When you buy a brand-new car, you expect peace of mind--not a months-long headache. Unfortunately,…read moremy experience has been the complete opposite. Today marks day 52 without my new car. I only had it for 26 days before bringing it to Gary Rome Hyundai for what I believed would be a quick repair. Instead, it has become an ongoing ordeal. I'm still making monthly payments on a vehicle I can't even drive. And while I do have a loaner, this situation is absolutely unacceptable--especially for a brand-new car. The vehicle developed a loud noise from the front driver's side, and despite three repair attempts, the issue still isn't resolved. I've gone to pick up the car after being told it was "ready," only to hear the same noise as soon as I pulled off the lot. At one point, I was even told they didn't know what the problem was and that an engineer would need to inspect it--yet still, no answers. I provided both Hyundai and the dealership with a formal final opportunity to repair the defect, and that deadline has passed with no fix. With no meaningful progress, I've now initiated Massachusetts Lemon Law arbitration, because no new vehicle should sit in service for nearly two months without a resolution. I am extremely disappointed in my experience with Gary Rome Hyundai and Hyundai. The buying process was smooth, but the service experience has been the complete opposite--frustrating, stressful, and far below reasonable expectations. I'm sharing this so others are aware of what they may encounter. Hyundai needs to do better. #Lemon #GaryRomeHyundai #Hyundai #MassachusettsLemonLaw #ConsumerRights #CustomerExperience #AutoIndustry #HyundaiTucson #CarProblems #DoBetter #CustomerService #BrandAccountability #NewCarIssues #Automotive

I want to share my personal experience working at Gary Rome Hyundai, because what's posted publicly…read moredoesn't reflect what I lived day to day. Earlier this year, I publicly praised Gary Rome Hyundai on both Google and Facebook reviews. I meant it. The shop was clean, organized, and professional. I loved the work environment, my coworkers, my customers, and my bay. I truly wanted to stay there long-term. During my time there, I watched four technicians quit over pay issues. I didn't want to be another one. I stayed and begged for compromise because I believed in the place and wanted to build a career there. I was a flat-rate technician making $28/hour. On paper that sounds generous, but I was not given enough work to consistently make 40 hours a week. I was regularly assigned engines, transmissions, and diagnostic work -- engines paying around 6 hours, transmissions around 3.2 hours -- while other techs were able to turn steady hours. Over time, my pay dropped from roughly 80 hours per pay period to about 40 hours in an 80-hour period, three pay periods in a row. Over time, I also noticed a clear pattern of favoritism in work distribution. The dispatcher, Giovanni, has several family members working throughout the dealership -- including in parts, on the lot, and in the shop. A portion of the shop was consistently prioritized and fed high-paying "gravy" work, while others were routinely given the jobs that did not pay. This directly affected my ability to earn a living and made the pay disparity impossible to overcome. When Ryan was the service manager, he made sure I was paid fairly if I did whatever work was asked of me, and I always did -- without complaint. That changed suddenly. Beyond my regular duties, I brought the entire Chester Blandford Police Department over as a commercial account so all of their vehicles would be serviced exclusively at Gary Rome Hyundai. I tried to contribute wherever I could and add value to the business. When the finances stopped working, I put in my two weeks. Management refused to accept it and instead allowed me to work one day a week for several more weeks so I could survive while working another job. I was asked what it would take for me to stay. I was offered $20/hour. I explained I needed $24/hour just to scrape by. That was refused -- and shortly after, I was let go. I had zero disciplinary actions, verbal or written, my entire time there. Later, when a new service manager came in, my coworker Bob put in his notice the same day. He was offered $34/hour (hourly, not flat rate) to stay. I was never given that opportunity. The new service manager acknowledged this directly to me and took my information, but I was never contacted again. Giovanni made it clear I would not be allowed back. I paid roughly $360 every two weeks to tool vendors just to do my job. There was no 401k match -- we were told the company didn't match because break room supplies were provided instead. I was the sole provider for six people. I didn't ask for special treatment. I asked for a livable wage so I could continue doing a job I loved, at a company I wanted to work for my whole career. Seeing posts about how employees are taken care of is painful, because that wasn't my reality. I gave a lot to this place because I believed in it -- and in the end, it wasn't enough to keep my family afloat. I loved this company. That's why this hurts. I'm heartbroken and tired of watching a version of the story that doesn't include experiences like mine.

I purchased a 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands from Marcotte Ford and was sold a $1,600 Preventative…read moreMaintenance Warranty by Bill Mackey, the person who completed my transaction. The way this plan was explained to me during the sale was misleading and not what I expected. Bill told me the warranty would cover routine maintenance like oil changes, wiper replacements, brake pads, and one rotor resurfacing. He said to tell him how many oil changes I would need per year based on mileage, and that would determine my coverage. He also said I could visit any dealership for those services under the plan. After my third service visit, I finally asked for details on what the warranty actually covers. I was surprised. The service advisor laughed when I asked about rotor resurfacing, saying that rotors are almost always replaced, not resurfaced. They showed me that the plan only covers oil changes and cabin air filters, and my coverage ends at 61,000 miles, which is what I purchased. According to the Ford preventative maintenance schedule I was shown, none of the other services I was told about would be needed during the coverage period. I paid $1,600 for a plan that only covers a few basic services and is not worth the cost. Future customers should make sure they fully understand what they are purchasing before agreeing to this type of warranty.

THE BEST car buying experience…read more I had only bought from a big dealer or CarMax prior to this car buying experience, but decided to trust my many friends that have bought cars from the Auto Sales Center and give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! Ira asked what I was looking for and obviously listened because he found exactly what I wanted at the exactly the right price point. He was very transparent about the deal, charged NO FEES, and spent time going over the car with me before I left the lot. The cherry on top? He took a picture of the vehicle in the showroom with a bow on top and then sent a beautiful card thanking us for buying from him with a picture of the car inside. What a wonderful, personalized encounter. I will never buy anywhere else! Thank you Ira, Chris, and Mary for such a wonderful experience!

Do not buy a vehicle from Alex! Initially he's great until he gets your check..then he "ghosts"…read moreyou. Any issues that arise during your warranty period he will skirt around and order off brand parts from Amazon. Creating delays in repairs. Including pre sale things that needed to be replaced. We had our mechanic check it out. Alex was difficult to deal with while fixing things. He refused to replace a cooling line for the transmission he permitted a repair only. Well, the line blew. Causing damage to the radiator and transmission. Costing us $4,000.00 before the second car loan payment was even made. In a 9 week period of purchasing the vehicle. 7 weeks it was in repair and undrivable. Alex...no where to be seen. He offered to refund $ towards the tow and the radiator repair, but again "ghosted" He replaced the ac compressor, but would not pay for the Freon charge. That was during the warranty period. He gave us 1 fob and 1 key. The fob buttons were so worn out they didn't work. I purchased 2 new fobs and 2 key. Even something that simple he wouldn't do. Alex fits the typical sleazy car salesman. He has no integrity or moral compass. Odd for a man who claims to attend church almost daily. Do not buy any thing from him or anyone that works for this company
