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 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.

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,

The sales man and manager staff are great and made the sale quick and seem less. This is my second Hyundai from them and the staff was just as good and friendly as the first time.

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.

Jamilla First Car
In the beginning of this experience I was very discouraged. I was having a hard time getting approved for a loan. I had been denied 3 times and was starting to loose hope. I was talking to my old boss and was told to get in contact with Kevin Johnson at Don Bessette Hyundai. From that phone call on my first car experience was a breeze. Kevin Johnson made sure I understood everything throughout the entire process. He answered all of my questions and concerns. He was patient with me while I was at the dealer ship although it took a lot longer than expected.

We were not able to get the car I wanted, but he made sure I got a car I loved. All of the salesmen/women there are amazing. But.. Kevin Johnson made my experience a 12/10.
