Disingenuous sales tactic

Just very non transparent as to the final price and what all was included in the agreed and signed contract.

The PR Person, Kimberly, Is Very Nice and Gets a 5 Star, but Not the Dealership

Kimberly called, listened empathetically, and scheduled my driver's side window repair and also made arrangements for me to have a loaner while the window is being replaced. What she did is what ANY DEALERSHIP SHOULD DO WHEN SELLING A DAMAGED NEW CAR. She listened as I recanted my experience at the dealership, but she explained that there was nothing she could do about advertised e-price discrepancy and what I paid for the SUV. She did agree to relay to the managers how I felt when neither of them would get out of their chairs to talk to me in person about the final paperwork and the cracked window.
IT was explained to me that this score only has to do with how my dissatisfaction was handled AFTER the sale. If I could give Kimberly a 5 star I would because she was friendly and empathetic. As for Crain Hyundai as a dealership and trying to explain what makes this place so great or not in a few words, I did that with my original rating. If a person who could actually discuss with me the lack of transparency and could make an attempt to reconcile the mishandling of the sale AND the treatment I received, my score would be different. At least I got a phone call and a scheduled appointment.

Transparency Issue

Hyundai makes excellent, high quality, highly rated vehicles, but when shopping online, make sure you know WHICH Crain dealership offers the car or SUV you have found. Take a photo of the vehicle and the price at which it is offered to make sure the salesperson knows you are aware of the price Crain has advertised the car. Because I found the Santa Fe I wanted online on a Crain website, I thought that price would be honored if the Little Rock dealership sent for that vehicle at the North Little Rock dealership. My $2000 mistake.
The SUV I bought was being used as a NLR manager's car and had 2500 miles on it and a small crack in the driver's side window. The Little Rock dealership did not want to pay to have the window replaced because I was told the North Little Rock dealership was a different dealership and should be responsible. My salesperson did step in at that point and ask that the service department in Little Rock take care of it and bill North Little Rock. I guess the general managers agreed because that is what I was told. I was not invited into their office, In fact, I felt like I was not welcome into their office and neither of the general managers would even give me eye contact.
I am totally impressed by the Santa Fe. It is an outstanding SUV! Hyundai is making so many excellent vehicles, but choose your dealership carefully. Choose your salesperson carefully. I have read that the service department at Crain Little Rock is very good, and after the sale, that is what is important, but navigate your deal very carefully, and never make the same mistake that I did thinking that if Crain offers a price in Conway or North Little Rock that Little Rock will honor it.

Poor customer service

Was not clear about purchase price I.e. told us about medical professional discounts AFTER we agreed on price and then came back to act like those discounts are what got us to the price which was false.
Promised us they would take care of tint that was included by getting vehicle to/from and providing us with car and scheduling an appointment only to be phoned to say we were to go to an address and they would “work us in” taking only 15 minutes without even making sure that day worked for our schedules and the tint place took over an hour.
Talked badly about my car I was trading in as if that was going to help him make a sale? You should not bad mouth what the customer owns.
We wanted to finance our car for 5 years but we were not even given a choice of time frame until after we signed paperwork that said it would be 6 years. And when brought this concern up to salesman, he just shrugged it off saying we can just pay it off sooner.
We were not ever told interest percentage which was strange and had to ask for monthly payment information which should be shown to us upfront.
We have seen commercials regarding 0%APR financing, no payment for 3 months and $1000 off which none of this was offered or applied to our sale.
Felt like we were being judged and disrespected because of our age when he found out we owned a house, owned our cars, were medical professionals, etc as if that is impossible to do

The Palisade is my favorite vehicle purchase of all time.

I have had many new vehicles in my near seventy years and I’ve never enjoyed the process of buying a new car. This time, purchasing the Palisade was very pleasant. The team at Crain Hyundai made the purchasing process quick and efficient. If you are considering a vehicle purchase, I am confident in recommending Mr. Tevin Cooley. He is friendly and knowledgeable. We had a seven year old vehicle we traded in. For seven years, we received too much communication from the other un-named dealership. After every service, we would receive one to two phone calls, and no less than five email request to give feedback on the service department. It was so irritating. Especially because we responded quickly to the surveys. After every request to numerically rate the service/dealer, the survey requested a written summary of why you gave the numerical rate. It was too much.

We purchased our vehicle three weeks ago, maybe four weeks ago. I am thrilled to report, Crain has called us once, and emailed us twice. The first email was to thank us and to introduce us to the Hyundai app. The second email was to request feedback. So simple. Zero pressure. We appreciate Mr Cooley and the dealership for not chasing us or requesting numerous reviews.

We are first time Hyundai customers and I love the Palisade. The interior is so comfortable and has so many features. Go see Tevin. Tell him we said Hello.

I tend to get a very welcoming experience each time I visit this dealership because of the relationships that we have developed over many years!…

Antonio Shawders, Anthony Hicks, and DeWayne Perry all created for us a favorable flow during our purchase process! We started planning our purchase nearly a year ago, and we stayed in contact with each other the whole time discussing availability, pricing, trends, and other matters! Our purchase date was sort of enigmatic due to the fact that we were originally there only to get my wife’s car serviced! The more we talked as we waited for service, it just seemed that timing and availability meshed, and the process finally came to fruition! That’s a great group of guys that are quite knowledgeable and well-experienced in their respective crafts, and they worked well as a team to make our purchase process seamless!
