AMAZING SERVICE!!
I bought my Hyundai Used with 32,000 miles on it and It now has 72,000 miles. Some electrical part went out and made it feel like my transmission was going out. Anyways, long story short the dealership got Hyundai to cover all the cost even though it should not have been covered under Hyundai Warranty, for one because I am not the original owner and two it was over 50,000 miles. I also needed the computer updated which is normally $199 but they only charged me $125. They also fixed something in my steering wheel. I was having a lot of play in the steering wheel due to some bearing that went out and they just fixed it at no extra cost to me. I also got a $5 Starbucks card from them!!

Overall the experience was very satisfactory. I would say it was a pretty easy process compared to others and this is my 9th car. The staff was very friendly and very professional and not pressure oriented at all which was very nice. I would work with them again and give them the opportunity to earn my business. I do however have some very important complaints below which are the reasons that I gave my overall experience an 8 instead of a 10. I hope my feedback helps you adjust a few things so these surveys can be a 10. My experience was a 10 until the last 30 minutes of the customer experience. I can honestly say that even today, I am a bit bothered by what occurred. My issues were primarily with the accessory cost items added to the car that no one told me about in email or after being at the dealership for over 2 hours. These items were also not on the car window or with the sticker and actually had to be printed before I left. In addition, some of these choices made negatively impacted me after I leased the car and brought it home. My story is below on my total experience. On my initial email interaction with Rick, pricing was noted on the car with the words and "added dealer accessories" but did not list or have anything added. My assumption was this car is loaded and there is nothing that could possibly be added since the car has a premium package. I thought maybe floor mats or something and whatever the cost would be would be on the car. People are very personal about adding items after, so I figured there can’t be much. So based on this initial information, I decided to make the long drive down to Temecula versus going to Norm Reeves Cerritos which is much closer to me and who also had this car. After arriving the service was great and I was greeted very friendly and promptly and referred to Rick who then handed me off to one of the new sales associates David Alarcon. It was a busy time of day. David was very nice and customer centric and new to these models and I believe dealership. We test drove both the V8 model and V6 models that were originally noted in the emails from Rick. I decided on the V6. Again I was still under the understanding that I was going to lease or buy the car with nothing added at this point. After my car was appraised, a bit low in my opinion initially, we then arrived at a price below invoice on the new car which was exactly what I was looking for since the 2018 models were due out in July. I decided to capitalize my old car value and go with a lease. At this point again I am very happy and at a 10/10 rating in my mind for this whole experience. Then we come to the next step where David presented me with the first pricing summary and monthly lease rate review. It was at this point that things got a bit bumpy. Within this price summary there was a line item of almost 2000 dollars that no one had ever communicated to me. It wasn’t in email, on the car itself with the MSRP sticker and summary, or anywhere. It was at this point that my feelings went from a 10 to about a 6. It’s that feeling you get when you think someone has deceived you purposely. You kind of go from relaxed and happy to a flight or fight feeling, from trust to distrust. SO I took a deep breath and clearly told David I need to know what this is possibly for and that I don’t like it at all. It really felt that this was hidden intentionally. I went from thinking I was getting a great deal to these guys just pulled a slick move and are trying to screw me now that we are 2 hours into this process. This was a complete negative surprise to me and really rubbed me the wrong way. My goal was to get the lowest lease rate possible based on the lowest price of the car. To me, this felt like a tactic to put more money back into the cost of the car to offset the great deal discount on the car. In addition, I had personal choices that I wanted for the car after leasing it. I will be honest that if I had known about these items even in email, I would have most likely not leased the car from you folks and would have looked to get the same car at the same discount price without the dealer add-ons. So next I told David I was looking get the car at a certain price point per month. David was able to get within the ballpark. I have not looked at all the math in the contract to figure out how he did that but I did notice 1000 more back into the trade in and some increased mileage. I had initially told him my mileage requirements but the first draft quote was for the lowest amount per year. I am not sure frankly today if I got a great deal, a good deal, or an average deal. Next time I will request the line item information I need before setting foot in any dealer. I did that last time with Cadillac and it worked out very well. I broke the rule in this case based on my initial feelings on email and on the phone. Back to the add-ons. I would not have chosen these add-ons. I would not have chosen blue link, nor the vehicle theft system, nor the tint level. I had other solutions/preferences in mind that were personal to me. The tinting caused me the largest unexpected problem. I had planned on having the whole car done 1 level up from limo except the front windshield which would be lighter. I did this in my last Cadillac and loved it. I assumed this is what your tint level was at. Thus, after calling you folks and getting the brand and being told it was one up from limo, I searched all over the city to find the tint brand/model type you put on it. When the guy got here to tint the car, he told me that the level you put on the car was two up from limo not one. So I had to decide to remove it all and start over and pay a lot more or try and live with it not quite the way I wanted. So I decided to live with it as I did not want to spend the hundreds more to fix it correctly to what I wanted. I will say that I am not happy with having to do this as the car is not as dark, cool inside, or quite the look that I wanted. So my customer experience has been impacted by these items. The last item is minor but wanted to communicate it. There as a 400 dollar dealer turn in cost on my contract which I thought was crazy at first. The way its worded made it sound like you pay 400 when you turn the car in even if you are under miles and the car is in perfect condition. I called your folks in finance and they told me that it’s actually a penalty if you turn the car in early or a competitor buys out the car earl. So that was a relief but probably should be better communicated to the customer. That’s it in a nutshell. I hope the feedback helps. I usually don’t fill out these surveys but I had some thoughts and feelings I thought were important to your process and the customer experience. Sincerely, Steve Edwards

