My Review of World Hyundai:
Customer service is terrible here in that they use deceptive methods to lure people into the dealership. What happened was, I called and spoke to Melissa. I asked her if they would match another Hyundai dealership's price on a Hyundai Elantra. I gave her the price, and she said they would not only match but "beat" the price. So, that statement got me in the door. She told me to ask for Melissa, who they couldn't find and she couldn't then help me so they gave me to a different salesperson. After about 1.5 hours (due to making you test drive a car, talk to this person and that person, etc), the best price they offered was $5000.00 above what they told me on the phone they would "beat". Brian (the owner or general manager--not sure which)offered the excuses: Melissa should never have promised you a price on the phone and that he just yelled at her about it, or she must have meant the price she promised included your trade-in, or that number the other dealership gave you is impossible, etc. Regarding the claim that Melissa's promised price included trade-in rebate, this was totally not true because I had called her back a few minutes later after the initial phone call to clarify that my trade-in would be taken off on top of the price she quoted. Brian made it seem like it was a one-time mishap and they don't usually do business that way. (I'm very skeptical about that, but I'll let the reader decide that).
I have since had experiences with other dealerships (Toyota and Honda and Kia) that did not use such deceptive practices. They quote you a price by phone that they honor. They don't lure you in the door with a lie.
