I worked with Ryan when I was a Market Manager for JLR. I highly recommend Ryan, his product knowledge is exceptional and he has a passion for customer satisfaction. He was a key component to getting JLR Fox Valley recognized by JLR as one of the best dealerships in the country for both brands.
Milada Rice Henke
Ryan is simply the best. We have purchased numerous vehicles from Ryan, and we always go to him- no one else will do for us! We have found his expertise in the brands, his ability to help us choose a vehicle that fits both our style and our budget, and his immaculate attention to detail are the things that keep us coming back, not to mention his cheerful personality. Ryan always answers our call, and will attend personally to each question that we have. We really appreciate having Ryan available to our family when choosing a vehicle or needing something with our current vehicles!
