Woodstock Customer Success Stories
Great folks, very smooth and professional!
Olaf is a pleasure to work with. Very professional and friendly. I needed upgrades for accessibility. Catered to my exact needs. Work was done in a timely fashion for a fair price. Highly recommend!
Fair, honest, and excellent service! Edit: Avel just helped me out with my tire and headlight! Thanks so much! Great guy!
I just purchased a handicapped accessible van from Olaf. He and his wife provided a stress free transaction. I was allowed to test drive several. I eventually took one home overnight so I could make sure my husband was comfortable riding in his wheelchair and I was comfortable with the equipment. After cleaning it, it was delivered to the rehab center so my husband and I could sign the paperwork. They truly care about the experience, not just the sale.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Expert services. Highly recommend.
HONEST! This is the word I believe you will hear from any of their customers. What a great company and owners. Olaf was very helpful and meticulous in making sure that I understood my purchase. The quality of their handicap vehicles made it hard to decide. The day I purchased mine they sold two others while I was there. As a family owned alternative to the national company, they win hands down. I would never hesitate recommending them to anyone. Another plus is they provide service to the vehicles as well. They just made a lifelong customer out of me!
I recently bought a van from AMS Auto. They were very helpful and I got a quality vehicle. Great customer service! I drove 350 miles to deal with these people and I would do it again. Highly recommend!!
Awesome place. No issues. Owner is great 👍
Owner of this company acts like everything should be done his way or there is no way to do things. ZERO respect towards others. When you dont respond how you want him to his vocabulary gets very French.....
AMS is a pleasure to do business with. Very honest and upfront. Olaf and all the staff are awesome. Olaf went above and beyond and returned my call after hours to walk me through a problem over the phone. I’ll see you again soon. You’ve just gained a new customer. Thanks again!!
We were looking for a bigger van with more room. Great people to work with.
Incredible service and completely honest! You will be taken care of!
I've had several experiences with Olaf which is the owner. This man goes above and beyond to help you once you have purchased a car from him. Just recently I was stranded in a parking lot due to my transfer seat acting up. He walked my husband through how to get the car into drive as there is a safety feature if the entire seat isn't engaged. It was approximately 8:00 p.m. at night and he took the time out of his evening to walk my husband through it. I have left reviews in the past when I first purchased this vehicle from him about what an amazing experience I had. I just want to leave another to let all of you know that these people him and his wife go above and beyond to help those in need. Although they are not disabled they certainly understand as if they were. They are incredible and amazing people and are very patient kind and they will not price gouge you!!! They're honest and have integrity something you don't find in car salesman these days. Of course they're in business to make a living but it's not just about the money for them it's about the customer satisfaction as well. Trust me make this your first stop shop you won't be sorry.
AMS is always responsive and quick to repair our ramp van. I only take our van to AMS for service.
Olaf and Aldona are very knowledgeable and professional. If you get a quote for work to be done that quote is matched or typically lower. Also if their crew cannot do the work they have sources that can get the work done. If they are available I will always take my cars to them. Thank You AMS AUTO
I had an excellent experience here with Olaf, he took great care of us and my daughter’s wheelchair, adjusting it to fit in our van. I highly recommend him and AMS to anyone who needs custom work for their accessible van or car in wheelchair; follow up about a year later, our wheelchair SUV had a minor damage issue and Olaf and his wife made an appointment that same day, and fixed it in one day, and again were efficient, kind, and even made payment arrangements with the dealer in Michigan to have them pay for the repair. I will always use AMS Auto!
Always helpful and knowledgeable with the attention you would give a family member.
I have dealt with this company for years. They have done nothing but being honest and trustworthy! I recommend them to all!
I live in Michigan and when I go to Illinois I take my mobility van to AMS as I trust the people there and they do great work.
We use AMS frequently for repairing wheelchair lifts on our buses and vans as well as AC and mechanical repairs. I have over 30 years in the automotive industry and Olaf and his team are a Top Tier operation! I recommend them highly.
From the moment I arrived I was happy with the service. Olaf and his assistant were so very helpful. Olaf was very honest and knew what to do to make our van more safer and easier for our daughter's wheelchair. There is no service like AMS auto so happy I was recommended to them
For service on my wheelchair van I prefer no one else but AMS Auto. I live 70 miles away and make that trip because of the extreme trust I have in them. I have tried to go somewhere closer but each time I leave disappointed. AMS is by far the best I have dealt with and they truly care about their customers. I was never sold a service I didn’t need and they have always been up front. Additionally the owners are great people and it’s always a pleasure to see them albeit once in a while. Thank you AMS for everything.
Olaf was absolutely wonderful and so nice I totally trust the service he provided on my car
They have always been very nice, inexpensive (but with quality WORK!), considerate to service needed, and helpful regarding all auto needs and questions. Several of my family members use AMS! Would recommend them to others!
Olaff will get you RIGHT!!
Always polite and very knowledgeable
AMS has always given a fair estimate usually better than the competition. AMS is very accommodating regarding scheduling service or repair. AMS staff is courteous and friendly. I would recommend them for all of your automotive needs.
I had hand controls installed in my car and they did an awesome job and Olaf took the time to make sure I was comfortable with the installation and really took the time to test drive with me .I was very plevery kind personased with his knowledge and he was a
Was very pleased to discover this automotive repaire gem in Woodstock and very satisfied with my service today.
I went there to get my seat moved back and they accommodated me and I can drive without my knees hitting the dashboard thank you very much.
They did a great job putting in my hand controls good workmanship!
Very helpful people he even offered to come to the house and look at the car
very nice peaple and they treat you fairly
Cannonball it
I can not say enough positive things about AMS. My former accessible van was falling apart when I came in looking for a newer used one. Olaf listened to my concerns and requirements and was quickly able to locate an accessible van that met my needs perfectly. They expertly transferred my hand controls and EZ lock from my old van to new one. From start to finish, Olaf, Aldona and Dustin were terrific! They are highly customer focused and a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend them!
