We came to Porsche downtown Chicago on a cold Saturday morning without an appointment. The receptionist was very nice and within minutes Thijs came to greet us. He is very knowledgeable and pull out the two cars we want to see. After a short test drive and get all the numbers and docs ready, we went home within 3 hours with the car we wanted. Overall it was a wonderful experience and definitely will recommend you see Thijis if you want to get a Porsche.

From the very beginning, Thijs made me feel relaxed and comfortable. This was my first Porsche and he truly looked out for me. He's patient, never pushed a sale, and after I bought the car, he was just as available to me if not more. He is warm, has the best sense of humor, and I know I'm in good hands.

We recently bought a Taycan and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Thijs de Kool and Stuart Nelson made the process incredibly smooth from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail, which made us feel taken care of. They took the time to explain all the features of the car, showed us how to use Porsche Connect, how to charge the vehicle, and answered every question we had with patience and care. It didn’t feel like just buying a car — it felt like becoming part of the Porsche family. The whole experience exceeded our expectations.
