Purchase of 2023 Hyundai Tucson

5 out of 5 starsby Heidi on 08/20/2025

Faiz Mandozai was a wonderful salesman. He was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and experienced. He explained the car’s functions in detail and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend looking for him at Lia Hyundai on Central Ave in Albany. He will take good care of you and ensure you are pleased with and comfortable with your purchase.
  • Heidi, we could not have asked for a more glowing review of Faiz. It's obvious he made sure you were well taken care of. Congrats on your new Tucson! May your satisfaction grow over many happy travels!

    This was the best car buying experience I have ever had! The salesperson Karen Kingsley was simply amazing. Very knowledgeable about the car we wanted and answered every question without hesitation.most importantly she wasn’t pushy she let us set the pace for the sale. I would definitely buy from them again

  • Maddy S.

    5 out of 5 starsby Maddy S on 09/01/2023

    Per usual I was very satisfied with my service at Lia Hyundai. My check engine light came on and Mike Carpenter took very good care of me. He was able to get me in find out the problem and got it taken care of along with my car needed to be inspected this month and he was able to get that done too. I have been coming here for years and will always be back thanks to Mike Carpenter.
    • Maddy, thanks so much for the 5 stars! We truly appreciate your continued business, and we're pleased Mike made this another valuable and convenient experience. We hope to ensure the same circumstances at your next appointment!

  • Fast, honest, courteous -- thank you Shane Dobert and the Lia Hyundai Team!

    5 out of 5 starsby Peter S on 08/19/2023

    After looking around at other dealerships, we settled on Lia of Albany, due to their consistently high ratings (in comparison to many other Hyundai service centers in the downstate region where we live). We actually use Lia for our regular servicing even though it's 200 miles from where we live, combining the service appt. with visits to family in the Capital District). Never any surprises, and whenever there is something to be done I alway trust that it's necessary. For my latest servicing, nothing but the highest praise for Shane Dobert, who serviced my car -- took no longer than he said it would; reported his assessment about something I had heard from the car; and was extremely courteous. Thank you Shane Dobert and the whole Lia team.
    • Thanks for sharing some awesome feedback with us, Peter. Your complete satisfaction is the reason behind everything we do, so we're glad Shane continues to deliver the high quality of service you've come to expect from us. Thank you for always choosing Lia Hyundai of Albany!

  • Great Service

    5 out of 5 starsby Anthony on 07/31/2023

    The salesperson, Claudio Montano, who I was with did amazing. They communicated very well and we’re able to help me get an idea of the ins and outs of the car and helped me to understand what I was getting into as someone who hasn’t gone through the process of financing a car before. Would definitely recommend!
    • Thanks so much, Anthony! We're absolutely delighted Claudio provided you with a supportive and smooth experience. We hope you'll continue to choose Lia Hyundai for all your automotive needs, and wish you pleasant travels until we see you again!

  • Great Service Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Joe P on 04/21/2023

    This is the way a service call should be. Service Writer Scott Valet's smiling greeting set the tone for a great experience. He more than satisfactorily answered all my questions, wrote up the service order, then directed me to a state-of-the-art waiting area, The area was equipped with a refrigerator with cold water and a coffee/tea service with numerous choices. I received a commentary wash and was on my way in just over one hour. Couldn't be happier!!!
    • Joe, thanks for sharing thoughtful feedback about your service visit with Scott! It sounds ideal, and we're happy it was done in such a timely manner. We wish you pleasant journeys until we see you again!

  • Maddy S

    5 out of 5 starsby Maddy S on 03/29/2023

    Just want to thank Mike Carpenter again with all the help he gave to me with my 2016 Sonata. I had an issue with the check engine light coming on and then there was a campaign issue on my car. Mike was able to solve my problem and get it all taken care of under my extended service warranty. I am ever so grateful to him for his assistance. This is why I keep coming back to Lia Hyundai for the service on my Sonata.
    • Hey, Maddy! Thanks for sharing your wonderful feedback on this service visit with Mike. We're glad Mike handled your vehicle's issues with urgency and made sure you were taken care of, as well. We look forward to making your next appointment just as superb. Safe travels until then!

    5 out of 5 starsby Kris L on 03/06/2023

    My experience with Lia Hyundai of Albany was the best! Cassandra Storms is a wonderful salesperson and an asset to the dealership. She is a pleasure to work with and made the whole car shopping process easy from start to finish. She listened to what I was looking for and showed me a few cars that would meet my needs. I liked that I was presented with options and was not pressured to make a decision. Once I did, Cassandra diligently managed the process throughout the sale. Also, Emily Triplett in finance was great to work with, she also made sure everything went smoothly. I am happy with my car purchase and so pleased that the process to get it went so well, thanks to this talented team!
    • Kris, thank you for sharing the highlights of your dealership experience with Cassandra and Emily! We're absolutely delighted to know how pleased you were with the patient and seamless service with which you were provided.

  • Maddy

    5 out of 5 starsby Maddy S on 02/19/2023

    I, as usual, was very satisfied with my service today at Lia Hyundai with Mike Carpenter. I am on my third Sonata here at Lia and have always have great things to say. Mike is always able to assist me with issues I have with getting around. He gets me settled in the waiting room and then brings me the paper work to sign. I have always been very happy with my service here and look forward to my next service appointment with Mike Carpenter.
    • Maddy, it's so kind of you to stop by and let us know how much you have appreciated Mike's service for your Sonatas over the years. We truly appreciate you! We graciously look forward to making your next appointment just as superb.

  • Easy and straightforward!

    5 out of 5 starsby Carolyn Loeb on 02/13/2023

    Karen Kingsley at Lia Hyundai made the buying process so easy for me. I asked her for a quote on the car I wanted in writing, which she honored, and she was very proactive at getting all of the needed information from me prior to the purchase date. She was always available to answer my questions, and I’m loving my new car. Thank you Karen! I’m very glad to have bought my car from you. Can’t wait to get my new plates in the mail!
    • Hey, Carolyn! That's wonderful news! We're thrilled you're loving the new car and we sincerely appreciate your 5-star review of the amazing buying experience Karen provided for you to get it. We wish you all the best in your travels to come. Enjoy every mile!
