I had come to see Doug earlier this year to talk to him about purchasing a new car. I didn't have enough money to make any real financial decisions at that time, so he said to me, "Come back at the end of about purchasing a new car. I didn't have enough money to make any real financial decisions at that time, so he said to me, "Come back at the end of summer and I will make it happen for you!". He absolutely meant what he said. Two weeks ago I leased a 2012 vehicle all with the help and constant friendliness and love from Doug. He made this experience extremely stress free, even when I would overthink every detail. He honestly made this one of the easiest financial experiences I have ever had to deal with. I wouldn't go to any other dealer because Doug is truly a part of my family and I can honestly say that he is the salesman with a heart. A BIG heart! You can tell that he loves his customers, and you can tell that they love him. It's nice to know that you can just stop by with a coffee and sit down with him and chat about what is going on with your life, all because you feel that he truly cares. He is the best car salesman to work with in the industry! Wherever he may go after his days at this company, I will absolutely follow him. Gotta love Big D! He's the best! More
Doug is a great person to deal with and has remained a friend. He sometimes calls us just to say "Hello, how you doing". I like the page he does monthly and sends to his customers. I hav bought about a do friend. He sometimes calls us just to say "Hello, how you doing". I like the page he does monthly and sends to his customers. I hav bought about a dozen new vehicles over the years, after which I was just a salesperson's "commission". Not so with Doug. He is truly a "Salesman with a heart". Miguel came from the Ford dealer and I remember he was always very pleasant to work with. I am glad he came over to Hyundai. He is very caring to customers needs. More
I have bought a few cars in my young life, and before I met Matthew Gelinas aka Professor Hyundai, I purchased a Truck from auto fair under the old ownership. The sales guy at the time, who I don't remembe met Matthew Gelinas aka Professor Hyundai, I purchased a Truck from auto fair under the old ownership. The sales guy at the time, who I don't remember his name did the typical sales maneuver and pressured me into buy a car I really like, and played off my emotions as a young person buy his first car alone, which in turn was something that was out of my price range. I in later found out that I paid a too much for my truck that I bought. Which would xxxx any one off and at my young age, I was naive and learned from my mistake but also put a very bad taste in my mouth when I spoke of my experience with autofair. I bought another car at a different dealership, but after 6 months I didn't like, so once again I was shopping for another car. I was comparing a car I wanted at another dealership, and I wanted to test drive a similar car which autofair only had in the area. When I walked into autofair, I met Matthew, and I actually told him my story as I have told you now. Matt was surprised I even walked back into this dealership because of the poor customer services and the typical sales tactics at that time. Matt is like no other sales person I have met, and he helped me find the car that suits my needs with no pressure attached, and the typical garbage that you have to deal with sales person. I was so happy with the price he was able to get me on my new car, and his customer service is above anybody, I have ever met that it blows anybody out of the water. When I hear people say that they are car shopping me immediately tell them to go see Matt, as you will not meet any person like him! Now after you buy a car how much interaction would you normally have with a sales person? The usual answer is none, but that is not the case with Matt. He encourages you to contact him, to set up any type of appointment for vehicle maintenance, inquiring about a new car, or just to talk about random stuff. I give Matthew Gelinas and 10 out of 10.

My visit to Autofair Hyundai was easily the worst shopping experience of my life. This dealership is ALL about high pressure and poor value. They roll out every classic tactic one might fear from a shopping experience of my life. This dealership is ALL about high pressure and poor value. They roll out every classic tactic one might fear from a dishonest, greedy dealership (but not, mind you, from every dealership in the area—I received great treatment elsewhere). Initially I deal with Adrian, who is very courteous and makes easy conversation while putting my information in his computer. Right away I tell him I have been to their competitor Grappone Hyundai who gave me a very good price for the car I am shopping for equipped with an automatic transmission and some nice options, but I want to see what Autofair can offer. Then the games really begin. I hand Adrian a copy of the quote from Grappone right off so he knows the ballpark he needs to play in. He says, “don’t even worry about it,” as if he would have no trouble beating their price, and then immediately tries to switch the conversation to financing (dirty tactic number one). I insisted that I was only interested in the cash price for a car. He leaves to talk to his manager and comes back with a price that is indeed about $200 lower than Grappone’s quote, but for a base model manual transmission car (the manual alone means it should sell for $1200 less than the auto). Adrian tries to move as quickly as possible back to securing financing before I notice this switch. I hand him my research instead, showing invoice and approximate dealer costs, and explain that I need Autofair to match the discount that Grappone gave me, which was $575 below invoice. Adrian now just sits in silence. I know this tactic too, and I am better at it so I stay silent for longer. He finally lets out a little “uhhh…” and goes back to his manager’s office. Sales Manager Jean Turgeon comes out with Adrian to take over our “negotiations” which are anything but that. Jean may be good at pulling the strings on his sales assistant puppets but is himself a real customer service disaster—exceedingly rude and condescending right off. It seems like he has come out just to get rid of me. I try to explain the offer I have from Grappone, but as soon as I utter their name he cuts me off with an arrogant and dismissive tone: “yeah I’ve heard of them.” I continue going over his costs and what I expect to pay, but he quickly interrupts again: “where’s my profit?” Wow! Like I care about his profit. I continue to be polite and reasonable, though, pointing out that Grappone has been a viable business for some 80 years and must know how to turn a profit too. If he can’t match their deal, no hard feelings—I’ll buy from Grappone instead. That’s business, right? Jean says about Autofair’s offer “but that’s MSRP—why would I sell a car for less than MSRP?” I actually laugh at him a little at this point. He persists… Blah, blah, “where’s my profit” a couple more times, blah, blah... Finally, in his greatest moment of condescension yet, he offers to take $100 off “if that makes you feel better”. What a guy! I tell him to just put his best offer in writing and I’ll shop it around. He refuses to put anything in writing! “Why would I do that—you have my word,” he says. I say “that’s not good enough” and I walk out and go straight back to Grappone and buy my car at a great price with zero pressure and sales and finance people who are truly grateful for my business. Don’t bother with Autofair Hyundai! They depend on taking advantage of uninformed or hurried people instead of earning their profits. They are rude, dishonest and coercive. They practice finance-first and bait-and-switch tactics designed to fool customers into paying more. They will hardly budge from MSRP and their dealer fees are the highest around. If you go there looking for a reasonable deal they will make you feel unwelcome until you either cave in or leave. Try Grappone instead! More
