- After a brief scare that the Genesis gameplan of building brand new bricks an mortar standalone dealerships on Par with the likes of #bmw #mercedes #audi #lucid etc, has been thrown in the garbage, I discover what is really going on here. Welcome to Norwalk, Keeler Automotive!

Whenever seeing a beautiful building at a dealership, the first thing that comes to mind is I’m paying for this when buying or servicing my car. And there’s dealer installed items we don’t want inflating the price and haggling causing a miserable buying experience. That’s why I prefer buying direct from the manufacturer like Tesla or Rivian.
Agreed. This will save a lot for Keeler kinda like Tesla’s Fremont factory from Toyota 🤔
"I prefer to get shoddily-built vehicles and then I get to spend hours, days, weeks, and months trying to get someone to resolve all of the problems those vehicles have."
Love going to a dealership (any) on a Sunday and they’re closed have a real good look at what’s on offer without those pesky salespeople
I miss those Sundays. Living in California now and the dealerships are open every day.
All my driving life I’ve owned them all. Mercedes, BMW, Audi. On my third Genesis and could not be any happier.
Geez Dave. Have you changed your name to Karen.
Nope
I don't blame him for calling the manager to complain. The building and surroundings do not meet the branding and the expectations from Genesis.
@@outofspecdave1554 call Dave a Whambluance
The building is nice, but I guess they rushed the opening a bit by forgetting to do the landscaping properly.
But who actually cares about landscaping?
@@mikefleming8675 agree, its late spring very early summer and all Dave has to bitch about is a little landscaping? Seriously.
Have a gv80 with the 6 cylinder- going to the Tesla model y long range and I’m nervous because this car has me spoiled!!! Getting a heated massage on the way to work on a cold morning is so cool! But I’ve waited and waited for the MY. Waiting til the 25 refresh comes out and hoping to put down a very large down payment
Thanks for another interesting video, Dave. Really enjoying your channel.
looks like $1M compared to ALL the Tesla service centers in LA
....most down on Hyundai / Genesis haven't owned one in at least 8-10 years (talking with people who have had a bad experience). I've owned several Kia cars and most recently have a Hyundai Santa Cruz which I've not any issues with except a defect in the seat bottom of the passenger side seat which the dealer took care of no questions asked. You're still not getting a $100k S Class or 7 Series but you're not paying super high maintenance costs (after the included service runs out) or high parts prices. You're also not taking the butt kicking in depreciation either. Haters are mostly folks that want the brand cache and want to appear to be rich.
The depreciation on Hyundai/Kia/Genesis is brutal. Follow the market a bit, you'll see.
Thank You David for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste
🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤
Hi Dave! I grew up in Wilton, CT, only leaving the area once I left for college. I always love watching your 'local' drive content as I have spent the last 35 years of my life on the west coast, in Oregon, and I only get to see the area I built all my early life memories in through your videos. Next time you're out for a sunny day drive on camera, could you consider heading down to the Wilton / Ridgefield area? It is absolutely beautiful (as is Fairfield County in general). Thanks for the content!
Are you going to get some drone footage of the new site? Make sure the landscaping is on point
Key owns Genesis in Milford, Balise in Fairfield, Keeler in Norwalk. I agree with you that's a lot of Genesis dealers in a small radius.
Same deal here in WA.. the EV Genesis dealer has been in a series of 3 temporary locations while there ‘official’ space gets built out.
1 EV trained and certified dealer for the entire state.. service appointments are a month out. Gonna be amazing eventually, but right now at first glance it all appears a bit makeshift and amateur hour.
I guess we are just getting one here in the Buffalo area. Hopefully itll be a bit better than that opening lol.
It may be that after the new building is finished they'll focus on that while still maintaining the existing location and perhaps put some additional money in to it - depending on how large the service center is that could be a focus of that location as well (selling new, some used, but mainly servicing cars in the area).
My local (Central Ohio) Genesis dealership is miles worse. I bought a G70 8 months ago and I absolutely love the car but it was the worst buying experience I've ever experienced. My service experience since has been just as bad. Makes it hard to recommend to others.
That’s a nasty clipbait headline, Dave. You proved that in your own video.
OMG, Cathy has a GV60. Is it new? Does it have messaging seats? Is it her daily now? I have an Ioniq6.
You completely twisted the situation into a clickbait title. Subaru leaves for their new building and THEN Genesis takes over as a temporary location. Needing a landscaper isn't "so bad, Subaru moved out"
Genesis in a used building surrounded by weeds, sounds right to me.
