Initially visited the dealership just to take a look at the Santa Fe and ended up taking one home. Dealt with Chris W who was pleasant, professional and took the time to understand our situation and needs. Chris went the extra mile to get us into the car we wanted with a payment that worked for us. From my experiences so far, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris, the dealership or the vehicle. read more

2 long visits and hundreds of dollars later, and my Hyundai is still not repaired even though the "work is guaranteed." BS!!! All talk and no action. The service people are confused- I got multiple calls saying my vehicle was repaired, but they got the name and vehicle wrong. The business counter tried to tell me I hadn't paid even though I showed them the online payment. The service manager blew a lot of smoke, but again, the car is not repaired. Stay away from this place. read more

I traded in a car here and I've definitely not been disappointed. Starting with trading in for the new one to the paperwork to servicing the car. They took care of every issue I've found (which were minor and quickly resolved at no cost to me). They do oil changes and wash your car after which is nice. Especially since they have a shuttle. Everyone working at this location and the collision center are very nice and definitely treated me well every time I've been out. read more

I thought I had a 10:45 appt. They told me that was a check in time. 2 hours later my vehicle has not even been looked at. Will not be back.

Went shopping for a car yesterday and dealt with Daby in sales, she is AMAZING! She let me take a car home multiple times for my husband to look at and the next day was kind enough to wash two vehicles and set them side by side so he could make a decision on a color. She bent over backwards for us and it's so very much appreciated. Mario in finance was a pleasure to work with as well! Very easy to have a wonderful conversation with during the entire paperwork signing process. We were very impressed with everyone we dealt with. read more

Stew Hansen Hyundai - Thanks for helping us find the one Daby! - Car Dealers Near Me - Clive, Iowa

Service advisors will tell you one thing and find out later that what you were told isn't true. Not to mention that labor is $200/hr. Dealership is nothing but swindlers. If I could give less than 1 star I would. read more

I purchased a Tucson 2025 vehicle. I received the car with no mats and no garage door opener. I am 80 and have never owned a car that did not have one and it was never something I had to request. If I had known this I would have purchased a different model. This is a critical item especially in Iowa. Your salespeople should make this clear to potential buyers. Very disappointing! read more

I bought a brand-new 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid in March, and it's been in the shop for the same issue off and on for over 9 weeks. I've made 70+ calls/emails to Hyundai customer care, was told my buyback was approved in August, yet my case manager won't respond. The dealership refuses to work with customer care to help me, leaving me stuck in a rental with no answers. Extremely frustrating experience. read more

