★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jeremy Garrett · Feb 2026

The ASC warranty they sell is very deceptive. Instead of a 4 year / 120,000 warranty, we got an $8,000 warranty. Apparently we were meant to calculate the total worth of the car according to JDPower and associates at the time of repair to determine the liability limit ASC will pay before canceling our warranty. We found that limit because over the course of 2 years, we've needed $10,000 of repairs on our $20,000 car because Shemwell's Ed Morse Ford inspection can't detect previous collision damage. "We will be more cautious in the future"... "These machines are loaded with technology and things go wrong"... "No one can predict these things"... No action taken. Unfortunate that Shemwell's lives up to the reputation of most used car lots.

Rich & Hilary Shemwell were amazing to deal with! We brought in our 2021 Toyota RAV4, still under warranty, in to trade for a 15 Ford Expedition. Yes that seems odd, but we were wanting to get something that was bigger for our growing family. Hilary was there and offered us an AMAZING value for our RAV4. We test drove the Expedition and it was exactly what we were looking for. We drove back up the next day after Rich and his son meticulously detailed the vehicle for us, sent it to the Ford dealer to take care of an active recall, and filled it up with fuel! We already had some travel plans for the weekend and drove the vehicle over 1500 miles round trip and it was amazing! I would not hesitate to purchase from Shemwell Motor Company in Red Bud Illinois again when we need another vehicle!

My fiance and I went to several other dealerships. We were tired of the way we were treated at them. We stopped at Shemwell Motors to give the car buying process one last chance. I'm so glad we did! Mr. Shemwell took his time to find out our needs and budget for a vehicle. He found us exactly what we wanted. He stayed in contact to keep us updated on our vehicle. He went out of his way to make sure our vehicle was solid before we left the lot with it. If you're looking for pleasant car buying experience, Shemwell Motors is the place!

Was looking for a good used truck stumbled on Shemwell motors walked up told Rich I need a quad cab for my family preferably 4 wheel drive and my price range he said I have what you need. Test drove the truck and signed the paperwork. Rich is a no BS straight forward kind of guy best experience I have ever had buying or leasing a vehicle. Definitely a repeat customer now. Treated my family like family even set up my 4 year old daughter with some gabby dollhouse while wife and I signed papers.
