Libertyville Happy Hyundai
Buyer beware: this dealership disappears the moment the sale is finalized. We bought a 2026 Hyundai Kona here in July 2026. Before the sale, we were told the College Graduate Discount could still be applied once my daughter's employment offer letter came through, since it wasn't ready yet. We went ahead with the purchase based on that. When the letter arrived in early August and we submitted it as instructed, the dealership suddenly claimed the discount required being written into the contract at purchase — something we were never told beforehand. What followed was two months of total silence. We reached out to the finance manager, sales rep, general sales manager, and sales manager repeatedly, met with management in person, and even sent a certified letter to the general manager that USPS confirms was delivered. Not one response, at any level. The lesson: they'll treat you great while you're signing paperwork, and vanish the second you actually need them to follow through on what they promised. Get everything in writing before you sign.
Luis worked with me to get the car I wanted for the price I could pay.
Sales Management Team unprofessional and needs more training on communicate with customers. The worst experience compared to the multiple dealerships I have never had a manager run away and hide from me because Tod a scheduling issue. Completely Unprofessional.

Unprofessional management Ripped off people’s I don’t recommend to anyone to do business with this company Very unprofessional management and staff shameful service
Purchase 2 weeks ago 2nd key not received yet, before delivery the new suv no explanation
We went to Happy’s Hyundai in Libertyville to look at a used Palisades that was listed on their website and cars.com for $41,300. After a test drive we felt like it was the perfect vehicle at the perfect price. We went in to negotiate and buy the vehicle. The long story short is that they never intended to sell the vehicle for that price. They said they would not and could not sell us the vehicle without certifying it because of the low miles. We explained we did not want it certified, but the manager that came over said the best price they could do was over $45,000 which included the certification. We left because we felt like this was fraud, deception and the old bait and switch. Please beware about buying a vehicle from this dealership.
Safety issues lack of concern for customers I have previously given this dealer several 5 star reviews. We purchased the vehicle new in December 2023. We also purchased the “special VIP” pack that guaranteed priority services and loaner vehicle. Unfortunately something has changed significantly at Happy Hyundi of Libertyville. We brought our vehicle in for service and it was found to have a broken coupler. The part needed to be ordered, which is understandable. The vehicle is 2 years old with 28k miles so it will be covered under warranty to a limited degree. They will replace the broken coupler but we must pay for the alignment that is needed after warranty work. My wife asked if it was safe to drive and was told yes no issue whatsoever. The problem seemed to be getting worse. When we researched broken coupler all sources said do not drive and it is a safety issue. After several phone calls to the dealer they agreed to send us loaner car and they would “drive” the Palisade back to the dealership. The porter was to have the vehicle to our house no later than 10 am the next morning. We received a phone call at 9:a 45 asking if we wanted to reschedule the drop off because the driver was stuck in traffic with the car. We said no as we needed the car. 1 1/2 hours latter he showed up at the house. The car was filthy dirty, see pictures. Again after several calls and to the dealership and several hours we were able to get a replacement vehicle that was at least washed and vacuumed. They extreme lack of detail and concern for safety issue unacceptable. Additionally this dealership must be restricted on the number of phone calls they are allowed to place because they very rarely return phone call. It seems calls to the sales managers help to get any movement or resolution.
Worst dealer for service. 2 hours for oil change and tire rotation. I'm done with them
This place claims to offer a price match guaranty and requires you to come to their dealership with the written offer. I felt a scam coming, so I refused to come in but provided them the written offer, and they (of course) refused to match it. When I held their sales manager Abel accountable to hold up their end of their promise, he accused me of bullying him and claimed the offer I had wasn't valid because it wasn't signed. I sent them the signed offer to no response. This is a dealership that gives car dealers a sleazy reputation, which is shameful since so many dealers are honest, hard working people. I would not recommend working with this dealership.
Horrible sales experience! We ended up going to a different town and different dealership to buy. Our test drive included a disruptive salesperson in the back seat so we couldn’t privately discuss anything without him chiming in. We’re in our 50’s with flawless driving records. Do we need an escort?!!, Our sales rep was “roachy” and relies on high-pressure tactics rather than letting the car speak for itself. We even had to wait for the store manager to supposedly “Thank us for coming in” when in reality, he asked, “So what time will you be back tomorrow?” (Um. NEVER!). If I didn’t know better, I would think they were filming a spoof on how not to get one’s business.
