Who Drives a Hyundai? Meet Serena S.
A terrible head-on collision totaled their Telluride in Fort Collins which brought Serena and her husband to our dealership the 2nd week of November. Her husband was injured but is recovering. While Serena’s family has owned several types of Hyundai’s over the years, they had purchased a Telluride “after a lot of research” last year for travel and a growing family. They loved the Telluride and intended to buy another one. But a friend of Serena’s told her before you do that, go take a look at the new Hyundai Palisade, it’s in the same class and is amazing.
Serena told him “no way am I going to like it better than the Telluride, I did my research!” Serena went reluctantly with him to our dealership and she test drove the 2020 Palisade. “I was shocked, I loved it, I thought I did all my research!” “My friend was right, it’s amazing, so many features and for a better price.” Serena has the first Palisade in her Windsor neighborhood. “I notice heads turning when I drive it around and people stop to ask me about it all the time!” I will always look at a Hyundai 1st!
Alex's Service Tip!
Make sure your vehicle has the proper coolant mix in the engine to prevent issues during the cold winter months! Different coolants are mixed to different temperature specifications, and depending where your vehicle was purchased it may not be rated for the climate you live in. Have your coolant tested by a technician to see if you need to flush it out and install a different mix to keep your vehicle in tip top shape and prevent engine troubles. Testing coolant only takes a few minutes, so be sure to ask your advisor about it next time you have a service appointment!

Hyundai of Greeley is fortunate to attract some of the most friendly and personable customers from all over Northern Colorado and the United States!

We just love meeting people from all over the country!
The last week of October we had a gentleman from Rhode Island who purchased a beautiful Harley Davidson motorcycle we received as a trade in. He liked the price and the unique color. He flew in, we picked him up at DIA , he purchased the bike and away he went on his Harley back to Rhode Island, what a cool guy he was!
We so enjoy the variety of customers we see at our dealership and helping them with their automotive needs. Thank you all so much, and may you all have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

October Newsletter
Greetings Hyundai friends!
Happy October, one of the most beautiful months of the year in Colorado! We hope all our Hyundai customers are enjoying the beauty of our great state during this fall season.
Hyundai of Greeley has had a great September! We have met some awesome new customers to welcome to our Hyundai family! The 2019 Tucson’s have been the big seller for all types of buyers! And the Kona’s have been going strong as always.
Hyundai just introduced 2020 Palisade and we began delivery of the new SUV in August and it has been a BIG hit! It continues to exceed all sales projections nationwide!!
We sold our first shipment in one week; in fact, all of our September shipments have been sold! We will be getting our fourth shipment the first week of October! We have even had customers holding upcoming vehicles with down payments site unseen!
We realize many of you are a little frustrated with the availability of the Palisade; to be honest, we are too! It’s because it’s selling much faster than anticipated. And that means our customers LOVE this new vehicle! The inventory issue is a nation-wide problem, but the good news is we are getting “Hyper White” Palisades in October, one of the most requested colors.
Hyundai Motor America identified and responded to consumer desire for an SUV that provides both luxury and affordability. The Palisade’s popularity has demonstrated the need for such a vehicle and Hyundai has increased its production of the Palisade model to meet the demand in the coming months.

Who Buys A Hyundai
Who Buys a Hyundai? Meet Beth E. & Jannie Holloway
Beth E. and Jannie Holloway were in our customer lounge this week discussing their Hyundai vehicles. These ladies found they had a lot in common and were so delightful to talk with we had to share them with you for our October newsletter!
Beth and her family reside in Greeley where she is a substitute teacher. Beth loves teaching elementary age kids and has two children of her own. Beth graduated from UNC with a degree in Sociology. Beth’s degree in Sociology has helped her address the social and psychological needs of children in today’s culture.
Beth and her husband, who works in law enforcement, did a lot of research before they decided on a vehicle. They wanted a car with an industry leading warranty, reliability and an affordable price which lead them to choose a Hyundai Elantra. Beth has been very happy with her Elantra and will look at a Hyundai SUV when her children get older. Beth also shared. “I have never experienced a service department as good as yours or as customer oriented as Hyundai of Greeley’s”! She feels our service department takes awesome care of her and really values her business.
Jannie is originally from New Jersey, she came to Colorado to attend UNC where she earned a degree in Psychology/Sociology. She and her husband, who is from Fort Morgan, both work in law enforcement. Jannie and her husband have owned Hyundai vehicles for about 15 years. They have owned various Hyundai models and currently have a Sonata Hybrid. Jannie believes Hyundai gives a lot of value for the money, which is the primary reason they have purchase Hyundai’s over the years.
Jannie and Beth both talked about how much they like how quiet their Hyundai’s are and shared a laugh about how sometimes they don’t know if their car is on!
Thank you Jannie and Beth, you were wonderful to talk with and we so appreciate you!

