Employees are very rude after you get the vehicle bought. When you go to the service manger with concerns they just say your overreacting and blow you off.

Came in one day for a appointment set-up, had two vehicles that needed maintenance and the staff made sure I could do both in one day, like I had requested and it was like no issue for them. Only thing was I had two different times, but I was good with that. I thank the staff for making it easy as possible for me.

I can't say enough about the high quality of customer service we received recently when our vehicle had a major factory parts failure. The initial decision was that the parts failure was going to not be covered but the vehicle only had about35,000 miles on it. Needless to say we had serious concerns and told our service rep Jen about it. She took the time research our warranty and went out of her way to double check our warranty once again. The end result is that our warranty did actually cover the defective parts and we paid nothing for ... Read More

We had a great experience at Don Franklin Hyundai in Lexington. The showroom is beautiful and they had several options of the specific vehicle we were interested in. In fact, I'd say that this dealership has one of the best selections in the state. We passed at least 2 dealers to get to this one. Our sales person, Chad, was patient and great to deal with.

Brent McCloud provided excellent customer service. He assisted me with getting into a vehicle I loved even though the original one I was looking at was already sold. We were able to work out a great deal entirely through text before making the hour drive to the dealership. Definitely one of the best car-buying experiences that I have been a part of.

Don Franklin Mitsubishi is a fantastic dealership with knowledgeable salesmen.. my salesman was Josh Fire and I had a phenomenal experience dealing with Josh. He was friendly but more importantly he was knowledgeable and very patient. I extremely appreciated his laid back personality. He is from Nicholasville, his family lives there, so he is not going anywhere. It is so meaningful in today’s times that you know you can count on someone being in your corner when you need help. Josh Fite is that very man. Thank you for the great experience.

To start, my past experience was good with Don Franklin, but this time I was never really asked what I was looking for in vehicle by salesman, I was just suggested a vehicle because the one I originally looked at was at a different lot. At no point in time was I asked what I was looking for in a vehicle (I assume the sales person would’ve asked qualifying questions) I traded in a Jeep Cherokee, so AWD definitely would’ve been a ideal. I also came in looking at 2024 models because of special lease promotion. But I was ... Read More

He was incredibly knowledgeable, PATIENT, and genuinely listened to my needs without any pressure tactics.

This is our second car purchase from this dealership. I have to say, it was even better than the first 5 years ago. The dealership was great. Our Salesman Ben was a perfect fit for us. Down home and friendly like family and we thoroughly enjoyed dealing with him. From salesman to manager to finance, we were treated respectfully, which goes a long way for my wife and I. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a vehicle to give this dealership and it's people a chance. And as a footnote: Ask for Ben !!!

Rip off Dealer. Filed a complaint with the BBB. No response from the rip off dealer. Dodge service Dept is the worst from the service writer that is stuck in the Woodstock area too the service manager that is a full flat out lier to the tech that said I need a $4500,00 exhaust. What a disgrace. Took it to a local shop in michigan and they found and fixed a broken ground wire for the computer. Truck is fixed and it was only $212,00. Not 4500.00 plus labor. Still no response from the owner of Don Franklin or Woodstock.
