Our initial salesclerk was Benny. He was nice and funny. He mostly listened to what I wanted and tried to follow through. He was very good in the beginning, then he couldn't find the car I was asking for. H He mostly listened to what I wanted and tried to follow through. He was very good in the beginning, then he couldn't find the car I was asking for. He brought this up to the floor manager who tried to shove me in EVERY other car on the lot. I came into this looking for a specific car, I was not leaving with anything else. I did my research and knew what I wanted. After being pushed into 3 cars by the floor manager they found the type of car I wanted in the parking lot. However, it did not have all the features that I wanted. I thought about it and decided that I was already pissed off at this dealership for not listening to my wants and needs that I wasn't going to give them anymore time or any of my money. When we told Benny that we didn't want the one on the lot, he told the floor manager. The floor manager then tried to find another car that I would like... while he was looking we walked out. I have never felt so insignificant in my life. As a salesperson or a floor manager I get that you are supposed to be trying to get me to buy a car-but that's not going to happen if your ignoring everything I say. Your job is to make me comfortable and make me want to buy a car from you, not piss me off so I leave with a bad taste in my mouth. I will never recommend this dealer in fact I have been recommending others in the area that would good to me because my friends don't need this kind of interaction either. More
Harold was an awesome salesperson. He was knowledgeable about the product and he actually sold us on this car despite it not being the car we originaly came in for. We fell in love with it. Thank you Har about the product and he actually sold us on this car despite it not being the car we originaly came in for. We fell in love with it. Thank you Harold. More
I was having issues with getting in touch with someone re: questions about my purchase. I would either leave messages that werent answered, get vague resolutions from sometimes rude people, get transferre re: questions about my purchase. I would either leave messages that werent answered, get vague resolutions from sometimes rude people, get transferred to nowhere, or get disconnected. Basically felt like I wasn't getting the time of day. However, after I emailed their customer service to complain I received a call from Jason (a sales manager) who was very helpful this time around. I think when it comes to any interaction with this dealership from the beginning through the end of the deal, you have to be a little pushy (unfortunately, not my usual style) to get what you want. It almost feels like there's so many people there who are so rushed all the time (unlike my last dealership), that the ball will inevitably be dropped on anything if you aren't a slight pain in their ***.

Stay away - I have purchased over 20 new cars in my life. Many different brands, from many dealers. I have seen every game in the book, or so I thought. I have been taken buy some and not by others. I went i Many different brands, from many dealers. I have seen every game in the book, or so I thought. I have been taken buy some and not by others. I went in to Brad Benson to look at a Genesis sedan and immediately noticed that every car on their lot has a "dealer price" that is inflated over the MSRP. They do this to cover their claims of offering 30% off of "dealer price". They're not discounting from the manufacturers suggested retail, but an artificial dealer price. I immediately addressed this with the salesman and he assured me that was just for people who didn't know any better, and he wouldn't try that with me. Certainly not the way I wanted to start, but I continued. They had several models that I was interested in looking at and I handed over the keys to my trade for evaluation. I had never driven the Genesis and went out for a test drive. Once we returned, the games began. They offered me the right price for my trade and then I told them what I would spend (per Hyundai corporate) as I was a member of a Hyundai marketing program. The salesman then told me they couldn't honor the trade amount offered and I told them I understood but wouldn't complete the deal. I asked for my keys back and one manager came over. I had to eplain the situation all over again and he tried to make me another bad offer. I asked for my keys back again and he brought over another manager. This continued for thirty minutes. I was upset and asked again for my keys and no one would bring them back to me. I had to threaten to call the police to get my keys back after another ten minutes. I have never been "held against my will" at a dealer before this. It cost Hyundai a sale because of this dealership. More
My wife and I went to buy a new car in July 2011. We chose the 2012 Sonata. Let me be clear, the car is not the problem. This was the worst car buying experience we ve ever had. They tried to scam every chose the 2012 Sonata. Let me be clear, the car is not the problem. This was the worst car buying experience we ve ever had. They tried to scam every dollar out of us. After 6 hours at the dealership I finally just signed the contract and left. Big mistake. After reading the contract when i got home I noticed that they changed the price of the car. I was furious. I went the next day and they didnt apologize at all. They scammed us for over $900 more than the purchase price and only wanted to give me $200 back. I fought and finally got $650 back. Do yourself a favor, stay away from Brad Benson Hyundai. They will scam you. More
A car buying experience is typically a very long process and one sometimes spends up to 4 hours at a dealer..This was the case at this dealer however all four hours were FANTASTIC..I would have stayed longe and one sometimes spends up to 4 hours at a dealer..This was the case at this dealer however all four hours were FANTASTIC..I would have stayed longer if possible (which is unheard of) only because everyone in there was so fantastic and friendly and made me feel at home!! Every part of the leasing process was seamless and the customer service was top notch..I got a fantastic price for a 2012 Elantra and I am so happy..I live in NYC and will travel to NJ to visit and shop at this dealer as often as needed....and will recommend to everyone I know...

Made an appointment with Anthony, call to change the appointment, no problem. Greeted by Steven Landesman and noticed the just arrived 2012 Elantra Touring GLS Man. He was detail in his explanation of t appointment, no problem. Greeted by Steven Landesman and noticed the just arrived 2012 Elantra Touring GLS Man. He was detail in his explanation of the safety and convenience feature of the vehicle and seems upfront and honest about everything. The negotiation process did not last more than 15 mins before I was offered a good price with delivery. Would recommend this to others. More
My salesman, Jon Seijo went above and beyond the call of duty, enthusiastically showing me 5 different cars in 104 degree weather, to ensure I was well informed and happy. He spent in excess of 5 hours pat duty, enthusiastically showing me 5 different cars in 104 degree weather, to ensure I was well informed and happy. He spent in excess of 5 hours patiently answering my questions and most importantly, making me feel confident I wouldn't leave there with even an ounce of buyers remorse. And I didn't! His charisma and honest disposition allowed me to feel like his goal was to be helpful, whether he made a sale or not. I have never had a car salesman whose kindness didn't seem false and who wasn't pushy until working with Jon. He worked hard for me to get me in a 2012 Eclipse, which wasn't easy to do given my previous loan situation. But he made it work, and I couldn't be happier with my new car! If you go, PLEASE try to speak with Jon Seijo if possible. He doesn't give off that creepy car salesman vibe! xxK More
Johnny was extremely pleasant and helpful. He worked with me to get a great price with tons of features included! I would highly recommend him to anyone! me to get a great price with tons of features included! I would highly recommend him to anyone! More
Brought my 2011 Sonata in because the new front bumper was seperating from the car.The brackets that keep the front bumper connected to the car are sticking out of the car. I was told to bring the car in was seperating from the car.The brackets that keep the front bumper connected to the car are sticking out of the car. I was told to bring the car in and the service manager bareley looked at it and said I was at fault and there would be no way they would fix it. Someone from his staff asked if he wanted a camera and his response was he could not be bothered. He used profanity and I was amazed at the unprofessionalism. In addition, on my way out of the dealer I ran into a mother/daughter who were at the dealership with the identicle complaint. They were also told where they could go to have it fixed at their own expense. More
