019 Chevy 3500 diesel truck went into reduced power mode with a check engine light. I limped into Riverside Chevy at 2 pm on my way home I live 2 hours north of Chillicothe. Rod Hart and his service technicians quickly diagnosed the problem. They had the parts and got it fixed and got me on the road by 5:30 pm. Outstanding!

Jeff F. was wonderful to deal with. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant!

I decided to go here for my first car long story short not knowing where to start or even begin. Lets just say i showed Chase Wilkins the kind of car I was even looking at and it is definitely safe to say he had it ready for me to walk out the door that same night! Great customer service from both him and Jeff, They are amazing and would recommend them to friends, family, etc!

I purchased a 2014 Silverado at Riverside Chevrolet. My salesman was Jeff Furkin. Jeff was amazing to work with, he was very quick to respond to phone calls and text messages. I also worked with Chase Wilkins in the Finance Dept. Chase was also amazing to work with. Chase was also very quick to answer question and return phone calls and Text messages. My purchase and trade was done over the phone. I drove to the dealership to finalize the paperwork. With doing most of the deal over the phone we spent minimal time in the dealership. Everyone at this Dealership ...

Everything with my new mailbu went smoothly thanks to Melinda and chase thanks so much Barry

I brought my car in leaking gas and when the needed part was ordered Rod Hart found the part would not be delivered for three months. He went above and beyond and found the needed part on Ebay. The part was delivered this past Saturday and my car was done on Monday. I couldn't be more impressed and thankful for Rod Hart, the Service Advisor and the mechanic who fixed my car. If you are looking for a dealership with integrity please go to Riverside Chevrolet.

Nice cars and dependable sales reps

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a 2024 Chevy Equinox at Riverside Chevrolet, and I must say, the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the moment We stepped onto the lot, We were greeted warmly by the staff, and it was evident that customer satisfaction was their top priority. The Sales Rep Melinda Tortat and the Sales Manager Keith Frick played an integral role in making our car-buying experience seamless and enjoyable. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the vehicles on offer and took the time to understand our needs and preferences. Melinda's professionalism and friendly demeanor ...

I had an excellent experience with this dealership! I purchased a 2021 Ram Limited 4x4 (amazing truck!). My sales associate was Melinda, and she couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful. I was calling from Madison, WI, and she sent me a video and photos of the truck. I purchased it over the phone, wired the money, and they delivered the truck to my home in Madison. The driving team (Caren and Jim) delivered the truck spotless and full of gas. The truck is everything I was looking for. The price was fair, and the buying exerience was awesome. ...

Melinda was amazing to work with. I live in Michigan and she made everything happen just as she said. Chase was also right to the point. Even though I'm out of state I wouldn't think twice about going back there fir my next vehicle...they have my business for life...everyone there Is amazing

Had an amazing experience here! Was just going to look for a car and my car broke down completely on way there. It was an overall stressful day but the staff were amazing! Chase and Ryan were both phenomenal, and chase did everything he could to get exactly what I wanted with the price and how much I pay monthly! Ryan found the perfect car and helped me with everything along the way! They were amazing and made sure I was taken care of! Would definitely recommend

Very nice and got me in fast in between all their other services. Was patient with me while I gathered my information as well. Thank you Rod for your help and great service!

My dad purchased a 2024 Equinox from Riverside today. Melinda and Keith made it a very pleasant experience. They really took the time to listen to us. And they never pushed anything on us to make extra. Riverside is the place to go thank you guys so much.

The entire staff at Riverside Chevrolet was unbelievable throughout the entire process. Extra “Thank You” to Melina and Keith for the extra time and effort they put in for me and my family. We will definitely buy from Riverside again.

Had a great experience with purchasing my sons first car from riverside...I had been looking for something for my son and Ryan went above and beyond in helping me find a car for him.... Hes a great guy, friendly, excellent communication, and very helpful in finding a car to fit your needs. The process went very smoothly and stress free.. Thank you to Chase also!!! I'm very pleased and would recommend this dealership to others!!

I've got a similar experience to several of the other recent posts. This summer I was looking to purchase a very specific car model and trim level. It was hard to locate anywhere in my part of the country. Riverside had one posted online and it was one of the most competitively priced options in the whole country. I sent an inquiry and got an immediate response from Chase Wilkins. My experience with Chase was exactly as described by others. Great guy. Super responsive. Quick to text, jump on a call, send pics, get on a video call, or ...

The owner the management and all the staff are very friendly !

Fast service nice staff

I live out of State and purchased my 2022 F150 truck from them. Was able to have it delivered to my door. The salesmen did a walk around video for me and answered my questions and took care of my request.

In my opinion… It’s not how you’re treated when things are going well it’s how things are handled when issues come up. And I will say in the 35 years I’ve been purchasing vehicles, this dealership stands at the top of the list for taking care of their customers, Showing integrity, and just all out doing the right thing as good human beings should be doing. They will have a crack at every single vehicle I buy in the future because of how they conduct business! Thanks Ryan!!!

If you are needing to buy a car - go to Jeff Furkin. We purchased a Chevy Cruze from him. He was so very helpful to us - even offering to drive us to the Peoria airport to return our rental car. He called his wife to say he would be a little late for dinner - took us to the airport & then back to the dealership to pick up our newly purchased used car! We love the car and the wonderful help from Jeff Furkin!!!

I had been searching for a particular car for over a year, a Plymouth Prowler. Finally found exactly what I was looking for but leery of buying a car online. This one was located at Riverside Chevrolet in Illinois. I was pleased to see that they had excellent customer feedback and reached out. I was very quickly responded to by Chase. I would HIGHLY recommend this dealership and especially Chase. I don’t know what it is with a lot of dealerships today, but so many won’t even respond at all to requests for more information. I had the ...

I found the truck I had been searching for, for months at Riverside. It was one of, if not the best deals in the country! I had the pleasure of working with Chase. This was by far the best, smoothest, friendliest, car buying experience I've ever had! Highly recommend Chase and all the folks at Riverside Chevy. If I'm in the market for another vehicle, they will be my go to dealership.

Great service from a hometown business!
