Can’t believe I actually ENJOYED buying a car for once! Can’t believe I actually ENJOYED buying a car for once! Jovin was a joy from the moment we met him.

Buyer beware...the staff is friendly enough but make sure you look over your paper work and look at those mandatory $299 fees that you'll be charged. I was also disappointed that they didn't fill up the gas you look over your paper work and look at those mandatory $299 fees that you'll be charged. I was also disappointed that they didn't fill up the gas tank. I spent $14,000, the least you can do is fill up the tank before I pull off the car lot. I've never experienced that before when buying a car. Overall, not the greatest experience. More

Actual price much higher than advertised price Everyone I worked with was friendly, but that only gets you so far. They really have no business advertising on third-party websites because the Everyone I worked with was friendly, but that only gets you so far. They really have no business advertising on third-party websites because the advertised price will look reasonable, but then there are over-the-top mandatory fees and add-ons that make that price skyrocket to above market value. Any dealership customer expects about a $300 service, but then Racine Hyundai has mandatory upholstery warranty, anti-theft feature, etc. that pushes the price far higher than you were expecting when you walked in the door. For me, those extra fees made it more than $1,500 higher than the advertised price for the vehicle. The price of the vehicle is also shown as an astronomical number for the MSRP and then the alleged “discount” the customer is getting brings it down to the range it was advertised at. This is likely so they are able to get away with all the extra mandatory fees/add-ons since most banks will not allow loan money to go towards an amount that makes the loan payment exceed 110% of the MSRP. If they make the MSRP super high, they are able to have the customer’s loan money to cover those add-ons without the bank being able to say anything about it. Between the way they present the price, the fees, and the add-ons, there are many lines presented in the cost summary. I expressed surprise at how high the cost was and was then told that those are merely all mandatory fees and that this was all pretty standard. I probably should have walked away at that point but I already expressed that I would like to purchase the vehicle and I am an amiable person apparently to my own detriment. I was not offered any time to evaluate everything on the paperwork for myself and was pretty rushed through signing everything. Even though I was left on my own to wait for long periods of time, the paperwork or copies of it were never left with me. It took me till after I got home and reviewed the paperwork that I realize the game that was played and how the dealership took advantage of me. Again, I probably should have walked away earlier, but I still feel like the above practices are borderline unethical. Either way, the advertised price you see is not what you will get. I did complain about the above to one of the managers after I realized what happened and was basically told (nicely) that it was my fault because I signed the paperwork and it is important to read everything, even though I told him I was rushed through the paperwork and not offered time to look anything over on my own. COVID-19 Extra: Almost no employees were using any COVID-19 precautions. A couple employees had masks on but they were under their chins. There was no social distancing. There was hand shaking. Essentially, they were acting as if we were not experiencing a pandemic even though it was late June 2020 and the seriousness of it had dawned on most people. More

When I arrived Billy Sosbe had exactly what I had asked for up front and ready for me to test drive. He did not try to sell me on something I did not want.
