I purchased a new 2026 Hyundai Elantra SE from Tonkin Gladstone Hyundai on June 30, 2026. I came in with a $3,000 down payment and a $2,000 Hyundai incentive. I made it clear that I needed an affordable Gladstone Hyundai on June 30, 2026. I came in with a $3,000 down payment and a $2,000 Hyundai incentive. I made it clear that I needed an affordable payment and expected to finance roughly $17,000. After the purchase, I discovered that thousands of dollars in additional products had been included in the financing, including an extended warranty and protection products. These were not products I wanted to keep. Within hours of leaving the dealership on June 30, I texted the salesperson and specifically requested that the products be removed. The next day, July 1, I physically returned to the dealership and signed cancellation paperwork. I kept copies of my communications and paperwork. Despite my cancellation request, the financing went forward with the disputed products still included. The records I obtained show a RouteOne processing timestamp dated July 3, 2026—after I had already requested cancellation by text and returned to the dealership to sign cancellation paperwork. What makes this especially troubling to me is that the salesperson later communicated an amount of approximately $18,003 after the products were removed. Yet the financing was still processed with the disputed products included. I am on a fixed disability income, and affordability was extremely important to me. I repeatedly communicated what I could afford. Adding thousands of dollars to a long-term auto loan has a significant impact on the total amount financed, monthly payment, and interest paid over the life of the loan. I have tried to resolve this through the dealership and Hyundai Motor Finance. I have retained the sales documents, text messages, cancellation paperwork, financing documents, and RouteOne timestamp supporting the timeline described above. I am sharing my experience so other consumers know to carefully review every number before leaving a dealership. Do not focus only on the monthly payment. Look closely at the amount financed, every optional product, and the total cost of the loan. If you cancel anything, get the cancellation in writing, keep a copy, and verify afterward that it was actually removed from the financing. I can only speak to my own experience, but I believe consumers deserve to know what happened to me and decide for themselves whether they are comfortable doing business here. More

This dealership is unscrupulous and untrustworthy. I bought a used car with severe amounts of undisclosed damage that shows the car was either not inspected, inspected by someone who is unqualified a I bought a used car with severe amounts of undisclosed damage that shows the car was either not inspected, inspected by someone who is unqualified and without technical knowledge, or inspected and sold knowingly without disclosing the damage. Once you drive off the lot they will ignore any issues. Alan is misleading and dishonest and his behavior embodies all the reasons people distrust and dislike car dealerships. We had agreed on, written down, and signed that the dealership needed to repair a dent on the car and between Alan and Austin in Finance, that document disappeared leaving me with nothing but a verbal promise that they still intend to fix the dent. I had damage reveal itself by the time I drove home due to the poor quality of the undisclosed repair work and after I got off the phone, I instantly knew I was scammed into buying a damaged car. I have so much anxiety about the safety and those have not been looked into. They are telling me they would never sell a car that was in an accident or unsafe, but also say they didn't know there was repair work done. Undisclosed repairs that would have been apparent to any technician if someone had actually looked at it and that have confirmed with an inspection from a capable technician. They have no empathy for their customers. Nabil is awful to work with too. If you want to speak with a sales manager who is dismissive and unkind, you can go to him with any complaints. He left me a voicemail saying the car is undamaged even thought I have pictures of the car still on their lot with that dent. Unreal. Evan is nice, but unhelpful but at least he was nice to me on the phone. More

My husband and I have bought many cars in our life time but the experience with Mason Baker at the Hyundai dealership was by far the very best car sale associate we have ever met. He had exceptional custom but the experience with Mason Baker at the Hyundai dealership was by far the very best car sale associate we have ever met. He had exceptional customer service and he exceeded all of our expectations. Mason was thorough from the moment I spoke to him over the phone about EV's. He truly loves his job and wants his customer to understand the vehicle and wants to make you happy with your purchase. We never felt pressured or uneasy. We have now become loyal customers at Ron Tonkin Hyundai after this top notch car buying experience! More
