Crown Hyundai

“I recently purchased my second car with Eric and Jack from crown Hyundai. They took their time, helped me find car in my price range. They were very patient and guided me in a great direction. I chose a Hyundai venue and could not be happier The entire team Eric Valladares, Jack Nash and the finance manager John Luebke went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The team is excellent and so kind with the best costumer service! If you need a new or used car I would highly recommend Eric , Jack and John !!!!”

“Exceptional service from Eric Valladares the first time at Crown Hyundai. Showed up needed a nice safe car and our daughter walked away that day very happy. Allowed us to test drive many options ( Hyundai Elantra) and also kudos to John in Finance for guiding us. Back a few months later for a second car ( unfortunately someone ran a red light and plowed into our daughter and totaled the first car !!!) - we called Eric and immediately he helped us along with his team member Jack and again John in finance. They treated our daughter as family, stayed within the price range and found a safe reliable car. This time I could not be there but the entire team went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. ( Hyundai venue ) Incredible people work here! I would recommend their services to all.”

“I recently purchased a new 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid from Thomas Gonzalez (and help from Vinny Zeitler) at Crown and could not have had a better experience (pro-tip, go on Sunday if you can!). This was literally the easiest car buying experience I've ever gone through. Normally I dread going to a car dealership, but Thomas applied zero pressure, making it an easy and relaxing experience. He had great knowledge on the cars, specifically on different trim levels, which helped with my decision. I also was working with a trade-in, and that process was also very easy. They were also very fair with what they offered for the trade-in, so there was never any uncomfortable "wheeling and dealing". If you're in the market for a new car, definitely go check them out!”

“SIMPLY STATED: My Best Vehicle Buying Experience happened here yesterday with Cameron Herring! It’s kind of a long backstory but PLEASE BUYERS PAY ATTENTION to the details of my experience because Cameron and this Dealership could save you $1,000’s of Dollars! For the past 5 years my household has purchased or leased 4 vehicles from a big volume competitor in Lakewood Ranch, FL and I also referred several buyers to them during this time. In 2022, I purchased a new Genesis GV80 that I had serviced entirely at the dealer's location. Yesterday, I went in for 4 new tires and while waiting I decided to inquire about trading in my car for a lease. I was nervous because I haven’t purchased a car on my own in over 30 years and never leased a car before. I explained many times to the Leasing Consultant, General Manager and Finance Manager my fears. I really need to hang on to my cash reserves and keep my payment as low as possible. For the trade in value on my GV80 they gave me $30,500 but I had to ask for more when originally I was only offered $29,000. Then, when I leave and return with a cashier's check for $3,650 “the only way to get my payment under $650.00” the dealership had placed a sticker on my car to sell it for $54,145! Now, I am fine with people making money in this business but WHAT I AM NOT FINE WITH, is taking advantage of a loyal customer who really needed care on this transaction. Because what I found out next is that the EXACT SAME CAR was available at a competing dealership in Saint Petersburg (45 mins away) CROWN HYUNDAI, that I could get with NO MONEY DOWN (just the first lease payment due at signing) and a LOWER monthly payment difference of almost $200.00!! Remember, I DON’T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH CROWN, like I did with the other dealership. How could there be such a difference in the numbers? Sounded too good to be true. Well, it was TRUE and I canceled my transaction and drove straight to CROWN HYUNDIA, got the car, they even threw in a TIRE AND RIM PACKAGE and the payment was STILL LESS than what the other dealership said was “the best they can do”. ALL MY business and referrals will now be going to Cameron Herring and CROWN HYUNDAI AND GENESIS. From the moment Cameron opened the door for me he was respectful and kept me informed of the entire process which seemed effortless compared to my other experience earlier that day. Mark Bowen, the Finance Services Manger, put the numbers together EXACTLY AS CAMERON TOLD ME THEY WOULD BE. None of the back and forth and “oh let me see” or “well we didn’t know about this or that.” You know what I mean. This was just straight talk, real numbers and just a 5 start experience all the way around. What’s also really nice is they have a well outfitted customer waiting area with a world class coffee machine, complimentary snacks, WiFi and plenty of tables, seats and chairs as well as charging stations while you wait comfortably for your vehicle to be serviced. REMEMBER BEFORE YOU BUY OR LEASE CALL CAMERON FIRST to see what he can do. He is Certified in Hyundai and Genesis so find out if he can BEAT YOUR DEAL and tell him I sent you.”

“I recently purchased my 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe with the help of Travis Williams at Crown Hyundai, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Travis was professional, patient, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain features thoroughly, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. What stood out most was how friendly and approachable he was—never pushy, just focused on making sure I got the right vehicle for me. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. Thanks to Travis, I drove away in my new Santa Fe with complete confidence. If you’re looking for a new car, I highly recommend asking for Travis Williams. He’ll take great care of you!”