Meet our Staff: Marcus Zeigler, General Manager
Marcus hales from Savannah, Georgia. He left the land of peaches and azaleas to attend Valparaiso University where he earned a degree in business management. Marcus moved to New York City to take a position with a sports agent company working with elite athletes. One of the most interesting athletes he worked with was Terrel Davis! Marcus has been a Bronco fan ever since.
While Marcus found the world of sports management exciting, it was also very intense and did not offer him as much direct customer contract he would have liked. Marcus has always loved interacting with people, particularly in sales. Solving customer financial problems has been the most satisfying aspect of his career. An opportunity to combine his interests lured him into the automotive field as a general manager in his home town of Savannah Georgia where he met his wife, Emily. A few years later a general manager position with the Hyundai America Corp brought him to Colorado and closer to his wife’s family.
Marcus’s southern-gentleman personality is always apparent when he interacts with customers. We are sure his style is why so many former customers stop in every day just to say hello and consult with him about auto issues. Marcus is very active in various children’s charities and health disorders that affect children’s development, in particular the Dravet Syndrome Foundation.
Who Buys a Hyundai? Meet Paulina S.
Pauline is originally from Australia. She came to the U.S. almost 30 years ago after she married a U.S. military officer serving in Vietnam. They settled in California where Pauline became a U.S. citizen, but she still retains her lovely Australian accent. Pauline and her husband moved to Fort Collins when their son’s job transferred him to Colorado.
Pauline leases her autos because she feels more comfortable with a new auto every few years. Until this summer she had done business with another local Hyundai dealership. She brought a friend, visiting from Australia, to her dealership because her friend was interested in buying an Elantra when she returned to Australia.
Pauline felt she and her friend were treated very poorly when the sales person found out they weren’t buying. She found the negative sales attitude, along with the lack of continuity in the service department, enough to make her not want to return.
Her son, a Genesis owner, recommended she try Hyundai of Greeley. Pauline said, “I couldn’t believe the care and attention I had received from Hyundai of Greeley. Every time I came in they recognize me, and they always have the same guys to work with, I feel we have a relationship.” Pauline shared that while she was waiting in service this last time, Russ, one of the service managers, mentioned the $50.00 gift card offer from Hyundai for taking a test drive. Pauline decided she would try a new Tucson. “I had no intention of buying a new car, but I loved the Tucson and was treated so respectfully with no sales push. My sales person was so knowledgeable and seemed to actually have fun showing me all the great features on the Tucson so I decided to trade up from my Sonata! I can’t believe how different this dealership is; everyone is so friendly and seems to enjoy their work. It is so worth the drive from Fort Collins!”
Alex's Service Tip of the Month!:
Are your tires telling you something? Inspecting your tires routinely can save you money and headache in the long run. Tire wear can tell you a lot about if your vehicle suspension is in spec, if your alignment is still in spec, if your tires need to be rotated, and if they need to be inflated or even deflated! Tires tend to wear in specific patterns in relation to a vehicle malfunction, and can be avoided by yearly alignments and rotating your tires on schedule. Keeping proper air pressure in your tires as well will ensure a nice even wear on your tires throughout the life, and we here at Hyundai of Greeley can help advise you when to rotate and inflate the tires properly to get the maximum amount of mileage out of each set of tires you may ride on!