Trust me the service team is a bunch of punks and losers. Just failures sitting in a room wishing they weren't there as their hair turns gray knowing they are just passing out B.S. to anybody who walks in. One guy was good, and he gave me a piece of paper that if I looked at thoroughly would have told me that a few years later would make my car absolutely worthless. They can't tell you how horrible their services are with a straight face. They can only hint that they are awful evil people. All of them doesn't matter which one of them in that office helps you they can only do one thing. Say hi, ask for your info and an hour later walk you to the payment counter where two fat miserably freaks sit there to not be able to look you in the eye as they take your money. Twice I took my car there to get an oil change. You're going to wait forever no matter how many people are there. I am certain that they dont change the oil filter or rotate the tires like the advantage plan says they should. Absolutely certain that they just send your car to the wash if it isn't broken. Then they aren't even coordinated enough to tell the service losers that the car is finished. You'll see your car in the front finished for about 20 minutes before the NPC gets off their youtube video to hand your keys and finish the rest of their NPC task. Twice they've tried to upsell me on other services to get checked has the cars get higher mileage. I even said yes twice and both times they said...ohhh they didn't have enough time. We will get you a discount. I guarantee there isnt a single note on anybodies file. They just get angry when you walk in the office cause then they have to quick alt+tab their youtube shorts to a screen that makes them look like they aren't a bunch of jerks. God I'd hate being in a room full of people with no soul, when you go in and they are debating on which one will actually have to address you watch them talk to each other about their mediocre b.s. They aren't human, but they've lied to themselves so much that they really think they have blood in their veins. As sooon as you have a problem that isn't an oil change. Get readddddyyyyyy to getttttttt **************. Thats when they hand you their card and tell you everything is going to be good. All the possibilites. Its under warranty. We'll pay for the tow and the diagnostic and get you a new engine. We just have to wait 2 days for it to get looked at. Everyone knows that when somebody calls at 8AM sharp its cause the work was done previously. Just to say ohhh, welll looks like our mechanic thinks it'll pass the test, so you aren't eligible for the one thing that piece of paper totally says any car that has a knock sensor issue that a class action law suit was filed for under 10 years or 150,000 gets everything free. Sooo you dont get it, but we'd love to remind you that you still owe $238, and for another $238 our worthless mechanics can totally look at it for a whole other hour to tell you nothing new. By this point you're on tiktok and youtube yourself saying omg how did i not see this issue was screwing over hyundai customers for the past 15 years???? 100's of videos screaming do not buy Hyundai do not buy Kia. You wont see them till you're financially ruined. So you get a lemon well wont they trade it in for something, or can you sell it to them??? NOOOOOOOO "We hear your car might need a new engine "speculation" we aren't intersted in buying it or a trade. Sorry for the less than good news." In a friggin text message. They dont even have the back bone to tell it to your face. What a bunch of crooked evil bastards with no spine. I took the car to CARMAX where they had the decency to atleats pay $4k for the hunk of junk. Not one of those cars is worth more than $1000. You'll still find hyundais all over town selling like hot cakes for 10k+. Dear god please dont buy this crap. Trust me even if you see 10,0000 comments of bots saying "i've had mine for 3 days and i love it!" please ignore these ignorant people. Everybody in there worships the devil and they all wear upside down cross necklaces. It's a cult of scam artists. I hope that facility gets swept away in an earthquake and a tornado. While all of them are locked inside. Swishing in a swirling vortex of broken engines and transmissions that wont last 10 years or even 60K-120K miles. If you are an idiot though buy the car and sell it back to them within 2 years. You cannot get more than 2 years or 24k miles of usability out of anything thats on that lot. You have been warned. F.U. Ben and Colleen. and that other fat guy in the first row you're a loser too and the definition of pompous. read more

Bought vehicles from all the major players in the metro, Stews, Bob Brown, Willis, Toyota of DM, even a couple POS vehicles from the East Side. The one thing every other company has that this one doesn't...honest communication, and the integrity to do what they say. Stew Hansen Hyundai has disappointed on every turn. Have been trying to get this Oil consumption test done under warranty since October 2025. Their service team has refused to answer any calls, schedule follow up appointments for 4months...Now their service manager that I was talking to, I was just informed, is no longer there, as of yesterday. I asked about the other peon, Ben, that started this, and he still has his job, but he still refuses to respond to any voicemails, messages, or just simply do his job. I contacted Hyundai Corporate customer support, they said I have to get the oil consumption test done by a certified dealer, well guess what, the closest one to us...Waterloo. Not only has this happened to us, but if you look on other reviews, this seems to be a pattern. How many customers of Stew Hansen Huyndai have experienced this, and is worth a CAL? read more

Construction has been going on for over 3 years with no end in sight. After upgrading their service facility, they still apparently don't have enough room for service. Service is chronically understaffed. Having an appointment means absolutely nothing. You will still wait hours. Someone else in the waiting area has been here 2 hours already. And if you need something specific done, no one even bothers to look at upcoming appointments scheduled to make sure they have the appropriate parts needed. When I brought this up, they just played stupid like they had no idea what they would need until they inspected it. Well, maybe you should read the description in your upcoming appointments. The cars are great, but hope you never need any kind of service. Edit: After waiting 2 hours for an inspection I'm told it will be $900 just for parts for a $200 cover I could install myself if I had a lift. Unbelievable. I've had 6 hyundais. Never buying another one. And this is after having 2 hours wasted when I was lied to about the dealer "overpaying for trade ins" and trying to push me into a more expensive upgrade. They tried to give me absolute bottom dollar for the car. read more

