Well unfortunately I fell victim to the fast paced used car debacle. Unfortunately for Carson Servicenter it could have been a great experience. The guys are friendly enough (they are salesmen) but they are just after a quick deal. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, and I still got screwed (partly my own fault). Before I bought the truck it had a vibration, I had a good hunch it was due to the drivetrain (driveline or rear-end). They assured me it would be fixed before I took the truck home. Well, of course, it wasn't. Here is where I screwed myself. When I drove it home, the vibration was still there. I SHOULD have turned around and dropped it back off. Unfortunately I needed the truck and was also caught up in that "I bought something new" feeling. Next, The trucks service engine light ended up coming on the same day on the way to dinner. No problem, no power loss, no issues to raise a red flag in terms of noise or performance. I ran some tests and the engine checked out fine. My theory was the ECU had been flashed (chipped without a chip) for better performance. I asked about this and the guys would walk around the question (apparently it is not lawful to sell a vehicle with a modified/chipped ECU?). I can understand them not wanting to get in trouble, and tbh I didn't care if it was chipped, I just wanted to know so I could forget about the stupid SEC light. The truck had a whopping 15 day warranty. Being a full time employee of a very busy company coupled with performing tests, that flies by. I was able to get it in on the 13th day to have them tell me why the light was on (being confident it was "chipped"). After a few days they made the determination...that is was chipped. All the tests checked out. Sadly, I made the mistake of NOT bringing up the vibration while having the engine checked out (something they should have taken care of on day 1). I noticed there was a real problem with the drive train after I hooked up my travel trailer and put a heavier load on the truck. It was clear the slip yoke on the driveline was shot and the differential was grabbing. I contacted the guys to let them know what was up, but received no response. After I made it home safely, I contacted them again. No response. I removed the diff cover to inspect the gears, LS, etc and noticed that the pinion gear appeared to be rubbing on the carrier (NOT GOOD). Sent a picture, no response. I wanted to give them time to remedy the issue, seeing as how I paid a fortune for a used truck (COVID demand). Sadly, as is typical for a used car dealer, they don't give a turd about you after the warranty period is over. I know this is PARTLY my fault, but used car dealers are held to an inspection requirement to sell used vehicles, to prevent people getting screwed. One of the inspections required is to determine if the drivetrain is damaged - identifying by unusual vibrations, etc. Well, I TOLD them of the vibration, they TOLD me they would fix it, and they did not. So, it seems they lied to me, and subsequently lied on the legal document suggesting there was no problem. I have to decide whether it is worth my time to make a legal case out of this, or fork out the 1,000 dollars it will cost to fix this issue (DIY btw). In short, if you buy from these guys, drive that car like hell within the first 14 days to try and break it, that way you can get everything fixed on the 15th day.

Her sales tactics wasn't no pressure at all, her thorough knowledge of the Palisade, of the use and operation of the vehicle is very well mentioned and educational for the both of us. She has the most upbeat, enthusiastic and positive attitude of a Sales representative. We informed her, we are both very lucky to get you today. Sure enough, we purchased the vehicle. The whole Hyundai staff are all a professional group that i am very pleased that they exceeded our wants and needs. A special "Thank you" to the staff, employees and Val for there integrity and professionalism they all displayed during our purchase of a 2026 Hyundai Palisade. Great job Team Hyundai.

The service manager is the son of the owner and he certainly acts like it. They've been feeding us a story that the process is out of their control but when I called the repair service center that now has our vehicle (after sitting for 6 weeks at the Hyundai service shop) they advised that they are waiting on Carson City Hyundai to provide information on their repair attempt before they can proceed with the transmission replacement. Again, they've had this vehicle for two months! This business has caused an incredible hardship on my family. They are deceptive, providing half truths, dragging their feet on the repair, then speaking to us in a condescending manner and gaslighting us. I really don't write many negative reviews, but this has been the most insane experience of our lives and I certainly hope that this review helps just one person avoid being put through what we've been put through over the last two months.

In all honesty, I would highly recommend working with Cory Peterson. Cory exudes professionalism and a genuine customers-come-first attitude. I can recommend him with complete confidence, knowing he acts with integrity--something he clearly understands is the backbone of any successful business. He focuses on building trust and creating positive experiences for his customers, which, in my opinion, is the best sales approach there is. I will absolutely be returning and continuing to recommend others. Thank you, Cory, for turning a scary car-buying experience into something I no longer fear.
