Customer Testimonials

Absolutely disappointed and furious with our experience at Don Franklin-Hyundai, Richmond Rd Lexington, KY. We purchased a brand new car that turned out to have serious mechanical issues after driving it for just more than 2 weeks. It got towed back to them. When we brought this to their attention, they flat-out lied to us, claiming we had no right to return or exchange the vehicle. Their reason was, the documents were already done and transferred to our name. Clearly the car qualifies as a lemon under consumer protection laws. Instead of standing by the product they sold and making it ... Read More DealerRater - May 12, 2025

Alexis Holland in the service department was very unprofessional and not helpul at all. Every time I went to tell her something she would just cut me off with some excuse as to why they couldn't do this or that very unfriendly definitely not what you need when your car is having trouble. My transmission was not shifting properly and wouldn't go into overdrive but she said oh well we cant drive your car over the speed limit and then she smugly said I would have to pay $170 fee to have the car looked at because it was ...

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. This is our second Hyundai but our first from Don Franklin in Lexington and we are very pleased with both the car and the dealership. I highly recommend the dealership and especially Chad who, ...

Good car buying experience!


Great service and follow up



Great experience. We had no idea we were going to buy a SUV that day. Chad did a great job.

In and out in 60 minutes! After explaining what I want over the phone salesman was ready next day with all information that I needed to close the deal. Buyback offer on my previous lease was fair, and financial part was a breeze. They didn't have the vehicle that I wanted in their lot (my wife wanted specific color) but they brought it in, within 60 minutes from their other location. Thank you Jamal and Don Frankin

Misty was an excellent salesperson and I really appreciated her for taking the time to help me to purchase my vehicle. She above and beyond to get me the best deal! Thank you Don Franklin for hiring people like her!


Had a great experience buying a new Elantra hybrid. Travis Huber made it happen for me. No pressure at all. The car is vastly exceeding my expectations 🙂 *have yet to experience the service department

1st time working with this dealership - great first impressions and service from sales staff


Great customer service!

Kanon was wonderful and the entire process was very simple and professional. Highly recommend anyone looking for a car to go see Kanon.

Marc was the best. He was very knowledgeable and courteous.

Kelvin was very easy to work with and went out of his way to finish the deal. I would buy from him and Don Franklin again.

Darryl bond and Ty Cobb was great pleasure work with and made it super easy process of car buying.

Misty is always professional and provides excellent customer service! I am a repeat customer and feel confident sending friends her way. Thanks again, Misty!


This makes our 4th purchase from Misty at Don Franklin Hyundai. I will recommend her 300 times. The absolute best salesperson there is!! If you need a Hyundai please go see Misty!!


My sales person, Jeff, very knowledgeable. Made you feel very comfortable. Walk you through the process step-by-step. When I need another vehicle, whether it is a Hyundai, Nissan...etc. Jeff will be my guy!!

Most of us have tried forex trading on our own and have lost a lot for reasons best known to us. Lack of proper skills, timing, and experience but here is an alternative to regain your lost funds by letting a reliable trader manage your account, she generates a profit of at least $10,000 profit with just $1000 in a week, profiting from Mrs. Sandra Billy she is an experience I reminisce on every time if you are interested in trading with her and to benefit from her skills reach her on email: [email protected] WhatsApp: +1 (512) 893-1587


Great place to buy a vehicle!

Kelvin was very good about explaining all the features on our new Tucson. He took time to make sure we understood everything

Ty Cobb was absolutely incredible, the GM (Detroit Cass tech High School)was incredible! The entire staff was absolutely incredible! Don Franklin Hyundai is off the hook. TY Cobb is the most patient person that I have ever met! WOW!

Chad listens to what I’m looking for. This is the 5th vehicle I’ve purchased from him.