Ill start by saying I only delt with sales, not service. I have seen some other reviews mentioning sales being great and service being rough, so keep that in mind. I bought a used 2023 IoniQ 6 from this location, and I could not have asked for a better experience. I worked with Collin in sales, and he was excellent. I was an out of state customer - their deals were so much better than my own area that I was willing to drive across state lines for a purchase. They accommodated this exceptionally. I was sent detailed images and videos - Collin seemed willing to go to any extent to get me all the information I needed. They handled the used EV rebate seamlessly, applying it to my down payment. The car itself seems pristine. I got it checked out by a local EV specialist mechanic, and no issues turned up. I was told whoever serviced it last really knew what they were doing for EVs specifically. The sale was quick, and pain free. I was at the dealership for maybe an hour including my own inspection and test drive of the vehicle. Overall, I can say the used car dealership here is the best I have been to in nearly every way. read more

Service was lousy. Came in early by 5 minutes and barely an acknowledgement that I was there. Had to ask if I was in the wrong spot as they were both sitting ignoring that I was there. The response was that they didn't open until 7am. Unable to get a shuttle until 730(I missed that), but lowest level service is friendly acknowledgement. They were not capable. Will not be back unless no other options. Sad as they used to be amazing read more

DO NOT USE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT If I could give Stew Hansen service department a negative 5 star review I would. We took our Jeep Compass in for service due to two issues that were covered under warranty. First of all, the seal on the head needed to be replaced but instead they made the issue worse by cracking the head and having to replace it. First issue EVENTUALLY resolved after they took additional days to obtain parts and do the work. Second issue was the auto stop/start feature was having a malfunction and not working properly. We were called, believed it was fixed and we picked up our Jeep after normal business hours because we both work. Low and behold it is not fixed. Another visit. Said they fixed the issue....again NOT FIXED. Had they actually taken it for a test drive they would have known it was not resolved. When we called to ask about the issue not being fixed we were told it wasn't the Service Managers fault because he was 'out sick' that day. Asked to bring it back for a THIRD time. Now we are greeted with a major attitude from the Service Manager who starts telling us all the excuses in the book on why it isn't working - none of which were valid in any way. Said they needed more time to find the issue. At this point I'm extremely upset with the fact they want us to bring the vehicle in FOUR TIMES before they actually attempt to resolve an issue and that's after arguing with the Service Manager that doesn't seem to know what is going on because "he wasn't there". We don't care if he was there or not - he's in charge of the department - do the JOB!!! If he doesn't want to do his job then hire someone who does. Honestly at this point a YouTube mechanic could do a better job. I will NOT be utilizing Stew Hansen in Urbandale for ANY future business I may have. They might be apologetic for my 'bad experience' or the 'inconvenience caused' but that does nothing to resolve the issue of an employee who apparently finds it acceptable to be disrespectful and rude to a customer when asked why something was not addressed THREE prior times. read more

I have been trying to schedule a recall repair on our Hyundai for months and the service department doesn't seem to have the capacity to do much of anything for the remainder of 2022 as they said they were too busy to schedule the repair. Every time I have called their service line, I either get cut off or get the same run around. These guys are a joke of a dealer. I really like the vehicle, but I will never buy another as long as Stew Hansen's is still the dealership. read more

What can I say? I took my 23 Tucson in for the second of my 3 complimentary services/oil change. I always wait for my vehicle. Well, after service is performed, they said they noticed the oil pan had some seepage and I would need to bring it in the following week to get it resealed. We scheduled it and I brought it in and waited. Well, several hours later, my wife inquires about it and is told it will not be much longer. Approximately 1/2 hour lately, wife is fed up and demands a car as we had some other appointments. We were provided a car. At no time was it said to us that this repair was an hours long half+ day repair. When we went back and picked up car, we thought all was done, well.....that was Wednesday dec.4, 2024 and we get a text on Thursday, Dec.5 at 1:33p.m. letting us know that when doing the repair the tech "noticed" the dipstick was broken on the end and to stop in and they would swap it out. I inquired about getting it sent to my home, since I live 38 miles away. Coleen said she would chat with parts and get back to me. That was Dec.16 at 6:56a.m.. Crickets ever since. This will be my last purchase through stew Hansons and probably my last hyundai. I have bought 3 there, but no more. It is all about the stealership now, customer beware. read more

5 stars for the dealership sales department -4stars for the inadequate service department. complete disregard or my service concerns by Kurt Musgrave read more

