Every step of the way, we felt very confident that we were getting the best deal and the best customer service. We learned so much about the car buying process, which was very helpful especially during these uncertain times when every industry is affected by Covid. It's a priority of his to get his customers a quality, reliable car, and he makes sure of that. We knew we weren't going to get the run around, or risk buying something that wasn't as reliable as it appeared. Bill is an excellent communicator and made us feel like we were his only clients. He made the whole process very smooth and easy, while getting us exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend Bill Card and Automotive Consultants for your next car purchase! They will take care of you like you are family - which is a really great way to buy a car :)

I had prequalified financing so when I contacted Frank Khan, he had the two Outback models was interested in warming up and ready to go when I got there for test drive. The buying process was easy and quick. The only issue I had was there is residue on my wheel rims from the shipping covers and they said a detailer would have to clean that. Maguire might want to fix that. Service was great and there is a courtesy shuttle to take me to work when I needed to drop off my car to have a wind screen installed for the sunroof. The only other issue was the car lot is very crowded and cramped. I would recommend this dealership. I had more positives than negatives.

Not long ago though, my car started having issues with the transmission slipping gears... I'd be…read moredriving along when my vehicle would suddenly shift from Drive into 2nd gear (or sometimes Neutral). Within a day or two, I had an appointment with my main auto mechanic, but they advised that my make/model of car has a closed transmission and I'd need to take my car to a dealership. It would have taken more than 4 weeks to get my Hyundai into Simmons-Rockwell Hyundai in Elmira, and I wasn't sure I'd be able to get it all the way back to Fuccillo Hyundai of Syracuse (where I originally bought the car). I (begrudgingly) made an appointment with Maguire Hyundai of Ithaca because I was able to have my appointment quickly. I dropped my car off in the parking lot of Maguire Hyundai on the day of my appointment and went inside to leave my keys and have final discussions about the issue my car was experiencing, as well as the 2 recent recalls I wanted to have tended to. I specifically asked them to *call me* with a result of transmission diagnostic testing AND what they were thinking after a test-drive of the car... ... but I never got a call about the results of either. Instead, I got a call a couple hours after dropping my car off saying the car was done and could be picked up. Um, no? That's not how this works, because I was very clear with what I asked for and that didn't happen. I asked to speak to a service manager so I could get more details on results of testing. When I was finally able to get someone on the phone, I was told nothing came up on the diagnostic testing and they couldn't get the issue to replicate, so they didn't do anything. Given that I had experienced the issue twice in the short drive from where I had been staying to the Maguire Hyundai location, that wasn't a sufficient response for me. I had done some additional research, and had come up with a couple possibilities of what was likely given what I had been experiencing... including issues that would be fixed with a transmission flush / new fluid (something that especially made sense, given I had never had the fluid changed and it *is* a closed system). I was told they would try and get it done before the end of the workday, but it would be ready by 10am the next morning at the latest... and they'd call when it was ready. Cut to the next day, and no call by 10am. No call by noon. No call by 2pm. I called, but got no call back. I hopped onto their website and chatted with a customer service rep via their messaging system and asked for a call about my car... nothing. Finally, I drove a friend's car down to the dealership from where I'd been staying, and I was told my car would be ready within an hour. I go back to the house, pick up my friend who will drive their own car back when I'm picking up mine, and we head back down to Maguire Hyundai. I get BACK down to Maguire Hyundai and I'm told that oops... your car won't be able to be picked up until morning. After a transmission flush, the dealership wants to let it sit for a bit and then test drive it to ensure all is well. Okay, BUT WHY DID YOU TELL ME MY CAR WOULD BE DONE WITHIN AN HOUR? I head back out without my car, but a promise from the dealership that it'll be ready for pick-up by 10am the next day. The next day, they actually call me back by 10am (9:52am, to be exact), and they tell me that my car is ready. I head down, pay, pick up my car, and head out on my way... relieved to finally be done with the experience. The big takeaway from my experience with Maguire Hyundai? The communication - whether between team members at the dealership (service counter and mechanics, etc), or service team members and customers - needs a LOT of work. Like, A LOT. Also, my car would not have been properly tended to without my pushing for it and specifically asking them to take additional steps. The fact that I initially got a flippant "your car is ready" - when I was very specific about the issue and what I wanted - isn't something I consider acceptable. TL;DR Giving 2 stars instead of just 1 because the issue DID get fixed, even though I needed to be assertive with what I wanted done / checked. The entire experience was way more to deal with than it should have been... and again, communication needs major improvement.

The dealership sent me 2 email reminders to confirm my appt for the date and time selected.

I have 6 months left on my lease and will not be getting another Audi vehicle, because of this. I have 2 appointments with nearby BMW dealerships who are much too eager to help, why should I stay with this brand? I think this dealership dropped the ball and should be talked to about the way they do business and treat their customers.

Everyone who works here is condescending and rude. When I walked into the dealership and said I…read morewas looking to test-drive, the first thing the sales manager said to me was "what color do you want?" I'm a woman, in my 30s. I'm not 12 years old. This was not my first car, nor was it my first decade of driving. Anyway, I test-drove a Jetta. (This location has VWs as well as Toyotas.) I couldn't tell you what color the it was, although it did handle very nicely. A sales associate rode along during the test drive and told me repeatedly what a great job I was doing at turning left across traffic and thinking to test the brakes on the car I was test-driving. I would like to once again emphasize that I'm an adult, with a driver's license, which you'd think would have been obvious to this sales associate. It's also worth nothing that I'd told him truthfully that I was looking for a replacement for the Jetta I'd already driven for 150k miles. When I said I wasn't sure looking to make a purchase that day, the sales associate said "is there anything we can do to win your heart, honey?" and -- when I continued to refuse -- added something about car buying being an "irrational decision." The 2023 Jetta did impress me, which is why I drove 90 minutes to the VW in Vestal and bought one there. Funny enough, this is almost exactly what happened in 2013. I test-drove a Jetta at Maguire, had a sales associate who only spoke to the male friend who had given me a ride to the dealership (even after my friend repeatedly tried to leave the conversation), and drove all the way to Rochester to buy the car I wanted from a sales team I actually trusted. Anyway, the 2023 Jetta's a great car: nice handling, excellent balance of torque and efficiency, and extremely safe without sacrificing a sporty feel. Buy one in Syracuse, if you're in the market.
