Christian Karamitsos

Worst car buying experience I have ever encountered. Rude, unprofessional staff, making repeated mistakes with our time and our paperwork. General sales manager who acknowledged inappropriate and rude Rude, unprofessional staff, making repeated mistakes with our time and our paperwork. General sales manager who acknowledged inappropriate and rude behavior by staff, and mistakes made, but no intention or attempt to correct them. I regret very much giving this dealership our business and will avoid any and all encounters with them in the future. More

My name is Henry Dishington. First off, I need to say that I love Hyundai vehicles and my experiences with them. Whether it is safety or driveabilty, I am completely satisfied with a Hyundai vehicle. Als that I love Hyundai vehicles and my experiences with them. Whether it is safety or driveabilty, I am completely satisfied with a Hyundai vehicle. Also, the service department at Ron Carter is the best that I have ever seen. They were a big part of my decision to return to Ron Carter again and again. They were also a big part of me "evangelizing" Hyundai to my wife, resulting in her purchase from Ron Carter. The sales department, however is another matter. Because of how I was treated by the sales department during a recent purchase, I will never return to Ron Carter. I was planning to buy all of my cars from Ron Carter. Now, I will buy none. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALER! More

BAIT AND SWITCH-We went to test drive a "new" 2019 Sonata. The car was filthy, smelled like smoke and had 4000 miles on it. Christian, the Manager came to us and apologized and proceeded to tell us he Sonata. The car was filthy, smelled like smoke and had 4000 miles on it. Christian, the Manager came to us and apologized and proceeded to tell us he had a 2020 Sonata that he would sell us for close to the same amount as the 2019. Two hours later and a $7000 difference, we had enough. When my husband questioned him, he became rude and condescending. More

RACIST, RUDE AND UNETHICAL BUSINESS. CALLED ME THE N WORD RACIST, RUDE AND UNETHICAL BUSINESS done by CHRISTIAN KARAMISTSOS. He called me a N-word in the middle of a filled lobby and threatened me including i RACIST, RUDE AND UNETHICAL BUSINESS done by CHRISTIAN KARAMISTSOS. He called me a N-word in the middle of a filled lobby and threatened me including involvement with calling my place of work. As well as yelling my credit information as loudly as he could.PLEASE READ FOR YOUR OWN WELL BEING AND SAFETY! BEWARE people of color and do your research based on the fake reviews listed by people who were offered gift cards for 5 stars. I came into Ron Carter to view an internet price that was obviously deflated from the first email response about coming in before I could receive a quote. When I arrived I was treated quickly and got to test drive within minutes. Thereafter I explained I was most interested in the numbers. Numbers wise I got the salesmen and a finance manager who brought back several quotes with increased pricing $4-6k added as well as inflation on my trade in payoff, warranty add-ons and increased MSRP pricing. I sent 4 quotes back to who I soon found out was Christian Karmitsos. On the 4th quote I requested my keys be given back to me so I could leave to go elsewhere. Instead of my request to leave, the salesmen instead requested paystubs, sign several different papers and had me wait another 30 mintues. This is when CHRISTIAN KARAMISTSOS approached the desk. Christian sat down and spoke as fast as lightning urging me to sign a deal with a payment I did not agree to. Every time I viewed one of his documents he quickly snatched back from me to hide the underlying details. I told him I was not willing to sign and that I'd like my keys back. Christian KARAMISTSOS then looked me in my eyes and told me after he had run my credit at 9 DIFFERENT BANKS that I wouldn't get approved anywhere else. He then got up immediately to my response that was unethical practice. From here CHRISTIAN KARMISTSOS turned into his true colors. CHRISTIAN KARAMISTSOS stopped walking and physically got in my face asking what did I say in his most threatening matter. I told him to get out of my face and get my keys. 5 minutes past and he comes behind me and puts his hands on my shoulder before stating he would use my confidential information on my credit application to call my supervisor on Monday. When I asked what sid he just say he clearly said "I said I will be calling your supervisor, N****r" WHERE, HOW OR WHEN has that ever been acceptable way of doing business? I am utterly offended as well as appalled that this behavior and racial slurs are acceptable at Ron Carter. Be aware that your confidential information can and will be used against you at Ron Carter. I have already been in contact with a local lawyer regarding this threat. I now had my keys and began to leave while CHRISTIAN KARAMISTSOS ran with his tail tucked between his legs to the finance office to hide after his remark. When I approached another employee to get his name, CHRISTIAN KARAMISTSOS storms out of the office in front of a sales floor full of people to come within inches of my face like he wanted to get into a physical altercation. While walking he yells "if you have a problem say it to my face" to me. After setting this example for not only his employees but also his customers he had the audacity to again yell my employers name threatening he'd be calling my supervisor on Monday while running away once again. He then yelled out my credit score to the lobby before I decided not to make the matter physical but instead walk away. CHRISTIAN KARAMISTSOS behavior is one I have never been treated as such in any place of business and especially not in a place you are there to spend thousands of dollars. This man deserves to be fired and held accountable for his behavior in the court of law. I will be taking further legal action as well as reporting to a civil rights group. More

Worse Customer Relations EVER This is my fourth Genesis and Hyundai purchased or leased since 2011 and I might as well as have come to this dealership for the first time. The servi This is my fourth Genesis and Hyundai purchased or leased since 2011 and I might as well as have come to this dealership for the first time. The service shown and respect given to me was nonexistent. I brought the $42000 sale in to the dealer without and prior negotiations and once I signed on the dotted line the same day, the General Manager, Scott Kimbrough lied repeatedly to me about the dealership making good on their promise to satisfy the errors made in delivered of my new 2019 Hyundai Santa fe Ultimate. It has takes three weeks to get installation of the trailer hitch purchased on the closing date. Promises were repeatedly give by Scott Kimbrough that I would received special treatment to makeup for the disrespectful treatment. Lies upon lies. Some of the documentation department also lacks professionalism. The best department for this dealership is run by Service Manager, Patrick McClellan. The porters are very personable and professional. The receptionists are also very friendly and professional. Service Advisers are knowledgeable and friendly. This dealership will never receive my new car business again. Even after the disrespectful treatment I received I was willing to bring another $42000 sale to the dealership but decided not to subject my friend to this dealership's poor treatment. Ron Carter's Board needs to "clean house" More

Fraudulent Advertising The online website advertises currently 17 new 2018 SEL Elantras. I was in communication with a sales rep and given a misleading quote that confirmed The online website advertises currently 17 new 2018 SEL Elantras. I was in communication with a sales rep and given a misleading quote that confirmed the online price (plus sales tax, titles and fees etc) of about 13,500. When we arrived to our appointment at the dealership we were told that ALL 17 of the 2018 Elantras had been used as loaner cars and had about 3,000 to 6,000 miles on them (no indication of this on the website-). Furthermore, they were locked in the service station and the only guy with the key would not be in until Monday, so we couldn't see any of them. The cars are being sold as new because they have not been licensed by anyone other than the dealer even though they had thousands of miles on them. The quotes given on the "new" 2018 Elantras and the new 2019 Elantras were much higher than the online quote that brought me in the door. I ended up buying a 2018 Elantra at Baytown Hyundai for $3500 less than the best offer from Ron Carter on their 2018 models. Additionally, the Baytown Hyundai had 18 miles on it instead of 4,000 plus. I would not recommend this dealer to anyone. You will end up paying much more and the great deals advertised on line absolutely do not materialize once you walk in the door. More
