If you like to be held against your will, wallet stolen, family members called to give ransom money, forced to sign illegal and forged contract papers, then to have your vehicle repossessed just weeks later and more CASH demanded before they smash your home windows, then this is the right place for you.
I still have the ORIGINAL computer from the truck they took from me. I also have the original keys and key fob. A claim for false odometer and forgery of papers was made to the Secretary of State against this place. If that 2001 Chevy Silverado Z71 white pick-up truck ever gets sold, its stolen. Has been reported stolen since it was stolen in Wisconsin 7-2010. Joe Las or Jow Martin want that computer and keys back... I want my $2,000 CASH back. If not, then they better start calling Lisa Madigan and all their alderman friends in Crook County. Contact the Stone Park PD for further information and to contact me.
The Loan Approval Center is a junkyard for cars and trucks. They sell stolen and false documented vehicles. Duct tape and wire coat hangers is how they fix the vehicles. Once they leave the parking lot, they break down and the buyer (who was forced to sign illegal and fake documents) is now stuck paying for repairs. REMOVE THE GPS UNDER THE DASH BOARD. It's that green and red light flashing device. Just disconnect the color wires and match up the vehicles ORIGINAL color wires to each other. Then put the GPS device upside down for 3 days. The battery will run out and they can't do anything about it. They can't turn your vehicle off nor can they find it. Check out youtube.com for more info.

Now this place is stating through their attorney that I damaged the electronics of the truck by removing the GPS tracking device and the main computer. They ended up having to spend over $2,000.00 to repair the truck. Um, if they would have just given me my money back like THEY PROMISED they could have had their computer back. As for the electronics of the truck caused by the GPS tracking device, if it was installed correctly in the first place, the electrical wouldn't be damaged. The tow truck driver even said there WAS NOT any damage to the truck when she came to pick it up. I handed over the GPS device and she physically looked to see of anything was damaged. She said, "There isn't anything wrong with this truck. The only thing missing is the main computer." I told her that I have it and The Loan Approval Center is NOT getting it back until I get my money back. She said that was a fair trade. The Loan Approval Center lied not only to me, but the 2 repo guys, the 3 police officers, the Sgt. at the Stone Park PD, and the finance company OWNER (which NEVER had any paperwork on the deal within the 2 weeks). Now this place states they are NOT giving me a penny cause they had to invest money into the truck in order to sell it. Let's see here... the dash gauges didn't work and the odometer didn't work when I test drove it. The truck had a problem starting each time. The GPS tracking device shorted the alternator and battery cause it was improperly installed. AND there was NO paperwork issued to the finance company NOR the Department of Transportation that was supposed to issue the temporary plates (tags). The temporary plates or tags were RECYCLED by The Loan Approval Center. That is ILLEGAL! Selling or even allowing a test drive of a vehicle without a working and functioning odometer or gauges is ILLEGAL!
Then to make matters worse for them, the District Attorney is after them. The Secretary of the State of Illinois is after them. The Cook County Business District is after them. EVERYONE is after them for FRAUD, THEFT, and RECYCLING Temporary plates or tags. The Load Approval Center seems to close the doors, reopen with a different name and the owner/co-owner switch owner/co-owner on the new business until the legal matters clear. They have been doing this for over 10 years now. The Cook County business district has shut them down numerous times. The State of Illinois has shut them down as well numerous times. They reopen under a different name with switched owner names. Joe Las and Joe Martin are scammers, liars, thieves, violent, forceful people and anyone who deals with them will only get screwed and/or life is in danger. They stalk your home, harass you and your family, damage your property, make false claims of damage to vehicles against you, then LIE about charges they paid on vehicles when they didn't pay anything. Their mechanics are lazy, stupid, and worthless. They can't fix a burned out light bulb. They can't do an oil change the right way. They don't know how to change a belt on an engine. They are STUPID just like JOE LAS!
If JOE LAS enjoys putting his finger up his rear end to attempt to scratch his brain which he doesn't have one. Joe Martin helps him by licking Joe Las's sack in the process. These two idiots would love to be in a jail cell together. They would have a field day banging each other. Drop the soap? They don't need to drop the soap. They would do it to each other anyways.
So if you are thinking about going to The Loan Approval Center in Stone Park, IL you better STAY AWAY! They will hold you hostage until you give in and sign your life away. They won't let you leave with all your fingers. Then they will constantly call and harass you for more money when you don't owe them a penny. Their vehicles are ALL banged up like they came from a demolition derby and run like it as well. You can get a better deal from a run down place on the side of the road with better vehicle to choose from. Most of the vehicles on this place's lot, inside smells like some used them for a bathroom. The tires are bald and don't match. The headliners are torn up or are falling down. The engines run like crap. The hoods don't latch. The transmissions don't shift into gear properly. Most of the headlights are smashed. The power windows don't work. Their sales reps have NO CLUE as to what deodorant is or a shower is. Most of them have their finger up their rear and enjoy it so much that they ask you to smell their finger. You can an oil change just from the grease in their hair. I wouldn't be surprised if this place sells drugs or even buys drugs.
THIS PLACE IS A DUMP AND THE OWNER, JOE LAS, IS THE RING LEADER OF A SEWAGE CAR LOT IN STONE PARK, IL. BUYER BEWARE! If your black, have big b***s, big butt, and can flash Joe Las, you get a real good ride in his office. Then he will tell you he will give you a real good deal on a piece of crap vehicle. There is NO deal! High priced pieces of crap vehicles.
