Started out great In mid October I purchased a brand new Hyundai Elantra from Priority Hyundai (now owned by Lithia). Donald, my Sales Consultant was awesome ! Very relaxed and knowledgeable. I obtained new Hyundai Elantra from Priority Hyundai (now owned by Lithia). Donald, my Sales Consultant was awesome ! Very relaxed and knowledgeable. I obtained the exact car that I wanted, received a fair price for my trade, a great rate on my loan, and had a pleasant experience with Tristan while closing the deal. Fast forward to 4 weeks later... After 4 plus weeks, my trade in vehicle has yet to be paid off. Yes, 4 plus weeks! This, after my new loan for my new vehicle was funded and closed 2 1/2 weeks after the purchase. From what I have been told, the new dealership owner Lithia handles the payoff of existing loans at a central corporate location. This untimely payoff of my existing loan has left me with the choice of making 2 car payments or running the risk of having my credit damaged while waiting for Lithia to complete the transaction. This is inexcusable. I have purchased dozens of vehicles during my lifetime and have never experienced a 4 plus week wait for an existing loan to be paid off. There is absolutely no acceptable explanation for this misstep, new corporate ownership transition or not ! Sadly, despite a wonderful front end experience, and my love for the new vehicle, I will likely never purchase another vehicle from a Lithia affiliated dealership. More
The service department is an absolute joke. No one cares to help with scheduling anything and even told me to just go to another dealership and pay out of pocket and every person I have spoken No one cares to help with scheduling anything and even told me to just go to another dealership and pay out of pocket and every person I have spoken to is just super rude. I understand places get busy but if your reviews constantly reflect poor service maybe you guys should do something about that. More
It's a shock that this Hyundai location has 4. 2 stars. I truly believe they must be paying for or writing their own 5 star reviews. This place has an absolutely horrific service department and hor 2 stars. I truly believe they must be paying for or writing their own 5 star reviews. This place has an absolutely horrific service department and horrible customer service skills, but clearly they do not care. With all of the 1 star reviews, you would think they would fix things but they'll just leave an arbitrary reply and never get back to you. They won't fix things until people stop showing up and stop paying. So if you need service on your Hyundai, PLEASE go literally anywhere else. My sister brought her Hyundai here a few months ago after her engine started showing issues. When we did our own research, we learned her car was eligible for an engine replacement from a Hyundai settlement that had taken place. The dealership told her that it would take a month for her car to be looked at and then after she had to fight to communicate with them that entire month, she finally was told her car was not eligible for engine replacement. After a couple more weeks, she reached someone higher at the dealership and was told it WAS eligible and that the service department screwed up. After a month and a half of having to borrow my car to get around town, she was finally given a new engine which started showing signs of issues almost immediately after replacement. Now, two weeks ago, she brought her car back to the dealership because of the continued issues and was told it would take 2 weeks to even be looked at and that the issue was "probably not engine related" -- not sure how they could tell that without even looking at the car. She has been given the run around AGAIN for the last two weeks and has decided today to just tow her car somewhere else to have it repaired. More
DONT EVER BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY My name is Teresa. Don't ever buy the extended warranty. They won't honor it. I wasted my money on this warranty. I been having problems with my oil evaporating out of Don't ever buy the extended warranty. They won't honor it. I wasted my money on this warranty. I been having problems with my oil evaporating out of my hyundai tucson 2017. This problem started almost a year ago. I've been getting the running around at the hyundai dealership chesapeake. They keep running the same oil consumption test instead of replacing my engine which is covered under my expensive extended warranty. Tell me why I am buying oil to put in my truck before my next 3 month oil change. I owned a hyundai before for 14 years and never had this problem. I should not be buying oil 1 month in a half after i got an oil change to put in my truck. I am being told by my advisor Ken that is a common problem. WHEN? Ive own many cars in my life and never had this problem. Instead of them replacing my engine months ago, they keep having me come back every 1000 miles to see if they have to put more than 2 bottles of oil in my truck. Let's fast forward to today. My catalytic converter is bad. The dealership service department made a guess on this diagnosis. I was advised by my advisor to take it to big Als because they charge less than the $3003.00 the dealership said it will cost me. I took it to big Al for a 2nd opinion and big Al's took apart my catalytic converter to see what the problem is and found small metal particles clogging the converter, which they made the determination it is coming from the engine. I was