My Review of Universal Hyundai:

I am 65 years young! Purchasing a new auto has not been a favorite task of mine during my lifetime. The quality that I have found most lacking in previous auto purchase experiences has been the personal integrity found with the direct salesperson involved. I think that I may have found that personal integrity is not a lost trait when I met and worked with Universal Hyundai salesman John Booth. He demonstrated throughout the sales process that a salesperson with integrity can exist in the retail auto industry. I was also impressed with Jose Rivera - the dealership Finance and Insurance Manager with whom I met. Although I brought my own financing to the transaction - I asked for and he provided me with comparative leasing rates. In the end I decided to proceed with my own financing. I was - however - armed with the data that I needed to make an informed decision.
Thank you John Booth and Jose Rivera!

Hopefully future experience with this dealer and its service department will be as positive.
Based on my experience so far I would highly recommend Universal .

He did his best to help me out in every way possible. I left the dealership very happy with a used Hyundai Accent in excellent condition, for an excellent price. The financing department worked very hard to get me the best deal possible. Even after already approving me for a loan I was happy with, they continued to work to try to find me something better. I would highly recommend this dealership.

It is a pleasure to have employees like you that do that extra mile to please the client.
We will always do everything possible to merit this company along with its employees.

Greetings!
Universal Hyundai is so lucky to have Christie? I am driving my fourth Santa Fe in the past 10 or 11 years, and I have introduced several friends and family members who are now driving Hyundai's? I and they have had frequent contact with Christie? she is a most valuable asset? how she does her job has no doubt inspired many hundreds of customers to stay with Universal, to purchase a second, third, or fourth vehicle from you . . . . . Please relay my comment to Al . . . . I believe he would like to be reminded as to how a superb employee can affect how the Company is perceived, and thereby generate repeat business.
Many thanks.

I wanted to thank you both for all of your help yesterday.  It made buying the car actually a pleasant experience.  Kevin worked with me over the phone and I feel like I got a fair price for the car.  Adam was VERY helpful and I've never had a more thorough explanation of how a car works.  He programmed our phones into the car, programmed radio stations into XM that I liked, etc.  He answered all our questions and more.  I don't remember the name of the finance manager but he explained things very well and was extremely efficient and FAST.  It was late when we arrived but everyone was still " on their game" even when it was after 10:00 p.m. when we finally drove off in our new car.  Thanks again.  I will be in to see you tomorrow with the rest of the money.

We went looking for a used car.. We were greeted by Ron Thomas. He gave us our options on buying an used care verses a new car. We got a great deal on a new car. Ron even followed us home for the rest of the balance. He explained every detail of the car. We have bought 6 cars in the pass for 4 years at Florida and no one has ever explained how to install the Bluetooth, but of course Ron installed it on our new car and also help us with our Nissan that we bought at Celebrity Nissan. So that is why we rated your service, work and friendliness exceptional. WE WILL DEF BE BACK AND WILL BRING OUR FRIENDS. He also gave us a call the day after to see if we had any questions? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING AN EXCEPTIONAL EMPLOYEE LIKE RON THOMAS.

I have purchased a few cars in the past but this was by far, my best experience. They treat you with respect, they are courteous, and they listen. They have a large selection and are very accommodating. I was also impressed by the extras such as soda fountain in the lobby. I felt as though they were willing to go that extra mile for my husband and I. Each and every employee we dealt with was great and I would recommend any one of them. 

Thank you for your interest in our business. It is great to know our business is appreciated.
1.) The sales process was excellent. Abi (our sales associate) is excellent.
Our daughter had purchased a Sonata from Abi and we were extremely pleased with his knowledge, service, etc. Therefore, we immediately called for an appt with Abi when we realized we were in need of another vehicle and will do so again. You are fortunate to have such an excellent sales associate.
2.) The vehicle more than meets our expectations? love it!!
3.) The purchase was most enjoyable? no improvement needed.
4.) We would buy another pre-owned vehicle from Universal Nissan/Hyundai.
5.) We would definitely recommend Abi and Universal Nissan/Hyundai to our friends and family.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to call or email.

