Brandon Hyundai

I bought my car a year and 6 months ago from Brandon Hyundai and have had the WORST experience ever. I would never recommend buying from your dealership to anyone I know. It all started with my sales ex Hyundai and have had the WORST experience ever. I would never recommend buying from your dealership to anyone I know. It all started with my sales experience, they say that you will get free oil changes for a year. However, in reality you only get 3 in a year. I had to go back three days in a row right after purchasing the car because there finance department was having issues getting everything correct. I have had to take my car in 4 times for recalls since I purchased it and I purchased the car because of the great gas mileage and soon realized that was not the case and the only thing you have done regarding that is reimburse me only for a fraction of what I would save with the mileage. Then on my recent visit that broke the camels back, my car was making awful noises when I would turn and felt as if the tires where going to fall off of my car. I brought it in Saturday the 7th to have the problem looked at and have my oil change done I also told them that my low tire pressure light was on. We told the sales guy what the issues were and they stated they would have it fixed. We dropped of my car and not even an hour later the sales guy asked us to come back because they couldn't find the issue. Keep in mind it was a very noticeable problem and we don't live in a close proximity just to stop by all the time. After driving the car ourselves with one of the service people they found the issue right away it was my axle. We pulled back into the dealership and they had to check if the part was in stock and of course it was not. Well this was another issue because we would have to take it in again the following Saturday to have it worked on and they said it would take all day. This would leave me without a car again all day and I had Dr.s appointments scheduled that day. So the service guy Johnny told me that I could drop off my car on Friday the 13th and pick up a loaner car for the weekend. Come Friday I came to drop off my car and pick up the loaner and they stated they had no loaners in stock and Johnny was no where to be found when he said he would be working that day. After showing how upset I was it took them 20 minutes to find me a loaner car to drive. Also from the time I took it in on the 7th and told them the issues and about my low tire pressure light being on they stated they fixed it and put air in my tire. Then come before Friday the 13th my tire had gone COMPLETELY flat twice. I called the dealership to notify them of this. When I brought my car in on the 13th I let them know again what was going on. After have my car there all day Saturday and Monday I picked up my car yesterday and they told me all the problems were fixed and my tires where good. This morning I wake up to a flat tire again. Completely unhappy and will never buy from your dealership ever again!!!!!!!! More

Brandon Hyundai of Tampa is an unethical and poorly ran car dealership that does not honor its own policies. I found a certified preowned Hyundai Genesis 2013 listed online for $27,500 and 1,597 miles. I c car dealership that does not honor its own policies. I found a certified preowned Hyundai Genesis 2013 listed online for $27,500 and 1,597 miles. I called the dealership to ask them if the listing price was correct and they told me any numbers they post online must be honored in store. We set an appointment for 5 o'clock the next day to test drive the vehicle. After we got off the phone I sent them an email to confirm that I would be there at 5 o'clock the next day. I live in Orlando so the next day I drove from Orlando to Tampa to test drive the vehicle. When I got to the dealership the sales representative (Alex) informed me that the owner decided to take the vehicle I made an appointment for and go pick up his friend from the airport and wouldn't be back for the rest of the day. They had wasted my time and gas money. I had to go home and come back the next day. When I came back the next day I test drove the vehicle and loved it. I asked Alex again $27,500 is the listing price for the car and he said yes. Alex and myself went inside and start to negotiate numbers. We agree my Nissan Altima 2005 that has 87,000 miles on it was worth about $5,000 and I would pay the remaining $22,000 for the Hyundai Genesis certify vehicle I just test drove. Alex left the table and when into the back to confirm all the numbers so we could finalized the deal. He come back out and said “I'm sorry but I cannot sell you this vehicle. The vehicle is no longer for sale my manager said the listed price online is incorrect it should be 31,500. At this point I am blown away by the turn of events. I asked what about my paperwork. I have the paperwork right here saying $27,500 and you have told me for two days that was the price. Plus your store policy is “ we will honor any prices we list online.” Alex says “my manager does not care I cannot sell you this car at this price”. The dealership claimed because the price was incorrectly listed and the miles were also improperly listed that the advertisement did not matter. They listed the car as having 1,570 miles on it but it really has 3,443 miles. I told them that the miles did not matter because the pricing was more important and if their store policy was to always honor online listed prices than they should sell me the car at that pice. Alex said “ I am sorry but we are done here.” So now I have drove from Orlando to Tampa two days in a row just to see this vehicle that they had told me was one price was really another. For two days we discussed numbers on the phone and in person. Then when it gets to signing time they hiked the price up by $5,000 and refused to honor their listed price online. I went home that night and looked at the vehicle online. The dealership updated its price to $31,500 but did not update the mileage. They are lying about what the mileage on the vehicle is. This was a very nice car but for anybody reading this online under consumer reviews. This car is used by the owners as there extra car. After two days of dealing with Brandon Hyundai of Tampa I have concluded that they are the most unethical, disorganized and poorly ran dealership that I have ever been to. People should not trust them. They false advertise and do not honor their own store policies. This is a bad place to do business. I have sent this letter to the Better Business Bureau. More

