My rating had nothing to do with Anne Sand. She was awesome. She made our car buying trip pleasant. She is an asset to that company Don Bessette Mts. She gets 5 stars for working with us, giving us a super deal.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your recent purchase at Don Bessette Hyundai. We greatly appreciate the fact that you took the time to fill out our SureCritic review!  I know that Terry was on vacation when you made your purchase at the dealership, so we would like to visit with you about your recent experience and how we can improve. Mr Epps values his guests and believes in giving his guests top notch service; the fact that the dealership fell short on his behalf is unfortunate! Please give Terry or myself a call so we can serve you better in any future dealership visits.

Thank you again -

Everyone was helpful and friendly.
The salesman listened to my wish list for a new car and then suggested that we build it. So we did that and I went home and forgot about it. Several months later I received a phone call from my salesman letting me know my car was in. I found it hard to believe it was there as it was built in Korea, shipped across the ocean and then transported to North Dakota! I recommend Don Bessette to any one who would like a vehicle of any kind.

Hello Joshua ~

I want to offer my sincerest apologies for the sales experience you recently had from Don Bessette Hyundai! The whole sales process should have been handled differently and this is not how we do business with our guests.
The sales person that you interacted with is no longer employed by us and we want to do everything we can to instill new trust and accomodate any needs you have from here forward.
I would like to personally offer you a full delivery of features at our store and a full clean up when you are able to come in to Minot. Please let me know your earliest convience to schedule it for you. I can be reached at 701.852.3300 and again, may I offer my deepest apologies!!
Sincerely,
Kristi Burgess, GSM
