I was in a bad loan with 25% interest, no warranty and no way out. I came to Fitzgerald and Kale worked with me for 3 days until we got an approval with very little money down. He did not make me feel any pr way out. I came to Fitzgerald and Kale worked with me for 3 days until we got an approval with very little money down. He did not make me feel any pressure, like most sales people I have went to. I met Debbie, who made life so easy for me. She had such a great personality and was very informative and friendly. I have a few friends I am going to refer to Kale and Debbie. I have always had a Ford everything from mustang to escape. This is my first Hyundai and I love it and the warranty package. I have 2 kids and a warranty means everything to me. Thanks to Debbie and Kale, who made my car situation stress free now. I feel great about my new car and the deal that I received. if only other sales people were as approachable as they were. Thank you Hyundai. Jennifer Gilbride More

For anyone familiar with being a first time buyer it is not a walk in the park. To add onto that obstacle I am 22. After having wasted months hunting for a used or new car, I decided to take my co-workers not a walk in the park. To add onto that obstacle I am 22. After having wasted months hunting for a used or new car, I decided to take my co-workers advice and take a trip to Fitzgerald. From the minute I had contacted Adam he demonstrated the emphasis they place on customer service and satisfaction. I received several calls from Adam within the hour that I had called him inquiring about a Genesis Coupe. Various other dealerships either called looking to sway me into another car or simply never called back. On 01/24/14 when I met Adam at Fitzgerald, he wanted to show me what he had in stock in terms of the Genesis Coupe right off from the start. I did not feel pressured to focus on any particular car including the GC. Since I haven't driven manual cars in quite some time, he did not mind taking his time to ensure that I felt safe in the car as well as comfortable. I was absolutely amazed with the 2013 Genesis Coupe R-Spec from the minute I sat in the driver seat. Following the demonstration, I was introduced to Debbie Greene who would be taking over the financial aspect of the deal. I would like to clarify that Adam and Debbie are some of the most amazing individuals I have met. Being as how I have no credit due to paying everything in cash (I believe if I don't have the money for it then I can't buy it, but my family need a 4th car and a replacement to my current one which was not in working condition). Every other dealership I went to flat out said I was not approved by ANY bank or finance institution for a USED car. Yet somehow they said I could be approved for a new car....? Either way, Debbie was straight forward and told me what the odds were of getting financed with my current situation making sure that I did not get my hopes up and stayed focused on the facts. The first offer I received was to get financed at 16% which is obviously higher than anyone would venture off to agree to. In her expertise she managed to contact various financial bodies and acquired financing for my car at 8.75%, which albeit is a high interest rate, it was in her professional judgment that it would be the best offer for me given my nonexistent credit history. I also signed for the financing and car with no cosigner. I walked in at 2pm on friday and by 6pm I was out of the front door driving a new 2013 Genesis Coupe R-Spec. No hassle, runarounds, hidden agendas or prices. The prices Fitzgerald offers are not only competitive, but are extremely reasonable. They believe in full transparency and since the salesmen don't receive any commission they truly want you to be happy with the car you decide to buy. My family was so impressed with the way business was handled that two of our cars will need to be replaced since we've had them for almost 10 yrs a piece, and we will not be going anywhere except Fitzgerald. I apologize for this extensive review, but I felt it was the only way to truly reveal how amazing this dealership is in comparison to others that only care about the sale instead of the customer.

Debbie and Sean went out of their way to accommodate and provide service. Often it is the people who determine whether you re visit a dealership or not. Had it not been for Debbie, her acumen and straight provide service. Often it is the people who determine whether you re visit a dealership or not. Had it not been for Debbie, her acumen and straight talk we would not have returned last night and purchased a 2014 Elantra. Sean was terrific too! Both couldn't have done a better or more customer focused/oriented job for us. Thank you More

Very friendly and helpful dealership with lots of cars/models to chose from. Excellent sales rep. who got us a wonderful deal with lots of cheap/free add-ons on a new Sonata GLS. The rep. spent 5 hou cars/models to chose from. Excellent sales rep. who got us a wonderful deal with lots of cheap/free add-ons on a new Sonata GLS. The rep. spent 5 hours with us on a Sunday! Great trade-in price for our 16 year old, low-mileage Acura TL. They got us all the Hyundai incentives on this vehicle and upgraded it to a model with our desired color package at no extra cost. 10 year low cost extended manufacturer warranty and a great lifetime service contract on the car. We were so impressed with all this - as well as, of course, the Sonata - that we drove it home that day! More

Debbie has a friendly professional enthusiasm, a drive to give the best possible deal, plus wanting us to feel we have received the best deal and all around service. We appreciated her forthright challenge give the best possible deal, plus wanting us to feel we have received the best deal and all around service. We appreciated her forthright challenge to give us the best and she succeeded. The salesmen on her team are the sweetest. No one talked down to us. All were eager to answer our questions and to provide what we wanted. We left feeling that our time was productive and not wasted by "sales games". We love our new vehicle and look forward to receiving the same great service when we bring it in for check-ups and repairs. Thank you Debbie and staff. More

I originally was looking into a new Hyundai but then changed to pre-owned due to price considerations. Jason initially took care of me to show me new vehicles and help me decide exactly which model I w changed to pre-owned due to price considerations. Jason initially took care of me to show me new vehicles and help me decide exactly which model I wanted. When I called back to tell him I was interested in pre-owned, he checked the inventory to show me vehicles that fit with what we had been considering in the new vehicle. I had a "delayed pick-up" situation but everyone accommodated my needs. The only negative part of the experience was that when I did pick-up the vehicle, a warning light needed to be checked before I took the car. I waited for that, only to have the light back on right after I pulled out of the lot. I scheduled service the next week. More

In fact, my friend that came on my visit with me that day ended up being so impressed that he too left with a car. These are the right people for a great car buying experience! GO Fitzgerald! You have wonderful people on your team! Thanks Kevin and Debbie for helping make my new purchase a day to remember! More
