Ran illegal credit check without permission On 29 APR 14, I made an appointment to get a test drive with Mr. Ali of a 2011 Infiniti M37X. During the test drive I informed him I had my own bank a On 29 APR 14, I made an appointment to get a test drive with Mr. Ali of a 2011 Infiniti M37X. During the test drive I informed him I had my own bank and would not need a credit check. I also said I was not looking to buy on that day as I was waiting for a substantial refund prior to signing any contracts. He said he even knew my loan officer personally. Once back inside his office, he asked how I would be able to buy his car today but I yet again informed him I could not buy today. He asked if he could do a trade appraisal at least to which I agreed and again reiterated that I would not be buying today. Mr. Ali came back a few minutes later stating that he had run my credit report and said I had a *** credit rating. He also said he was able to pull up my current vehicle payoff amount. I told him that the trade in amount did not require my credit to be pulled nor did I ever give him my SSN nor Driver's Licence. He went and got a sales manager who wanted to discuss my trade in amount but when I said I was upset that my credit report was pulled without my knowledge or consent he said, "Oh well that won't hurt you too much." I told him that what he did was illegal to which he simply got up and left the room. Mr. Ali came back in and said he assumed that I wanted the credit report pulled to which I said I repeatedly told him that I had my own financing and never authorized such a thing. I said I want my keys and to leave immediately as they were holding them away from me in the manager's office (a very deceptive trapping technique to keep me there longer). After waiting to get my keys back, I went out to the parking lot to find my current 09 Hyundai Genesis was still on and left in drive with the radio blaring. If I had waited a few more minutes then my car could have ended up rolling off and hitting something since it was left unattended in D. The dealership also promised me a gas card which I never received for making the trip out there which was a lie and falls under false advertising. More

HORRIBLE!!! Worst management that I have ever dealt with. This place has totally forgotten what customer service is. When is it ok for a manager to scream and ver Worst management that I have ever dealt with. This place has totally forgotten what customer service is. When is it ok for a manager to scream and verbally abuse a customer who just wants her warranty to actually be a warranty? Don't fall into their "tires for life" stuff either. You don't get new tires until they are down to 3/32 and was told by them that the metal will come through the tires at 2/32. Seriously, is that even safe? And that loaner they promise you if something goes wrong, yea thats a RENTAL. AVOID THE BIG CORNER AT ALL COSTS!!! More

Second of many vehicles just purchased at Mel Hambelton I bought my first car from MHF 3 years ago. With a growing family I needed a bigger vehicle. I chose to go back to MHF because of the great servic I bought my first car from MHF 3 years ago. With a growing family I needed a bigger vehicle. I chose to go back to MHF because of the great service I received the first time. If you need a great sales person - Stan Bogdan is your man! Stan worked his tail off to make sure he put us in a vehicle that fit our family and also our financial needs. He went above and beyond for us. We never felt pressured from him to purchase a vehicle and always felt he was there working for our best interest. Because of the team led by Shannon Burton and GM Phil Nightingale this will be our second of many vehicles we purchase from MHF. If you are looking to purchase a vehicle, go to Mel Hambelton, ask for Stan Bogdan and he will take care of you. More
I recently visited Mel Hambelton Ford and had the pleasure to meet Sales Consultant John Santellan while shopping for a Ford Mustang with and for my daughter. I have bought numerous cars in my lifeti pleasure to meet Sales Consultant John Santellan while shopping for a Ford Mustang with and for my daughter. I have bought numerous cars in my lifetime, but I have never experienced the customer service and professionalism I enjoyed with John. John had the wherewithal to make my daughter a real part of the buying experience. He was extremely patient in dealing with a sixteen year old that was unsure of the color or package options she wanted in her first car. John let her test drive all of the different vehicles she was interested in and took care in explaining the differences of each. When she narrowed her choice to two vehicles, he pulled them both to a vacant spot on the lot so she could see them side by side. He never rushed her to make a decision and acted as if we were the only people that mattered to him at the time. Once a decision was made on the vehicle, John turned his attention to me. In past experiences, purchasing a car has been a tedious task with the back and forth tactics of negotiation. Not so with John and Mel Hambelton Ford. I spoke frankly with John about what I was looking for in our transaction and he made it happen with one visit to the Sales Manager. In the end, my daughter left with the car of her dreams and I left with the best car buying experience I've ever had. I now own two vehicles from Mel Hambelton Ford. While both buying experiences were good, my experience with John will most certainly guarantee another visit to Mel Hambelton Ford in the future. More
Kevin Hopkins, our salesman, was very personable, kind and willing to work with us. He also kept me "entertained" when I returned to have a new tonneau cover installed on my truck. and willing to work with us.

We had been to many other car dealerships in Wichita and none other compared to the service, care and down to earth people at Mel Hambelton. I honestly did not want to get out of the car when we first arri none other compared to the service, care and down to earth people at Mel Hambelton. I honestly did not want to get out of the car when we first arrived I was so nervous, however, every single person I met calmed me down so much. Every aspect of our experience was very reassuring and quite perfect. All of the other dealerships in Wichita we visited were pushy, constantly trying to "sell" us, and always on our backs following us. Mel Hambelton was the complete opposite and the only place I will go for future car purchases. I have never felt so comfortable and welcome during our whole experience. Every single person we met was a respectful and caring person. I would highly recommend Mel Hambelton Ford. More
