This was the smoothest new car purchase I have ever exeprienced. I was actually helping my daughter purchase her first time new car and I must say Kevin Frye was fantastic. Since I was not present he w exeprienced. I was actually helping my daughter purchase her first time new car and I must say Kevin Frye was fantastic. Since I was not present he walked her through the process, explained everything in layman's terms and called me and explained everything he was setting up for her to buy her first car. I cannot say how pleased we are with the professinal and personnal service we got from Kevin Frye of Jim Ellis Hyundai. Fred Hart Fort Mitchell, AL More
The people at Jim Ellis Hyundai are very polite and courteous. However, the non-competitive prices (to be fair, all car dealerships overcharge compare to other service points, and this one is no except courteous. However, the non-competitive prices (to be fair, all car dealerships overcharge compare to other service points, and this one is no exception) and the poor quality of the service are major irritants. Essentially, this dealership has caused me more problems that it has solved. As my car is under warranty, I need to have the major repair done at this dealership. The last three times it has been serviced, I needed to bring the car back within 2 days because of unresolved issues. In one instance, I brought my car in because the check engine light was on. After the car had been serviced, I did not even had time to reach the I-285 that the check engine light was back on because of what it turned out to be misfire. Three trips to the dealership and 3 days without a car later, I finally had the problem solved. The latest incident is related to the brake light switch recall. I had my car serviced and the light switch was changed. Later that evening, after picking up the car from the dealership, I realized the brake light actually never turned off. I verify the switch and it turned out that it was defective. I had to make another round trip to the dealership... I understand that things can happen and people make mistake, but changing a brake light switch and actually testing a little before returning the car to a client is not exactly rocket science. As a result, I am greatly dissatisfied with the quality of the service at this dealership, and unless they implement some important reform regarding the control of quality of their service, I do not intend to have business with them as soon the warranty ends, and I will certainly never buy a car at this place again.

DJ was amazing! He helped me set up the entire purchase over the phone. All the contracts and paperwork overnighted with FedEx. I flew from NJ to pick up my new Matte Grey Veloster Turbo, and half expected over the phone. All the contracts and paperwork overnighted with FedEx. I flew from NJ to pick up my new Matte Grey Veloster Turbo, and half expected something to go awry upon arrival, but everything was ready and set up. I was in and out in less then 30 mins. Couldn't be more pleased with the service, courtesy and follow-thru of the folks working over at Jim Ellis, and especially DJ! More
Good: Salesman (DJ) is a nice guy and worked hard, honored the deal (almost) and found the vehicle at the last minutes Bad: Long waits in the store; They would not honor the TrueCar price at first, honored the deal (almost) and found the vehicle at the last minutes Bad: Long waits in the store; They would not honor the TrueCar price at first, told a few half-truths around the deal, kept promising inventory they could not produce, contract was not consistent with the quote, forced us to do an unnecessary credit app by surprise, did not prep the vehicle properly upon delivery. All in all a bad experience; this was my second purchase from this store, and likely my last. First one went better. More

I recently purchased a CPO 2012 Hyundai Genesis from Jim Ellis. The salesman was very helpful and did not pressure me in any way to buy. He was honest as I feel Jim Ellis Hyundai is.

I had a very serious accident, a t-bone side impact in my Tuscon The EMTs said the only reason I was alive was the side airbags and safety features. This time I selected a Sante Fe, a littler larger and even Tuscon The EMTs said the only reason I was alive was the side airbags and safety features. This time I selected a Sante Fe, a littler larger and even higher safety ratings. Jim Ellis service had always been wonderful and that is why I came back. There is a new Hyundai dealership less than 5 mules from my house.i came inside the perimeter to get the quality service Jim Ellis offers. The service guys call me by name. Jim Ellis' Atlanta Best Option is great for me.i just can't say enough good about my experience at Jim Ellis Hyundai. Thank you! Cindy Murphy More
Last week I finally admitted to myself that I needed a new car. My 1999 Ford Taurus was no longer a reliable vehicle for me. I began the search for a new car, and decided that what I really wanted was a new car. My 1999 Ford Taurus was no longer a reliable vehicle for me. I began the search for a new car, and decided that what I really wanted was a Hyundai Santa Fe. Through my research, I learned about Tuscons and thought that would be a more financially available option for me. I'm a teacher and a single mom to a 4 year old little girl. I HAD to choose something safe, that came with a good warranty (remember, that reliablity issue is what started this search.) AND a price that I could afford. Hyundai was at the TOP of the list, but I researched other similar crossovers just in case.... I called Jim Ellis on Tuesday morning and made an appointment to meet with Don Wood on Wednesday morning. I expected to car shop at several dealerships, and I investigated other vehicles at other dealerships, but somehow I never got around to making those appointments to meet with their sales people... I think it was a sign. On Wed, I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Wood. I explained to him my priorities, and he explained to me his "Right Needs. Right car. Right price." and he assured me that we would find the car together. He looked at some of the options that weren't hyundais that I was exploring in my research. He printed out for me a side by side comparison of the vehicles against Hyundai. I had to admit, that his facts were true to my own findings, so he didn't spin any facts! I loved the fact that he was very knowledgable, and in his explanations, he was never pushy. We both agreed that I would drive a Tuscon. As it turned out during the test drive, the Tuscon was not the car for me. I didn't love it. I was shocked at my own response to the vehicle. I was sure that I was going to love it, but it just felt to light for me and while the steering was a breeze, I have been driving a heavy Taurus with NO power steering, so I needed something a little different. I felt a bit dejected as we approached the dealership and parked the Tuscon back in it's spot. I told him honestly that I didn't love it, and that I really didn't like the color of that particular car (super blue sparkle) even though it was pretty, it wasn't for me. Mr. Wood didn't even bat an eyelash, he assured me that I needn't worry, that we'd just go back and talk it out again, but that there were no 2012 Santa Fes on the lot, so we'd need to discuss something else. As we walked back into the building he stopped, "LOOK! It's a Santa Fe! It hasn't been out here long, it doesn't even have a sticker on it yet!" I perked up, the color wasn't black or white, but it was close! (pacific blue pearl) I was interested in test driving THIS one! Don got the keys, we drove it, and when it was over I was able to say, "I like this one." Now he had discovered MY needs... found me THE RIGHT car... and then it was on to the price. Don couldn't do all the negotiating with me since my budget required some tailoring that was outside of the norm. Don introduced me to Jason Reeves a finance manager. Jason and Don and I negotiated for about 2 hours. We finally got it right. The Right Car AT THE RIGHT PRICE! Because I had my father co-signing with me, we couldn't do the paperwork until Thursday, but Don and Jason let me take the Santa Fe as a loaner car and allowed me to return with my father Thursday afternoon to make it official. In total, the Jim Ellis team spent 9 hours total with me in 2 days. This may sound excessive to some, but I assure you, not one moment did I feel pushed or like I was being used to tricked. When I left the dealership I felt that I made a great choice, that I got a great deal, and that I was treated fairly and respectfully. That's a tall order for a dealership to fill when a single woman comes in to negotiate for herself. I got great warranties, and service on my car. THEY filled the tank TWICE at no cost to me. Once when they gave it to me overnight as a loaner and then topped it off AGAIN before I drove it off the lot as my very own. Their attention to detail is fantastic, and I won't be going anywhere else for the service on my Santa Fe other than Jim Ellis . When my friends, family,students, or co-workers talk about buying a new car, I am recommending them here. When the time comes for me to buy another car, I'll be purchasing it at Jim Ellis Hyundai.
