Brandon Hyundai

This dealership is why people don't trust car dealers and hate buying cars! I bought a 2023 Hyundai Palisade on 10/27/25 and have had an absolutely terrible experience. They can't be trusted to do what they hate buying cars! I bought a 2023 Hyundai Palisade on 10/27/25 and have had an absolutely terrible experience. They can't be trusted to do what they promise, and they don't return texts, emails, or phone calls. To summarize, I found the car online and negotiated the price over the phone a few days before I wanted to pick it up. I stressed to Krystle Mendez (salesperson) and Valen Tenney (sales manager) that I was flying into Tampa, and wanted to have the car ready to go when I got there from the airport. I signed all documents electronically a few days in advance, and was promised by Valen that a salesperson would pick me up at the airport with my car, I could test drive it to the dealership, then be on my way. No one showed up, and I finally arrived at the dealership by Uber 45 minutes later. I then waited at Krystle's desk for a full 2 hours while the car was cleaned and prepped. After the test drive, I waited another 1/2 hour until I could finish up. I only then learned the car came with only one key. I told them I would need a second, and Valen told me he would put me in touch with a locksmith, which he didn't do. I asked if the dealership would cover the cost of the key since they'd wasted so much of my time, to which he said that this was a very reasonable thing to ask for. Days later, he went back on this, saying that he only meant that he would ask his manager, and that he never agree to pay for the key. This was shifty at best, a bald-faced lie at worst. He said he would go back to his manager and let me know what they would do for me. 10 days have passed, and multiple attempts to reach him have been ignored - I've been totally ghosted. I also specifically asked prior to the sale if the car had a digital key available, and I was assured that it did. After my info was input to the Hyundai database so I could activate the app, I found out a $30 per month subscription is required. Only the original owner has this included; a second owner requires a paid subscription. I absolutely should have been told this when I asked about it before the sale. I tried to get in touch with the general manager by emailing him through a link on the website. I've emailed him twice, and he also has ignored me. I called and asked to speak with him, and waited on hold for 30 minutes and he never picked up. This has been by far my worst car buying experience. More

I wanted to take the time to say that from beginning to end, I had a wonderful time working with Giovanny in sales and Richard from Finance. They were able to get me into a used vehicle even after many oth end, I had a wonderful time working with Giovanny in sales and Richard from Finance. They were able to get me into a used vehicle even after many other dealerships said no. Thank you both for making car buying such a wonderful, and pain free process. I also would like to thank David over in Service for taking such great care of my vehicle as well. If you're in the market for a new or used vehicle, please make sure to ask for Giovanny, you will not regret it! More

These guys screwed me. Sold me a certified pre-owned vehicle with only one remote. Isn't CPO supposed to have everything a new car has (2 remotes)? They also told me it doe Sold me a certified pre-owned vehicle with only one remote. Isn't CPO supposed to have everything a new car has (2 remotes)? They also told me it doesn't come with a spare tire (a lie). I had to buy one on ebay. They also didn't give me any floor mats. The vehicle had tons of problems that should have not passed inspection (volume knob didn't work). My car was dead after 2 days. To make matters worse, they wouldn't send me a license plate for over 2 months. I had to keep calling and calling and they would just pawn me off to some random department. They tried to tell me I had to go to the DMV and pay for it myself, even through I literally paid for them to do that on my invoice. Insane! Will never buy from these guys again. Malik was personable and did his job well (maximizing revenue for the dealership). Wish he would have given me a little bit more post-purchase support in nagging the other departments but I get he is probably more incentivized to move on to the next sale. More

The reason I gave this rating is said had the car I was buying and then could not find on one of their lots. I then had to come back 2 days later to do all the paperwork after work when tired ( originally buying and then could not find on one of their lots. I then had to come back 2 days later to do all the paperwork after work when tired ( originally there on Sunday), and get the car. Not how i wanted it. Also had to come back few weeks later for 2 checks promised...after I kept calling. Referral check and military discount..which he wouldn't redo the paperwork. More
