Atlantic Hyundai

I lost my beloved 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring during I lost my beloved 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring during hurricane Sandy. The car was totaled by my insurance company. Since we had no power, heat, or I lost my beloved 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring during hurricane Sandy. The car was totaled by my insurance company. Since we had no power, heat, or transportation at Rockaway Beach, NY, getting a car is one of my top priority needs since it took me close to four hours to get to work with no subway services. In my car hunting experience, I received many awesome offers via email among others from Brooklyn Giuffre Hyundai who claimed on the email that they will take among others (this is straight copy and paste from their email): -$6,000 OFF THE DEALERS POSTED PRICE! -Get deferred payment for up to ONE YEAR! -Get 50% OFF payments through President's Day 2013! -Get financing as low as 0% for up to 60 MONTHS! Additionally, if you lost a vehicle due to the storm you can also take advantage of the following: -$750 Disaster Assistance Rebate directly from Hyundai (requires proof of loss) -Giuffre Hyundai will cover your deductible for up to $1,000 (should you choose to purchase from us) When I visited the dealer on Friday (11/23) during the black Friday sales event, it was clear that it was bait and switch ploy. They wouldn't honor any of the offer. They had a blue 2012 Hyundai Touring priced at around 19K but when I stated I can't put down more than $2000, the price went up to over $24K. OK.. so I said let's take the $6000 off the dealer price you just gave and they spun me on that offer as well. The zero percent financing is just not possible unless you have stellar credit. They couldn't even give me what percentage range on the financing and was confused about paying my deductible. The sales person wanted to keep the email since apparently they have no clue what their Internet sales was offering. I gave them my phone number and left. No wonder they scored an "F" at the NY Better Business Bureau. Then I got this email and voicemail from Erin (?) at Atlantic Hyundai. A little out of the way at West Islip but she was able to give me a definite price over the phone but obviously financing can't be calculated until they ran a credit check. Fair enough. A good friend of mine drove my wife and I to Atlantic Hyundai where we met Tom Maiorini. Tommy was a no-nonsense sales person who worked extremelly quick. Never once do I feel I am being given a run-around. All the answers were honest and direct. He was clear on what they can or cannot extend me as an offer. He honor the price that I received over the phone (Erin, the lady who I spoke with on the phone was off that Saturday bit she left a bunch of notes on the computer regarding the call). The price was honored, the hurricane assistance was extended and I even got an unbelievable interest rate on their financing. Working with Kenny on the financing was an unbelievable great experience. Originally I was extended a 1.9% rate but after I indicated I can afford a little higher monthly payment they reduced my loan term to 4 years, the interest went further down to 0.9% (thank you Kenny!) I was able first hand to see how they treat all their customers in the huge show rooms. We were all treated so well to include an early dinner (Chinese buffet and later on followed by Pizza). Jokingly I mentioned about not being sure being able to give good review since I can't find a coffee pot in the show room (I am a coffee addict). I just cannot believe how painless and easy my car buying experience was at Atlantic Hyundai. I mentioned to my wife, it is clear why this company earned an "A" rating from the Better Business Bureau. Thank you Atlantic Auto Mall, thank you Tom Maiorini. If I were Hyundai head quarters, I would keep dealers such as Atlantic on the books and weed off all the other jokers who gives Hyundai a bad name. No doubt my experience in this place would make me recommend Atlantic hyundai to my friends and family. Raoul Watson, Rockaway Beach, NY More

This was our first time leasing. After we had picked out the new car, did a ton of paperwork , traded in another car , and basically spent all day on this, we were told to fork over another $2600 in fees. the new car, did a ton of paperwork , traded in another car , and basically spent all day on this, we were told to fork over another $2600 in fees. We were never told this. Gary blamed Frank and Frank blamed Gary. They should have at least given us an estimate. Frank claimed he told us all about the fees. He did not there were three of us there and none of us heard this. Sorry, I need better communication with people I do business with. For this reason, I will nor recommend this dealership. More

I cannot say enough good things about Atlantic Hyundai, especially Gregg Makinajian. From the minute I sat down with him he was understanding, easy to talk to and most of all he listened. From beginning especially Gregg Makinajian. From the minute I sat down with him he was understanding, easy to talk to and most of all he listened. From beginning to end my experience was easy. With all the craziness that has happened since Hurricane Sandy, I finally feel that getting back on the road is the beginning of some normalcy. I'd like to thank everyone at Atlantic Hyundai for making this experience easy. I also want to vote for Gregg as employee of the year!!!!!!!!! More
