Kevin was friendly, helpful, and spent a lot of time assisting me with the purchase and financing. I appreciate his effort as a salesperson.
Unfortunately, the overall dealership experience was disappointing. I had an appointment scheduled with Mr. Rob, but he was not available, and the process was handled by Kevin. The vehicle had visible dust and about 45 miles on it before the test drive. After the car was washed and the paperwork was completed, I noticed a dent. I was told it would be repaired, but after multiple follow‑ups over the next 2–3 weeks, I was informed the part could not be fixed and that it was considered a Hyundai manufacturing issue. There was also visible trunk door misalignment, which I was told was “common.”
During a long trip, another Hyundai dealer questioned whether the car had been in an accident due to panel misalignment and identified a charging port door issue. Although they agreed it required repair, the necessary parts were on backorder.
I was also told that a mandatory $499 fee was added because a “ceramic coating” was already applied to all vehicles and could not be removed; however, the product applied was Permaplate, not a true ceramic coating, which made this explanation misleading. Combined with other dealer‑added items totaling approximately $2–3k, this added to the frustration.
Overall, this experience felt like taking delivery of a vehicle that needed multiple fixes, rather than a brand‑new car. While Kevin did his job well, the post‑sale support, communication, and transparency were poor.
