I went to the dealership knowing exactly what car I wanted and what I could afford. I was so grateful that I was lucky enough to be helped by Tristan Crook (ds@earnhardt.com) because he really worked w wanted and what I could afford. I was so grateful that I was lucky enough to be helped by Tristan Crook (ds@earnhardt.com) because he really worked with my criteria. I am young and this is the first time I have tried to buy a car so it was no surprise that other dealerships tried hard to "pull the wool over my eyes." I walked out of those dealerships quickly, but the Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale dealership was like a breath of fresh air because no one tried to trick me, confuse me, or lie to me. Everyone was very honest, straightforward, and a pleasure to work with. I feel like Tristan went out of his way to work around my schedule and circumstances. I definitely recommend this dealership.

Although I didn't know it at the time, the car I bought was the same one I had test drove. During the test drive I told the salesperson (Mario) that car pulled to the right and that he should have i bought was the same one I had test drove. During the test drive I told the salesperson (Mario) that car pulled to the right and that he should have it checked out. Obviously, it wasn't checked out because when I was driving car home after purchasing the vehicle, it was still pulling to the right. Had appointment to close transaction (cash purchase) but I sat for over 2 hours waiting to see someone from finance.. . When signing documents the sheet reflecting mileage on car indicated 16 miles. It actually had 200 miles driven. Nathaniel was my contact person at dealership and was very professional and did a great job. Azera is a great car and I'm very happy with it. Price is a bargain for the quality of the car. More

My wife and I had narrowed our search for a vehicle down to two. A Honda Civic, as we have an Accord and really like it, and the Elantra, as my son has one and really likes it. We went to Earnhardt Hyunda to two. A Honda Civic, as we have an Accord and really like it, and the Elantra, as my son has one and really likes it. We went to Earnhardt Hyundai to look at the Elantra. James, a very personable salesman, met us and asked some really important questions, such as how do we intend to use this vehicle. Will it be big enough to suite our needs, etc. etc.. He was very polite and we joked about our 53 years of marrige, as he is thinking of marriage soon. When we saw the Elantra limited, we both exclaimed, Wow! what a snazzy looking car. James took the time to go over all the ins and outs of the car. As we started getting into the nitty gritty of purchasing, Bob, the sales manager came over and we did what everyone does, bantered back and forth over the price, until we reached a satisfied price and purchased our Elantra. We really enjoy it and get many wows from onlookers. Thanks James and Bob! George Abraham More

It did not take long for this dealership to respond to my review - less than 2 hours, which is impressive. After speaking with the general manager, the dealership is making an effort to resolve my complaints review - less than 2 hours, which is impressive. After speaking with the general manager, the dealership is making an effort to resolve my complaints. If everything is resolved accordingly, I will upgrade my review and feel better about recommending this dealership in the future. Updates: 1. PAYMENT: Another miscommunication - resolved to my satisfaction 2. ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Name and address are now correct, but it is not evident where this error happened or how. All of the paperwork at the dealership had the correct information. The ball was dropped somewhere between the paperwork leaving the dealership and making it to Hyundai Finance. It is correct now, so the issue is resolved, though I am still unsure of how the error ever occurred. 3. SERVICE: appointment is scheduled, will update if a resolution is reached 4. SALES: I still stand by the overall customer experience I had, which was excellent, friendly, and professional. I am not aware of any fault on the "sales" side for the issues I have encountered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel compelled to update this review based on my experience over the first month and a half of ownership. I would never recommend this dealership to anyone,but especially not to a first time car buyer. I do not know quite where to begin, but here are the biggest issues I have experienced since purchasing my vehicle: 1. PAYMENT - The biggest, and most important. I was told explicitly that my first payment would not be due for 45 days. I have received no information regarding payment up to this point, and I called the dealership with no return phone call, so I took it upon myself to look up what was owed on the car and when my first payment was due via the Hyundai Motor Finance website. Well, the first payment was due 21 days ago - I received no statement and no information regarding a payment (which as already stated, I did not expect to be due until April), and the second one is due next week! So, I called the corporate office, and this leads me to my second problem with this dealership... 2. ATTENTION TO DETAIL- Why? They spelled my name wrong when the car was registered with Hyundai; they put my address from a year ago when my correct address was clearly on my license, they put an incorrect phone number, and they did not send the terms of my agreement to HMF- when pressed for detail about what makes up the payment, there was no information available. I have not received any written communication from the dealership or from HMF about payments that were due, which could be explained by the fact that they pulled an old address from 10 months ago, but I am still having my mail forwarded, so I am not going to give them any allowance for not even sending me a statement now for two payments. 3. SERVICE - The service team is professional and friendly, but they told me I was crazy (in a nice way) because I have now complained to them twice about the bluetooth function in my car not working. Calls get dropped on the bluetooth repeatedly, but the call is still active on my phone. I even took my phone to Apple to get it replaced, and the bluetooth still fails on me repeatedly. But, since they could not figure out what causes the drops, they were unable to fix it. This is a brand new, 2013 model - the car has less than 1000 miles on it, but I am the one that is crazy and its the phone's fault, not theirs. The car also had a vile burning smell for the first two weeks I drove it, but I was told this could not have been the case, nothing burning in the car. OK...I said there is a problem, they say there is no problem. Not sure how to handle that. 4. SALES - The sales team is VERY good at what they do: eloquent, friendly, accommodating, but they do not have your best interest in mind. I am an engineer for a software company, I am certainly not a stupid person, so I am well aware that they have to make money. But the "miscommunications" are so rampant at this point, I do feel I have been taken advantage of- or at least misdirected. I will never purchase a Hyundai again, but more importantly, I would NEVER recommend this dealership to anyone in the Valley...they are professional and friendly, but more than anything they are deceitful and have no mind for detail, only to move cars off their lot. I am positively furious about the treatment I have received thus far. I cant wait to put this whole negative experience behind me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW: I purchased my first car from this dealership In February, and I am positively thrilled with the shopping experience I had. As a first time buyer, I was apprehensive, and deeply concerned about feeling taken advantage of. I did considerable research so I would know exactly what car I wanted and chose Earnhardt based on the rave reviews I read online about their excellence in customer service. The internet reviewers did not disappoint! By the time I left, I felt like a part of the family. Bill, Bob, and Ian were spectacular to work with, and made every effort to make sure I was comfortable with my choice and that I was getting the best deal for my money. I would never think of going anywhere else to purchase a car in Arizona! It was a pleasure to work with this team, and I would do it again and again. More

I want to thank Ric Anderson, Bob Paulson, and Alex Massenti at Discover Hyundai for making my vehicle puchase such a good experience. The friendliness of Bob when I first approcahed the dealership wa Massenti at Discover Hyundai for making my vehicle puchase such a good experience. The friendliness of Bob when I first approcahed the dealership was extended by Ric who then helped me find a vehicle that fit my needa and budget. They were not only very helpful, but very customer oriented and professional... but not stuffy which helped me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire process. Alex is finance is also great. He even found me a lower interest rate the following week. Hyundai should be proud and impressed to have employees as awesome as these 3 guys. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone that I know that is shopping for a car. Thanks to the 3 of them, my car buying experience was very pleasant! More