I have had a car through AutoFair Honda in the past and had a great experience there. I decided earlier this year to go to AutoFair Hyundai to look at the new Elantra. It was cool, but I was at the time al had a great experience there. I decided earlier this year to go to AutoFair Hyundai to look at the new Elantra. It was cool, but I was at the time also looking at another manufacturer and did not want to make a decision. I came back a couple of weeks later for a car appraisal. It was at that point that I thought I'd never be writing this review, nor would I be returning to AutoFair Hyundai! Things got a little pushy, much more than I had expected. I went for an appraisal, not to purchase a car WHILE the appraisal was being made. I said to the dealership that I would not return to their Hyundai portion. Man, how things changed! I expressed my dissatisfaction with my prior experience. I received a phone call within five minutes from leadership in the company. I got in touch with the dealership about wanting to look again at perhaps the Elantra and the Sonata. We talked about upcoming cars, how they work with customer's credit, and other areas. It made me understand their business more and at the same time they understood me as a consumer more. When I decided that I wanted to narrow my choices down to a Sonata, a Charger, and I believe a Lancer (three unique vehicles, I know!) I got in touch again and was referred to Matt Gelinas/Professor Hyundai. Matt is the reason I am writing this review today. He was amazing from start to finish. He took notes when I went for my initial visit to go over and see the cool new BlueLink system. He knew within 15 minutes what color, style, and power of car I wanted to get. He knew what was in transit and pointed me immediately to a car that was soon to be coming in. I put a small deposit down to hold the car and approximately two weeks later I ended up leasing a 2012 Sonata SE Turbo from Matt. The two weeks leading up, there was a lot of good interaction with Matt. We discussed the car, he kept me updated on the intransit status, and since it seemed to be delayed by a few days we even looked at other options - just in case! The car arrived and Matt Facebooked, called and texted me right away. I went over and the deal was done at the payment I wanted. More important than the great pre and day of sale interaction has been the post sale interaction. I've had the car for only about 25 days. I did have a little paint chip in delivery. All taken care of! I had a stitching issue with the cloth/leather insert area (common issue, unfortunately). All taken care of! I had a nit picky thing on a part inside my door. Being taken care of now through a special order! Matt worked to have the car re-cleaned and checked out through the recon department. He has been on the phone with Hyundai on my behalf while we worked out some glitches with BlueLink. He's been everywhere all at once. As someone who is in sales management, I can really respect it when you're a customer and you feel the person you're working with is really at all places at all times. Matt has always been quick to respond and I look forward to an exciting 35 more months (maybe more if I buy out after the lease!) with my lease on the Sonata. Great car, great sales consultant...and a renewed faith in the AutoFair Hyundai brand! More
Matthew Gelinas (aka Professor Hyundai) was a pleasure to work with when I recently purchased a new car. Matt took the time to get to know me and my needs, suggested cars that best met those needs, as well a work with when I recently purchased a new car. Matt took the time to get to know me and my needs, suggested cars that best met those needs, as well as steered me clear of cars that he felt wouldn’t fulfill what I needed in a car. The result was me purchasing a car that I absolutely love and enjoy driving. It suits my professional and personal needs. I highly recommend Matt for your next vehicle purchase. More
AutoFair just gets it. You need a car, they have cars. They want you to be happy and be in a great car. Gregg, Tony, and Gene are some of the best people I have ever dealt with. After visiting 7-8 deal They want you to be happy and be in a great car. Gregg, Tony, and Gene are some of the best people I have ever dealt with. After visiting 7-8 dealerships over the last few weeks, AutoFair Hyundai was the best experience. They are smart, professional, and friendly. Definitely check them out! I know this isn't a car review site, but just saying: The Hyundai Elantra Touring is awesome! Fun to drive, good fuel economy (getting 33mpg mixed and still breaking it in), sharp looking wagon, super family friendly, and great value. Other vehicles I drove that the Touring bests: Focus, Altima, Cruze (eco and LS), Accord, Mazda3 (4 and 5 door), Impreza and Jetta. More
Go in there and ask for Doug. The guy is great. I bought a great car from him at an even better price. He's a straight shooter, no bs kind of salesman who doesn't try to push you into buying a car. bought a great car from him at an even better price. He's a straight shooter, no bs kind of salesman who doesn't try to push you into buying a car. He does a great job figuring out your needs and helping you select the right car. After making a purchase with him he makes sure that you are satisfied with your new car. I had a few very minor issues with mine and he made sure that they were cleared up the next day- he even refused to let certain guys do touch up work on the car because he only wanted the best people in the shop to work on the cars he sold. Great salesman, great guy. Go to Doug! More
Ayman Hashim was extremely professional. His knowledge about the Hyundai product was very impressive. He helped us choose a car that met our needs. We would buy another car from him every time.

This is the 2nd car I purchased from him and the experiance just keeps getting better. Also since Drew Hill became GM of Autofair, he along with Doug have change the reputation of the company for the better. You can't go wrong when working with these guys. Drew's customer service Rocks to say the least. I have never been so happy with a dealer before. Thank you and keep up the good work guys. Always a pleasure working with you. More