Service Tip of the Month! Alex Bustos, Service Manager
This month I would like to stress the importance of changing your vehicle’s oil on time and with the correct parts! As we rely on our vehicles to get us to our destinations in one piece, our vehicles also rely on us to properly maintain them to keep them running as designed. The single most important service any technician or service advisor can recommend is an oil change with an OEM Oil filter from the manufacturer, and quality oil at the recommended interval for your climate. Using manufacturer made filters will save time and money in the long run, as they are built to the proper specifications of the engine they are paired with in your vehicle.
Any time your engine is running, your oil is being heated up from friction and pumped through many lines and ports inside of the engine to provide proper lubrication to all of the moving parts inside your engine. Over time, the oil quality begins to break down from this friction; it can take on a dark color and get thin – thus not lubricating your vehicle’s internal parts. Over time this oil being thin can begin to turn into a solid we call “sludge,” which looks like it sounds. The oil will bunch up and can start causing numerous issues, from clogged lines and ports to plugged valves, the vehicle can begin to burn the oil that is not turned into sludge, and can cause gasket failure in the future. All of these things can turn into costly repairs if the standard maintenance is not kept up on, possibly causing catastrophic failure of your engine in the worst case scenario. Using quality oil and the correct filter from your manufacturer will ensure your engine gets proper lubrication to all moving parts, ensure the internal parts of your engine stay clean and free of debris/sludge, and keep your vehicle running well beyond your expectations so you can focus on enjoying road trips, or stay worry free on your commute.
Schedule Service online or call us today at 970.939.5222 to have your vehicle maintained, or to make sure you are on schedule in the future for your routine maintenance!

Who Drives a Hyundai? Meet Robert S.
Robert is an over-the-road truck driver of 30 years. He has driven all over the country in 18 wheelers, and triple trailers through Colorado and Kansas. He has dealt with all kinds of road experiences from snowstorms in the Rockies to 10 lanes of traffic in California. Robert is an experienced mechanic and can talk about all makes and models of cars in detail!
Robert purchased a Hyundai Sonata in 2004. He drove a number of different models of cars before he chose a Hyundai. The Sonata now has over 170,000 miles, runs great and he and his wife love it.
They purchased a 2018 Tucson which they have taken to California several times. The Tucson was getting 28-29 miles per gallon. Robert decided, on a whim, to try premium gas on their last trip. To his amazement his Tucson got over 33 miles to the gallon! “I had to check it twice to make sure I was correct!

June Newsletter
Greetings Hyundai Friends!
We hope you all are safe and well to enjoy the summer; which seemed to take forever to get here this year! Yikes!
The safety of its customers is a cornerstone of Hyundai Motor America. Developing new and innovative safety features is a major consideration when designing new or redesigned Hyundai models. Hyundai is continually seeking the input from various sources who provide and support the safety, welfare and care of all of us! The First Responders in our communities are the front lines of providing these services.
Hyundai is recognizing the contributions of first Responders by introducing the All New First Responders Program! Beginning May 1, 2019 all active first Responders (Police, Firefighters, EMT/Paramedics and 911 Dispatchers) are eligible for $500 off the purchase of any eligible Hyundai or Genesis vehicle. For First Responders who are also an active or former military veteran, this would mean a $1000 off purchase price!
First Responders Training Week was held in Greeley on May 20th – May 25th. Hyundai of Greeley honored our local First Responders by delivering pastries to all of the 1st responder units in our communities. We appreciate all they do for us and hope we gave them a “Sweet” beginning to their training!
Let’s start with the interior of your trade in.
Customers do not always appreciate the significance of the auto’s interior in the trade value of their vehicle. An impression of the vehicle occurs the minute we enter; we are naturally drawn to the smell of an auto’s interior. Does the auto have smoke or other bad odors? This we know is a turn off for many used auto buyers. We all love the smell of a new auto but a funky smell in a used auto can turn us off from the finer features!
You would be surprised how many people bring their car in for trade and it has not been cleaned in years or it has trash covering the back seat. A cheeseburger from 1910 under the seat gives the impression the car has not been well cared for. Are there holes, rips or stains in the seats or other interior damage? It’s never a bad idea to have those fixed prior to having your vehicle evaluated if possible.
Lastly, while Fido is an important member of the family, pet hair is difficult to remove from the interior's carpet. Even the condition of the trunk from hauling garden supplies or paint and other items are factors people often don't consider in assessment of their auto…so clean it up a bit before you bring it to a dealer to put your best foot forward!
How does mileage affect your trade-in's value?
How does mileage affect its value?
As the mileage of your vehicle ticks up, so does its “wear and tear” factor. Fewer miles usually means higher resale value. The resale value of your vehicle will drop significantly once the mileage limit on your vehicle’s warranty is reached. New cars are less prone to mileage-related engine or component failure, but the mileage on the odometer will still impact the resale price of a newer vehicle.
To get the most for your trade in we recommend you visit us for a complementary pre-appraisal consultation/inspection to give you an idea where you are with your trade in value. No pressure, no charge!
Next month we’ll discuss how exterior factors and mechanical issues affect the value of your trade in.

