Garden Grove Hyundai

We spoke to the manager, Jim, twice before driving an hour and a half to pick up our car. We were told we had a deal, that they weren’t going to mess around with us, and that there wouldn’t be any hidden hour and a half to pick up our car. We were told we had a deal, that they weren’t going to mess around with us, and that there wouldn’t be any hidden fees. We show up, Jim is suddenly “super busy” and hands us off to someone else. We get in the car to take it for a spin, car is on empty. Guy drives us to a gas station, the company gas card doesn’t work. we sit and wait while he’s trying to call someone to find out why the card was declined. End up leaving, we have 15 miles left to drive, so we were fine to test drive. Get back to the dealership, ready to hand over the cash we had available. They say oh, we have some added protections- some GPS, paint protection, etc. raises the price 2500 (10%) off of the “deal” we had. We go back and forth, say we will go up $500 over the promised price, they say no and we walk. They called us, saying sorry, even though the general manager said we had a deal at 20,500 out the door, someone “higher up” changed their mind & they can’t do under 22k cash. We drove a total of 3 hours. Spent an hour and a half haggling, even though we had a verbal promise (which we confirmed TWICE) from the general manager. Terrible experience! More

dirty, no credibility, no respect toward customers. Do not do business with this dealership!!! Totally unprofessional, absolutely no credibility at all. I called twice to confirm the availability of th Do not do business with this dealership!!! Totally unprofessional, absolutely no credibility at all. I called twice to confirm the availability of the car before I came, advising them that I am more than one hour drive away. Both times, they confirmed the car is still available. I drove more than 1 hour arriving to this dealership to have them telling me the car was sold 10 minutes before i arrived. This is a old and dirty tactic that this dealer use against customers. They have no respect for their customers. Again, do not do business with these kind of people! More

My name is Michael Plasse and I want to tell you abot my experience in your dealership on 4/23/2020. I found an ad on Autotrader.com in which a 2018 Hyundai Elantra SEL (VIN: 5NPD84LF0JH358057 MODEL: 47442F experience in your dealership on 4/23/2020. I found an ad on Autotrader.com in which a 2018 Hyundai Elantra SEL (VIN: 5NPD84LF0JH358057 MODEL: 47442F45 ENGINE: G4NHJK048185 PORT OF ENTRY: MA EXTERIOR COLOR: SYMPHONY SILVER INTERIOR/SEAT COLOR: GRAY/GRAY) was advertised (and as of this very moment is still being advertised) for the sales price of $11,000. I called your dealership at 8:33am this morning, 4/23/2020 and spoke with Mohammad. He verified that the vehicle was there and that the sale price was $11,000 as the ad stated. He said he had the keys. I told him I would drive down there from my home which is 2 hours away from the dealership because I wanted to purchase it. I arrived at the dealership at approx 11am and found Mohammad. He showed me the car, asked for my license and let me and my daughter test drive the vehicle. I returned from the test drive and one again asked him the price of the vehicle, which he said was $11,000. He asked me how I was planning on paying for the vehicle. I informed him that I had my own financing in place from Altura Credit Union and I would pay the asking price of $11,000 but wanted that to be the “out the door” price including taxes, license and registration costs. He said he would talk with his sales manager, Mr Brett Anderson. After waiting around for 20 minutes Mr. Anderson approached me and said that they could not reduce the price of the vehicle below the asking price of $11,000 to accommodate my offer. I said ok and went to my truck to leave and go look for a different car elsewhere. A person named Shawn who said he was a sales manager approached me as I was getting in my truck and said he wanted to “save the sale”. I got out and spoke with him. He wanted me to let the dealership finance the vehicle for me and said he could not lower the price below the $11,000 asking price but would be able to get me a better interest rate on the loan effectively saving me the money I wished to save. I refused and went to leave again. He stopped me and said “how about if we split the cost of the DMV fees”. I had a printout of the DMV fees I brought to the dealership with me based on the VIN and asking price of $11,000 which showed the fees totaled $1056.00. I showed this paper to Shawn and I clarified that he was offering to lower the $11,00 sales price by $525. He said “yes”. I said that I would sit in my truck a few minutes and think about his offer and contact him when I made a decision. I thought about it and decided that was fair and went back inside and found Mohammad and told him that I agreed to Shawn’s offer. Mohammad said “so the total price is going to be $11525. I said yes and agreed and informed him that I wanted to make sure that both my daughters name and my name were on the title so we could insure it properly. He said “no problem, I will start the paperwork”. My daughter and I sat there another half hour waiting for the sales contract and instead of receiving the sales contract which we all agreed to Mr. Anderson came out of his office and informed me that the price of the car was now going to be $14,879!!!!! He stated that none of the “optional features” were included in the $11,000 price. I was so angry I didn’t say a word and got up and walked straight out to my truck and left your dealership. I pulled over a few minute later and called your dealership. Shawn answered. I asked to speak with the general manager or owner and stated I wished to make a complaint. Mr. Anderson then got onto the phone and asked what he could do to make things right and I told him to sell me the car for the price we agreed on. He stated that he couldn’t because that is a “base” price that doesn’t include all the optional features. I asked him to remove all of the optional features and honor the listed price on the online ad and our verbal agreement of the price. He said that would mean tearing the whole car apart because the optional features are part of the car. He told me to read the fine print on the ad which said that he can charge extra for any of the optional features above the vehicles “base” price and also stated “the dealership has many lawyers that have reviewed the fine print to make sure” they could raise the price sky high after getting the buyer lured in with a “base” price. He was basically bragging about his ability to bait and switch consumers. I told him that he was perpetrating a “bait and switch” and the dealership was falsely advertising the price of the vehicle and told him I wanted to speak directly to the owner/general manager of the dealership. He said I could not speak with his boss or anyone else higher then him. I asked for his boss’ name, he said Kimo. I said first or last name, he said first. I asked for the last name, he said he didn’t know and I couldn't speak with him anyway. I asked him to spell it, he said “KIMO, I don’t know”. I want you to know this is absolutely a horrible way to treat customers and is a classic “bait and switch” technique. I took screen shots and have printed out the ad both on Autotrader and your website. I have downloaded the vehicles window sticker which shows all the features Mr. Anderson was attempting to add on to the advertised $11,000 price are 100% “INCLUDED” with this vehicle False advertising is illegal. “Bait and switch” is illegal. Your dealership has broken the law and treated both my daughter and I in an appalling fashion. More

