Personable and Professional Joel Maislin and Ben French were my salesmen and I was thoroughly happy with my treatment by them from the moment I entered the dealership to the clos Joel Maislin and Ben French were my salesmen and I was thoroughly happy with my treatment by them from the moment I entered the dealership to the closure of the deal. They were respectful, professional and fair in all the negotiations. I was totally happy with the "bottom line". They never talked down to me or tried to pull anything over on me. This is my second car purchased here and it won't be the last. More

"Great experience after 12 years without a car payment" Well, it had been 12 years since I bought a car and 10 years without a car payment. Ben French did a great job dealing with me over a 5 day period. Well, it had been 12 years since I bought a car and 10 years without a car payment. Ben French did a great job dealing with me over a 5 day period. I am not an easy sale, I know that, but Ben answered all of my questions and worked with me through the whole process. The Dean Team put together a very competitive package which included working with the price of the car, a few trinkets for the car, and a very competitive financial package. All & all, it was a smooth transaction and I am very comfortable recommending the Dean Team for your next car purchase. I also highly recommend you talk with Ben French when that time comes. EVERYONE I worked with was very professional and as I said before, they addressed any questions I had. I look forward to dealing with the Dean Team for my service needs. More

Phenomenal Buying Experience Several weeks ago my husband and I purchased a new 2014 Hyundai Sonata from Dean Hyundai in Ballwin, MO. We love the car. But we loved even more the Several weeks ago my husband and I purchased a new 2014 Hyundai Sonata from Dean Hyundai in Ballwin, MO. We love the car. But we loved even more the whole sales, financing, and servicing experience. Ben French was our sales person. He was knowledgeable not only about the Sonata's specs, but also the Elantra's and the Genesis'. He was patient and listened well to our questions, answering every one of them in customer friendly, understanding language. Effective salesman that he is, Ben struck with us just the right balance, allowing us time to process his information yet simultaneously helping us move toward making a decision to buy. It was easy to see that Ben has good instincts for customers as well as being well trained and mentored. Our experience with financing the Sonata was as excellent. Scott Varnum was personable and also "knew his stuff". He outlined the financing process as well as detailing the options available to us. He gained our confidence when he" delivered" the best options in a timely, competent, and efficient manner. We like this in the person who is dealing with our money :-) Furthermore, so far, everything Scott said about the dealership's great service department has been correct. The service manager did a fantastic job of orienting us to the car upon delivery. A follow-up visit to better understand the android phone and and car synching went just as well. All in all, our experience with the Dean Hyundai Team has been phenomenal. This is probably the 12th car my husband and I have purchased in our lifetime, so we have many other experiences to compare with this one! At Dean, everyone "on the floor" of the dealership was helpful. Each person was willing to "go that extra mile" to help or get us to a colleague who could help. They were a team, but also seemed like a caring family. Most importantly, they made us feel like we joined their family.....the Dean Auto Family. So far, we have been pleased to become part of that "family". We think that in any venue, extraordinary service should be recognized. We hope Hyundai has established a way to do this. Nord62014 More
