Bank Street Hyundai

Hi folks. I just wanted to relay my experiences with Hi folks. I just wanted to relay my experiences with Bank St and Hyundai Canada to make you aware of some issues that I had and hopefully make you Hi folks. I just wanted to relay my experiences with Bank St and Hyundai Canada to make you aware of some issues that I had and hopefully make you better aware of what might happen to you and give you a heads up on the issues. I came in to compare the Santa Fe to the Kia Sorento after testing 5 other SUV's. I was impressed by the vehicle and the fact that Faysal ASSURRED me that he would beat any offer I got from a competing dealership. I took the bate...hook, line and sinker! A lot of numbers were thrown around but almost entirely they centred on what it would cost me on a bi-weekly basis...not how much the vehicle was being sold for. Hyundai had a promo going for $4464 off... including the delivery and admin fee. The truth is that the delivery and associated tax as well as the finance costs, were charged back to me, (first lie) cutting the effective "discount" down to approx $2240. The admin fee was absorbed. When I questioned this they stated that I did get the whole amt taken of the MSRP but "the delivery costs have to be paid by someone"...turned out to be me not Hyundai, so I PAID FOR MY "FREE" DELIVERY CHARGE. I was also told that I had saved nearly $7000 on the vehicle, which on paper is correct. However due to the fact that I was then charged back the delivery costs, cuts that savings down significantly for something that Hyundai was suppossed to be paying for! I also questioned them on a Kijiji offer that was for a $500 gas card from the Dilawri group effective from July 16 to Sept 16. First I was told it was only for used cars. I had the offer on my IPhone which said ALL sales(second lie). Then I was told that I had to present the offer at time of purchase (I received it 3 days after I made the deal) but well within the allowable time frame. I was then told by Ashur (truthfully this time) that it was not going to be allowed because the money would have to be recouperated somewhere in my deal ...bottom line WE PAY FOR THE FREE GAS offer ourselves!! I was also told by a friend who works in the auto industry, that these rebates still gives the dealer his profit margin as well and that it is about 7-8%. This was denied of course so believe whom you will,but I know who I believe. When the upselling of the extra items started I was charged $1724 for the rust protection but I discovered that a friend had only paid $1099 for the same item. After I told them I was not happy, I ended up getting the $625 difference back. I was also told that I had a road hazzard protection pkg but then found out that I was paying for that as well(not really a lie but a bend in the truth). I did get $200 off the extended warranty through a "friends and family" discount YEE HA!! The bottom line is that I believe if Hyundai says they are paying for the delivery and admin cost they should...not charge it back to the purchaser. They only took out the admin fee of of the "extra" items list not the delivery fee. This would pertain to any Hyundai dealer not just Bank St. The bottom line is that I got approx $825 discount from the dealer and $2240 from Hyundai. If the profit is 7% that still leaves about $2000 in negoiating room and another $800 or so that could be saved. In all honesty, I am more pissed at Hyundai than Bank St. in the way they handled this rebate issue but Bank St. doesn't get away free either. They use a contractor to prep the cars and mine had a bug deflector installed which was warped. It had a nick in the driver door and, stains that had been pointed out to Faysal when we first saw the car, were still there. The wash job was quick, and dirty with lots of water stains. The glue used to hold on the plastic wheel protectors was left on and they looked horrible 2 days later. The defelector was replaced before I left the dealership but I have to contact Faysal to make an appointment for a recleaning. The paint protection portion of the rust pkg should have been smoother in my opinion. I have had cars detaied before and when a paint sealant was used the paint felt extremely smooth...not so in this case. Was it done or not, I can't say. I just wanted to make anyone who reads this aware of the tricks used on me and tell you to go to ther dealers. If they let you walk out...your probably just about there for pricing...then watch the upsells as well and take note. It can be done for $1100 not $1700 so hold off and get your BEST deal. Good luck.

John was very helpful and customer driven, so he gets a 5, especially since he responded well after I raked him over the coals because of documentation problems arising because I was doing a lease instead 5, especially since he responded well after I raked him over the coals because of documentation problems arising because I was doing a lease instead of a purchase. The finance guys were good also but they need to ensure that the client knows exactly what is required from the dealer upfront with no confusion. I learned later that you only do one or two leases a year (Asher did a good job of explaining why), thus the confusion. Also, the confusion was compounded because the lease was with a company, not an individual. Thus I gave a 4 for quality of work and overall experience instead of a 5 because of the documentation problems. As concerns price, I thought I was getting a 0% rate (as advertised extensively in the newspapers) and was surprised that it was 1.9%. So I was quite disappointed. I took the vehicle anyway because it was what I wanted. However, if I hadn't made up my mind before I saw the lease terms, I would have walked away. I don't like when someone with whom I am dealing springs something on me at the last moment like that. To be fair, I don't think either I or the finance guys ever discussed the rate, but I assumed that it would be 0% because of the extensive (false?)advertising, especially since I was told that the rate drops as you get closer to introducing next year's models and that the rate at the start of the year was 1.9%. If Hyundai intends to achieve a premium price for what is considered to be a premium service or product (this is the definition of success in modern marketing), then it should do something about this.

We purchased our new Sanata Fe from Bank Street Hyundai after visiting two other dealerships in Ottawa. We had a specific trim, colour & budget in mind which the other two places where not able to provide after visiting two other dealerships in Ottawa. We had a specific trim, colour & budget in mind which the other two places where not able to provide us with. At Bank Street Hyundai, we dealt with Shahir Moradi & Amir Ismaillian from Sales. Shahir is a very friendly & very knowledgeable individual, he knows his products inside out which came handy when we had to decide between two different trim levels. Shahir provided us with excellent customer service & we never felt pressured...we were even accomodated with an office for our two weeks old daughter to be fed. Amir the sales manager was very welcoming, friendly & profesional, I gave him a challange with my budget & colour option since there are no more shipments of 2012 Santa Fe's & to my surprise he was able to get that specific vehicle & even came just under my budget... Ernesto the finance rep got us approved & set within minutes, the deal was completed ! Thanks to those 3 individuals our experience was a very positive one & we would highly recommend this dealership to friends & family. Thank you Shahir, Amir & Ernesto. Thank you Bank Street Hyundai !

I have dealt with Bank St. Hyundai in the past, but methods have changed since that time for the better. There was one other person I dealt with but don't recall exactly who he was (nice person). The m methods have changed since that time for the better. There was one other person I dealt with but don't recall exactly who he was (nice person). The main reason I bought this car from this dealership on that day was my comfort level with John Nicholson. In fact I was supposed to test drive 2 other cars and that did'nt happen. The most imporant thing for me when buying a car is my interaction with my sales person. More
