First, I did not purchase this vehicle from Priority and this is my first experience with them. I brought my 2004 XG350 for a timing belt replacement under recommended maintenance. Since the XG is a reall this is my first experience with them. I brought my 2004 XG350 for a timing belt replacement under recommended maintenance. Since the XG is a really nice car and there aren't too many around, I wanted to take it to a dealer for repair. To my surprise, they had a loaner for me. A 2011 Sonata 2.0T. (Good ploy since it made me want to buy one!) I also told them that there was a clunking noise in the rear suspension when going slowly over bumps. They brought me into the shop and the tech, Doug, showed me that the shocks needed replacing and where the noise was coming from. I had them order the parts (which were quite expensive but I had no choice) and they would call me when the parts came in. When I returned, another loaner was given to me an the shocks were put in. Oh, and I also transmission fluid changed. After picking up the car, I still have a clunking noise but much less pronounced. I brought the car back in and go another loaner while Doug checked this out. The only thing he could find that had any play in them was the torsion bar bushings. He replaced those at no charge! So off I went. Well, there was still a clunking noise in the rear, even less than before so back it went again. Another loaner was given to me while it was checked out again. This time, Doug and the service manager went over the rear end and discovered that on the XG, the bushings on the shock mounts are inverted from just about every other model. The shock assemblies had to be removed again, (not a small job) the the bushings were flipped. Tada! No more noise! And no charge! Another dealer could have tried to charge me for the labor, especially for the labor and torsion bar bushings but Priority didn't. I know that techs only get paid on a repair the first time and if a car comes back, they don't get paid while they're working on it for the same problem. Suspension noises can be extremely difficult to diagnose because you can't see the or hear the suspension under real conditions. I commend Doug for his sticking to it and the service department for not charging me anything but the original job. Even though I had to bring my car in serveral times, I'm very happy witht he work done and how I was treated by Priority Hyundai. I will proably buy my next car from them. I also want to mention Amy, the service writer, on how pleasant she was to work with both on the phone and at the shop. At no time did I ever feel like I was a problem customer. All they were concerned with that I was happy and that the job was done to my satisfaction. More
i was pleased to buy a car that had "priorities for life" and when it came to get my first appointment i set it up online (which was great) then i proceeded to the appointed time and was shown the pref life" and when it came to get my first appointment i set it up online (which was great) then i proceeded to the appointed time and was shown the preferred service and they ranged above 130 and i was told i have "priorities for life" and was gonna take off 20 bucks for 5000 mile service so i declined the service (which is about 50 bucks full service at most places) and opted to use my "priorities for life" and with the scheduled appointment took over an hour and 30 mins to change oil. then they ask for yes and 10s... i think imma have some no's and 3's..

The sales person Scottie was excellent. He turned the transaction over to the manager. The manager said that we could get the car for 23,000. When we got to the financial person he had on the invoice a transaction over to the manager. The manager said that we could get the car for 23,000. When we got to the financial person he had on the invoice as the cost of the car to be 26 thousand . I told him that the manager had agreed on 23 thousand. He informs me that that amount would never appear on the invoice. We went round and round about this and finally he tells me and my husband that he has made a $1500 error. At that point I just let it go. He took us then to Melissa the deliver. She asked how we were doing? I told her we were tied because we had been there for a long time. She finished what she had to do took us out to the car and gave us the key and we left. We stopped to get something to eat as we got out of the car my husband noticed that the the license had not been put on. She never told us that we needed to see the salesperson Scottie again. So we had to go back to the dealership and have that done. I wanted a nagivation system put on. It did not come on the car. It was not working properly.I called service and they connected me with Melissa. She told me that it was scheduled for today Thursday, December 1st at 9 a.m. I took the car in and was told by service that the appointment was not scheduled and they could not work me in today. So I had to make another appointment for Monday morning. My husband and I have bought two hyundai's from another hyundai dealer and have never had any problems like this. I selected this dealship because it is close to my home and would be more convenient for getting service. I have seen the TV ads that talked about the excellent service that your dealership provide. My experience has really not been good. More
This was my second dealership that I went to, just to get some competition to get the best price. The first dealer (Hall Hyundai) gave me a good NADA trade in for my car, then I went to Priority Hyundai (b/c some competition to get the best price. The first dealer (Hall Hyundai) gave me a good NADA trade in for my car, then I went to Priority Hyundai (b/c they told me they're competitive with deals and if I brought in paperwork with previous numbers they would make a deal happen). Low and behold I brought in Hall's offer from price of the car, to my trade in, with rebates, interest rates, etc. Then Priority came back with a offer 5 thousand less than what Hall was offering. Their offer was almost 5 thousand less than NADA's lowest value. My car isn't pristine but it sure isn't trash. I felt insulted by their offer and told them to not contact me again. I'll definitely tell my friends to not go their unless they want to get low balled. Sales person was friendly, the female that came out with him didn't even TRY to make a deal happen. She said that they didn't know where Hall came up with my trade in value ( I told them to research NADA as my wanting price with very reasonable, even the dealer could still make money off it when reselling it)and then NOT ONE single attempt to get more money for it to try to talk with the used car manager. I was also wanting to buy withing a few days, so the used sales manager and the female that came out with MR. Mordica caused me to walk away and not buy a car from their but from BETTER dealership.

