              Went to purchase a certified pre owned Hyundai Elantra 2023. The dealer had the car serviced before my arrival and took down images on their website of the vehicle. Halfway home I realized they had, I believe intentionally not mentioned a crack on the dashboard that was very noticeable. After telling them what happened they refused to help and stated they simply missed it. This is hard to believe as the car was serviced and they removed images from the website once our deal was struck. I've called the business several times and they refused to contact me back, only replying to a google review in which they stated they had been in contact with me to come to a resolution (they did not). Someone who owns this buisness has no probelm our right lying, and now I'm receiving suspicious mail from them

              They sold me a car knowing of a problem with the oil light coming on then don't want to fix it. I'm 2 hours away and they want me to travel back there but told me they won't pay for it because its not part of the warranty which would only cover what Maryland state inspection covers. I was never explained the warranty process at all. This was only a week after I purchased the car. Very poor customer service and management. I do not recommend this place.
