I had visited the dealership (15 May 2011) approximately two weeks before I made my purchase. That first visit, I met Chuck Wright about five minutes after looking around on the lot. He asked what I had in two weeks before I made my purchase. That first visit, I met Chuck Wright about five minutes after looking around on the lot. He asked what I had in mind (Elantra) and proceeded to show me around the vehicle. He professionally showed me the vehicle’s features from one end to other in great detail, taking time to field questions that I may have had at the time. Finally we took a test drive doing some city and highway driving. Upon return, I told him a particular color I had in mind but it was not available at that time. Chuck gave me his card and said he would call when the color arrived to the dealership. He also emailed me to answer a technical electrical question that I had during the initial visit. Chuck phoned me about four days later to say the color had arrived, but I was looking for a certain package also. We talked on the phone about three other times before I went back to the dealership on 30 May 2011 to see if they had gotten any new vehicles. I had broadened my color choices to 2 colors and was open to not opt for a certain package. Upon arrival I was greeted by a different salesperson but opted to wait for Chuck to finish taking care of the customer he had at that moment. That salesperson proceeded to take charge and start the negotiating process. After figures being scrutinized about three times by both sides, a price was finally reached, just as Chuck came through the showroom door. I had made sure that Chuck’s name was on the paperwork when the price was agreed upon with the other salesperson. Chuck and I then went through the paperwork process and then went through the new vehicle just as we both had during the initial visit. Chuck is a great salesperson. He does not use high pressure tactics or sell you something you do not want. He values your needs and wants in a new vehicle and does not try to push you into something else to make a quota. Pros: If interested in a new vehicle see Chuck Wright. Car is advertised as getting 40 mpg. I got 49.4 driving to work and back. Cons: The dealership’s website is not adequately maintained to show what vehicles are available, nor what options are on vehicles. Some of the other Hyundai dealers in the area have their vehicles listed completely and on the other hand some dealers do not even have a price or color for their vehicles. Priority Hyundai is about the middle of the road as far as website maintenance and information. Perhaps put the IT person on salary and have them update the site after the dealership closes in the evening? More
My car buying experience at Priority Hyundai was excellent. I made an appointment and the car was ready when I arrived for the test drive. Mr. Hearns was extremely knowledgeable about the sonata a excellent. I made an appointment and the car was ready when I arrived for the test drive. Mr. Hearns was extremely knowledgeable about the sonata and answered all questions. Financing and agreeing on a price was easy. I even traded in my old "clunker". I am excited and pleased with my purchase and would recommend that everyone go to Priority for an excellent car buying experience! More
All of the people I spoke with were very nice, but I never got resolution to my car repair. I had my timing chain/belt? and water pump replaced. A week later I had to have it towed in and was told tha never got resolution to my car repair. I had my timing chain/belt? and water pump replaced. A week later I had to have it towed in and was told that the timing belt tensioner had failed causing the timing belt to slip. Nothing about a tensioner was mentioned when the belt was replaced and in doing my research (afterward) it is usually recommended to replace it when the chain in replaced. They kept my car for months and then repaired it for approx. $1200.00. They kept it for another couple of months and when I went to pick it up, it sounded terrible (klunking- after being told someone had driven it all the way to N.C. to make sure it was ok). Did they drive it to N.C. sounding like that?????? I left it there and was told that part of the engine couldn't hold up to the repair and they volunteered to replace my engine. After another month I picked it up and on the same night my engine light came on. I don't even want to take it back because they must have the most incompetent mechanics ever. In addition to all that I had an Obama, 44th president hanger, hanging from my rear view mirror. It was torn off, a squa sticker and hair was drawn on his face and it was thrown in the floor. I did report it, management apologized and told me there was no way of knowing who did it because it had been there so long. More
This was an awful experience. Two weeks after buying my vehicle I'm still fighting with them about how to title it. It was absurd and they kept changing the story as to why there was a problem with the tit vehicle I'm still fighting with them about how to title it. It was absurd and they kept changing the story as to why there was a problem with the title. They sent it in wrong and now it can't be fixed. I only got one key and they refused to give me another one without paying for it. I also had to pay $100 to get a remote that is supposed to come with the car. I will never buy another car from there ever again. Nor will anyone I know. More