Again, if you are a Mercedes customer you are NOT looking at Genesis. Stop comparing the two.
The one near me is brand new ground up and quite large. Looks a lot like the one you showed in Milford.
Elgin, IL has a very nice dealership. Bought our GV80 from them and their service is awesome
If it’s anything like our Genesis dealership here in SC, the service is just as bad as that landscaping.
Still doesnt beat the Vinfast dealer here In Montreal. Its in a former Saturn dealer that became Mitsu then Vinfast. Literally zero changed inside
Well some gardening to tidy it up and why not reuse a building for another dealership or other purpose not everything needs to be a new building.
So is this a hint a Genesis is your next big purchase?
The best dealership is no dealership.
You gotta see the genesis dealer here in Clermont Florida. Really nice. But it’s right next door to the Hyundai dealer
Genesis? In the beginning there was the word.
Nice haircut.
You say people buy their vehicles where they can get them serviced, but wait; Electric vehicles don't require much (if any) servicing.
I love my Genesis GV60
I will agree that the dealership model is broken but they have to play by the rules and politics that are in place (and have been for decades) - people don't understand that. Manufacturers CAN provide an easy, accurate, and transparent way to buy a new car - the dealers can still make a buck in the process with "destination" and actual value add products (not bogus things like undercoating or key replacement plans that cost more than a new key) - and where a customer wants to interact with a salesperson - most of us would prefer not to but some still do.
Dave could you get hold of a GV70 and GV80 electrified and do a review
What do you expect from Hyundai? They make crap. I bought a sonata once. It was a disaster. Never again. Scotty Kilmer did a video of a genesis with 100k miles vs Lexus. The genesis had a lot of wear on the cams. The Lexus had almost none. These are not well made products. Way too many dealerships for genesis. Not that popular.
All the EV dealers are moving in to your neighborhood because . . . YOU! Dave, you single-handedly drive EV sales wherever you are!
Now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are 😊
Dealers - no one needs them. Genesis is following an old model where customers pay for the fancy facility and face haggling. No thanks.
Unfortunately, until the laws in as many states change direct to customer from the manufacturer isn't going to happen - franchise laws "prevent it" - Tesla doesn't have to since they've never had a dealer network but Tesla can't be sold in some states because of it.
I bought a 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz and the only thing the dealer was used for was to take delivery - it was ordered through Hyundai's "concierge" - the dealership I chose called to confirm the choices and when it arrived they called to let me know it was in. I had arranged (through Hyundai) the loan and terms beforehand and to keep the transaction simple I sold (not traded) my other vehicle as a separate deal. I was in and out in about an hour and most of that was learning about the new vehicle. BTW I paid $1400 under MSRP and at 0.0% which at the time (Aug of 2021) was a pretty darn good deal (at or below MSRP for that vehicle)...
@@Scotty_in_Ohio Sadly, you can get even a better deal now on a 2025 Santa Cruz with more features. Lots of dealers are hurting.
Gotta love the random EV content from Dave. Enjoy the new M3 man.
Who cares about overpriced Genesis
Lol, no, Mercedes, BMW, Audi and the like are not the same buyers looking at Genesis.
They will always be a Hyundai with lipstick
I can't believe the Hyundai Genesis is still around. Lame cars.
You are out of your mind if you think most are cross shopping genesis with BMW MB etc…
If the customer hasn't owned a Merc or BMW or other luxury brands they very could cross shop - another scenario where they would is where they have been hit with very high repair or maintenance costs.
I'll grant you that if a luxury car owner leases or only keeps a car for a couple/three years then it's unlikely they would consider the Genesis brand.
Cross shop a Lexus with Genesis - I'd ALWAYS put my money on the Lexus - I noticed a Lexus on the lot - wonder if it was a trade from another dealer or bought at auction and is mainly used to compare when customers come in.
@@Scotty_in_OhioI didn’t say it was impossible I said I don’t believe it’s common.
clickbait 🫤
Subaru is dead.
🤖🤖 a tesla bot! nothing worse than tesla 3,y, x, s having a design 20yrs old~ 🤖🤖
who cares about the building a total waste of money. just build a basic warehouse service center and charging stations. lower the price of the cars. mercedes and such cars see people coming who do not know the value of money. they claim top quality. but they are cheaply built with a lot of maintenance costs. look at toyota or honda that is the proper way to build a car. mercedes and such 100k cars should be bullet proof for 20 years but they are terribly built.they make more money on the service center than selling the car.