Purchased a new 2023 Santa Fe in December 2023. When I asked the sales rep, Pulcher, if they added anything to the monthly payment, he said that a $595 charge for Pladtech had to be added since it was built into the vehicle. When my wife and I went into Finance to finalize the paperwork, Ambrose confirmed that the Pladtech had to be included. He also convinced us to include extended Service ($1584.70) and maintenance ($211.95) agreements, which was ok at the time. After researching the Pladtech that evening I became skeptical that it was a required charge. The next morning I called the dealership and another salesman answered. I asked him whether Pladtech was a required cost and he replied "absolutely not". I called back in and asked for the sales manager and he immediately arranged a check for $595 sent to me. Having lost some faith, I decided to also to rescind the maintenance and service agreements and promptly sent in the required form yet that morning. They said they couldn't send me a check on that ($1796.65) but would take care of that thru Hyundai Finance. Ok, but didn't really make sense as we had traded in a vehicle for $26,750 so amount of down payment wasn't an issue. Well when I finally heard from Hyundai Finance I find that Stew Hansen Hyundai had sent a check to Hyundai Finance for only $1495 (cost of maintenance agreement without tax). HF simply applied the $1495 to eliminate the next few payments. So, they again shorted me $291.65. I can only conclude it was done intentionally since they had the form in his hands as well as the sales agreement showing the actual charges. I'll let readers draw their own conclusions as to whether this is a firm they want to deal with based on these facts. read more

My car was brought here 3 weeks, and they said they would be able to get to it as soon as they could. I still made an appointment for weeks out just in case they couldn't get around to it. A week after I had got a quote from the service department and was told they would be moving my vehicle to the body shop for a quote. On my appointment date I had not received any phone calls, I had called 7 times by this point over the past 3 weeks and left voicemails to get an idea of what was happening, and got zero response. I finally got through to the body shop where I was told they had not even seen my vehicle. The unprofessionalism I have received from Cole and Stew Hansen as a whole is absolutely unacceptable. I've been without my vehicle for 3 weeks with no answers. And they won't remove or reduce any charges they have tacked on to fix nothing. Will NEVER use this company again. read more

Never again will I do business with Stew Hansen. Our first experience when we interested in a car and later decided the deal wasn't good enough, they wouldn't give us our keys and when they did they stood in front of our car and wouldn't let us leave. They latest experience is they wouldnt honor an advantage maintenance oil change because it was two days overs the 36 month deadline. Regardless of the fact we couldn't get the car in because the dealership was fully booked for that service according to their website. Never again. read more

Last month my daughter was traveling from Denver to Chicago, when her Hyundai Sonata totally broke down in Des Moines. AAA towed her car to Stew Hansen Hyundai where she met one of their service advisors, Nick McD. Nick was amazing! He had the car quickly inspected, confirmed that the engine was completely busted, and after checking the warranty, informed my daughter that the manufacturer's warranty was still valid. My daughter was thrilled. Nick got her a rental car, let her know that all charges will be covered, and that the car did not have to be returned until the engine was replace in approximately 4 weeks. The entire experience was easy and smooth. I later spoke with their GM, Steve, who was equally gracious and professional. The employees at Stew Hansen Hyundai made an incredibly stressful and confusing situation effortless. THANK YOU SO MUCH! - Liz read more

This review only pertains to the service department as it pertains to actually getting your vehicle in. The last time is scheduled an oil change, it was a 3 week wait. I called today because the trunk latch broke on my Sonata so the trunk won't stay closed. The earliest they could get me in is 3 1/2 weeks! Luckily, thanks to YouTube, I'll repair it myself. read more

Updated review. Problem piled on to problems. Multiple calls with no information. I took my car in to get fixed. I didn't know that once you get the part you have to call and schedule another appointment. And then my service advisor gives me loads of information I don't need to know. He didn't even seem to know that my car was there to get fixed. I thought that was assumed when I brought it in and asked for it to be repaired information Perhaps it's a generational thing, but I remember a time when you go to get some thing done, they would do it, and then the ticket is closed. read more

