No Games or Pressure At Gartner Hyundai

by Dave Wooten (Yorkville, IL) on October 26, 2011
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

My wife and I purchased a 2012 Sonata Limited from Mike Budzinski and are very happy with the car and the way we were treated by Mike.

I had done quite a bit of research so when I went in at the beginning of August and saw Mike I was pretty sure what I wanted. Mike offered a test drive which I took. I was in and out of the dealership within 15 minutes. The next day I came in with my wife and she took a Sonata out for a test ride. We went back in and talked with Mike about the models and options. Mike was very straight forward about the pricing, no games or pressure. I had done online research and the price he quoted was almost identical to the lowest price I could supposedly get online at a dealer over 50 miles away! We felt very confident with Mike and Gartner so we placed our order.

Since the 2012's were just coming out it took a while to get our car, but the wait was worth it. We have been enjoying our Sonata and when it is time to replace our other car we will definately go back to Gartner and ask for Mike! 

Our reply

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wooten,

Thank you so very much for such a kind and detailed review.  Mike has been with Gartner Hyundai for nearly 13 years, and we are pleased to have him on board.

Please enjoy your new Sonata, which was named 2011's International Car of the Year.  And, thank you for giving Gartner Hyundai the opportunity to earn your business.

Sincerely,

Roland Gartner

Most Positive AND No Hassle Car Buying Experience For This Evanston IL Customer At Gartner Hyundai

by Burt Miller (Evanston, IL) on October 7, 2011
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

This was my most positive car buying experience from first contact to picking up my new car. My salesman was knowledgable and efficient. I especially appreciated the no hassle pricing based on a USAA price at another dealer. I was very pleasantly surprised. My only regret is that I do not live close enough to your dealership for service and to take advantage of the extended warranty offerred. I think you should open a dealer location on the north shore ! And I just love driving my new Elantra. Thanks

Burt Miller

Our reply

Dear Burt,

Hmmm, the North Shore?  It is a beautiful area, I just might have to consider that, lol.

Thank you for making the trip to Aurora, with traffic I know it can take awhile.  Thank your for review and giving Gartner Hyundai Saab the opportunity to earn your business.  Wishing you many years of happy driving in your new Elantra!

With Thanks,

Roland Gartner

Happy Gartner Hyundai Customer From Plainfield

by James Standhardt (Plainfield, IL) on August 16, 2011
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

After researching family sedans for about a month I decided the Sonata was the way to go.  I shopped around and, after interracting with a couple salesmen from other dealerships that were obviously more concerned with selling me a car as quickly as possible than they were about me getting a car that suited my needs the best, I met Mike at Gartner.  After spending about 10 minutes with Mike my wife and I knew we would be buying our new Sonata from him.  I've driven the new Sonata for about a week now and couldn't be happier with the purchase (the 30mpg work commute in the suburbs will help that!).  Make sure to ask for Mike Budzinski when you stop in, he's a great guy!

Our reply

Dear James,

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sonata, and thank you very much for your business.  I have already congratulated Mike on a job well done.  Thank you for taking the time to let me know.

Sincerely,

Great Experience and Great Price At Gartner Hyundai For This Repeat Customer

by Mike Doolin (Aurora, IL) on August 8, 2011
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

We came in looking for a car to replace our 04 Sante Fe. Mike B. did a great job of steering us to the 2012 Sonata. Not only is it a great car for a great price, Mike B. made us feel comfortable and wasn't some overbearing car salesman. We bought our Sante Fe from Mike and in the future when we are looking for a car, I will go to Mike first.

Our reply

Dear Mike,

I'm always happy to hear about customers returning not only to Gartner Hyundai Saab, but also to the same salesperson.  That in itself, says a lot!

Thank you for your continued business.  Enjoy you new Sonata!  We look forward to assisting you again in the future.

