I came in to this dealership after talking with them on
April 19, 2024
By carrottopkaos on DealerRater
I came in to this dealership after talking with them on the phone several times and after many text messages. I told my sales person what my situation was and the car I wanted to look at was. I made it perfectly clear that if they could help me great and if not don't waste my time. I went in on Saturday look at and drive one car but was shown a totally different one. I was informed that this was the ONLY car that they would deal with me on. So I looked at it and drove it and I liked the car and I sat down with my salesperson and the sales manager and talked and came to and understanding. Monday I decided to pull the trigger and wanted to put a down payment of$500 on the car. Thursday I was told that my $500 wasn't good enough they wanted $1500. When I told them that $500 is all I had at the time to put down on the car I was told that they would get back to me that day and since then nothing, no call, no text, nothing. I tried to call and text nobody would answer me. So I returned the $500 to my family member and I guess I'm screwed.

By Jon on DealerRater
From my first interaction, I have been impressed with Cronin Hyundai. The sales department has always been upfront and operated with integrity throughout the entire process. I just purchased my 5th new Hyundai from Wayne Mitchell (sales) and Austin (sales manager) who are both very knowledgeable and professional. Ask for the "Guy with the Hat"; Wayne is a pleasure to work with!

December 14, 2023
By deacon frost on DealerRater
This is a review of the service department only.Only on rare occasions do I give negative reviews, but Cronin’s’ service was so bad I had no choice. I’ll only provide facts so you can decide for yourself if the negative review is warranted.The USB port used for android auto was broken and needed to be replaced.August 4rd – Cronin checked the car out. Based on their assessment they ordered the necessary parts.August 22nd – Once the parts arrived, I brought the car in for repair. They were unable to complete the repair because the port hadn’t arrived, but they were able to replace the “other working components” which included the USB port on the passenger side which was not broken. They said they would order the missing part and would schedule a follow-up to finish the repair.October 9th - Called to verify that the parts were in stock. They confirmed that they had the necessary parts.October 10 – Took the car back in but they were not able to resolve the issue, because they didn’t have the necessary parts.October 17 - Took the car back in again but they were unable to complete the repair. The service rep said “We didn’t do anything to it.” I started to raise my voice asking why they were unable to finish the repair, at which point the rep slammed my key fob on the service counter and stormed off across the service bay. I never got an answer as to the repair wasn’t finished and was not given any paperwork.During my ghastly ordeal with Cronin, I spoke to their Parts and Service Director Steve Dattilo. Steve is based in Ohio. He stated that he was going to be at the Cronin Hyundai in Nicholasville on the following Friday and follow up with the service department and let me know. I never heard back from him. I did call and speak to him on several other occasions but there was never any resolution.I purchased the car at Don Franklin in Lexington but their service department was so booked up it took several weeks to get an appointment. Because I already had a bad feeling about Cronin, I did make an appointment with Don Franklin for September 1st, at which time they performed their assessment and ordered the necessary parts.Once the parts arrived the car was scheduled for repair on November 7th. Don Franklin completed the repair in 4 hours. Their service rep stated that it was “Simple repair, the entire unit comes in one piece and it was just a matter of swapping them out.”They explained to me that the reason it takes so long to get an appointment with them is because they end up servicing cars purchased from several other dealers including Gates Hyundai in Richmond and Cronin Hyundai in Nicholasville.I have other issues with Cronin Hyundai but I’m not including them because they’re subjective and I wanted to base my review on facts.

By steve.baker3185 on DealerRater
Service department showed me to dirty filters (air and cabin) and said they needed to be replaced. I declined and the service rep returned to his area with the dirty filters. I saw my vehicle in the parking lot. The technician did not return to my vehicle. He came back to the waiting area in a few minutes and told me my service work was complete. The dirty filters had obviously not come from my vehicle. When I got home I looked at my filters and they were fine. Blatant fraud by the service rep

We purchased a used car 2016 Honda odyssey with 85,XXX
October 9, 2023
By Mckenzi S on DealerRater
We purchased a used car 2016 Honda odyssey with 85,XXX miles on it in early July, within 2 weeks we had transmission issues. We took it back so they could figure out what was wrong and fix it since it was under warranty. It sat there for a week without anyone looking into it. We called repeatedly for updates and were told the person in charge of our case was not in the office, then that is was someone else who’s as actually in charge of our case, we were promised a call back multiple times but it took days of my husband calling to finally have a manager return the call. Once the manager was involved they were relatively quick with getting the transmission fixed.The headlight was out when it was purchased but we did not realize for a few days because it was not driven in the dark yet. We also noticed it was pulling to the left and needed its tires aligned. Cronin gave us a receipt that stated it was completed but the light bulb was not changed out and the car still pulls to the left. We have had to pay to fix these elsewhere because it has been such a hassle to deal with Cronin. I would not recommend purchasing a car from them. I was really disappointed in our experience.

August 7, 2023
By Tinytoonn on DealerRater
Do not take your car here to get service they are full of crap. Someone tried to steal my daughters car and took out her ignition. She called them and they said they could fix it so she gad it towed there. It sat there for 5 days no one contacted her or answered the phone when she called. She made a trip down there and of course the service department people were gone. She had to cuss them out to get someone to finally call her back. They gave her an estimate and told her it would be a month before they could fix it. She found someone else and had AAA pick up her car. They wouldn’t release her car they said she had to pay $165 diagnostic fee. Fee for what? She told them what was wrong they ignored her and didn’t contact her at all. They was too busy trying to sell her a new car!!!! The. Gonna charge her???? Customer service is horrible I even called and they hung up on me!!!

June 26, 2023
By Ahmelamouri on DealerRater
This has been the worst experience I have had with any dealership ever. I went in for a simple anti-thief recall for my 2017 Elantra that was mandatory if I want any future services from the dealership. Now my car alarm goes off after I start the car with the automatic remote start. I take it back to them and they tell me there is nothing we can do for you. They will not even attempt to fix their mistake! This issue still has not been resolved. Very unprofessional. They have told me lie after lie. They have wasted my time and money.

Service dept.
June 20, 2023
By Graham from Nicholasville, KY
Service dept. forgot about my car for 3 days and then wanted to charge me for an oil change and windshield wipers which we had not authorized them to do. Service person was very rude when we pointed this out and actually told me we must have ordered it because that's what the computer said. We did not have to pay for the things we didn't authorize, but could have just apologized for the mistake. I don't know anything about the sales people, but the service department just reinforced the stereotype of sleazy car dealerships. Will never go back there for any service. They were very bad at communicating with customers.

I was very pleased with the support I received from Blake Maiden, my Product Specialist. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He went the extra mile to help me find the product and the price I was looking for. The entire experience was very pleasant and relaxing for buying a great car.
