Ethan and Rob at 5 Star did so much above and beyond for me to get this vehicle. Walking in I honestly didn’t think there was any way of getting anything more than a beater with a heater and instead walked out that night with approval for a vehicle that not only so far exceeded what I thought I could get but they made sure that I had something that I could afford and with a warranty that gives me the peace of mind that if I have any problems I won’t be left high sand dry. I would not just highly recommend these guys but insist that anyone looking to get into a vehicle no matter what situation they are in go straight to them. I know like me they will take care of them just as well.

This may be long I thought my car search was over i was taking a uber home ready to quit and this uber driver told me about a guy named JEFF who helped her out so i thought no stone unturned i went up there and he helped me out and then some i had my permit he was able to get me in a vehicle for a good monthly price if you want some one to go that extra mile and get you driving go to JEFF SN: the finance dept gave me tips and is also helping me build up my credit they treated me like family they are not just in it for the money they do it for the stories and memories so if you have been denied other place chose 5star auto st.charles for a fresh start