We bought our Hyundai Palisade from Stew Hansen Hyundai brand new and couldn't be more pleased with the salesperson Izzo. He treated us with respect when going through the buying process and followed up several times to make sure we were satisfied with everything. He was friendly, had lots of product knowledge and sure seemed like he enjoyed working there. We love the Palisade, my wife drives it. I bought myself a new Honda Accord, it's a good car. Bought it from that dealership that calls itself "smart". But let me tell you the truth. Hyundai makes great vehicles, 100k 10yr. warranty, and their Hansen dealership evidently cares about their customers by treating them like they need them! read more

Downgraded from 2 star to 1 star but I'd give zero stars if I could. Gave this place another chance today since I purchased my vehicle here but despite a Wednesday morning APPOINTMENT, it still took an hour & a half for a basic oil change!!!! I don't understand how it can possibly be this slow. I can literally go anywhere else, even without an appt and be in & out in under 30 minutes. I'll never come back. read more

This review is specifically for the service department. I bought my car here and had no issues with sales staff. However, I just got my vehicle back after two months and had possibly the worst customer service experience with the service department. I could never get anyone on the phone, they wouldn't return messages, didn't communicate with me at all, and I would have to drive there in person to get answers to simple questions. read more

I wrecked my car and tanner found me the perfect one. Great customer service! Would highly recommend

This is the third time I've tried to schedule service. The lead time has lengthened with each attempt. I asked today to investigate a Malfunction Indicator, align the wheels, and change my oil, and was quoted a 7-week wait for an appointment. Kia of Des Moines had an appointment available ... tomorrow. I won't try again at Stew Hansen. read more

I have one Hyundai and it is a solid little car. Stew does an amazing job. They did some warranty work for me they did an inspection all the way around the car found nothing wrong and didn't try to sell me anything else. They are very courteous friendly and professional I would highly recommend them to anybody. read more

My mother had a check engine light come on her brand new car that she bought from this dealership 3 weeks ago. Luckily for her it ended up only being a gas cap issue, but the dealership decided to charge her 250 dollars for this fix (of tightening her gas cap). They then proceeded to question her about if she filled her gas tank before or if she used the right gas. Policy with any repair is to call the customer and confirm the problem and if they are okay with the charge for the fix. This dealership never did that, neither a call to my dad or mom, yet they claimed and wrote in their paperwork that they called my dad and confirmed it (my dad was farming and on a combine all day with no access to phone). This is the fourth Hyundai my parents have bought and they will never take it back to this dealership and if you are a female I would never take it to this dealership either as they will treat you a like you are an idiot and have no idea how to tie your own shoes. Super disappointing that companies this big still take advantage of their customers, especially the loyal ones. read more

Updating my review to reflect the best service I've received from Stew Hansen Hyundai. It was July 2nd and I got my car back by the 3rd, driving perfectly on the 4th! They were jam-packed full of scheduled appointments, too. Thank you, Jordan, for giving us a valuable diagnosis, following that up with a plan of action to suit our budget for now and what we need to prepare for in the future. It really helps to see it on paper like that. The car is running a lot better now that you guys put the alternator in and changed the battery. read more

It only took me 2 weeks to get an appointment for an oil change. I tried several times to do it online but the schedule was not working. My first call was a rude woman who said she couldn't do anything without the VIN number. The second time I called a recording told me to leave my number and I would get a call back...I'm still waiting...the 3rd time I called a guy told me they aren't taking appointments and I'd have to come in and wait my turn. WHAT? ? In his defense he sounded like he just woke up so I'll give him a pass for not knowing where he worked. I finally said is there someone that can recommend another place I can go to? He transferred me to a woman that knew what she was doing, very polite and my 2 week appointment quest ended. She deserves 5 stars, but the whole experience I'm generous with one star! read more

In short: First time visiting this dealership with my new-to-me Kona. I would definitely recommend getting serviced here, especially if you are still under factory warranty. I am moving cross country soon & wanted to get a service check to make sure that everything was fine before leaving next week. I definitely did not plan accordingly to make an appointment (2-3 weeks out), but the woman on the phone was very helpful explaining their walk-in hours/availability. I stopped by last week & they were not able to fit me in without holding my car for 3 days (this seemed incorrect & was the only negative point). I talked to Ryan & explained my situation, he was very helpful & said I could definitely get in on Tuesday morning! I went in as soon as they were open & Nick gave me great service! He answered all of my questions (via their texting service) while they were working on my car. If I was staying in the DSM area, I would definitely return for future services. read more

