I just wanted to leave a quick review for Laura Grajales at Route 1 Hyundai because she was honestly awesome to work with. Car shopping usually stresses me out, but Laura made the whole process completely p at Route 1 Hyundai because she was honestly awesome to work with. Car shopping usually stresses me out, but Laura made the whole process completely painless. I came in knowing exactly what I wanted—a very specific lease structure on an Elantra SE Sports Plus with 12,000 miles and absolutely zero dollars due at signing. I was fully expecting the usual dealership runaround or pressure to put thousands down, but Laura didn't do any of that. She listened to exactly what I needed, took my budget seriously, and went to bat for me with the finance team to actually make the math work out. She was completely straightforward, transparent, and just a genuinely nice person to deal with from start to finish. If you’re heading to Route 1 Hyundai and want someone who respects your time and won't play games, definitely go see Laura Grajales. More
This is the fourth vehicle we’ve purchased from this dealership although it has changed names/hands. Our experience from start to finish was wonderful. I usually dread purchasing a new car with the back dealership although it has changed names/hands. Our experience from start to finish was wonderful. I usually dread purchasing a new car with the back and forth haggling and how it can be an all day affair. This time, there was none of that. Our salesman, Manny, was great! Pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable with a great sense of human was a perfect match to our personality. He showed us how everything worked on our vehicle. We had a price in mind and he came within what we considered acceptable wiggle room. We were very comfortable with Manny and felt he was doing his best to make sure we were happy. Scott Shannon, in finance was equally friendly, with sound advice related to our deposit and payment. He explained available options for warranty protection etc., withOUT pushy, you’ll be sorry tactics that would have caused us to leave. He did an outstanding job. Even picking up our plates was a pleasant experience. Quick assistance and the plates were on our cave and we were on our way with no delay. I will continue to patronize this dealership in the future and recommend them to friends and family. Thank you for the terrific experience. More

I have never encountered or even heard of a worse customer service experience in my entire family, extended family, circle of friends, colleagues, or on social media. Imagine keeping a customer’s car customer service experience in my entire family, extended family, circle of friends, colleagues, or on social media. Imagine keeping a customer’s car from September 21 to October 16, 2026—a period of nearly four weeks—for nothing more than a flat tire repair, simply for guarantying payment from the warranty company. This level of disregard for the customer’s time, inconvenience, and basic expectations of service is absolutely unacceptable and reflects a shocking lack of professionalism. More
Buyers be aware! My wife and I visited Route 1 Hyundai several times over the past week with the intention of purchasing a new Hyundai Palisade. On Saturday, Septe My wife and I visited Route 1 Hyundai several times over the past week with the intention of purchasing a new Hyundai Palisade. On Saturday, September 12, 2026, we returned to the dealership and worked with salesperson Laura and her manager, Louis G. Both were attentive, professional, and helpful throughout the negotiation process. After extensive discussions, we reached an agreement on a 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid SEL Premium AWD with a white exterior and gray interior for an out-the-door price of $54,650. Once the deal was finalized and we shook hands on the agreement, the dealership instructed me to contact my insurance company to add the new vehicle and provide an insurance ID card and binder. I did so immediately, and the documents were promptly delivered to the dealership. At the same time, my wife signed multiple documents, including the financing agreement reflecting the agreed-upon price and terms. The dealership also ran her credit history report, which presented no issues. The vehicle was already being detailed and prepared for delivery. At that point, another manager, Larry F., approached us and informed us that we would need to pay an additional $500 for the transaction to proceed. We were shocked by this unexpected demand. After the agreement had been reached, paperwork completed, insurance updated, credit pulled, and delivery preparations underway, the dealership suddenly attempted to change the terms of the deal under the instruction of general manager Manny Lugo. We repeatedly requested to speak with Mr. Manny Lugo, but he initially declined to meet with us. Only after my wife personally approached him did he engage with us. Mr. Lugo stated that the agreed-upon and signed price was "not correct" and that he would not honor it. While we are not in a position to determine the legal implications of what occurred, we believe the situation was highly unethical. After investing significant time in the process and completing every step requested by the dealership, having the agreed-upon price changed at the last minute felt unfair, personal and deceptive. What made the experience particularly disappointing was the manner in which the situation was handled. We found Mr. Lugo's attitude to be dismissive, arrogant, and unprofessional. The lack of accountability and unwillingness to honor a negotiated agreement seriously undermined our trust in the dealership. We also felt bad for the staff members who spent considerable time working with us to reach a mutually agreed-upon deal, only to have their efforts effectively disregarded at the final stage of the transaction. Based on our experience, we strongly encourage prospective buyers to proceed with caution. Trust is a fundamental part of any major purchase, and unfortunately, our experience left us feeling that the dealership's management, particularly, Mr. Manny Lugo did not uphold the standards of professionalism and integrity that customers deserve.

I brought the car in for oil change- the service was good. It took about 3 hours since there was a recall to be addressed. I worked with a young lady, who was pleasant but forgot her name. good.

I brought my car in for an oil change. I made an appointment for 8:00am, dropped my car off the night before. The communication with the service department this experience terrible. I call I made an appointment for 8:00am, dropped my car off the night before. The communication with the service department this experience terrible. I called 5 times throughout the day for a status update. At 10:30am my car still was not serviced, I was highly upset because I had an appointment scheduled. I was told I would have been taken sooner had I stayed at the dealership while my car was serviced. Throughout the entire day multiple phone calls were made on my end simply for a status update. It was extremely inconvenient. Having my car at the dealership all day when I specifically scheduled an 8 AM appointment by 5:30 I called for the fifth time and I was told my car was finished being serviced. I asked the representative why hasn’t anyone called me when I’ve been waiting around to pick up my car all day. I was told that in the notes it said someone was going to call me at 6:00 PM. I then ask her. What time do you close and she said 6 o’clock. I then said someone was going to call me at the time you guys close? So even if there was an issue, the issue wouldn’t be resolved the same day. None of this made any sense, she then stated she would leave my keys with the sales department. This was such a horrible experience. More