I am a car nut. I trade waaayyy too often. But I will tell you that every time I make a purchase, I feel like Royalty. The staff is friendly, courteous, & makes me feel like family every time I get out of my car when I arrive. I will not deal with anybody else except Mr. Tom Ivey at the Hyundai dealership in Greenbrier, Chesapeake. He is genuinely caring and makes you feel comfortable and hassle free. Also his staff work like a team. All to please the customer, which is how it should be. I love great customer service and they do it exceptionally!!!!! If you are in the market for a new or used car, I would recommend you to choose Priority over other dealers in the area. You will not be disappointed :-) More
From beginning to end, nothing short of a great car buying experience! Dwayne our sales consultant was very through. He answered all our questions and took care of every detail of getting the car ready buying experience! Dwayne our sales consultant was very through. He answered all our questions and took care of every detail of getting the car ready until we drove our new 2011 Tucson off the lot. Tom the general manager and Phil the finance guy were equally as polite and accommodating to all of our questions and needs. You can’t argue with all the benefits of the Priorities for life when you buy at a Priority dealership. I would recommend these guys to family, a friend or a person I meet on the street. More
I had visited the dealership (15 May 2011) approximately two weeks before I made my purchase. That first visit, I met Chuck Wright about five minutes after looking around on the lot. He asked what I had in two weeks before I made my purchase. That first visit, I met Chuck Wright about five minutes after looking around on the lot. He asked what I had in mind (Elantra) and proceeded to show me around the vehicle. He professionally showed me the vehicle’s features from one end to other in great detail, taking time to field questions that I may have had at the time. Finally we took a test drive doing some city and highway driving. Upon return, I told him a particular color I had in mind but it was not available at that time. Chuck gave me his card and said he would call when the color arrived to the dealership. He also emailed me to answer a technical electrical question that I had during the initial visit. Chuck phoned me about four days later to say the color had arrived, but I was looking for a certain package also. We talked on the phone about three other times before I went back to the dealership on 30 May 2011 to see if they had gotten any new vehicles. I had broadened my color choices to 2 colors and was open to not opt for a certain package. Upon arrival I was greeted by a different salesperson but opted to wait for Chuck to finish taking care of the customer he had at that moment. That salesperson proceeded to take charge and start the negotiating process. After figures being scrutinized about three times by both sides, a price was finally reached, just as Chuck came through the showroom door. I had made sure that Chuck’s name was on the paperwork when the price was agreed upon with the other salesperson. Chuck and I then went through the paperwork process and then went through the new vehicle just as we both had during the initial visit. Chuck is a great salesperson. He does not use high pressure tactics or sell you something you do not want. He values your needs and wants in a new vehicle and does not try to push you into something else to make a quota. Pros: If interested in a new vehicle see Chuck Wright. Car is advertised as getting 40 mpg. I got 49.4 driving to work and back. Cons: The dealership’s website is not adequately maintained to show what vehicles are available, nor what options are on vehicles. Some of the other Hyundai dealers in the area have their vehicles listed completely and on the other hand some dealers do not even have a price or color for their vehicles. Priority Hyundai is about the middle of the road as far as website maintenance and information. Perhaps put the IT person on salary and have them update the site after the dealership closes in the evening? More
My car buying experience at Priority Hyundai was excellent. I made an appointment and the car was ready when I arrived for the test drive. Mr. Hearns was extremely knowledgeable about the sonata a excellent. I made an appointment and the car was ready when I arrived for the test drive. Mr. Hearns was extremely knowledgeable about the sonata and answered all questions. Financing and agreeing on a price was easy. I even traded in my old "clunker". I am excited and pleased with my purchase and would recommend that everyone go to Priority for an excellent car buying experience! More
All of the people I spoke with were very nice, but I never got resolution to my car repair. I had my timing chain/belt? and water pump replaced. A week later I had to have it towed in and was told tha never got resolution to my car repair. I had my timing chain/belt? and water pump replaced. A week later I had to have it towed in and was told that the timing belt tensioner had failed causing the timing belt to slip. Nothing about a tensioner was mentioned when the belt was replaced and in doing my research (afterward) it is usually recommended to replace it when the chain in replaced. They kept my car for months and then repaired it for approx. $1200.00. They kept it for another couple of months and when I went to pick it up, it sounded terrible (klunking- after being told someone had driven it all the way to N.C. to make sure it was ok). Did they drive it to N.C. sounding like that?????? I left it there and was told that part of the engine couldn't hold up to the repair and they volunteered to replace my engine. After another month I picked it up and on the same night my engine light came on. I don't even want to take it back because they must have the most incompetent mechanics ever. In addition to all that I had an Obama, 44th president hanger, hanging from my rear view mirror. It was torn off, a squa sticker and hair was drawn on his face and it was thrown in the floor. I did report it, management apologized and told me there was no way of knowing who did it because it had been there so long. More