My experience was fantastic! No pressure from salesperson, he was very relaxed and easy-going. I was able to purchase a vehicle with no stress! I had already been to Deland Hyundai and the customer service was horrible and I was lied to by the salesperson as to when their car shipment would be arriving. I decided to try Universal and they were great and had the car in stock! I got a better deal at Universal on the same car I liked at Deland but Universal gave me the upgraded package for $20 less a month and a much less APR! Thanks!

I originally went in just to get some pricing ideas. I was greeted Finian (it took me a few attempts to pronounce it right) After that everything was an absolute pleasure.
He really made the buying experience a whole lot less painful than my previous vehicle. I really felt like I made a friend. He didn't rush me at all. He showed me a bunch of cars that fit in my price range. I was originally looking at the basic Elantra but he took me for a test drive in the limited and I was sold. Before I knew it I was signing paperwork and out the door. Oh and did I mention he set up my favorite radio stations, helped me sync my phone for bluetooth and set-up my navigation so I don't get lost driving home (it happens more than I'd like to admit)!!! AWESOME!!!
Any of my friends in the market for a new car will get Finians name and number, I couldn't be happier with my new car and friend!!!

I went to the dealership to look at the Tucson. During the test drive, Abi realized that even though I wanted a small SUV, I was not comfortable driving it. He then suggested I try the Sonata. Was he right! I loved it the moment I started the test drive. Abi could have let me walk out with a car that I was not comfortable with and didn't love because I had an idea of getting a SUV. Instead he took the time to find me the car that was right for me. Great Job! I even got a great a offer on my trade in. This is the second car that I bought from Universal (my husband's Accent is still going strong!). The funny thing is, I ended up at Universal because the salesperson at City Kia did not show much interest in helping me! Proud new owner of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata!

Would definitely recommend this dealership. Have now personally bought 4 cars from Universal Hyundai. Also referred 2 family members who each purchased a car. Outstanding service, relaxed atmosphere, no pressure to buy, and very knowledgeable salespeople.

Raymond Morales, the Internet Manager was my salesman; Jose Rivera was the Finance Mgr. Both exceeded our expectations. Although the dealership was extremely busy, I was greeted at the door and assigned a salesman right away. Raymond was able to answer all my questions about the vehicle and provide comparison information on several different models.

Have been driving a Hyundai since 2001 and would be hard pressed to find a better vehicle.

My Review of Universal Hyundai:

After researching for several weeks on the internet, we decided that the Genesis Coupe was the car for us. The next step was the part we had always dreaded, working with the dealer, however, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised by Universal Hyundai in Orlando. Within 5 minutes of arriving at the dealer, my wife and I felt like our salesman (Abi) was on our side. He asked what we believe to have been the perfect questions in order to assist us on which Coupe model to purchase. We were never pressured or rushed into anything, we felt in control thru the whole process. Everything that was promised by Abi was delivered. Cesar (financing) was a joy to work with as well, once again we felt that a member of Universal Hyundai was on our side.

I have already commented to several friends on not only the awesome car we purchased, but on the outstanding experience and service we received at Universal Hyundai. My 2 sons will be needing cars soon, so we will be talking to Abi real soon.

Cesar Robles assisted me with financing and provided an excellent description of the extended warranty service plan and service maintenance plan. I purchased both and don't regret a thing. I have visited the dealership several times for routine maintenance and everyone remembers me and is extremely friendly. In January 2011 I had a part replaced on my car and my warranty covered everything and even paid for a rental for 2 days! It was awesome! I love Universal Hyundai and Nissan!

We were able to work out a deal with the payment we wanted.

Very friendly from the moment I walked in. Dusty personally went out of his way to make sure I got the exact car I wanted and when I wanted it. He also had great knowledge of the cars and never rushed me into a purchase. On day of delivery he picked me up and brought me to the dealership where all the paperwork was ready to go. Very smooth process. He also answered any questions I had about the vehicle, went through how to work everything, and even programmed my phone with the Bluetooth.

He was very informative and knowledgeable about the vehicle we were buying. He followed up with us after the purchase to ensure our satisfaction. We would be happy to work with him again in the future.

Our only concern during the entire buying process was with the finance portion of the sale. Initially the finance rate quoted was significantly higher than what Hyundai advertised, despite our near perfect credit rating. However, when we questioned why we were not offered the advertised rate, it was then provided to us.

