I left this service visit feeling frustrated and misled.
I left this service visit feeling frustrated and misled. Kevin, my advisor, assured me over the phone that replacing my front brakes and rotors would cost about $500–$600, which matched other quotes I had received. That was the only reason I brought my car here. What he failed to mention was that this price did not include labor. When I came to pick up my car, I was blindsided with a total of $820.97. Even when I questioned the amount, I wasn’t told it was because of a $415 labor charge. Instead, I got a vague explanation that “everything is original.” It felt deceptive and unprofessional, especially because I was there with my three-year-old and didn’t have the time or focus to argue on the spot. Clear communication about costs should never be optional—it’s basic honesty. To make matters worse, I reached out multiple times by email and phone and was told I’d get a call back, but no one ever followed up. Avoid this place at all cost!!!

I was ready to buy car and Martin Romero told me to "Come in". I got a check from Credit Union to buy the specific VIN only to have Martin tell me "Sorry, it is sold". Wasted hours of my time plus a hard credit pull.

Hands down the best car buying experience!
Hands down the best car buying experience! They put the human element into buying a car. Arkeem, Eric, and Povl all not only listened but understood our needs, wants, and concerns and addressed each of them. There was ZERO pressure to make a decision, it was clear they wanted a happy customer, not just a sale. Once we made our decision, paperwork was done quickly but not rushed. We actually laughed and enjoyed signing car loan documents😄. I’ve purchased Dodge, Kia, Ford, Subaru, and Hyundai from other dealerships but nothing beats the experience at Saffard Brown Hyundai. I cannot recommend this sales team enough!

Worst experience ever brought 2020 Sonata Hybrid in
Worst experience ever brought 2020 Sonata Hybrid in because couldn’t get into car without having to use key to open hidden key access. After being able to start car with key fob against start button was able to bring in for service waited almost a month to get back same problem two weeks latter. Dealer had car for almost 4 months waiting for 12 volt battery. We got back car and traded it in for a different car manufacturer. Will never buy another Hyundai. Car had 27000 miles on it.

I would leave zero stars if possible!
I would leave zero stars if possible! We have had nothing but issues with this dealership. I will start with the car itself. We are having starter issues as well as stalling issues with our 2023 Santa Fe that we purchased new in April 2023. We have had the car to service twice with no resolve. This is our only car and they refuse to allow us a loaner so this coming Friday we are paying out of pocket for a rental car in order to drop the car off for the day. We have provided video as well as spoken with the service manager Sam on the phone and his solution was to make us an appointment for October 21st to drop the car - after knowing we are having major issues with the car starting and stalling. He didn't even follow up with us after telling us he would. Also, each time we have been in for service, we are never acknowledged, all the advisors are sitting behind the desk on their cell phones and we have to say loudly hello in order for someone to look up. Next issue is refund of warranties purchased through the dealership at time of purchase. We requested with Mr. Wise in finance on 08-08-2024 that the paperwork be sent to the two companies to cancel three warranties. I followed up with the warranty companies end of August and they had never received the paperwork. I attempted to contact Mr. Wise in finance several times. He would never respond so we went to the dealership and met with Kerri in finance. Not only was she rude, she was not helpful either. They blame accounting for everything. I have now confirmed with the warranty companies all three have been cancelled but the dealership is responsible for refunding two of the three to the bank. Again, nobody is helping or providing us any type of contact information for accounting - which is who finance keeps blaming for the delay. We are now waiting again with no resolve. I have filed a complaint with BBB with no response. We have searched online for someone higher up in the company to contact but we keep getting routed back to the dealership. Our hope is to get rid of this lemon and never have to deal with this dealership again. This experience has turned us off of the brand itself - we will never purchase another Hyundai again. This is the worst all around experience we have ever had with a car brand or dealership. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.

Our team has acknowledged this review.
We purchased our new vehicle a few months ago.
We purchased our new vehicle a few months ago. Erick and Shak were very professional and great to deal with during the buying process. The professionalism and care did not stop once we had our vehicle. We ended up having an issue and the Service department stepped up, even providing a loaner until the issue was resolved. The Service Manager Sam is awesome. He was very responsive, always keeping us informed. They really do have a great team at Safford Brown Hyundai. I highly recommend them whether you’re purchasing a vehicle or simply need your vehicle serviced.

I took my Santa Fe Hybrid 2023 white for car wash to this
I took my Santa Fe Hybrid 2023 white for car wash to this dealership on Saturday 2/24/2024 . I purchased my car from this dealership brand new. Unfortunately, it was a very bad experience as follow: 1- Female service receptionist was not helpful. She did not even bother to see my car records. When I asked for supervisor she did not call him/her. 2- Coffee machine was not working. No snacks were provided. Refrigerator was completely empty. 3- Car was washed very poorly. Visible dark spot on the car. Floor were not vacuumed. No paper cover was placed on the floor. No plastic cover on seat. 4- Mirrors and seat settings were all changed drastically. I was about to have an accident because of it. 5- While we were waiting inside for a long time, the staff who brought and parked the car (very young man, hispanic) was wasting a lot of time speaking with his friend and not brining the key inside so we can leave. 6- Considering all the above, it shows lack of supervision, quality control and quality assurance at this dealership. Not recommended!
