Pros:

Cons:

  • "I purchased my 2020 Kia saranto.from there and i went to change my oil and there told me i have a problem but its cover woth warranty. That was 8 month a go now Been waiting for a part since December.. and I called them a few times to find out what happened with part. And no one ever called me back."
  • "Only negative I have is that we never received a call when our plates arrived, we ended up calling about two days before our temporary expired to make sure they were in."
  • "Came in for a promotion that would have worked perfectly for my situation. I was shown new cars which weren't part of the promo and my salesman bad no idea what the promo was to begin with."
  • "Went back to dealership next day after calling salesman and him telling me to come back and they said they can’t help I have to go to Hyundai who wants to charge me $209 to reprogram with no guarantee it would work or 358 for a new one."
  • "Also when got home found out they snuck a 1000 interior exterior useless warranty into the price when I was clear that I didn’t want any warranties."
  • "I thought my experience was good until I left dealership got home and the remote for car didn’t work and I couldn’t lock my car."
  • "The only solution offered to me was to drive, adding a quart of oil ($11.49) every 800-1000 miles until the engine eventually seized, stalled, or potentially caught fire."
