This review is to sincerely warn anyone considering purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. My experience has proven that their "Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)" guarantees are completely invalid, and the purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. My experience has proven that their "Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)" guarantees are completely invalid, and their sales team relies on empty promises to close deals. Two massive red flags based on my experience: 1) Incomplete CPO Inspection: I purchased a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle that supposedly underwent the 150+ point inspection, but after taking the car home, it became apparent that some inspection items were never actually completed—particularly item #70, which requires verifying both keys. They signed off on this standard without actually providing the second key. They are selling cars under the guise of CPO standards without actually doing the work. 2) Three Years of Broken Promises: During the sale, my salesperson, Rachel, explicitly promised me a spare key. Over the course of several months post-purchase, I followed up repeatedly with multiple sales representatives and was even told a manager would handle my situation directly. Every single time, the staff gave me verbal assurances that they would "get it taken care of." It has now been three years, and absolutely nothing has been done. A spare key is a significant expense, and the staff's repeated commitments were clearly just empty commitments to string me along until I went away. If you expect honesty, transparency, and a dealership that stands behind its word and its guarantees, go somewhere else. Their follow-through is nonexistent, and their word cannot be trusted. More
Extremely disappointed with Hyundai in general. This experience I've had with Hyundai on and off for two years has been a financial nightmare. I feel Hyundai itself did not take my concerns serious This experience I've had with Hyundai on and off for two years has been a financial nightmare. I feel Hyundai itself did not take my concerns seriously as they decided to play with my time, my money and most importantly the safety of myself and my children. If someone tells you (which I did) that they do not know what is wrong with their vehicle, it's shaking, it's making noises, it's sluggish, the same issues are constantly being replaced over and over, you (Hyundai) should take these concerns seriously by making sure you have someone who knows what they are doing fix the vehicle. Not allow someone who is just a "basic" technician tell me the same things over and over that are constantly being fixed over and over and finally you decide to have a "master" technician look at the vehicle and now they supposedly found the main issue, which caused all the same issues that kept occurring. Had Hyundai had a master technician examine my vehicle in the first place, I would not be out of more than $5,000 to so call fix my vehicle!!!! This does NOT include over $1,100 in car rental fees. I am a disabled, single parent and cancer survivor. I do not have money to waste on the same issues that could have been easily fixed to begin with. Hyundai did not take my concerns seriously and I was often dismissed or ignored. I worked with Hyundai Consumer America and that too was a waste of time and effort, as I spoke with 5 different individuals who worked on my case. They were all very well aware of all my issues, concerns and what my vehicle did or did not have. At this point, I will never purchase another vehicle from Hyundai again. I've had the fuel system cleaned and the spark plugs replaced at least 6 times. Worked with two of their dealerships, spoke with 5 of their consumer department agents, have spent over $5,000 dollars on the same repairs in two years!!!! Again, not including the $1,100 for rental car fees. Now this dealership is telling me it was my catalytic converter and that’s why I had to keep replacing the spark plugs and fuel system pump. They also told me they didn’t see the problem before because they had their “regular” technician look at my vehicle instead of their "master" technician. Now that the master technician looked at my vehicle who finally said it was the catalytic converter and cabin air filter. Which will cost over $2,400 to fix. Are you kidding me? I am so done with this. More
Patrick, the individual who assisted me was very nice, knowledgeable, and quick to help. I ended up getting my car back from service half an hour early. Overall, the process was simple and well done. My o knowledgeable, and quick to help. I ended up getting my car back from service half an hour early. Overall, the process was simple and well done. My only complaint would be when I first called the customer service operator(s) answered but did not listen to me and all I could hear was them laughing then they hung up. However, overall the in-person service and customer service was well done. More
Never thought I would EVER give an auto dealership a rave review but these guys were awesome today! I took my Sorento in for recall service and when I dropped my car off I was completely ready to spend 1-2 h review but these guys were awesome today! I took my Sorento in for recall service and when I dropped my car off I was completely ready to spend 1-2 hours b4 I could get a ride home. However, my service advisor Allysa was fantastic and I was being driven home in 15 minutes. She said it could take up to 6 hours but after less than 2 she called and said it was ready and she would send David to pick me up which he did. Quick in and out to pick up vehicle, no cost, no upsells, no "we noticed..." The whole process was quick, easy and painless! Thanks World Car Kia South! More
