Be Aware Of Deceptive Practices of Stivers Hyundai in Columbia, SC. Spoke with the salesman Chris Goans about a used vehicle (2022 Kia EV6 Light) that was in their inventory. Chris confirmed that the car Columbia, SC. Spoke with the salesman Chris Goans about a used vehicle (2022 Kia EV6 Light) that was in their inventory. Chris confirmed that the car was available. We asked if he could send us videos of the full interior and exterior to make sure there were no dents, abrasions, scratches, or accidents. Within ten minutes Chris sent full detailed videos of both. He shared with us that he was the salesman that did the trade-in of the car from the previous owner. Chris stated the car was in excellent condition, it had a clean Carfax, no accidents, and only one small abrasion on the passenger rear door which he pointed out in the video. We informed him we lived in Atlanta and wanted to see if we could make a cash purchase and have the car shipped to us. Chris said no problem we have a sister dealership in Atlanta Stivers Subaru. About twenty minutes later, we receive a message from him apologizing, he said his manager said they don't ship used cars through that service. If we wanted to purchase the car we would have to pick it up at the dealership. We responded, no problem we will rent a car and drive down on Wed. August 2, 2023. We asked him if it would be possible to service, detail, and fully charged the car before we arrived, so we could avoid waste time at the dealership and get back on the road to drive back. Chris responded, sure I will have all of the required services performed, have the car detailed, and have the electric car fully charged. We thanked him and said we would follow-up with him on Mon. July 31, 2023. He asked if we could both send him a copy of our driver's license. We did. Mon. July, 31, 2023, as promised we reached out to him to confirm everything was still a go. Chris said the car was being serviced, detailed, and he would fully charge the car before we arrived. We shared with him the rental car was confirmed for Wed. morning at 10:00am, and we would see him around 2:00pm. We arrived at the dealership around 2:18pm. We went inside and asked at the customer's information desk for the salesman Chris. A few minutes later, Chris walks over to us, greets us, and shakes our hand. We walk with him over to his desk and take a seat. He asked for our driver's license and walks over to the managers' office to make a copy and returns with the key fob for the car. Chris takes us over to the car which is parked inside at the end of the showroom. We take a look at the car and the first thing we noticed was numerous small abrasions on the front bumper and hood of the car covered in touchup paint. We look shocked because nowhere in the video Chris sent us did he mention these small abrasions. He gets inside of the freshly cleaned/detailed car backs it out of the showroom bay, so we could take the car for a test drive. We drive the car on a side street near the dealership and begin to accelerate to 74 mph when the car starts to have a noticeable vibration. Chris said he could feel the vibration in the back where he was sitting. He went on to share that he thought the tires needed to be rebalanced because he felt maybe tire weights could have fallen off. We drive back to the dealership. The test drive was less than 10 minutes. Back at the dealership, Chris tells us that he is going to have the vehicle checked out at the service department (Car Care Service). We go back to his desk and take a seat. Chris returns and tells us the service department will test drive the car and take care of the vibration issue. Long story short. We drove back home with the car it started to vibrate again. We never received any of the paperwork we signed or Carfax report. We only got one key fob because the service guy put one of the key fob in his pocket and took it home. We have left the General Manager several voice messages and text messages with no return call to address numerous deceptive practices that occurred. Clearly, the dealership was aware of the vibration problem. More

Stivers service department continues to provide the lowest standard for customer service satisfaction. Being told no to a warranty claim is one thing but the condescending attitude is unforgivable. As lowest standard for customer service satisfaction. Being told no to a warranty claim is one thing but the condescending attitude is unforgivable. As for the 10 year 100k mileage warranty: only the dealer determines what is covered and when. Forget about trying to talk the Hyundai corp about anything: My wife took her 2021 Hyundai Tuscan Unlimited with 22k miles in because we discovered the weld had broken on the exhaust. They said someone had cut the pipe trying to steal the catalytic converter. See the photos for yourself. The pipe was not cut- it broke. Just another example of why not to trust dealer service at all. Always watch the repair when possible. FYI. I ended up welding the pipe to match all other welds along the exhaust pipe. It was too easy. Photo 1 of 4 Photo 2 of 4 Photo 3 of 4 More

The man I spoke to via text was extremely rude to me after I asked if he could a walk through via video with his phone and show me some ideal cars. He quickly snapped back and said he had no time for ga after I asked if he could a walk through via video with his phone and show me some ideal cars. He quickly snapped back and said he had no time for games and he was very direct. I took that as rudeness and I blocked him after I told him I was done with him. I went with another dealership and was treated with the utmost respect from the young salesman. He did a walk through video of cars that he’d thought I would like and set my mind at ease. This was my first time purchasing a car on my own and I was really nervous. Sean did NOT put me at ease. He only intimated me further. I did not even know what make or model I wanted yet. I never set foot at Stivers The nice salesman at the other dealership suggested a Toyota RAV4 More
