Very frustrating experience with Big Star Hyundai…read more Over the weekend, Arin Roberson, the floor manager, said they had two IONIQ 5 Limiteds available. At 10:00 AM the next morning, I let them know I was ready to buy that day if they would send me an out-the-door quote and emphasized I was in a hurry because a 10K manufacturer's incentive ended the next day and I had to drive 3 hours the next day to their dealership. I heard nothing back, followed up around 2:00 PM, was told something would be sent in a couple of minutes, followed up again after 3:00 PM, and received an all-caps response saying, "PUTTING SOMETHING TOGETHER RN." Shortly after that, they sent a quote for a Hyundai Tucson instead of the IONIQ 5 Limited I had been asking about the entire time. I then complained about the wasted time and got a quick response saying, "okay let me look into it," but then heard nothing further. What made this worse is that when my wife separately inquired and was even allowed to move toward placing a $1,000 deposit, the vehicle was later said to be sold after she repeatedly asked not to be bait-and-switched given that we had to drive three-hours to get there. Based on the conflicting responses we received, this raised serious concern about whether the vehicle was actually available when it was first represented to us. Very poor communication, poor follow-through, and not the way a serious dealership should handle ready-to-buy customers.

I really wish I would've read these reviews before making my purchase with Fertitta Chevrolet…read more I purchased 3 trucks from Norman Frede since 2010, always had nothing but kind words to say about them and recommended many people to go there. Even after I moved an hour away, I only went to them for simple oil changes, inspections, etc.. I was a loyal customer. Out of the blue one day Fertitta calls saying they can get me in a newer vehicle for the same or lower payments. Instead of doing my homework on the new name, I dove straight in thinking I could still trust their word as I had with Norman Frede. They let me test drive a new truck and told me I'd be able to have the same payments as my current vehicle.. so I said why not. Well a few weeks down the road when I set up my account it was not in fact the same payment. Then when I spoke to Tonia she was talking to me like I was stupid with her "Oh honey" and laughing. They bamboozled me 100%. And icing on the cake, when I went to get my plates, the girl behind the desk just handed them to me. First time I've ever purchased a vehicle and not had them put the plates on. You would think after my years of loyalty there would be someone who cared enough to make it right. I've spoken to a few dealerships about my situation and they all told me I was screwed over bad. So if you were a long time Norman Frede buyer, save your time and money and look elsewhere first. The messed up part is I wasn't even looking. They called me.

If you are even *thinking* about purchasing or leasing a Genesis, do yourself a favor and make your…read morefirst--and only--stop Demontrond Genesis of Clearlake. I say that with complete confidence after what turned into a long day visiting multiple dealerships, and I can honestly say this was the **best car-buying experience I've ever had**. For context, I am not new to purchasing vehicles. I do my research, I know what I want, and I came prepared. I had already identified the exact vehicle from online inventory and was ready to buy that same day--the last day of the month, no less. My day started at Southwest Genesis, and unfortunately, it went downhill quickly. Instead of listening to what I asked for--a GV70 well under $60K--I was left waiting, only for the salesperson to pull up in a freshly washed GV80 priced around $76K. It was clear they were more interested in upselling me than respecting my request. When I insisted on the GV70, I repeatedly encountered "mistakes" on worksheets--sales price, trade-in value, numbers that somehow always worked in their favor. The final straw? I was told the online price I had *just* seen (and had proof of) was suddenly $4,000 higher. The explanation provided by Manager Crystal Kanu involving pricing adjustments didn't align with what I had in front of me, and no effort was made to make it right. It felt like a constant attempt to slip things past me rather than earn my business. Hoping for a better experience, I headed to Genesis of West Houston--and unfortunately, things didn't improve. Before even confirming whether they had a vehicle I was interested in, the conversation immediately turned to my finances, monthly payment expectations, and personal details. That's backwards. I wasn't about to discuss numbers on a car I hadn't even seen. Frustrated, I left. At that point, I debated calling it a day--but I'm incredibly glad I didn't. I called Demontrond Genesis of Clearlake, and that's when everything changed. Michelle Guerrero answered the phone, and from the very first moment, she did something no one else had done all day--**she listened**. I'll admit, by then I was beyond frustrated, but Michelle remained calm, professional, and reassuring. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and even began preparing options before I arrived. From the moment I got there, the experience was completely different. The team was welcoming, organized, and--most importantly--transparent. There was no pressure, no games, no "mistakes." Everything was clearly laid out on paper without me having to ask. The entire process felt collaborative, not adversarial. Michelle is exceptional. She is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure you are comfortable and informed. She took the time to walk through every feature of the vehicle and made sure I felt confident in my decision. Even after the purchase, she has followed up multiple times over the past couple of weeks--something that speaks volumes about her commitment to her customers. The finance team was equally impressive--professional, straightforward, and never pushy. Every step of the process reinforced that this dealership understands something the others clearly do not: **this is a people business, not just a car business**. Looking back, I can honestly say I'm grateful things didn't work out at the other dealerships because it led me to Michelle and her team. I will go out of my way to recommend Demontrond Genesis of Clearlake to anyone in the market for a vehicle. They have earned my trust, my business, and my referrals for years to come. If you value professionalism, transparency, and truly top-tier customer service--go to Clearlake. Avoid the frustration elsewhere and start where you'll be treated right the first time.

