Hyundai of St Augustine

My search for a 2011 Sonata began months ago. I visited or called 2 dealers in the Central Florida area, let them know exactly what I was looking for, and asked that they contact me when my model and color or called 2 dealers in the Central Florida area, let them know exactly what I was looking for, and asked that they contact me when my model and color were either at their dealership or could be located. Never heard from either dealer. So I continued to search on my own throughout an expanded Central Florida area until I found a Turbo model in my color at Hyundai of St. Augustine. This was Frank Messina's lucky day since he is the one who answered the phone when I called. After 2 or 3 calls with Frank (no visits) we had a deal within 45 minutes. I agreed on the asking price for the new vehicle and he valued my trade exactly as I had researched it. I drove up to St. Augustine from Orlando the next morning, traded my vehicle, signed the papers, left a check and drove away. I've never looked back. Our agreement by phone was the deal with no attempts by Frank to change anything that we had agreed upon. He went over the car with me in detail, programmed the bluetooth and my garage opener, and away I went. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase, love driving the car and especially thankful to Frank for acting in such a professional manner. In a few years, it'll be my wife's turn, and who knows -maybe there's an Elantra in her future. More

Mr Ramsubhag was a great person to work with. No High Pressure. Honest, sincere and very knowledgeable about the vehicle. Didn't have to see two or three people to finalize the purchase or try to add oth Pressure. Honest, sincere and very knowledgeable about the vehicle. Didn't have to see two or three people to finalize the purchase or try to add other costs. I have purchased a few vehicles in my life time and this experience was by far the best. The car is also very impressive with the warranty's and the services provided.The car we purchased was for my wife and I am already thinking of trading in my car for a new Hyundai. More

Great car buying process! Spoke with Wade before venturing out to the St. Augustine dealership. We explained we had a bad experience from a previous Hyundai dealership in Jacksonville because they w venturing out to the St. Augustine dealership. We explained we had a bad experience from a previous Hyundai dealership in Jacksonville because they wouldn't talk financing at all until we agreed to buy the car. Wade set us up with Demetrius who was very low pressure and easy to work with. Great price on the car and the trade (and yes they talked finances before we signed off). Joey assisted us as well with going over the navigation features and setting up Bluetooth in the vehicle. All in all a great experience for car buying and will certainly recommend others to go there in the future. We are happy to be driving a gorgeous 2011 Sonata! More

My daughter needed to purchase her first new car. Her college vehicle finally retired itself ; sudden demise. She is a very active person. She is a professional, creative dog groomer establishing a new c college vehicle finally retired itself ; sudden demise. She is a very active person. She is a professional, creative dog groomer establishing a new career, an equestrian rider and a graduate in art. She needed a practical but good looking car. We looked at many Jacksonville dealers at a variety of sports utility cars. A friend suggested looking into Hyundai's.Suggested they were nice cars and affordable. So looked up some reviews, went to a few Hyundai dealerships in Jax.. ,typical car dealership attitude==sell the most expensive vehicle, not listening to her needs and finances. But,we liked the cars we saw. Decided to look at St.Augustine Hyundai. First of all, Email response was the most friendly and immediate. Explained what their inventory was and were eager for us to come visit. It sounded worth it. We were so surprised with the kind, and friendly attitudes of all the employees. First, we could only come at dusk the night before Thanksgiving. She works all the time. Josh, a sales associate, was willing to wait to show her the cars and give her guidance on choices so she could think about it till Fri.. Look over the brochures,etc. and compare them to the other cars she was interested in. Get a feel for their brand of vehicles. We returned on Fri.(Mom and daughter) perfect set up for a salesperson. We were greeted as "new friends"by Josh. Then,introduced to other associates. They talked with us. We explained what we wanted and her finances. They,actually, listened to what we had to say. They said" they could find the perfect fit". My daughter looked at a variety of cars. But, immediately, knew the Elantra Touring car was "IT" the perfect car for her needs. She liked the look and the way it drove. They discussed the financial details with all the options she wanted. They always were on top of her limit on monthly payments and finances. Everything was so easy and casual. She had her beautiful first car!! Which she could afford!! What a joy for her. But most of all, a relief. This was a first pleasant car dealing experience in all my yrs.. of buying vehicles. They all should be like this. Upfront, honest, fair and a car selling approach with integrity. We are completely satisfied with our experience. She is beyond happy with her car. Her friends keep asking all about it.They are even considering a visit themselves. These are 26 to 30 yrs old friends with careers. P.S, I have a 2003 CTS I am going to sell. I was ready for "the" new one. I really felt the CTS was the one and only perfect car for me. I think I may have changed my mind. I am now considering the top of the line, Sonata 2011. Sporty, Classy and a great price. I can have lots of fun spending the extra savings . Great Job!!! Hyundai of St. Augustine. I hope more people get the chance to that you are one of the best. Thank you all. More

Frank was very open and friendly on the phone and during our conversation he was straight forward in the pricing and what vehicles he had in stock. He did not pull any car saleman's gimmick's. I feel tha our conversation he was straight forward in the pricing and what vehicles he had in stock. He did not pull any car saleman's gimmick's. I feel that it was an honest deal. When we arrived he showed the vehicle and made sure we unstood all the controls and how they worked and showed us the features of the car. Made sure we were comfortable, it was a very comfortable car deal, no high pressure. Thanks Stanley Barker More

I bought my new 2011 Hyundai Sonata a few months ago from Hyundai of St. Augustine. The purchase was the easiest and most pleasant car-buying experience I have. Last month I took the car in for an oil change Hyundai of St. Augustine. The purchase was the easiest and most pleasant car-buying experience I have. Last month I took the car in for an oil change and the recall service on the steering wheel. The people there are always very polite and professional. Making an appointment with the service department people on the phone is very quick and pleasant. I was immediately served at the check-in point. They got everything I need lined up and waiting for me before I got there. Mr. Kirk Guillotte explained to me why and what they did to take care of the recall. They also went one step further to compensate their customers for the time and inconvenience that caused by the recall with a few nice surprises. My car is always washed from every visit I made to the service department at Hyundai of St. Augustine. I am glad that I found a car dealer who fully delieve what they believe is valuable to their customers and to the betterness of their dealership business. More

Our Hyundai Veracruz broke down on the way from NC to FL. Roosevelt Ramsubhag drove out to I-95 and picked our family up and took us to the dealership. Having your vehicle break down on the interstate was Roosevelt Ramsubhag drove out to I-95 and picked our family up and took us to the dealership. Having your vehicle break down on the interstate was stressful enough, but Roosevelt made the entire experience stress free. He provided us a vehicle so we could continue on with our vacation and took care of making sure our vehicle was serviced and ready to go for our trip back to NC. The service provided was outstanding. They even washed our car for us. Everyone we dealt with at the dealership was very friendly and helpful. More