Shady dishonest, the whole team including the owner are liars, ditto on the last review, being a good lawyer and then walk out because that's what a lawyer would tell you, if there are any good reviews on liars, ditto on the last review, being a good lawyer and then walk out because that's what a lawyer would tell you, if there are any good reviews on here they are definitely fake, Hyundai you should be ashamed of yourselves to have a dealership like this. I will never buy another Hyundai after being SCAMMED like this . More

Check reviews on internet. AVOID this dealership. Same scam for years. Charges “fees” that were never discussed with us. Purchased a used car and the “fees” were options that were put on the car when it w scam for years. Charges “fees” that were never discussed with us. Purchased a used car and the “fees” were options that were put on the car when it was built new. Very dishonest. More

returning a car I had leases a car here 3 years ago. After the last payment, I visited this dealership to return my car. But I could not returned my car. They said I had leases a car here 3 years ago. After the last payment, I visited this dealership to return my car. But I could not returned my car. They said I should make an appointment with Hyundai Finance inspector myself in advance. It is ridiculous. I had a very very bad experience. They might refuse to receive the return car because I would not buy or lease Hyundai car again even if I leased my car in this dealership. So I visited Huntington Beach dealership and there was no problem to return the car at all. I asked them "Should I make an appointment with an inspector myself ahead?" They said no I need not. I do not recommend this dealership. They are not kind. They are rude. I won't never visit this dealership. More

STAY AWAY DO NOT go here for a car purchase! Ever! Trust me! Should have checked these atrocious reviews first before even going to this dump. Disappointing is DO NOT go here for a car purchase! Ever! Trust me! Should have checked these atrocious reviews first before even going to this dump. Disappointing is an understatement. They let $$ walk out the door! Usually dealers will at least come down with an insulting 2-500 bucks off. This one didn't. Said their online price is the price. This one is like Carmax, and look how well their reputation is climbing. Didn't care to hear what we'd be willing to pay. Stay away from Sales Manager Larry! He was dry, bland, cold and calculated. Almost robot like. One good thing to note was Brenda the sales girl was very nice and friendly, but Felt like Larry wanted us out of there ASAP. Only reason why I stopped by was because Cole, who was just a parts guy I guess, said my appearance would be my leverage on getting a better price. Wrong! Larry saw to that. It's a good thing we had other places to shop. As I'm sure most of you will as well. Please do and skip this place. It's what they want, because they sure as xxxx didn't want any sales that evening. Maybe their quota for the month was met n the salesman's spiffs were more then enough that week as it was pretty dead in that stealership. I doubt you care fellas, no I'm POSITIVE you don't at RW Hyundai but like most of your other reviewers with bad experiences, congratulations you have gained a LIFETIME NON-CUSTOMER!!! More
