Hyundai of San Bruno

READ BEFORE PURCHASING A VEHICLE HERE - STAY AWAY: I strongly encourage you to reconsider purchasing a vehicle from this dealership, and frankly from the entire Cardinale Auto Group. TLDR; the dealer strongly encourage you to reconsider purchasing a vehicle from this dealership, and frankly from the entire Cardinale Auto Group. TLDR; the dealership accepted (and sold) my trade-in vehicle and now refuses to pay me for it while claiming they have no record of the vehicle. This issue has been escalated to the San Bruno Police Department. All of the staff members I worked with during my original purchase, including the GSM of the dealership, no longer work at the dealership. Current staff can not be bothered to help me solve this and have lied to my face on multiple occasions, including insinuating I am personally trying to do something illegal as well as claiming the old dealership staff paid me cash for my vehicle. So many lies, hard to track them, the current GSM goes by the name of Ammal (sp?) and fits the sleezy car salesman stereotype to a T. Calling me "bud" and telling me "my word is as good as gold" and then just lying to my face. I wouldn't buy a car from him or this dealership if it was offered to me for $1. On August 20th, 2023, my wife and I purchased a used vehicle from this dealership (a 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid). Our transaction was handled by Salesman Raj (Suraj Vishwakarma), Finance Director/Sales Manager Rob (Roberto Martinez) and briefly by another Sales Manager named Hameed Safi. I also now understand that Rob was working with General Sales Manager Tony Behari on this transaction. ALL OF THESE EMPLOYEES NO LONGER WORK FOR THE DEALERSHIP. During negotiations for this purchase we also expressed interest in trading in our current vehicle. After some back and forth we decided to not include our current car in the core deal (as I didn't have the title with me) but that the dealership would still like to purchase the vehicle from me separately for the same $2,500 we discussed as a trade as soon as I had the title. We were also told it would be totally fine to leave the vehicle at the dealership that day and the already had they keys (common car salesman trick of keeping the keys to the old car in their hand and the new car in your hand). A couple of weeks later (after constant communication with my salesman and the finance manager of the dealership) I brought in the title (wound up having to get it retitled with the DMV causing the delay) and signed a release of liability with the same finance manager Rob who I had continued to communicate with. He was busy, I did not get any paper work in return, receipt, etc. This is 100% my fault and was stupid, I know. But, I'm standing inside of a major car retailer that is a member of a billion dollar a year auto group, I assumed I had at least a TINY bit of trust (wrong) and could leave them in charge of my meager $2,500 trade-in. After I dropped off the title I proceeded to communicate with this same finance manager Rob for approximately 4-5 weeks, he was always "working on it" or "checking with the boss" on something and then finally last Saturday (November 11th) he calls me and tells me he no longer works for the dealership and that I would need to deal with the dealership itself to get my money. In a state of shock, I call the dealership directly and speak with a Sales manager named Liz, she says she will look into this and call me back (she does not). I call again, she says a manager named Ammal will be calling me. Shockingly, Ammal does not call. I call again and talk to Ammal, he assures me he is looking into this. He says he will text me and we'll figure out a time I can come in to speak to him. Nope, no call back. I call him again and ask when we can discuss in person, he suggests Saturday (yesterday November 18). I go in and he makes me wait around for an hour off and on before finally accusing me of doing something improper and telling me there is nothing he can do. The single worst customer service experience I’ve ever had. I immediately went to the San Bruno Police Department next door. Stay away from More
