Unlike other car dealerships with weird old school manipulative sales tactics, the guys at Hyundai will try to be fair. Try to do some homework before and you will be good! Thank you Ray Padilla! More

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. While we’re thrilled to hear that our finance team provided you with a smooth and professional closing process, we’re truly sorry to learn that your initial interaction with our salesperson fell short of expectations. Buying a car—especially one you’ve already fallen in love with—should feel exciting and celebrated from start to finish, and it’s clear we missed the mark in making you feel welcomed and respected from the moment you arrived. Please know that we take your feedback seriously and will be addressing this internally to ensure every guest receives the attentive, courteous service they deserve—without assumptions or disengagement. Your comments help us grow and improve, and we’re grateful you shared them. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to provide a fully positive experience in the future. Congratulations on your new car, and thank you again for giving us the opportunity to earn your business.