Sincerely,

Five Time Repeat Customer Returns To Gartner Hyundai

by Tom and Arleen Twardowski (Aurora, IL) on June 8, 2011
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

Recently picked up a Vera Cruz and are totally happy with our purchase.  This is about the 4th or 5th car purchased at Gartner and we have always dealt with Mike.  We really don't think we would come into Aurora for a new car if it wasn't for Mike.  We are senior citizens and the professionalism and courtesy afforded to us by this young man is a credit to Gartner.

Our reply

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Twardowski,

Your repeat business here at Gartner Hyundai and with Mike Budzinski is very much appreciated.  From both Mike and Myself, we thank you for your loyalty.  Congratulations on your new Veracruz.

Sincerely,

Superb - Outstanding - Extremely Efficient Customer Service at Gartner Hyundai Says This Mount Prospect Customer

by Karen L. McQuillen (Mount Prospect, IL) on March 14, 2011
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

Enter your review here

We came in at 8 PM which I know must be irritating when you close at 9pm. We were welcomed immediately and treated with great Customer Service by Mike Budzinski. We bought a car and were out the door by 9:30 pm. I consider the service we received nothing short of superb, outstanding, and extremely efficient.

I received a thank you follow up call and feel I should be doing the thank you follow up call. I have never received such wonderful, warm friendly service while purchasing a car.

Thanks Mike

Regards,

Karen McQuillen

Hi Karen,

Thank you for making the drive from Mount Prospect to Gartner Hyundai!  Sounds like the trip was worth the time.  Thank you for such a kindly worded review.

Chicago Customer Very Happy With Mike, Scott, and the Entire Team at Gartner Saab

by robert sackett (Chicago, IL) on February 20, 2011
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

I bought a 2005 Saab 9-3 ARC convertible from Gartner, and I truly enjoyed the buying experience. Mike was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and took care of my buying needs. He took the time to determine the best car for my needs based on my interest and budget. He explained the car in detail and made sure I was happy with my purchase.

I was also extemely happy with the Finance Manager Scott Lupo. Even though I had prearranged my financing, he took the time to explain all the paperwork in detail and went out of his way to find the best extended warranty. He even went as far as calling me on his day off to find a better warranty for my vehicle.

Mike arranged to have my vehicle completely detailed inside and out. I consider this going above and beyond. I would recommend to anyone looking to buy a new/used car to come to Garter and work with Mike, Scott and the entire team. I look forward to driving my new vehicle and appreciate the time, attention and detail that was displayed by Mike and Scott.

Our reply

Dear Robert,

Congratulations on your Saab Convertible!  Hopefully, warmer weather is just around the corner so you can take a ride with the top down. Thank you once again for choosing Gartner Saab!  I will be sure to compliment Mike and Scott on a job well done.

Sincerely,

Roland Gartner

Mike Budzinski at Gartner Hyundai Receives 10 out of 5 Stars from Sandie!

by Sandie Hearne (Saint Charles, IL) on November 9, 2010
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

It started out with an email I sent the dealership requesting more information and pricing on a new 2011 Tucson.  Mike replied to my email and gave me a call to make sure he understood what options and packages were important to me.

He was timely with his responses and never put any pressure on me to make a decision.

I feel I was presented with a good price and one that no one else could beat.  He's the BEST car buying experience I've EVER had.  He's great and I would recommend him to anyone.  I give him a "10".

Romeoville Customer who Let Gartner Hyundai Know We Can Improve

by Paul R Hammelman (Romeoville, IL) on July 29, 2010
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski
Department: Sales

Enter your review here

My how car buying has changed. My last new car was in 2003. Then it was a lot of going back & forth on the price. Now, its like shopping at Car Max. Not much movement. Oh well, I was pleased with purchase we made of a 2009 Sonata with low miles. Mike was a pleasant sales person to work with. Took for a test drive and made the deal.  

 Then the smiles turned to frowns after my wife drove the car home. Steering wheel shake when braking. Turned out that rotors needed to be resurfaced. XM radio not turned on.