This is my second time purchasing a vehicle from Don Franklin Lexington, and Chad Givens was the salesman both occasions. He is professional, thorough and super helpful throughout the entire process. Plus, he was very patient with me both times. It was another great experience. So, if you’re in the market for a new vehicle go see Chad, you will not regret it!!

Jamal and the Don Franklin Hyundai Lexington team were wonderful. Jamal was very knowledgeable and helpful in getting me the best deal for my car. He’s extremely personable and makes you feel welcome and at ease in a stressful situation. Thank you for everything!! Can not recommend Jamal enough!!

Awesome people


Had a awesome experience at Don Franklin

Excellent customer service! All sales personnel would benefit from Jamal’s expertise. It warms my heart to see a young man do his job with such politeness and kindness.



Excellent no pressure experience. Great team and very supportive during a big purchase.

I had a very pleasant and successful car buying experience at Don Franklin Hyundai on Richmond Road in Lexington. David Sharpe was my salesman. He was very professional and extremely attentive to all of my desires in a new vehicle. I highly recommend David and would go back to him for any additional business in the future.


Great job; friendly, responsive; listens; thorough


It was a great experience overall. Ty handled eveything extremely well from first contact to the vehicle delivery and I got a great trade-in value for my vehicle. I'd recommend Don Franklin Auto to all the people looking for their next vehicle.

Kannon and your team was great very nice and helpful, he should us everything with the car, the financial management was awesome had us in and out and gave us a great gift to keep the car clean , I would definitely recommend you all, and I’ll be back in the future to do business.

Best and easiest experience ever buying a car! Darryl couldn’t have done a better job

Great dealership to buy a vehicle. No problem finding the perfect model from their multiple locations. I found the perfect Palisade on their website, then a few hours later my wife and I drove away in a beautiful Hyundai. Our sales consultant David did a great job throughout the entire transaction-processing the trade in, financing options, and vehicle operation knowledge. No surprises when it came to the financing.

Excellent service in all phases of the Santa Cruz purchase from initial inquiry to driving the vehicle off the lot home.

Easy process, knowledgeable sales person

Today we spent the afternoon checking out new vehicle options at Don Franklin Hyundai. Trevor was great to work with! He was personable, made you feel comfortable and listened to our concerns regarding purchasing options. We finally made a decision following a couple hours of Trevor working out various alternatives based on our needs and wants.. We love our new Tuscon! Thank you, Trevor!

Charles Bush, Jr went above and beyond to find the perfect cars for my sons. He was very professional and provided excellent customer service.

Very good experience. Easy to work with and the buying process was very smooth


Great vehicles and customer service.


Recently purchased a 2023 Hyundai Palisade with the help of Kanon! He was able to take care of the typical hassle with ease through text, quickly move through paperwork while still taking the time to ensure I understood each piece. He was very understanding of our family having two kiddos present under 2, he even helped switch our car seats. He stayed as late as needed to provide a complete delivery of the vehicle since it does have all of the neat technology! I would recommend Don Franklin Hyundai to all my friends and family, and specifically Kanon as he provided a ... Read More Google - May 1, 2023

Kelvin was very helpful on finding my SUV he was great absolutely 💯 would come back and see him

Excellent

I had to come get a new car ASAP after mine was totaled in an accident, and Chad Givens was nothing but helpful. He helped me find a car in my price range that had the features I wanted. Hopefully I won’t need another one anytime soon, but if I do, Chad is the person I will be coming to first!

I worked with Kelvin at the dealership. He was so patient with me and provided a lot of information prior to me making a three hour drive for this car. At the dealership I felt supported and not pushed to make any decisions quickly. There were no surprises and the process was simple and easy. Highly recommend !

CJ Bush Jr., he did a wonderful job, meeting all my needs and expectations that I wanted in my new vehicle. He truly cared about finding what I wanted, and made it a wonderful experience. He answered all my questions and concerns, throughout. He is a great salesman!! I will be referring anyone I can to him!