Honest Review- Most Things Great But Some Issues...

I forgot the name of the person in finance dept but he was also very good and helpful. We are very pleased with the way the deal was handled and with the car.

1st class service all the way. A phone call lasted 3 minutes, located the Vehicle I wanted & had delivered to Temecula within 20 hours ??

Leo helped me make the right choice in my new Elantra. I basically new what type of car I wanted and what features and he helped me find a great car at a price I was comfortable with.

I'll be back again! Jose and Tyler exceeded my expectations! Friendly and professional. My Santa Fe is amazing, comfortable, beautiful and safe! Thanks again for an awesome experience!

Everyone was nice there. David took good care of us. I love the car. It drives really nice. I feel safe and comfortable in it!

I was very happy with your dealership and will continue to purchase my cars from you. They had what I was looking for and we were able to work the numbers according to what I was comfortable with. I bought my 2014 elantra from you and I returned for the 2017 elantra because I loved my car and the experience there last time. Something that must be noted was that I have experience with numbers and negotiations so my experience may be different from other buyers (they might find it overwhelming).

My experience at Temecula Hyundai was outstanding! From the sales experience to the purchasing experience, I was happy with the help I received. Although the lobby was full of potential customers, I was always attended to in a timely manner. I will return in the future when thinking of buying another vehicle.

Nice dealership, but there were several issues with our bill. Charges that weren't features on the car, problems with tax rates, etc. All questions were answered and rectified, but buyer beware. Overall, nice salesman, great car.

Michael and Brian wereprofesional, both did really good job on answering all my questions and helping me to get the best deal for my car purchase.

Leo's follow up after purchase was excellent as well. Made sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. Always answered my texts back. Also Alex the manger was amazing.

Temecula Hyundai provided excellent service without the added pressure of most dealerships. They offered all the dealer incentives and discounts that Hyundai was promoting and did what they could to come to a common ground that both the buyer and dealer can agree with.

We have purchased two vehicles from this dealership and we are 100% satisfied with the vehicles and the service that we received. The sales staff is excellent, kind, polite knowlegable, and helpful. Awesome! The parts and service departments are also excellent and Awesome! If we could give 10 stars we would. Special thanks to Winchel Jeffers for all of his help, kindness, and attention to detail. Highly Recommend!

Winchel Jeffers was our sales person and he gave us the "red carpet" treatment. We came in from an internet ad, and first we purchased a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Limited for our daughter. Winchel was very pleasant and took the time to explain everything to us, before, during and after our test drive. After purchasing the Sonata, we expressed interest in a 2014 Equus Signature, and Winchel came with us for test drive the Equus. He again was very pleasant and knowlegable, and we also purchased the Equus. The Sonata and Equus were purchased in the same week, and Winchel made both purchases a very pleasant experience. We ordered some wheel locks for both the Sonata and the Equus, and all of the staff in the parts and service department were excellent. Everyone at this dealership was pleasant and helpful. We are 100% Satisfied with everyone and everything. We have already recommended Winchel and this dealership to several friends, and we will continue to do so.

This was my second experience with Temecula Hyundai and both have been smooth and satisfying. All staff has been friendly and helpful to us both times. Jose Vega is easy to talk to and he understands what the client's needs are. I will recommend anybody looking for a great deal to Temecula Hyundai.

Very friendly sale man and good personality thank you very very much like I said there's nothing else to say I don't know what you wanted to say everything's been good I say that's an in-service what are you want me to say

There are more details about the car that could have been explained more thoroughly and certainly there was no fuel in the vehicle when we went on a test drive that we thought was very unprofessional.

Thanks to Michael I found the vehicle I was searching for. He went above and beyond! He made sure to explain how the vehicle works. Great customer service.