BRANDON HYUNDAI SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!! I started by contacting Brandon Florida Hyundai this past Friday night on my way home from work, I was driving so I didn’t write down the “Internet Ma I started by contacting Brandon Florida Hyundai this past Friday night on my way home from work, I was driving so I didn’t write down the “Internet Manager” name I spoke with at 1800 hours, he promised a callback with numbers on an Elantra base within 15-30 minutes, guess what no callback so I start on Saturday morning by contacting the GM Dan who runs a TV ad saying if your experience was not good contact me on the store web site and tell me, “I will fix it.’ I sent the email and 3 minutes later I get a callback from Earl an Internet manager saying how sorry he was about how I was treated, what can he do to help me, I explain again what I am looking for my son, the Elantra base no bells & whistles. I explain I would see him between 1400-1500 hours that afternoon as we had other plans for the morning. Another 10 minutes later I get a call from “Anthony” who claims he is calling on Mr. Norris. behalf and he wants to fix the error from Friday night, so I have to explain to him once again what I am looking for and I explain to him when I would be there, but I also explain to him I had already spoken with Earl but “Anthony” says he is calling directly because Mr. Norris. asked to act on his behalf. I ask “Anthony” to get with Earl and sort out who is going to work with me and he says he will but it will be him because Mr. Norris. specifically asked him to call me. I say that is good, I told “Anthony” where I needed to be on lease payment and purchase payment the first time we spoke and details of the car we were looking at for our son, “Anthony” says we can get there on either payment easy. I explain to “Anthony” that we are turning in my sons 2010 Mazda 6 lease with 5000 miles on it when we purchased 36000 miles on the lease, “Anthony” says we can use that as a trade in since the miles are so exceptionally low, they will pay us several thousand dollars above our lease turn in numbers for a exceptionally low mileage vehicle like that, guess what another LIE. Anthony” calls me back 12 times before I arrive at the dealership and lo and behold “Anthony” is not his real name, it is Amir and guess what he had never spoken to Earl who is whom we meet when we get to the showroom. “Amir” also LIED to me numerous times on the phone saying Mr. N. was waiting for me to personally apologize to us, guess what another LIE Mr. Norris. had been gone for over an hour for the day already. “ Amir” comes and tosses some keys at Earl and then sulks in the background like a baby who lost his favorite toy when we depart for the test drive with Earl, needless to say they never spoke about who was going to work with me as I had asked numerous times. I had asked both Earl and Amir on the phone who I had spoken to the previous evening and when I got there they claimed they couldn’t track the phone call, but somehow they had no problem making a combined 17 calls to me at the same number. Then please let me get to the numbers and how messed up they were, as previously stated I had given them both ballpark numbers we needed to be at, they both claim on the phone , “We won’t lose a Repeat Hyundai buyer deal on numbers”, guess what another LIE, they lost the deal on NUMBERS, HONESTY and STUPIDITY. Their lease numbers were over a $100 dollars a month above both Chevy & Mazda and their purchase numbers were over $50 a month above both as well. Mr. Norris FIX the people who represent you to the public, “Amir should be terminated immediately for all the LIES he told us starting with his name, tell me your real name not an English name you choose for convenience, PLEASE”. Earl Kober shouldn’t promise things on the phone he can’t deliver in person when you show up ready to do BUSINESS!!!!!!! More

