If you\'re within 100 miles of Chicago, call Fields Dodge (Tom Burek)!

I just want to say thanks and give a pat on the back to Tom (The Service Manager) and Mike (The Viper Tech) and the rest of the crew at Fields Dodge in Glenview, IL. These guys are just awesome, I've been taking my car to him now for almost a year. What a pleasure it is and has been to deal with a service manager that really knows vipers. It took me 4 months, 5 different dealers and alot of miles to find a Viper friendly dealer (Thanks Tooofst). I don't mean to sound like a cheerleader here, but I want to give credit where credit is due. We are all rather obsessive about our cars and to have someone like this really makes the whole Viper experience much more enjoyable. I've read a lot of horror stories about service and dealer experiences gone bad. Yesterday, I picked up my car after having the tranny swapped and Tom went on to tell me that he also replced my U-joint because it looked rough and then went a step further and said my exhaust was rattling behind the side-sill (loose clamp). I said yeah I know, I bought new clamps but haven't put them on yet. So he says bring them with you when you come to pick it up, he actually did it himself right in front of me. What a class act! Oh, and I forgot to mention he also attends the local VCA meetings. How's that for Service and support! The above is just the latest incident, he has actually saved my butt quite a few times now. Well, I don't know how else to reward someone who won't accept a tip, so I'll post this for all to read.

It's a real rarity to find service like this, Great job Tom. :2tu:

P.S. - Their number is 847-657-0100 ask for Tom in Service.

Re: If you\'re within 100 miles of Chicago, call Fields Dodge (Tom Burek)!

I know what you mean. I think the words service and professionalism went out the door years ago in favor of more money and less work. I took my Viper to a dealer here in Madison 1 time and have never went back. I won't go into it. That is when I found Collectors Choice(aka snake oyl products) Cory is such a class act. He is the ONLY one that will ever see work on my car. It is refreshing to know that there are people out there who do care and not out to screw us just because we own Vipers.

Kaval,

Wow, your close what color is your car (I've seen a black GTS a couple times, mine is silver)? You should go to "Cars under the stars" in downtown Elmhurst on wednesdays out of 1000 cars I'm the only Viper that's ever there.

Matt, I would have to agree with you 110%, Tom Burek is simply the best at taking care of Vipers in a manner to which Viper owners would not mind becoming accustomed. He has helped me out numerous times and is definitely THE MAN! :headbang: :2tu:

Glad its all been good Bob.I'm on the spot rec. my buddy Tom at his new dealer,cause i'm a son of a gun if things go wrong.Sometimes they do,but Tom's there to quickly recover and make a + out of every -.You'd think he owns the dealership,not.He just loves his job.

Re: If you\'re within 100 miles of Chicago, call Fields Dodge (Tom Burek)!

Yes, I would agree, Tom at Fields Dodge is a great guy. I have known him every since I have owned my first Viper, he is a great Viper Tech... There isn't anything he won't do for the Viper community... There are very few guys like him out there, anyone who owns a Viper in the Chicago area should use him for service, I can't think of a more trusted individual that I would leave my Viper with....It's too bad there aren't more people like.....

Thanks Tom !!!!!
