Genesis of Kirkland

Our Genesis of Kirkland experience was nothing less than stellar and exceptional from first glance through vehicle ownership! Anthony Macht, Tim Johnson, Josh Waller, and their entire staff are basically “G stellar and exceptional from first glance through vehicle ownership! Anthony Macht, Tim Johnson, Josh Waller, and their entire staff are basically “Genesis A+ super heroes” who exceeded our expectations introducing us to a brand-new customer experience that was anything but ordinary! Me and my wife do not typically enjoy going into car dealerships because of prior experiences with “extra nonsense” but Genesis of Kirkland is just different. Never in our entire lives has a car dealership actually made purchasing a vehicle more than just a transaction. Genesis made it a brand-new customer relationship! It was fantastic from the moment we arrived they made it their mission to provide exceptional customer service with a smile! They treated us as “honored guest" with tremendous respect, courtesy, and kindness providing the added benefit of “peace of mind” taking great customer service and care to another level. They were extremely professional, very hard-working, and still managed to provide us with the absolute best, most memorable, and fun vehicle buying experience we will never forget! They communicated clearly, handled all of our concerns with a great attitude, and were very knowledge about the purchasing process and overall business goals. They understand your time is valuable and provided several options to help make the overall process more efficient and convenient. I cannot imagine working with any other dealerships because Genesis of Kirkland is simply the BEST! – Troy T. More

The staff at this dealership were dismissive, rude, and ultimately unprofessional. We were interested in a value vehicle (around $8,000) and called to request that it be transferred to a sister dealership ultimately unprofessional. We were interested in a value vehicle (around $8,000) and called to request that it be transferred to a sister dealership closer to our home. Initially, the sales manager was polite, but as soon as he learned the purpose of our call, his tone changed dramatically. He began cutting us off, raised his voice, and eventually hung up the phone. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable — especially from someone in a leadership role. If this is how they treat potential customers before a sale, I can only imagine how they’d handle things afterward. Go elsewhere. More

If I could give zero stars, I would. I initially called Genesis of Kirkland about a GV70 they had on the lot. I was told Dylan, the sales manager, would get back to me. He never did. I initially called Genesis of Kirkland about a GV70 they had on the lot. I was told Dylan, the sales manager, would get back to me. He never did. A week later, I followed up and was passed off to Erik, who promised to work up numbers and financing options. I had already secured pre-approvals from two other places, but I gave them a shot to earn my business. Again — no follow-up. After another week of silence, I reached out again and was told (falsely) that I had informed them I’d bought another car and was no longer interested — completely untrue. Eventually, I received numbers and decided to proceed with the purchase. I flew in to Kirkland, signed all the paperwork, paid a $10,000 down payment, and was told the rest would be handled — plates mailed, paperwork sent, financing submitted. I drove off thinking the deal was done. Fast forward 45+ days, and I had received: • No license plates • No paperwork • No contact from the bank When I called the credit union, they couldn’t even find me in their system. After some digging, they located a paper file — meaning nothing had been submitted electronically. The bank told me they’d been trying to get the dealership to respond for two weeks — with no luck. So now I’m the one being asked to put pressure on the dealer. Once I did, the dealership finally sent me the credit application — weeks after I bought the car. I signed and returned it promptly. Then, 10 days later, I got a call saying I had one hour to sign it again or the deal would fall through. No explanation. No accountability. To make matters worse: • I was told multiple times my plates were being overnighted. They weren’t. I returned home to Kentucky — no plates. They outright lied. • I was also told they had heard from the bank and that the loan was now complete. That appears to be yet another falsehood, as I’ve received zero confirmation from the bank — no documents, no welcome letter, nothing. My temporary tags have now expired, and I can’t legally drive the vehicle. So now I’m either Ubering to work or gambling that I won’t be pulled over — all because Genesis of Kirkland couldn’t do the most basic part of their job. I’ve bought, sold, and leased over 30 cars in my life. I’m nearly 60 years old and have never experienced a dealership this disorganized, unprofessional, and outright shady. Whether this is incompetence or willful deception, it’s unacceptable. Do yourself a favor: AVOID Genesis of Kirkland. They are not worth the time, the stress, or the risk. More

I recently had a terrible experience at Genesis of Kirkland that I feel compelled to share. I simply wanted to get an oil change for my GV80, but the ordeal turned into a nightmare. First, I had to wa Kirkland that I feel compelled to share. I simply wanted to get an oil change for my GV80, but the ordeal turned into a nightmare. First, I had to wait a ridiculous seven weeks just to get an appointment. When I finally booked it, I was told the service would take 60-90 minutes, and I agreed to wait there. However, when I arrived, it was clear they had scheduled too many people at the same time. Despite initially telling me it would be 90 minutes, they quickly changed the estimate to 2.5 to 3 hours. They offered a complimentary car wash but strongly discouraged it because it would add another 60-90 minutes, so I declined. After waiting 3.5 hours for just an oil change, I was hit with an outrageous bill. They charged a hefty shop fee on top of an already overpriced service, and then added another surcharge for using a credit card. The total came out to nearly $400 for an oil change, and this was after I declined all additional services. No discount was offered despite the excessive delays. To make matters worse, the building was in terrible condition—nothing like what you'd expect from a luxury brand. The ceiling had water and mold stains, there were holes in it, and the overall facility was old and poorly maintained. They tried to sell me on their new store being better once it's completed, but based on this experience, I will never return. Genesis of Kirkland, you should be ashamed of this level of service. If you value your time, money, and experience, I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere. More