My Review of Universal Hyundai:

I am very happy with my gray Hyundai Sonata. Abi Dorta was extremely helpful. Car shopping is one of my least favorite things to do - so much so that I lease a car which forces me to get another one before I have to get it fixed. So, the time had come for me to look for another...and I had started going to various dealerships throughout the central Florida area. My visits were the typical car-searching experiences, but when I met Abi at Universal Hyundai, he went out of his way to help me with specifics that I really wanted - informing me of options that no other salesperson had suggested. I had started looking for a car closer to home, and had then progressively moved further and further away. The distance was well worth the find. Thanks to Abi for being so gracious and considerate. All of the people I dealt with in addition to Abi (Felix and the financing person)were a pleasure. So, this time, the ending of my car shopping was a positive experience...making future car buying excursions not a thing to be dreaded, knowing that I will go back to Universal Hyundai and Abi in the future.

This dealer was recommended by USAA and they gave me a very good deal on a V6 but when I asked if they had any deals on the V8 they said of course. I was able to get a V8 for only $190.00 more than V6. They were also able to give me an outstanding interest rate that was so much lower than my preferred bank that I was able to get a 10 year bumper to bumper warranty and it cost me nothing compared to going with my financing from my bank.

They really made shopping fun. I highly recommend them for having the best Genesis prices in the country.

 


I went there with my father on May 17th to service our Hyundai Tuscon. It was proficient service, the staff was very friendly and courteous. They told us it would take 4 hours, where in reality it only took half the time, and also got to get a manicure. We were very pleased with the service both to the vehicle and to us as well. You are doing a wonderful job. Thank you

My Review of Universal Hyundai:

I went to about 8 different dealerships, and my experience with Hyundai was definitely the best. They found a great balance between making you feel like they actually care about having your business as a customer, while not being too pushy. I started my search at Holler Hyundai, and they were also a pleasure to deal with. However, I ended up actually buying my car at Universal Hyundai because their inventory was larger and they had exactly what I was looking for. Hugo Ortiz, the internet sales manager at Universal Hyundai, was absolutely fantastic. He is just an all-around cool guy to deal with, and he took the time to really explain everything to me in detail -- from all the features of the car, to the entire sales process from start to finish. He even offered to follow me to drop off my rental car just in case Enterprise wasn't able to bring me back. And when it came time to actually sign the paperwork, the price they gave me was actually the price I paid. Naturally there are some additional dealer fees, processing fees, etc. -- but they all seemed very reasonable. Believe me, there were many dealerships where I felt like they were just giving me the price they thought I would pay and seeing how much they could take advantage of me. I really did not feel that way at Universal Hyundai. So I would highly recommend this dealership, and also suggest that you ask for Hugo : )

My Review of Universal Hyundai:

Was sent to this dealership because of their participation in Zag.com pricing structure. Got a firm email quote IN ADVANCE of getting to the showroom - cash deal, no trade. Internet sales rep confirmed the quoted price and my wife inquired about other vehicles with higher options - got an even better price than my research indicated! No hassles from sales, then went to F&I (Finance and Insurance) to close the cash deal. Normal offers of extended warranties, etc were turned down with no pressure. However, I was offered exceptional 0.9% financing based upon my credit score which I accepted (almost free money!). Once each person in the chain knew that I was a serious and knowledgeable buyer, there was nothing but excellent interaction with no problems. I was actually treated like a family member with frank discussions of the business of car sales and suggestions that were designed to help me rather than hokey sales tactics to take me! Go in with the idea of being a prepared consumer and you will reap the benefits!

Hugo was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating during our driving test and the negotiating process. This dealership lacked the 'snakeoil salesman' feel, which I appreciated. However, I would have liked to drive a harder bargain regarding the vehicle price, but had to stop short, because the Elantra is in such high demand at the moment that further cost lowering attempts on my part would have resulted in a breakdown of the negotiations and somebody else would be calling herself the owner of the red, four-wheeled beauty sitting in our garage today. Unfortunately that's just the luck of the draw if you have your mind set on this particular vehicle at this point in time.

