After our previous sales associate became a Manager at another Northtown location, we were not sure the experience would be the same. Working as a Customer Service manager, I set the bar pretty high on what I expect. Matt and team did not disappoint!! To say Matt is genuine is an understatement. He clearly loves what he does and was a pleasure to deal with. We will absolutely be back for our 6th Northtown vehicle! On a side note, we have dealt with the service department and collision shop for several years now. Very happy with the experience! More
Straightforward and fair, Very satisfied with the process and any negotiations that needed to happen. I would come back for another one but apparently it's going to be 10 year Very satisfied with the process and any negotiations that needed to happen. I would come back for another one but apparently it's going to be 10 years before I need one… Joe Kia Faletta was on top of my every desire, and really quite fair in explaining the process , Not pressuring me even though you knew I had other offers on the table. Whoever the mystery manager was apparently must've liked my luxe also. I'm kidding but they really were good as was the business guy who presented the options and all the details. More

I would purchase elsewhere Overall I would not recommend Northtown autogroup. While I did end up purchasing a vehicle from Northtown I should have gone somewhere else. Most deal Overall I would not recommend Northtown autogroup. While I did end up purchasing a vehicle from Northtown I should have gone somewhere else. Most dealerships in my search use the no haggle approach, Northtown doesn't. It's annoying to have to drive to the dealership to haggle on a price versus them just listing the lowest price they'll accept online. Of course they want you to come in, that's where it all begins. It was my choice to drive the 2 hours up to Amherst. On the first trip in the morning the car had both sets of floor mats, carpeted and allweather, but when I went back that evening to pick up the car I never realized they had taken the allweather mats out of the vehicle. While I do think this is my fault I missed this, I also think it shows what kind of a place you're dealing with. You spend $15000 on a car, and they can't just give you the extra set of floor mats that were in the car hours earlier. I attempted to contact the dealership, and it's been nearly 4 days without a response. Eager to take you're money, but good luck getting a response once they have it. It could be worth it for you if you happen to find a car you like. No haggle dealerships offer a better experience to me. You either like the price or you don't in which you don't go there. Nearly three months later: Never heard anything back from the dealership or the sales agent Mike Maniscalco. He texted me to get a piece of information about the car, and I sent the information back. The next day I sent him a text to inquire as to what happened to the floor mats and never heard anything back. I would have to say this has gone down as the worst buying experience I've ever been apart of. I'm the person in the family people take to buy cars, so I've been apart of many purchases. From top to bottom bad. I would rate this 2014 Hyundai Sonata as well below average also. The number of times I've had to take it into the dealership, for safety and tech issues is aweful. Now you add in that they have recalled the car to replace the engine. As if the buying experience wasn't bad enough, now I'll lose the car for as long as it takes them to replace the engine. I do not recommend purchasing from Northtown Autogroup ( I didn't service my car there, so I can't speak to that). I can't see purchasing another Hyundai for the time being either. More
Ran my credit anyway after i said no I took a test drive and ad interest in the vehicle but after talking numbers i decided i did not want to pursue any business with kia. I asked them NO I took a test drive and ad interest in the vehicle but after talking numbers i decided i did not want to pursue any business with kia. I asked them NOT to run my credit and i checked my credit score a few days later to receive an alert that my credit was run by Northtown WR at 3900 sheridan drive. I could sue, but i believe they took the paperwork away from me before i could get it back. So im not sure if they have a signature. But verbally i told them to toss it. More

First they let me know that nothing would be covered under the warranty, I was at 79,000 miles. So I sucked it up and said fine I will pay for the smoke test to see where the emissions leak was. The gentleman I was working with was very polite and understood that I am not made of money. He said that they would do the test and call to let me know what was wrong and what it would take to fix it. Originally this was the plan, the smoke test for $125 and then call me, I was very clear that I was not able to pay anymore than that for this day. He also said he was leaving early but there was another man that would be able to handle everything, so far no big deal. A couple hours later I get a call that the evap canister had failed and would need to be replaced and that my total for the day would be $500! I was shocked, I said but "you were only supposed to do the smoke test" to which the new guy replied "well yeah that's all we did, but if you want us to fix it the total will be $500, I mean it has to be fixed" I told him that's not something I can afford right now I will have to park it. He told me to give them 30 minutes to get the car back together, so I went in to get it. The new guys seemed very unsure of himself, he was trying to get the paperwork together and my husband and I were making small talk just to be polite. The whole time the man next to him kept glaring at us and rolling his eyes when we were telling the younger man that we thought the new KIA's were nice. So we finally get our car, go home and call our regular dealer ( who is not a KIA dealer, hence why we needed the sensor testing done at Northtown), and our trusted dealer says "well, that's too bad I will help anyway I can, we can get the part for $175 and I will only charge you for half and hour labor, that's about all it will take" way cheaper than Northtowne. We started off fine at KIA, but as soon as they were not going to make a lot of money off of us we were treated like garbage. Oh and to top it all off they double charged my bank account for the $125 and I don't mean it was pending, they processed TWO PAYMENTS!! When I called and spoke with the service manager at first he said it would take a few days to investigate and then send us a check. I was pissed my account was negative because of them, only when I yelled did he actually try to fix this, he called me back about 15 minutes after our initial call and said "oh well the accounting dept already caught this and they are on the phone with your bank", bull, they didn't catch anything, it was because I called. It took 3 days for them to re-credit my account and I had to fax them bank papers showing that they caused my account to go negative and caused me fees. They mailed me a check for the bank fee, but for several days I got to look at my empty account. I will never ever return to this KIA dealer. If you are not wealthy they will treat you like crap end of story. More

Everyone in the service department was professional, helpful, and friendly. As a senior woman who knows nothing about cars, I really appreciated the technician carefully explaining the problem to me. And my car was ready 20 minutes ahead of schedule! More