There were some communication problems encountered which I trust will improve with my next visits, as I intend to purchase a second vehicle in the future and want to stay with your dealership

Paul & Andi Hammelman 

 

Our reply

Dear Paul and Andi,

Jenny actually spoke to me about your situation after your car purchase.  First of all, thank you for the business, and secondly, thank you for being honest, and rather than becoming truly upset, giving us the opportunity to correct the problems.

I do apologize for the slight breakdown in communication.  Again, as Jenny mentioned, please stop in at anytime for your free detail on your car, as this is our way of saying "sorry for everything not going perfectly".

I'm hoping that after we resurfaced the rotors, and got the XM working, all is fine and well.  If not, please call either Mike or Jenny, and they will be sure to help once again.

When you are ready for that second car purchase, I assure you, we will do everything possible to make the second time 1000% better than the first.  Thank you for your honest review. 

Regards,

Roland Gartner

PERFECT EXPERIENCE AT GARTNER HYUNDAI IN NAPERVILLE

by Kathy Pepiot (Naperville, IL) on January 14, 2010
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski

I am very pleased to have this opportunity to acknowledge what a perfect experience we have had at Gartner Hyundai! I acutally dread the whole car buying process, but this experience has truly changed my attitude.  The deal process was quick and very fair upfront.  Our salesperson - Mike Budzinski - went above and beyond with accomodating us and communicating with us.  We needed to take our car back for installation of an automatic starter.  Mike even handled this aspect of our purchase, when I think that a lot of dealerships would just have the service department handle it.  The fact that our sales person developed a rapport with us and showed some follow through with our purchase - was very impressive.  I would definitely recommend Gartner Hyundai to friends and definitely tell them to see Mike!  Thank you for making our car buying experience so pleasant!

Our reply

Dear Kathy,

Thank you for such a wonderful review.  I am so happy to hear that you had, as you said, "A Perfect Buying Experience"!  Yes, I  know that car buying can be very stressful and frustrating at times, so to hear how happy you are, and that you will recommend Gartner Hyundai, are two of the compliments my dealership and staff can receive! 

Mike has been with the dealership for over 12 years now, and he truly is an asset!  Thank you again for giving credit where credit is due! 

As Mike has already shown you, our service doesn't stop with the sale, it actually begins.  We hope to see you here for service, and if at any time you ever have a problem, please contact Mike or one of my Manangement Staff, and we will be more than happy to help.

Sincerely,

Happy Hyundai Elantra Customer at Gartner Hyundai

by Chad M (Naperville, IL) on November 12, 2009
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski

I just bought my 2010 Hyundai Elantra Blue and couldn't be happier with the whole process. This was the second Hyundai I have purchased from Gartner over the past 10 years and it was even from the same sales guy. Mike Budzinski was my sales person 9 years ago when I bought my first elantra and I was happy with the experience then and it was equally enjoyable this time around. He is very knowlegable and up front with all aspects of the negotiation. I basically gave Mike the best price from my online quote request and they beat it. I highly recommend Gartner to my friends. Easy, hassle free, and about as enjoyable as buying a depreciating


HAPPY CUSTOMER FROM NORTH AURORA

by Laura Schindel (North Aurora, IL) on November 10, 2009
Salesperson: Mike Budzinski

This is the first time I have purchased a new vehicle and I was not quite sure how the process went.  It was a bit overwhelming but Mike was very helpful and patient and answered all of my questions with professionalism. 

I chose Gartner because both of my parents and sister have purchased cars from there and have been very satisified with both the service and the vehicles.  I knew I would be treated fairly and get a great car at the same time. 

I love my Tucson and would definitely go back to Gartner when I am in need of another vehicle.  Thank you to everyone who helped me through this process!!!!!   I appreciate it. 

Laura Schindel

Our reply

Dear Laura,

Thank you very much for your business, and please pass my thanks to your parents and sister, as well!  I am so happy to hear that you love your Tucson!

Mike has been with my company for 12 years now, so you can rest assured that if you need anything in the future, he will be here to help in any way that he can.

Thank you for making the drive to Gartner from North Aurora!