He made sure that we knew where every department was in the dealership, I feel he made sure that all of our questions were answered and that when we left, My husband and I feel that all of our questions were answered. Mr. Seminaro also made three follow-up calls to us to make sure that everything was fine and to make sure we were completely satisfied. I also feel that I need to mention the Sales Manager and Finance Manager; both gentlemen were very helpful and explained all documents that were involved in the sales process. I feel Universal Hyundai has a wonderful staff that definitely meets all of the clients needs. I will definitely be purchasing all of my vehicles in the future from Universal Hyundai.

We had a very nice experience with Jonathan. The car buying process is typically not enjoyable and takes way too long. However, Jonathan interacted with us while we waited for paperwork. He is personable and professional. Perception means everything in life and my perception was that he seemed to sincerely care about our situation and was working hard to help push things along. Jonathan truly turned our views of car salesman from negative to positive. Thank you Jonathan Vargas!

My Review of Universal Hyundai:
We were looking for a replacement car for my wife's Cadillac STS, and after looking over a Genesis that we saw in a parking lot, decided to visit Universal to take a closer look at a new one. We were greeted by Michael Pizza, and were told that he was on his third day as a Hyundai salesman. He was a personable and helpful representative, and after looking over the Genesis line that were in stock, we took one for a test and were impressed with the vehicle's ride and handling. We sat down to negotiate a sales price on the V-8 Genesis we had test driven, but reached a stalemate. Felix entered the picture, and told us they had just received a V-6 Genesis that had all the options of the V-8, same exterior and interior colors, that we could have at our price point. We agreed, and then went into the office of Jose Rivera to sign the papers. Jose took the time to explain the options of leasing versus purchase, extended warranty offerings, etc. We had planned to pay cash for the car, and had already written a check, but Jose said we could finance the car for three years at zero interest, so we decided to finance the car and purchase a Platinum extended warranty with the money saved on interest. We picked up our new Genesis the next day, it was ready at the promised time, and Michael Pizza spent quite a bit of time to explain operation of the vehicle and options that were on it. Buying a car can be a very trying experience, but our experience at Universal Hyundai turned out to be quite pleasant, and we never felt any undue pressure to make a deal.

My Review of Universal Hyundai:
This dealership is great-- terrific customer service, speedy processing (w/o making you feel rushed), very attentive, etc. Adam is a rock star! He has sold 2 cars (2011 Santa Fe and Elantra) to my family and he's the only person we ever need to talk. We highly recommend him!

I went to the dealership with one car in mind, and after Adam talked to me he recommended I go with the Elantra--and for good reason too. Adam truly wanted me to have the best car for myself. He was upfront and honest about the +/- of each car I was interested in and he gave me a terrific deal with the car I ultimately chose. They were flexible with the price negotiations. I ended up financing through the dealership with a good rate.

The whole process took a few hours and I walked out of there feeling very good about the purchase and the whole customer service experience.

You won't go wrong with Adam Karlski or the rest of the folks at Universal Hyundai!

My Review of Universal Hyundai:
I am 72 years old and have purchased 12 new vehicles in my lifetime. This has by far been the most enjoyable, hassle free new car purchase I have ever made. The price was agreed upon before I even came to the dealership. Upon completion of the purchase the price was as agreed upon to the penny no ups or downs or hidden fees or ad dons. I rode my bicycle to an agreed upon pickup point and the salesman delivered the vehicle to me there. Great experience.

My Review of Universal Hyundai:
This was a great experience for me. From the moment I stepped on the premises, Teodoro Seminario welcomed me with a great smile and handshake. Once I told him what I was looking for he was extremely helpful. He knows his stuff. Great personality. His knowledge of the cars he sales is amazing. I had already visited a few other car dealers and had promised to return, but once I met Teodoro that was it! I purchased the 2011 Sonata.. A great car. Teodoro was great throughout the sale and delivery of my car. He's the best and I will definitely refer my friends and relatives to him.

My Review of Universal Hyundai:
I had really great experience from day one. This dealer has raised the bar when it comes to customer service. I would definitely recommend this dealer to other prospects in the market for a new or newer car. Hugo Ortiz made this scary process for me a breeze. I wouldn't request anyone else, not that the others aren't good, I personally was truly satisfied with his attention to detail and his drive to ensure that I got what I wanted and nothing less or more. Cesar Robles did a wonderful job as well, when it comes to the financial aspect of this experience. I was very impressed with his honesty and his willingness to make sure that I was being treated fairly as a new first time car buyer. As a recent college graduate this was a very big move for me and my future. I felt an ease throughout the process thanks to him. Overall experience I would give it and "A", and will be sure to recommend to others.

