I can’t say enough about how great my experience was at Dean Team Hyundai! I left another dealer completely frustrated and disgusted by their slimey old fashioned car salesman tactics and was blown away a Dean Team Hyundai! I left another dealer completely frustrated and disgusted by their slimey old fashioned car salesman tactics and was blown away at the difference upon walking into in the Dean Team. Ben French is the BEST dealer I’ve ever worked with ... so much so that I came in wanting to buy one car and left with two brand new cars at very fair prices. Save yourself the time - skip all other dealerships, head to Dean Team and ask for Ben French!!! More

The total time to get i Ben French helped me out last weekend at Dean Team Hyundai in Ballwin, MO. The process was made incredibly easy and pain free. The total time to get in the door, look around, test-drive a car, get credit approval and get on the road in my Hyundai was about an hour, maybe even a little less. Overall, it was a much more quick and pain-free experience than I expected or have had with other car purchasing experiences. More

Not the best experience. I came from several counties away to come to this dealership so I could test drive and see a Genesis in person. I had been dealing with Jacob all alon I came from several counties away to come to this dealership so I could test drive and see a Genesis in person. I had been dealing with Jacob all along, who I believe was a newer employee at the time. He was a nice guy on the phone and in person, but lacked some knowledge on the Genesis brand. I guess I got to the dealership later than expected though (we never discussed a time) and after letting me test drive a G70, Jacob had another appointment and I was then pawned off on Ben French. Ben French couldn't have been more uninterested in his job that day and definitely did not want to waste his Saturday selling me a car. The facial expressions, his demeanor, the sarcasm and tone in his voice, it all just flat out sucked. Without coming out directly and saying it, he hinted numerous times how a G90 would be too expensive for me and there was no sense in looking at one. I don't know how the guy sells cars if this is his usual attitude. I live in a rural area and I don't look like someone who would usually be interested in a Genesis. Ben knew this and treated me as such, totally blowing me off. I told Ben I was leaving after my test drive with Jacob, that I'd be back in a bit after I went and looked at a few more cars at various dealerships on Manchester. Ben told me he'd crunch some numbers and when I got back we could see about getting me into a Genesis. You could tell Ben didn't believe I was coming back and his actions when I returned only verified this. After returning and sitting at a table, watching Ben chit chat with his co-workers, he finally comes over to acknowledge my existence about 10 minutes after my return. With a BLANK piece of scrap paper in his hand! Clearly Ben did not take me seriously enough to do the little bit of number crunching he told me he'd be doing for me prior to my return. He starts hastily jotting down numbers, clearly just ballparked figures, not specific to me and my financials. It was during this Pulling of Numbers From One's xxx that Ben was so very engaged in that Jacob comes over to join us. Politely asking me how things were going, I engage Jacob. Captain Personality chimes in as well, both answering some detailed questions I have. Knowing Jacob drove a Genesis, I asked him if he minded answering a personal question. He agreed. So I then asked Jacob what he paid for his auto insurance on his Genesis, just so I could get an idea what I'd be looking at per month. Ben apparently thought this was hilarious and for some reason he actually started LAUGHING out loud! So much in fact, he had to turn and walk away from us momentarily. It was at this point I knew I was done here at this dealership and especially with this arrogant, snide, xxxxx Ben French. More