told by big Al's that I needed to take it back to the dealership to let them know being that my engine is covered under warranty. I called 3 times and asked for my advisor Ken, and a manager and I was told they all wasnt not available. I found a ride to go up there to be told I still couldn't speak to a manager and since my check engine light is not on, they can't help me. I was told to keep driving my truck until it break down on my and i will have to get it towed to the dealership. Woow. This whole process is insane. I am covered under warranty. So my truck engine is making a funny noise. My catalytic converter is bad possibly due to my engine. I was told by the service agent that I still need to get the catalytic converter fixed first. I told them if i do that, i would be wasting money being that the enegine is blowing out metal into the converter. So make it make sense. It suppose to be a recall on my engine. I am not understanding this. I been taking my truck to this dealership for service since I bought this truck from them in 2017. This is the treatment I get. I kept up with all my service appointments. I spent alot money on maintenance at this service department and when it time for them to do the right thing and replace my engine that is covered under warranty they are rejecting. WOOOOOOW! Who does that. Then they stop sending me a request for a review ever since I did a not so good review in the past. Now, mind you, this is my only transportation. My truck is paid off and the engine is bad. It's covered under warranty and the dealership is refusing to help me and replace my engine. You can't talk to a manager. Poor customer service to a customer who being going here since 2017 and it's now 2024. Very under customer. More
Had a 0750 appointment on 8 may to fix a abs problem on my 2018 Santa fa with 25k miles. Arrived early and service department they are booked, wait or leave the car. They promised repairs to be done by 17: my 2018 Santa fa with 25k miles. Arrived early and service department they are booked, wait or leave the car. They promised repairs to be done by 17:30 8 May. Told them I had a Dr. Appointment Wednesday am. Need the car repair done before Wednesday at closing. Wednesday p.m. they said car has not been brought in the shop yet. No word from the service department all day Thursday until 3 p.m. They were working on it. At 5:15 Thursday they called and said car was ready if I could get there by 6p.m. Couldn't arrange another ride that late, so the car sat until Friday am. Talked to the service manager and told him a appointment should be honored on time or rescheduled. There response was that's just how it is. Terrible attitude towards the customer. Priority Hyundai needs to get their appointment problems corrected and honor their appointment times. If you make a appointment with a doctor and you don't keep it, you get billed and lose your appointment. Don't go here for service, find a mechanic who will help you in a timely manner. More

This is a rating on Priority Hyundai's Service Dept. This review has Brenda Clemons listed under service but she assisted us with the app setup and other available program. I rated her service under Sal This review has Brenda Clemons listed under service but she assisted us with the app setup and other available program. I rated her service under Sales and not here under Service. I've been trying to get a cosmetic warranty issue with window trim repaired for over a year but it still has not been addressed. Either wrong part is ordered, part returned not knowing it was received or personnel not available to do the job! More
This review is for Priority Hyundai where I recently purchased a 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy trim vehicle new. I was impressed with the vehicle, the features in tech and comfort and generally the ride of purchased a 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy trim vehicle new. I was impressed with the vehicle, the features in tech and comfort and generally the ride of my new Santa Fe Calligraphy. Lots of high end touches and the interior feels fairly luxurious. I would say the Santa Fe is very comfortable and is in line with a lot of the professional reviews you find on the internet. I am generally pleased with my purchase and for the most part the experience. I am disappointed in a few things; 1) No spare tire. Hyundai trying to convince consumers this is the way of the future. I don't believe consumers are buying this. Worse yet, they don't offer a spare tire kit unless you want to pay $1500 because they won't sell you just a spare tire (donut) and jack, they say you have to have the mounting bracket and have the tire installed under the vehicle. This is absurd. Fortunately, you can purchase for about $500 (expensive, but less than Hyundai) a spare tire kit that you can have in the back of your vehicle. 2) The delivery of my vehicle was a miss. There was lack of detailing the vehicle as part of the delivery. I've had to go back 3 times pointing out things missed...not a great showing. 3) There was a couple of scratches on the front vent screens faceplate which Priority Hyundai have agreed to replace the face plate, but it's been a few weeks now. 4) There are two faint scratches on the driver door panel which I didn't notice originally, and I paid for the interior and exterior protection, so either they made the scratches when applying the product or they missed the scratches. I am having to go back to them on this as well. More
