I took advantage of a discount coupon for a necessary oil change. Greg suggested I add a tire rotation, and I realized that it was time for that, too. The waiting area is comfortable, and a token is provid change. Greg suggested I add a tire rotation, and I realized that it was time for that, too. The waiting area is comfortable, and a token is provided for a hot drink. My service took somewhat longer than I expected, but in fairness I asked that had something that had malfunctioned (but wasn't at that time) to be checked. I appreciated my car being vacuumed and washed. I have used Global for all my service since leasing the car. More
This most recent automobile transaction was my 5th purchase over the course of my life. The previous 4 experiences ranged from mediocre to just OK. In between the actual purchases, I probably visited purchase over the course of my life. The previous 4 experiences ranged from mediocre to just OK. In between the actual purchases, I probably visited 3-4 dealerships for each time period that I was searching for a new vehicle. Every single one of those experiences always reminded me of how much I despised car shopping and working with "salesmen." This is no exaggeration. My experience at Global Auto Mall was completely different. I expected the same treatment that I was dealt in years past, but that is not what I received. To my surprise and delight, no one spoke to me as though I was just another "no car knowledge female." My Global representative, Mr. Kelvin Pitt, showed more respect to me as a customer and consumer. He didn't make assumptions about what I did and did not know; he simply asked me what I wanted and what features & details were most important to me (i.e. price, style & model, size, payment plan, etc.). I appreciated this kind of reception as a value-conscious consumer who cares how her money is spent. He didn't rush me; he answered all my questions; and most importantly, he paid attention to what I said was most important to me. Within an hour or less, I had decided that I was going to do business with Kelvin at this dealership. I felt confident and comfortable enough that I could trust the way he conducted business. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I am telling friends, family and coworkers to go to Global Auto if they are ready to buy a car, or just shopping around. I would definitely buy another car from Global; and I hope Kelvin will still be there!!! Terri Brazil More
I visited Global on Saturday, April 16,2011, to get some information regarding ending a lease and beginning another. My salesperson, Mr. Justin Paraboschi, was excellent. He explained everything that I aske information regarding ending a lease and beginning another. My salesperson, Mr. Justin Paraboschi, was excellent. He explained everything that I asked and beyond. He also worked very hard to satisfy all the conditions that I requested. As the time passed I realized that I would be able to leave that day with a new vehicle, and be completely happy with the deal that I had. I leased a Sante Fe, and so far am very happy with it as well. We are still working on getting the bluetooth hooked up but the dealership has called to make arrangements. A very minor detail and all else is great. I will be recommending Global as a place to go to friends and family. But moreso, I will be recommending Mr. Paraboschi as the salesperson to talk to. More
Since I moved around a lot, I’ve had the unfortunate pleasure of buying cars in many different states. I must say though, Global Auto Mall is up there for one of the best. You really notice the small di pleasure of buying cars in many different states. I must say though, Global Auto Mall is up there for one of the best. You really notice the small differences once you’ve been to a bunch of different dealerships. I usually buy pre-owned vehicles since I put a lot of mileage and wear and tear on my cars. Unlike other dealerships I have been to, I wasn’t treated like a ‘second-class’ car buyer just because I was looking for a pre-owned. Global took the time to help me find the car that was the perfect fit for me. Instead of letting me wander around their pre-owned lot by myself, a salesman personally showed me the vehicles in my price range. Even though I test drove at least four different vehicles, I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. And speaking of my price range, I was amazed on the car I was able to buy. I mean the car was practically new. And it looked amazing and drove even better. I was very pleased. It is good to know that you can be a second owner, even though it looks like you’re the first person to ever own the car. I hope I remain in this area for a little while longer because I will definitely go back to Global. They are everything you could possibly want from a car dealership. And with the experiences I had at other places, that is saying a lot. More
The work they messed up at Global was done correctly the first time by Maxon Hyundai......been buying new cars since 1966....THE SERVICE DEPT. IS NON EXISTANT...The employees really don't care, just countin first time by Maxon Hyundai......been buying new cars since 1966....THE SERVICE DEPT. IS NON EXISTANT...The employees really don't care, just counting the hours...I would never consider this pklace for anyone .this place was terrible. More
