We visited the Hyundai Minstergate showroom this evening - I don't know what to say other than "fantastic all around". Woman on reception was friendly and said Hi. Great first impressions :)
Kevin was stood in proximity to the reception and happily greeted me and my wife (and the two kids) and straight away got us seated at his desk to talk car....
Within 2 minutes he had the kids occupied with lego blocks and coloring crayons, had them drinking the kids drinks, offered myself and the wife a drink on several occasions.
I went into the garage with a budget under £20,000 for a used car. In the end we went for a brand new car which was better than what we had planned, not because that's his job to up-sell, but because he explained in detail what was the best financial options.
And the best thing............ He wasn't a pushy sales person which is the one thing I thank him for. Personally a sales rep gets more respect from me when he/she isn't trying to force something upon the customer, and for that I was happy to continue with the deal.
Kevin explained in great detail all the financial options available based upon the information I provided him. The part ex price he gave me was more than I expected (less than private, but that's a given) but certainly more than I had thought.
One thing I will say, and take it how you wish... the cars aren't as cheap as other Hyundai garages outside of York (not by much), but believe me... I'd happily go back to the York branch and pay that tiny bit more when I know the service is going to be spot on.
Myself and the wife came away from the garage happy and had nothing negative to say about the dealership or the sales people. All positives from our end - we just can't wait to pick up our new car in a week or so :)
