Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback about your IONIQ 5 purchase! We’re especially glad Jalen’s knowledge of the vehicle’s features stood out. When you’re comparing vehicles and dealerships, having someone who can confidently explain how everything works can make a huge difference. We’re also happy Juan made the paperwork process straightforward and took the time to walk you through your options, including the extended warranty. It’s important that customers understand what they’re considering and feel comfortable with their decisions. We’ll be sure Jalen and Juan see your kind words. Congratulations on your IONIQ 5, and thank you for choosing South Bay Hyundai!

We’re sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling rushed or as though your business was not valued. We understand how frustrating it must have been to encounter a delay with your bank and then feel pressured by the finance team rather than given the time needed to resolve the issue. We also regret that Jalen was unavailable at the time of your appointment. Your comments regarding the finance process, scheduling, and overall customer service have been shared with our management team for review. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