Chad was an excellent salesperson. Very friendly and helpful. Was not pushy in anyway just to make a sale. I would recommend Chad to anyone looking to buy a vehicle.


It was great! Excellent customer service. Thanks!

Bryan made the buying process simple and stress free!


Nothing but great

Very pleased. Excellent service

Fantastic buying experience! David went on the search to find exactly what I was looking for & came through within just a couple days. It was seemless & stress free! 👍🏻👍🏻

My experience was amazing Darryl Bond did exactly what he said he was gonna do and I came home in my new vehicle. I put my faith and trust in his hands and was not disappointed. I recommend Don Franklin if your looking for a NEW OR SLIGHTLY USED VEHICLE.. 😉

Kanon worked very hard to find me just the right vehicle. I was very particular about what I wanted. He went out of his way to bet me a vehicle at another dealership an hour away! Everyone at the dealership was very friendly. Even the final paperwork people were very friendly and not pushy.

Really enjoyed the selection and purchasing process at Don Franklin. David Was knowledgeable and insightful. He assisted me in selecting my purchase. He is a positive young man who has great personal traits that he uses in the sales process. All the Don Franklin staff I’ve dealt with in 3 purchases now have been good people. Keep up the good work.


It was a pleasure working with Darry Bond. He was the consummate professional. I wasn't thrilled about having to pay a "market adjustment" over MSRP for a new vehicle and to trade in a vehicle at what I believed to be below market value in exchange for a negotiated adjustment, but I was treated with respect and not subject to high pressure sales tactics. The purchase process was smooth and relatively quick.

I purchased my third car from Chad Givens at Don Franklin Lexington Hyundai today. Previously I had owned a 2016 Accent, a 2020 Hyundai Tucson, and now a 2023 Tucson. Every time I tell Chad what I would like, he goes above and beyond to make it happen. There is no pressure to buy, no hidden fees, and he really works with you to accommodate what you need in a vehicle. Not only did he give me a group of vehicles to choose from that he thought I would like, but he also made sure the one I chose was detailed before handing ... Read More Google - Apr 13, 2023

Very helpful and attentive! Made the car buying process easy and painless!

Great service

Jamal was great to work with and I would recommend him to anyone.


The deal was so good I drove 7 hours to get it!. Kelvin was great, had things ready and texted me the next day to ensure I got home safely!


Kanon was my sales person. He did a great job finding the Genesis that I was looking for, and keeping me informed the whole time he was searching. Kalvin was my Tech Guy. He helped set up all the technology in my Genesis, and answered any questions I had while we were setting things up. Olivia was my financial person. She worked her magic on the keyboard. Adding more things, to my new Genesis, but kept getting the payment even lower. I had a great experience buying my Genesis because of these three people. Thank you all. I appreciate each ...

My experience with Don Franklin Hyundai was top tier! From the calls/texts with Leah, to the sales service provided by Jeff, and the explanation of all my Santa Fe features with Dawn. They really were patient, Jeff York made sure I left with a vehicle I'm happy with and was overall great to work with. I have already recommended them to people I know🙂

Dawn was a wonderful salesperson and highly recommended her to any potential customers

Jamal was great to work with! I had been in a car accident a few weeks previous and was on a time crunch to find a new vehicle. He helped in looking for a new SUV. I am now the proud owner of a Honda SUV for myself and daughter!

Trevor was very friendly and helpful with our car purchase. Outstanding customer service experience! We are very pleased with our purchase.

David Sharpe was awesome to deal with when buying my new car! Highly recommend asking for him, best car buying experience ever!!

I had a couple of bad, or at best questionable experiences at Don Franklin in the past (one in Somerset, one in Lexington). This day, I stopped in hoping to just see the car I was considering. When they had it there, Trevor got things done for me to get it. Although I was skeptical to start, he didn’t push anything towards me, he listened to the words I said, valued my time, and didn’t make me tell my girlfriend “these people don’t listen to or understand a word I say”, like other places have done during ...
