Saturn To Close, Tom Sparks To Service The Cars We Sell
October 3rd, 2009
Earlier this week a spokesman for General Motors officially announced what had been expected for some time: Saturn will cease its operations in Canada on or before December 31, 2009.
“This is very disappointing news and comes after months of hard work by hundreds of dedicated employees and Saturn retailers who tried to make the new Saturn a reality,” said CEO Fritz Henderson in a statement, commenting that the issue was that Penske Automotive Group could not solidify a deal with another automaker to supply vehicles after the contract with GM was scheduled to run out.
At Tom Sparks Auto we are not surprised at all with this announcement. GM has been pushing ahead with a predetermined plan using the government’s money and their blessing for some time. So with one big sweep General Motors will have it their way. We will adapt as we continue to sell cars the way we always have: priced right with the highest quality cars that we can find.
We would like the fine folks of Northern Illinois and the surrounding area of Dekalb to know that with Pontiac closing and now Saturn in tow, that we will still service the cars that we have sold in the past. We will also continue to have them available for sale. We have already gone through this once with Oldsmobile. The value of Old’s did NOT fall off one, two, even three years after the closing of Oldsmobile. Three years after the Old’s closer, the Achiva’s value was that of it’s cousin the Grand Am. Therefore, the person that bought an Achiva didn’t lose any trade-in value.
Just because the makers of these fine automobiles are no longer in business doesn’t mean the cars already in service go bad over night. They were made by hard working American men and women who did a quality job for a quality product. At Tom Sparks Auto we will continue to stock parts to service the cars we have sold in the past.
Saturn was meant to be a warm and fuzzy car company, one that invited customers to annual events at its plants and sent buyers birthday cards on the anniversaries of their purchases. It featured low-key showrooms and no-haggle prices, part of its “a different kind of car company” slogan. But the brand struggled to make money, and receded into the background as GM focused on higher profit SUVs and trucks.
Anyone that has done business in the past will tell you that we try to make it a warm and fuzzy experience here at our location at 216 S. First Street in Dekalb, IL. We are the little store with low overhead and a low price. Stop by today and let us give you a hand with your automotive needs.

Tom Sparks Automotive: The largest Used Buick Dealer In Dekalb Illinois Near Chicago
August 29th, 2009
At Tom Sparks Automotive of DeKalb, Illinois, (near Sycamore), we have had a love affair with the Buick Motor division for more than 75 years. Adli Schultz started the business many years ago in Hinckley, Illinois. He later moved it to DeKalb, Illinois. Tom Sparks purchased the dealership in 1989. He continues to sell cars the old fashioned way, with a smile and a hand shake.
My name is Tim Jennings. I have been working for the company since 1994. Since that time I have seen many cars come and go. The most common cars on our lot are still the Buicks. The Buicks have been called a Farmers Cadillac. As part of their livelihood, a farmer has to research and buy all kinds of machinery. In this area, one of our best customer segments have been the farming community. They get quality at a good price. That’s what Buick brings to the table, a quality car at a fair price. From the 2000 Buick Century to the 2010 Enclave, we try to stock a good selection of quality used cars and trucks.
According to Edmunds.com: “At heart, though, the Lucerne is still a traditional Buick sedan. It’s a front-wheel-drive, full-size car in which passenger comfort takes top priority. Seating is spacious and luxurious in both the front and rear, and Buick’s “Quiet Tuning” measures, which cover everything from the thickness of the carpet padding to the design of the windshield wipers, makes the Lucerne one of the quietest cars on the market. Soft suspension tuning results in a plush, absorbent ride”.
You can find our Buick Lucerne stock by clicking here.
According to Cars.com the LaCrosse has great value, too.
Apart from the portholes on each front fender, dual exhaust tips and a small rear spoiler, the LaCrosse Super looks much like the other trims. At 198.1 inches long, it’s longer than both the Milan and the 300. With a front bench seat, an uncommon offering in this class, the LaCrosse can seat up to six. A five-seat model with front bucket seats is also available. The top-of-the-line Super gets a silver-colored center stack and unique gauges. The LaCrosse has roughly the same interior volume as the Milan.

With our rich history one thing you can be sure of is that Tom Sparks Auto will always have a good selection of Buicks. Our mechanics will always be able to service what we sell after the manufacturers warranty is up.