I recently purchased a vehicle from this dealership over the July 4 weekend. Normally I do not give…read morea five star ratings to business as it usually requires them to go above and beyond what One would expect. This was actually the case with Clear Lake Autoworld. It's a little things To begin the inventory that they have on the website is the actual inventory that they have on site at the location. Do you know that I did advanced research to determine the exact vehicle that I wanted by range of year's mileage price I knew exactly what I can get and what I should expect. So my review it's pretty comprehensive as it covers everything from the website being easy to navigate, responsiveness of the dealership from when initially contacted, actual information on the website as far as phone number and physical address, and the courtesy provided by the staff there at the dealership. What I found at this dealership is at what they say on the website as what they have. There were some big name brand dealerships that would put bait vehicles on the website and when I called they were so conveniently have just so that vehicle, but then the next day or two that exact vehicle will be back up on their website again You also have the issue of either private sellers or dealers not posting on the website that the title on the vehicle was either salvage or that the mileage was incorrect (off by 30k to 40k miles) of what they posted on the website. All of it just gimmicks to get someone in the door and on the ground so that they can try to sell you something that you don't want. Additionally, you have all these dealerships that do not accept cash offers. Other dealerships wanna try to scam you into the financing to where they make money off you more there than actually selling you the vehicle for cash. Not so at Clear Lake Autoworld, they do have financing available but had no problem excepting the cash offer. As far as pricing goes the price I alternately paid was a fair price. Kelley blue book provides a range of what you should expect to pay for a vehicle and though it wasn't on the lowest Clear Lake Autoworld was not on the high end either. They were right in the middle with spare pricing on the vehicle. The other issue I found very positive is the vehicles being sold at Clear Lake Autoworld are in great condition. I can't tell you how many vehicles I went to go see that had great pictures but when I got there the dealerships or the sellers had laid some cut out carpet over the actual carpet upholstery of the vehicle so that the picture was nice. But of course when you picked up that overlay carpet The vehicles actual carpet was all tore up or the interior just must not in good condition. Just like a selfie Dealers no it's all about the angle. But not so at Clear Lake Autoworld what you saw in the pictures was what you saw when you arrived. They also went above and beyond and made sure that when I was going to pick up my vehicle they did one last check mechanically of the vehicle, insured no engine lights were on I would come on, or wherever even there, plus they did a oil change and filter change and they also ensure that they were new floor mats included. This is a little above and beyond that I'm talking about. As you know when you buy a used vehicle you're expecting to buy a new floor mats anyway. But Clear Lake Autoworld did that for me as a little extra. Not saying that's what I do for everyone but that is my experience with them. As far as dealing with the staff there Shane and Linda were great. Very down to earth people, telling you what they have and doing their best for you. Appreciate their honesty, straightforwardness, and just willingness to be helpful And making the car buying experience as pleasant as possible. So I will definitely when I start looking for a new used vehicle whenever that is next Clear Lake Autoworld will definitely be the first place I stopped to see and check their inventory. Never know what kind of germs you can find there is what I'm thinking.

I've taken it back three times for the same three issues and they can't fix anything, but give me a different story every time. They left trash in the car, and told me they inspected it to only find out later they never even looked at the car. I would strongly encourage folks to go somewhere else. Buying and servicing a car from here is a mistake. I wanted to do it becuase it was local, but I'd would gladly make the drive to Houston next time. It's sad since Range Rover is supposed to be a luxury car, but this dealership brings down the name.