My Review of Universal Hyundai:
Great experience all the way around. Ray took the time to go through everything in detail. We bought two cars in the same day from separate dealerships. Although the experience was good at the other dealership, it was nothing compared to the service we received from Ray and Jose. Ray took the time to explain how the features of the car worked and took the time to go through the handbooks rather than just handing them to us and expecting me to do the research. AWESOME JOB!!!!

He answered every question through the process and makes us feel free to ask any concern. Now we are enjoying our new Hyundai.

My Review of Universal Hyundai:
Richard Harris is the Internet Sales Manager. I contacted several dealerships on Monday morning regarding a 2011 Hyundai Elantra Limited. He was the first to respond. He had two in stock, and was great in explaining the cars he had. I came to the dealership a few hours later. Richard gave us the most in-depth review of the car, and let us test drive the car. After we made a deal, he helped us set everything up - including syncing our iPhones to the Bluetooth, and gave us a full overview of everything the car had to offer. I would do business with Universal Hyundai (and especially Richard) any day. The entire process was much better than any previous car purchase I have had.

The best new car buying experience we have ever had, no hassle and very professional. The price that we received from their internet pricing program was incredible. This takes out the haggle and surprises that most dealerships operate by. If you are looking for a great deal on any new Hyundai, ask for internet sales associate Richard Harris. He knows what it takes to make your purchasing experience pleasant.

Thank you Rich.

I found a nice 2008 Toyota Corolla on cars.com with a great price, I went to Universal Hyundai and someone else was there trying to buy it. At first I did not believe them until I saw the customer, she bought the car and I was offered to look at a 2009 Certified Hyundai Sonata. Hugo did a great job showing me the benefits of a Certified Hyundai and I am very happy that the Toyota got sold, this car is great, and Hyundai has come a long way. Thanks Hugo.

I also left a CD in my trade in vehicle, which I thought would be lost forever. Tito located my trade in and put the CD in the mail. I would HIGHLY recommend Tito Mella if you are interested in purchasing a quality vehicle from Universal Hyundai.

Pierre
I was very pleased with my purchase. Pierre was very helpful and patient. I have had two Hyundai?s and they are a very reliable car so I was happy to come purchase another one. I was not harassed or pressured to buy but I was helped and worked with on what I was looking for. I also thought it was quite thoughtful that beverages were offered while I waited even though my wait wasn't long at all.

Attention: Mr. Al Chalashtori

Store Manager

On March 9, 2011 I went to Universal Hyundai with my son, Kevin N. to co-sign his first vehicle purchase. As soon as I parked my vehicle a Sales Consultant offered me assistance. His name is Jose Cepeda. He was a handsome and gentle guy and oriented my son and I about the car we desired. I told Mr. Cepeda the models of the vehicle we were interested in, as well as the conditions to qualify for the payments. Rapidly he and Mr. Felix Matos, the Desk Manager, showed us a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon Special Edition as well as a few other vehicles. Immediately my son fell in love with the Tiburon. Jose and Mr. Felix Matos consulted both of us about the financing procedures. My son and I were very pleased with the attention that we received we decided to purchase the 2007 Hyundai Tiburon Special Edition.

 

I felt so happy for the kind of experience we had with Mr. Jose Cepeda that I decided to purchase another vehicle for myself. On March 12, 2011 I went back to Universal Hyundai and dealt with Jose again. He drove me to view the vehicles in an exhibition at McCoy where they were hosting a bank event and explained the process of leasing. Again Jose consulted with Mr. Felix Matos and he gently gave me all the information about having an opportunity to qualify and monthly payments. I decided to buy a 2010 Toyota Corolla.

 

For the time I spent waiting at the Dealer, Mr. Cepeda offered me food and beverage. Giving me the consideration and awesome treatment I noticed that he did the same for all the other clients as well.

 

To summarize, all the employees at Universal Hyundai gave me an excellent service. For that reason I will refer anyone I know with the intention to purchase to your Dealer. Finally, I consider that Mr. Cepeda should be, not only the Employee of the Month, but the Best Employee of the Month for Universal Hyundai.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Ruth M.