Who Buys a Hyundai?
Meet Pam Mullen: A great Hyundai story!
Pam and her husband are originally from Dallas, Texas. Pam’s husband was a career naval officer in San Diego and Pam owned a medical transcription service. After retirement they moved to Johnstown, Colorado when her husband took a position with the Department of Energy.
A friend in California owned a Hyundai Sonata which Pam loved. She purchased a used Sonata after moving to Colorado from a non-Hyundai dealership. Pam loved the Sonata but was not happy with the attitude or service she received. She came to our dealership where she says she could not believe the difference in customer service.
“I just love Alex the service manager and the whole department has been so easy to
work with and they look out for my interests. I have referred many of my friends
to get their service done at the Hyundai of Greeley even if they don’t own a Hyundai.
Even my husband takes his Ford truck to Hyundai for servicing.”
Pam purchased a 2018 Hyundai Accent but when she saw the new Hyundai Kona on the road one day, she said “I just loved it and had to have it”. When she came in to purchase a red Kona with a black roof which was the last one like it on the lot, another customer was considering “her Kona”. Pam said she was on pins and needles waiting to see what they would do and they purchased it!
After consultation with Scott Adler, her sales consultant, Pam decided to purchase a Sunset Orange and put a black wrap on the roof. She was delighted with results, “I actually found I like the Sunset Orange better, and the roof wrap looked amazing! This is what I love about this dealership, they listen and try to make customers request happen!”
Thank you, Pam, for choosing Hyundai of Greeley! We appreciate you too!

He believes success in his position is achieved by listening to the customer, understanding their concerns and most of all treating them with respect while addressing their needs.
What Russ likes the most about his job at Hyundai of Greeley is the opportunity to help people solve problems. “What is going on with my car?” is an exciting question for Russ “The process of finding the answer and helping my customers makes day!” Russ’s approach is part of the reason our service department has been rated #1 in customer satisfaction three years and running.
What are Customers saying about our Staff?
“I happily posted my review on Google and Yelp, but I want to reiterate that working with Josh went above all my expectations. I made the drive from Aurora to Greeley just for the chance to test drive a 2016 Santa Fe Sport that you had on your lot. When I arrived, Josh had it parked right up front waiting for me. During my test drive, Josh had an answer for every question I threw at him and if he didn't know, he immediately found out for me. Josh, thank you very much for everything and I love my new car!”
Sincerely,
Brandon Bushnell

It's a day of thanks for the valor of others, a day to remember the splendor of America and those of her children who rest in this cemetery and others. It's a day to be with the family and remember.” This quote best sums up the way we feel about Memorial Day at Hyundai of Greeley

CAR TIP OF THE MONTH!
What makes replacing the crush washer important?
This month I want to stress the importance of replacing the Crush Washer on your drain plug during your oil changes. When draining your oil, the drain plug bolt is removed which lets the oil drain from your engine. When we reinstall that drain plug bolt to the vehicle, we always replace the soft aluminum crush washer that sits between the drain plug bolt and oil pan to ensure a perfect seal. When that bolt gets tightened down, it creates a one of a kind seal to the oil pan that cannot be reset perfectly as the washer is already compressed. Not replacing the crush washer is one of the most common causes of an oil leak, which can cause a catastrophic engine failure. Scheduling your service with Hyundai of Greeley will ensure you never go without and get your new crush washer correctly installed.