I have a new kia and had my first service @ Global. My bluetooth option was inoperable after the 2nd week of owning the car. They said I needed a radio replacement and ordered it. I asked if they had also bluetooth option was inoperable after the 2nd week of owning the car. They said I needed a radio replacement and ordered it. I asked if they had also done the recall work that I had been notified was outstanding and they had not but noted it for the return visit. It took me 6 phone calls to ensure that the radio part was still there and that the repairperson who could handle this matter would be there on a Saturday (I was told only one person did this work). I returned, driving an hour to get there at the appointed time. I was told it would take 1.5 hours to do the work plus the time to do the recall work, which would be slight but mandated once they knew a recall was in existence. I left a phone number asking for a call as soon as they were done as I had a 3 hour drive ahead and wanted to leave asap. No one called me so I rang and received a call back. I was told that the blue tooth could not be fixed because my blackberry was incompatible. I didn't believe that for a minute but drove to get my car. Upon arrival, I asked if the recall work (that I had been told they "MUST" do once notified) had been done. It had not. When I asked for my car, it took 10 minutes to bring it from a far lot. I then asked if my car had been worked on at all and it had not. I immediately called the dealer that sold me the car and inquired if blackberry was compatible and it is. THEREFORE, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THIS DEALERSHIP LIED TO ME IN ORDER NOT TO HAVE TO WORK ON MY CAR, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE WARRANTY WORK PROBABLY PAYS THEM LESS THEN OTHER WORK AND THEY JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE DOING IT. I left a msg with the sales manager to this effect and he called me the next day and confirmed that no one ever touched my car and that I had been lied to. I would recommend steering clear of this service center. More
Today I returned a leased Kia Sportage, requiring a 9am appointment, for which I was early. Huey Hines was very late, never apologised, took his good natured time processing my return of vehicle. Global appointment, for which I was early. Huey Hines was very late, never apologised, took his good natured time processing my return of vehicle. Global Auto Mall staff is nothing if not apathetic, not understanding who pays their salaries. I had issues with the alarm on the Kia going off sporadically which took the Service Dept. many visits to solve; refused me a loaner car for my trouble, as it required an overnight stay. When we originally leased the Kia Sportage, they let us drive away with the gas gauge on Empty. They have about 70 people standing around performing the work of 7, and in this economy! The car was inspected by the lessor in my driveway and deemed perfect for return on 2/25/11, yet returned on 3-24-11, not inspected before I left, and left by Hines in an unattended/unprotected parking lot, where a meteor could fall on it and I could be held accountable! I could continue but I'm tired of reliving this transaction. More
Very unprofessional dealership. These are the guys who give car dealers bad names. Great in terms of providing fast online quotations, availability of vehicles to test drive, etc. When it comes time to p give car dealers bad names. Great in terms of providing fast online quotations, availability of vehicles to test drive, etc. When it comes time to purchase a vehicle, things change. Tried these guys recently based upon their large availability of vehicles and pricing as well as the information they were able to provide via e-mail. Sat down with them ready to purchase a vehicle with their "firm" quoted price that they guarantee is their price and the fun begins. Now we find that the "firm" quoted price is an error. Imagine that! Then we deal with the "high pressure" stuff. I love this stuff. "Aren't you going to take a vehicle tonight?" "No - on the phone we made plans to sign all the papers tonight and pick up the vehicle in a couple days, once it is prepped and optional equipment is installed that we discussed. Remember - we talked about this on the phone a couple hours ago?" Then you get asked if you are serious about making a purchase. How do you answer that? Do many people waste time researching a vehicle purchase to then sit down at the dealer (deposit in hand), ready to sign the contract (at the agreed upon "firm" price)only to pull out at the last second to waste a dealership's time? I don't think so. After an hour of salesman / sales manager private meetings (of course you can't be a part of this; this has to take place in private), out emerges the the salesperson with what they can really do for you (a much higher price). I only humored the process and wasted the additional hour because I already had invested time here. Would have almost preferred to give them the deal just to be done with the process. I guess they are banking on this. The new price in reality was a decent price, not the best you could find, not the worst. I don't car shop strictly by price. It is a key element, obviously, but so is location of dealership, professionalism of staff, availability of service and things like that. I walked away from this one (salesman running to the manager). Not my way of doing business. Don't like being treated like I am a fool (I'm really not one). Got an online quote the next day at a different dealer. Followed the online quote with a phone call to salesman, a test drive thirty minutes later and a deal about an hour later. Will pick up vehicle in a few days at my convenience. No hassles, fair price - treated like a human. Feel free to try Global if you like games. For me - I think I'll take my business elsewhere. More
Much must have changed since some of these reviews - Kelvin Pitt was wonderful and I would not hesitate to purchase another car from him. Completely honest, friendly and thorough!

The sales representative was not honest at all. He went back and forth with the offer that he provided and gave me the wrong information. He told me that he got my rate approved by bank, trying to get me b back and forth with the offer that he provided and gave me the wrong information.
