The worst experience I have had at any dealership warranty is no good un reliable, will not go above and beyond on warranty but yet hounded me hard when I was buying. I was within the 12 month period warranty is no good un reliable, will not go above and beyond on warranty but yet hounded me hard when I was buying. I was within the 12 month period when mentioned but when I brought it in i was past the 12 month. When I was buying my phone would not stop ringing they were calling steady. Once I started having problems the phone stopped ringing I had to call and find out what is happening. The palisade I bought was not inspected properly when I bought and now with only 20,000km on the vehicle they are putting the blame back on me, when the service manager and the technician both said the door is out of alignment from the factory. But still putting the blame on me. Showed the issue to another person who is part of the auto group with out telling him the actual problem and right away could see the issue with out hesitation, and said easily should be covered. Again the big guy won. I have had warranty on other vehicles in the past and never and issue and even when the warranty ran out other dealerships covered it with no problems. Here they basically just ran it up to a calling station and then that was it denied. And again no one even called me to tell me I had to call 2 to 3 weeks later to find out. More

Looked at every dealership in Dawson and was disappointed with the selection. Buddy drove me to gp and I had the best service I've ever had, they got me exactly what I wanted to get into, explained everythin with the selection.

I've been dealing with Grande Prairie Hyundai since 2013 & the main reason I keep going back to them is the outstanding people that work there. I went to look at the new Elantra's on Saturday. I was dealing & the main reason I keep going back to them is the outstanding people that work there. I went to look at the new Elantra's on Saturday. I was dealing with Kyle (who also sold me my Tucson) the vehicle we were going to test drive was grabbed by another customer so Kyle picked out a different one had my doubts the wife would like the color or new style. The moment she saw it in our parking lot her face lit up and a big Wow ! The moment she sat in it and Kyle went over all the new features she fell in love ! (with the car of course). So a big thank you to Kyle on his excellent choice and he got me on the "I told you so" (had to put that in buddy) lol. Kyle and I also discussed the price and payments prior to the test drive and with the help of Kyle, Brittany and Katisha we kept it right in the zone. Professional and honest people to deal with. Thank you again Kyle ! More
