Elgin Hyundai

A very poor dealership experience. Shop here at your peril because these folks will try to take advantage of you/rip you off if you go there unprepared. It’s the old-school approac Shop here at your peril because these folks will try to take advantage of you/rip you off if you go there unprepared. It’s the old-school approach of wasting as much of your time as possible to keep you from looking at other locations while trying to rip you off with fake/made up costs which are really just profit points for them (Read about the “filling fees” and VIN watching below!). Every question involving prices or money has to go back to somebody else and it's clear they’re just trying to burn your time and keep you from comparison shopping. Be prepared to hear "I'll be right back" and "let me go talk to my manager" a lot. They absolutely will not provide "an out the door price" when you call them, and when/if you come to the dealership, expect that the out the door pricing will include marked up/made up things like “VIN etching” for several hundred dollars sold to you as a theft deterrent that has “already been installed”. VIN Etching is just putting aluminum tags with the VIN into 3-4 locations on the vehicle… Installation consists of putting some adhesive on the aluminum and it is absolutely not a theft deterrent. It’s simply a profit point for the dealership. They will tell you that the $358 administrative fee is “State Law” or "mandated cost". What they aren't telling you is that state law ACTUALLY says the maximum that they can charge you for administrative fees is $358, not that they have to charge you. (“In Illinois, the maximum dealer documentation (administrative) fee for vehicle purchases is capped at $358.03 for 2025, and it is adjusted annually based on inflation”) This is just another profit point for the dealership, but they will try to convince you that it’s something that they have to charge you. You will get charged for taxes, title fees, and plates (those are legit) but you absolutely do not have to pay a $358 filing fee. That’s just them making money. They are going to try and charge you a ton for the detailing that they did to make the car look nice and maximize their return. If you are looking at a certified vehicle, they will try and charge you for the the certification telling you that they have to pay for it. Per Hyundai America, unless you are buying a shop vehicle (one that they have used as a demo, or a managers car that has been turned in for resale, the cost of the certification was already baked into the vehicle’s purchase and you’re just increasing their profits. I could go on, but you should get the point by now. These are skeezy sales tactics and it’s best to look for dealerships that shoot straight with you. More

Brought a new Hyundai Elantra 2023 model and we had a very good experience with the dealer. very good experience with the dealer. More

IF YOU DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, I'LL SAVE YOU TIME. DO NOT BUY HERE. Voy a empezar diciendo que fui recomendado por alguien que acababa de comprar una carro ahi. La experiencia iba bien, accedi a compr DO NOT BUY HERE. Voy a empezar diciendo que fui recomendado por alguien que acababa de comprar una carro ahi. La experiencia iba bien, accedi a comprar un carro usado porque se acercaba mucho a lo que queria pagar. esa noche despues de horas ellos me dicen que no hay garantias y que tampoco podia comprar garantias extendidas o GAP insurance. En ese momento me quise retirar del negocio y la de finanzas llamo a Juan el vendedor y entre los dos me convencieron de que el carro venia en perfectas condiciones que el dealership se encargaba de entregarlo en buenas condiciones. Llevo dos meses con el carro y ha pasado mas dias en servicio que conmigo, ahora requiere de un arreglo de mas de $2000 por una pieza que no se rompe de la noche a la mañana. Que casualidad que despues de los 14 dias de garantia todo le empezo a fallar. Ahora ventas se lava las manos, Henry el manager para la venta estuvo siempre super pendiente, ahora ni me responde, ayer mientras estaba en servicio me paso por el lado y me ignoro. Que pena que se aprovechen de la gente por una comision. es la peor decision haber ido donde ellos. El el mismo departamento de servicio me dijeron que esto hubiera podido ser detectado. Es decir que estan vendiendo carros viejos y dañados. NO COMPREN EN UN DEALER COMO ESTE SON MUY DESHONESTOS. More

I had the “pleasure” of leasing a vehicle from Elgin Hyundai, and everything went well at first while I was working with the sales manager — he was professional and handled everything correctly. But wh Hyundai, and everything went well at first while I was working with the sales manager — he was professional and handled everything correctly. But when it came time to finalize documents with the general manager, things took a turn. He made a major mistake in the paperwork by listing the color of the car as black instead of white. Because of this, I’ve been pulled over by police several times since my license plate is registered to a black vehicle — while my car is clearly white. I went back to Elgin Hyundai to resolve the issue and submitted a written complaint, but the general manager, Ismail Meah , refused to accept it, offered no help whatsoever. He walked away while I was still trying to talk to him — completely ignoring me. Ismail Meah (General manager ) clearly needs training in basic customer communication. You don’t get to be rude to customers — especially when the issue is your dealership’s fault. This kind of treatment is unacceptable, and I strongly hope Hyundai corporate reviews how their managers handle customer concerns. More

BUYER BEWARE! Do not purchase your car at this dealership. There are lots of other places to buy. These people will rip you off. I purchased a Certified Pre Owned Do not purchase your car at this dealership. There are lots of other places to buy. These people will rip you off. I purchased a Certified Pre Owned car from Elgin Hyundai. Within 2 weeks I noticed issues with my tires. I had to get them replaced and the mechanic told me that some parts of my tires measured at 2 instead of 5 like they claimed, which is considered unsafe to drive. When I reached out to the dealership, manager Mike Meah completed blew me off and tried to tell me there was nothing wrong with the tires and I must have caused them to become so worn in such a short amount of time. Save yourself the time and anguish dealing with these people and their inflated prices. They also tried to tack on a charge for the CPO certification above the listed online price, so watch out for that too. More

I was communicating with an online representative consistently to which she booked me a test drive and even up until an hour before my appointment was still communicating with me saying that she had consistently to which she booked me a test drive and even up until an hour before my appointment was still communicating with me saying that she had everything ready to . When I got to the dealership, the car was "no longer there." They mentioned that the people I communicate with online don't always know what is on the lot, but did not really have any other explanation. How can I be communicating with someone all day, and then get to the dealership and no one has awareness of me or the car? I left, and then they tried frantically calling me when I was sitting in my car offerings me something much different and out of my price range. They claimed it was not a "bait" situation, but it really felt like one. Of course, I have heard nothing from them since, even when I reached out to express my concern. More

TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! ! BUYER BEWARE!! The absolute worst dealership to deal with when you want something done. General manager Mike is by far the worst person to deal with ! BUYER BEWARE!! The absolute worst dealership to deal with when you want something done. General manager Mike is by far the worst person to deal with. Cannot take responsibility for his employees lack of doing their job, for a task that should’ve taken 30 mins tops!! Then has the audacity to have an attitude when “his employees or system” is bad mouthed. Nothing but sleazy. If you do buy from here, be prepared to call and call.. leave voicemails, to have those calls never returned by his staff. Pay attention to your paperwork, go through with a fine tooth comb. Giving a one star here is generous, zero would be acceptable. More
