Look at the other reviews and you will see that they are all the same.

They didn't try and oversell us anything and even helped us set up test equipment to make sure we got exactly what we needed.

There are a ton of auto parts stores in Lawrence, and I've done business with several of them over the years.

Ive heard great things about Slimmers but all I can say is that I left incredibly disappointed…read more I brought my car in to see about getting the AC fixed, they told me I needed a new radiator and AC unit so I listened and paid 2k to fix it. When I got it back I was super happy because it took about 3 weeks and I needed it back. But immediately after I noticed a lot of HUGE issues, car wouldn't accelerate, wouldn't turn off, wouldn't lock or go into park. I had to get it towed in, and they said they'd take a look at it. The receptionist woman was very unfriendly on the phone and in person, which was shocking because most of their other staff seem very polite. When they had it they said they'd fix it in the next week and it took them about 3 more weeks to get it back to me. Then finally I get it back for the second time, and my door dont open from the outside. I emailed them and told them about this issue and I was not rude or anything but I felt like the email I received back was very unfriendly. When I told them about this they told me not to take it to them if I cant trust them with my vehicle, which seems redundant since they are the reason I dont trust them, when I obviously trusted them enough to bring it there and to give them the opportunity to fix whatever mistake was made. I am a young woman and honestly felt a little taken advantage of and or not taken seriously whatsoever. I also received a couple voicemails saying essentially they didn't know what they were doing and they'd never worked on this type of car before (Hyundai Sonata), so Im not sure what "trust" they expect when they treat their costumers like this. They seem to lack a lot of basic costumer service skills and knowledge. They deal with a huge part of peoples lives (their vehicle) and people are bound to be frustrated when stuff is wrong with their car, so if they dont know how to deal with that they just shouldn't.

My daughter has had ongoing issues with her Hyundai Sonata, including being tested for excessive…read moreoil consumption at the Gladstone Hyundai location. At the end of her winter break, we noticed oil leaking, so to make it easier on all of us, we suggested she go to the Lawrence location, as she is going to school at KU. She took her car to the service department and was given a long list of things which needed to be repaired, some of which were oil gasket covers and spark plugs. She called my husband to call in to the service department to discuss which items would need to be fixed, none of which were shown to her or explained, but since we were out of town, we proceeded with a couple of repairs. That bill was approximately $1,000. A week after she had her car repaired, she came home, and we noticed there was still oil leaking, so we made another appointment for March 31st at 8:30 am. I drove the car from Kansas City to Lawrence and met with the service department rep. My daughter picked me up in another vehicle, and I left the facility. At approximately 12:30, I went back to check on the status of the car, and no one had taken a look at it, despite my appointment being at 8:30, and they knew I was staying in town to see what was wrong with it. I left again at that point, and about 20 minutes later, I received a call from the service department asking me to come back, so I left what I was doing to go back. At that point, he gave me a list of repairs that needed to be done totaling $3,300+, and one of them being the replacement of the oil pan, as it was cracked. I asked him questions about this and asked if this could have been what was wrong in the first place. He said he had no idea. Then I looked back at the documentation from the first time my daughter brought in the car, and it stated, "Customer says Oil Gaskets are Leaking." I can assure you no one in my family would have said that or known that would even be an issue. So I paid another bill of $190 to have someone "diagnose" the car, and I left without paying for any of the suggested repairs, as I feel as though I had been lied to and was not pleased with having to wait five hours past my appointment to have someone look at my car for the first time. I brought the car back to Kansas City and took it to our local mechanic. He did replace the oil pan, and I would bet that was why it was leaking in the first place. There is no documentation that anything was wrong with the gasket covers. No video or pictures, to my knowledge. He also informed me, when I asked about the other items on the list of suggested repairs, that we were being scammed.

Absolute worst experience of any car buying experience we've ever had and we've owned well over 20…read morecars in our lifetime. We recently purchased a 2021 Ford Explorer Limited from Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence and a 2024 GMC Sierra AT4 from a competing dealer in the area and this experience wasn't even close to the latter. The salesman was great during the sale and we negotiated on a list of 'we owe you' where Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence was going to complete repairs on sensors and a cracked windshield as part of the deal. We thought great - we can just bring it back in and it would maybe be a week at max but that didn't happen. We were told the repairs should only take a couple of days when it was dropped off. However, we went back and forth with the dealership over repairs and found out it was sent to the Laird Noller Ford of Lawrence dealership for repairs to the sensors without notifying us. This was also a surprise to the service manager at the Laird Noller Ford of Lawrence dealership that Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence was unable to fix the issues and no communication had been established from Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence to their department. Other issues we faced were in obtaining the title and registering in a timely manner. It took us a month to hunt down the title and finally the Laird Noller Ford of Topeka dealership was able to obtain it and get it to us. We received notices from the State of Kansas that we failed to register in 60 days and our bank threatened defaulting our loan because it was impossible for us to get the vehicle inspected and tagged while it was at the dealership. After two months we finally got our vehicle back but its bittersweet because there was no apology from the dealership for the delays or how they handled the repairs. Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence also left the vehicle completely filthy with bird feces down the side of it. (see pictures) I'm a firm believer in leaving something better than you found it. Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence certainly returned our vehicle worst off than how they received it and the small attention to details on how they returned a car, to a paying customer, says a lot about how they conduct their customer service and relationship with customers long term. If Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence is a representation of Laird Noller as a dealership I would highly recommend folks to look for a different dealership to do business to save yourself a lot of the headaches we experienced. Helping or showing any compassion to the customer is long gone once you sign on the dotted line. Customer service should be paramount and constant communication with the customer should be at the top of every service manager's list. I would say from our experience the optics are Laird Noller Hyundai Genesis of Lawrence and Laird Noller Ford of Lawrence are only interested in the sale and not building upon a long lasting customer relationship. This whole experience will certainly cause us to pause from buying another vehicle from Laird Noller in the future and to shop around for a dealership that puts the customer first.