I brought my car in when it had 5500 miles on it to get the free service check up and the oil changed. At around 8000 miles. I had a warning message that my oil needed to be changed again. So I placed another service work order online with a note asking someone to call me that this warning light was on my car and the oil had already been changed 3000 miles ago. I received no callback so I took my car in And a service supervisor when I walked into the service area, informed me to pull my car into the middle area and they would gather the information to get service on my vehicle. When I came back into the service center, the service supervisor was gone and told another employee he was going to lunch. So I had to stand there and wait for another agent to help me. The second service gentleman was very nice and said it looked like the first time the car was in the auto mechanic, forgot to reset my oil change warning, and didn't give me a sticker as to when I needed to come back. I am disappointed in the focus on the customer and the service that was provided. I hope it improves as a new car buyer! read more

I've bought 2 cars here in the last 10 years. Car is leaking oil, in order to get it in for warranty work the first appt is 2 months from now. What good is my warranty? Had good relationship until now. Need to buy another new car, maybe it's time to try an EV. read more

First of all the Finance department was a joke, they should have looked at my credit report and went to a credit union and not banks, but I know they get more on the backend with banks and not credit unions, and slower than anything I have ever seen. I have been in financing and we make it very quick. 2nd - my car is a piece of shit, 2016 have had a wheel bearing replaced already now a problem with the breaks and I have called and no return call from them. Will never buy a Hyundai again...can't wait to get rid of mine. read more

I went in for an oil change and tire rotation. I bought my car a year ago, it is a 2022 Hyundai Tuscon. (I should have free oil changes for 3 years or 36K miles but they don't offer that.) Instead the service rep, Khalid offered me a package for 3 visits. Synthetic oil change, tire rotation, and car wash for $199.00... so, I agreed. Then, the service rep said last time they didn't change filters or do an alignment... wanted to know if I wanted that. I asked, how much will that be...total, he said $265. Well, dummy me... when they were done, it was $477... I didn't want to create a fuss because I needed to get back to work for a meeting and the lobby was full. I guess he meant to say it was $199 plus the $265. I have tried to call and talk to a service manager, but no return call. I messaged them on their website and on fb messenger. Nothing. Not okay to do that to people... I am the idiot for falling for this but I will not return to them. I will take my business elsewhere. ​ read more

Marcus, Steve, and Luis were our dream team! Planned on buying one new car, but we both ended up getting new cars on the same day. They were very fair and efficient in the buying process, and made buying both very easy. They had exemplary customer service - I would recommend them to anyone! read more

I was actually very terrified to come here based off the reviews. I came here for a recall & originally the lady over the phone said it would take a half of a day to a full day. Which didn't make sense since it only takes an hour to reprogram my engine. When I arrived, the man (Jordan) said it will take 1-2 hours. In the end, it only took 45 minutes!! Very surprised considering the reviews said they were very slow. Jordan was very nice and everything ran smoothly. read more

Salesperson Jerry lied to me regarding oil changes under their warranty saying the customer is required to pay for the first oil change at 3750 miles and Hyundai covers the alternating changes every other 3750 miles. After many emails, full voicemails inboxes, phone transfer errors, and voicemails not being returned I spoke with his direct manager, Drew. I have confirmed this is not true and their warranty covers three free oil changes up to 30,000 miles. I am currently waiting to hear back from general manager Steve to find out why I was told I needed to come in for service when it is not required to stay under warranty and only a suggestion that they recommend full synthetic oil needs changed at 3,750 miles. (Which is an outrageous suggestion with full synthetic oil, but that's irrelevant the problem is I was told that's what is required to stay under warranty and that's how they operate) So I was told to stay under warranty I needed these redundant extra oil changes. It was not a suggestion. Definitely will not be a returning customer and would not recommend anyone trust the sales culture at this location. Drew didn't mention reprimanding Jerry in any way and hardly apologized. I think this is just how they operate and will continue to. But he did agree that Jerry lied directly to me about how the warranty works. read more
