Excellent Salesperson!
by RC on 07/24/2025Karen Kingsley is an exceptional salesperson. She went out of her way to answer all my questions, anticipate my needs, and spend lots of time with me making sure I understood all the features of the Hyundai Elantra I chose. As I was… preparing to drive my new car home, she reassured me that she would remain available to answer my questions, and encouraged me to get in touch with any questions or concerns.RC, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted Karen handled your wishes with the utmost advocacy and grace. Congrats on the new Elantra! Here's wishing you all the best in your travels, from everyone at Lia Hyundai.

All in one day
by ljco on 05/29/2025We went to the dealership as walk-in, but ended up leaving the place with car keys. All in one day! What supposed to be just an inquiry turned to be our best decision to date. Mike, who attended to us, was so accommodating. He knows how to… match what you need without pushing—laying out the best options you can get. He assissted us from start to the end, even showed us that Hyundai key fobs are actually Hyundai logo which is pretty cool! Everything was taken care of from start to finish, dmv papers, assistance on getting an auto insurance, and options on practical ad-ons. Great people, great manager, great options and services. A lot of thanks to Jeff, and of course, to Mike—a great guy who's doing a really great job!Nothing means more to us than your satisfaction, so thank you for your awesome review of Mike! We're pleased he did everything he could to make sure your transaction was flawless. Congratulations! Best wishes for amazing travels in your new car!

Karen Kingsley at Lia Hyundai
by Diana L on 04/04/2025In my years of owning about 9 Hyundai vehicles with at least 4 different dealerships. I can honestly say Lia Hyundai is the best of all, starting with the amazing salesperson Karen Kingsley. Karen made the whole transition smooth. She… delivered the exact vehicle that I was looking for. She made sure I was happy with my purchase of 2025 Palisade. Karen went over everything step by step-she was very patient and addressed all my questions with such professionalism . I will definitely refer Karen Kingsley at Lia Hyundai to everyone.Diana, we truly appreciate your awesome review and recommendation of Karen! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Congratulations on your new Palisade! Best wishes for pleasant travels, from the whole team at Lia Hyundai.

Glad we went with Lia Hyundai!!!
by Kirk Harrington on 02/28/2025My wife and I purchased a Hyundai Palisade from Lia Hyundai with the assistance of our saleswoman, Cassandra Storm. We are more than happy with the professional service we received from Cassandra and her team. A week after we set up this… lease, my wife was involved in an accident where the vehicle had to be totaled out. Luckily, as it seems, insurance has covered everything, and everyone involved was not injured. The following week we were back at Lia Hyundai to get yet another Hyundai Palisade (this time we went with white). We are very satisfied with the vehicle and the service we received both times. Here's to hoping we don't need to go through this again, at least until the lease is up. THANK YOU, LIA HYUNDAI!!!!!!!!!!Wow! What an incredible experience, Kirk! Thank you for sharing how helpful Cassandra was to you and your wife through this process. We wish your family safe and pleasant travels from here on out!
