Default Chi Town HD Question

Anybody have information you can share on Chi Town HD in Tinley Park? Not service just sales. Good? bad ? Drop a name if you have one.

Thanks !!

Dennis Olsen is a pretty good guy over at Chi-Town. Dave is a nice guy too.
As for getting a good deal you may want to try Conrad's in Joliet. Illinois Harley is in Countryside may be worth checking out also. Chi-Town doesn't really move much from MSRP. Had two dealers close up here so Chi-Town is taking advantage of it. Tinely Park and the surrounding areas are money communities. The dealer here knows if you don't buy the bike the next guy is willing pay full sticker for it!
It s just how it is around here.
Most of Chi-Towns HOG members buy their bikes from other dealers because they find better deals elsewhere. Bought mine three thousand below MSRP at another dealer before their were bought out by Illinois HD. Tried to make the same deal at Chi-Town and they wouldn't match it.
Let me know how things work out for Ya.
Good Luck.

Stay away from Conrads extreme low ball on trades and service dept. is horrible . Heritage in Lisle is a lot better.
