Colonial Hyundai Oct. 24/25, 2022 Owner - John Ashdale Salesman - Jim Ballezzi Attempted to purchase a Hyundai Santa Cruz. During the process salesman Jim Balezzi was 24/25, 2022 Owner - John Ashdale Salesman - Jim Ballezzi Attempted to purchase a Hyundai Santa Cruz. During the process salesman Jim Balezzi was verbally and physically threatening and abusive. Mr. Balezzi attempted and semi-succeded in bullying/threatening us into buying a vehicle all the while the owner, John Ashdale, listened in and did nothing himself to stop Mr. Balezzi. Mr. Balezzi verbally threatened the owner of "Joey's Pizza" that he was going to have him arrested/have the cops called on him for overcharging him for a pizza delivery that he purchased for us so we would stay at the dealership and not leave. He verbally abused/threatened this owner over the phone where all employees and customers could hear. This intimidated me enough that I went outside and called my bank to cancel the loan due to his threatening/bullying behavior. When I returned back inside Mr. Ballezzi had my bank rep on speaker phone pretending to be me and verbally giving the bank rep my social security number, address, and date of birth. I never authorized the release of this information nor for Mr. Ballezzi to write it down nor say it out loud verbally. Mr. Ballezzi was pretending to be me, giving out very private/sensitive information so he could complete a sale all the while the Owner, John Ashdale, sat feet away listening and allowing for this to occur and proceed. Mr. Balezzi charged my credit card $3,000 for a down payment and an additional $75 as a processing "fee." The dealership refused to immediately refund my card. Mr. Balezzi threw my card at me and stated "you'll get a check in 2 to 3 weeks in the mail." I persisted and he refused to refund the $75 processing fee. I contacted owner John Ashdale via email and phone. During the phone conversation he admitted that everything Mr. Balezzi did was unprofessional. Now Mr. Ashdale and Mr. Balezzi are bullying me into returning the spare key, and will not come retrieve it themselves. I feel intimidated. More

Where to start?? Um how about the sales manager with no no business ethics. Dude is trying to screw over anyone looking for a small deal on a lease and a buy I'm sure. Went to look at the G70 for a lease. no business ethics. Dude is trying to screw over anyone looking for a small deal on a lease and a buy I'm sure. Went to look at the G70 for a lease...a $52k car... I've gotten quotes for similar cars as well as other genesis dealers. This place tried to screw me how so you ask?? Went to BMW to look at a $60k car which leases for $550 a month. Went to another genesis dealer which leases for around $600 a month. What did they want? They try to gouge me for in a $52k vehicle?? $910 a month with the same exact lease requirements. So double what i was quoted for several other dealers. How does he do it?? Possibly just soulless More

Everyone I worked with or met at this dealership, with the exception of Rob Barba, was very friendly and professional. Rob Barba was the person who handled the financing and was somewhat pushy and became the exception of Rob Barba, was very friendly and professional. Rob Barba was the person who handled the financing and was somewhat pushy and became irritated when I asked to read (briefly) what was on the pile of paperwork he kept pushing in front of my face. He and he alone is responsible for the less than perfect rating for Colonial Hyundai. My Product Specialist, Tammy Zegac, was one of the most professional and helpful salespersons I have ever met. She went way above and beyond before and after the sale. All and all, it was a very pleasant experience, except for Rob. In my opinion, he would benefit from some soft skills training. More