My husband and I saw an ad on the website for an Equus 2012 vin: KMHGH4JH4CU052629 exterior: White Satin Pearl mileage: 9,654 (price approx 47K) We drove from Clearwater to see it and the salesper 2012 vin: KMHGH4JH4CU052629 exterior: White Satin Pearl mileage: 9,654 (price approx 47K) We drove from Clearwater to see it and the salesperson said the one parked outside wasn't it, that it was probably inside in the showroom. When we went inside he wasn't sure that was it and got in the car to check the mileage, the tag was in the high 60K's. No, he said this isn't it either, it probably sold. That was 1/30/13. It is still on the website and as far as I can see is bait to come in. In my opinion this practice is untrustworthy and I will not be revisiting. More

John and Joe were amazingly friendly and not your typical slick, greasy, car salesmen. I needed a car on a budget, and they quickly found something to fit my needs. The car was used and had a few flaws. They slick, greasy, car salesmen. I needed a car on a budget, and they quickly found something to fit my needs. The car was used and had a few flaws. They offered to have everything fixed with no extra cost to my bottom line. The final price was lower than anticipated. The car came with 1/8th of a tank of gas, and Joey, being the good guy he is, offered money from his own pocket to fill the tank! This dealership is full of genuine, hard working salespeople. The finance guy (Robert) made signing my name 15 times less agonizing than it could have been. He was very experienced in the business and knowledgeable. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Brandon Hyundai! More

This is the second Santa Fe I have purchased from this dealership. The service/ maintaince that I recieved on the first five years of my first Santa Fe was outstanding. My warrenty had expired so I went t dealership. The service/ maintaince that I recieved on the first five years of my first Santa Fe was outstanding. My warrenty had expired so I went to the dealership to look around, saw a 2012 new Santa Fe that I liked but it had all the bells and whistles I really was not looking for.I met Rob Danley, he talked with me honestly and he realized I owned my 2007, had no payments and was very happy with my car. He was most willing to do everything possible to get me into the new car, with trade-in and financing. He,s one of the most up-front car salesman I have ever met, and will continue to work with this dealership in the future. I can wholeheartedly recommed Brandon Hyundai and Rob Danley to anyone who wants to be treated fairly and get a great automobile! More

I tried to get a Hyundai Elantra from another dealer in Sarasota and all they wanted to do was play the ol' switcheroo and screw around on prices. I called Dave (new car sales manager) and told him what i Sarasota and all they wanted to do was play the ol' switcheroo and screw around on prices. I called Dave (new car sales manager) and told him what i was looking for and the price that i needed. Even over the phone he pulled out his invoices and we started to figure out if i could work it out. I went in to see him after work, and while he was in a meeting i met a new employee who was Great! Zack Soto!! He was the atypical car salesman, he was not pushy at all, and really just cared about me and not just selling cars ( he was not a lot hound). I was trading in an older Nissan and the used car manger Mo stepped up to really help get the deal done. I cant say enough great things about these guys. Even doing the final paperwork with the finance manger was quick and easy. I will go back to Brandon Hyundai first before checking with any other dealer and would gladly reccomend them to family and friends. My Name is Gordon Lippe and i bought a new 2013 Hyundai Elantra from Brandon Hyundai on September 28 2012 More