Zero stars should be an option. Purchased a car in September with the intention of shipping overseas. I was told the title would take 6-8 weeks. No vehicle can be shipped overseas without a title. The sales and finance team were well aware of these plans and knew we needed the title quickly. I received endless emails asking for referrals for their dealership but not a single update on my paperwork, which was delayed. It took multiple phone calls over a 2.5 month period to finally get the paperwork submitted. Once received by the state of Illinois, the title was issued in just over 2 weeks. A three month delay due to... I have no idea because no one ever gave me a straight answer or taken ownership of their fault in the matter. Save yourself the hassle, take your money and business elsewhere.
I purchased a palisade from Hyundai Libertyville a couple years ago and bought out my lease so decided to purchase some warranties. At the time I was told I could cancel them at any time. Since, we've had some car issues and none seemed to be covered under the warranties we decided to cancel the warranties. I called to cancel and was told I had to come in person to sign paperwork. Fine. I went in person on 6/20/24 to sign papers. I do not live close. Today it's 8/22/24. After going in person and calling 7x, they still have not canceled my warranty. I'm still paying monthly. No one will return my calls. This is so unprofessional. While we really like the Palisade, I will never be back to this dealer.
Recently bought a used car from this shop. We noticed that it had some scratches from what looked like a minor side swipe on one side. Before agreeing to purchase, we asked if those scratches could be removed, otherwise we were not interested in the car. We were told yes, no issue. We came back to pick up the car over the weekend, but before doing so, my husband called to confirm the scratches were removed. We were told yes, they were taken care of. We show up to pick up the car and the scratches were still there. They then took the car to their detail center and said all fixed. I asked if they were going to come back the second the car was washed and was told No. Went to get the car washed today and guess what magically re-appeared, all of the scratches. So now we have to take this car to a body shop. Very unsatisfied with their service. They meet all the stereotypes of used car salesmen. Would never use unless you like being lied to.
I am quite pleased with the ease Libertyville Hyundai provided to setup the appointment online.
Came in for regular service, was taken care of by Anthony. He was exceptional! Went out of his way to explain things and be helpful. Thank you Anthony!!

Your Hyundai Dealer Near Familiar Lake County Landmarks
We sit on Milwaukee Avenue on the south side of Libertyville, so the store is easy to reach from the places you already drive to every week.
Downtown Libertyville and Adler Park
Head south on Milwaukee Ave from downtown's shops and restaurants and you'll reach us in a few minutes. Families coming from Adler Park and the north side of town can take Milwaukee Ave straight down.
Independence Grove Forest Preserve
If you spend weekends biking or paddling at Independence Grove, you're a short drive up Milwaukee Ave from the store. It's also a good spot to picture how much cargo room you need for bikes, kayaks and coolers.
Hawthorn Mall in Vernon Hills
Shoppers coming from Hawthorn Mall and the Vernon Hills retail corridor can follow Milwaukee Ave (IL-21) north to reach us. Combine a service visit with errands nearby.
Six Flags and Gurnee Mills
From the Gurnee entertainment and shopping district, Milwaukee Ave and I-94 both lead south toward Libertyville, so a test drive fits easily into a Gurnee errand run.
Communities We Serve Across Lake County and the North Shore
Here's how drivers from nearby towns usually reach us, and the Hyundai models that tend to fit their routines.
Libertyville
Local drivers are minutes away on Milwaukee Ave (IL-21) or Park Ave (IL-176). The Tucson and Elantra suit Metra station runs and in-town errands.
Mundelein
Take IL-176 or IL-60 east to Milwaukee Ave. Growing families often compare the three-row Santa Fe with the two-row Tucson.
Vernon Hills
Follow Milwaukee Ave (IL-21) north. Commuters like the efficiency of the Tucson Hybrid and Elantra Hybrid for stop-and-go traffic.
Gurnee
Come south on Milwaukee Ave or use I-94 and IL-176. The Kona is an easy fit for Grand Ave traffic and tight parking lots.
Waukegan
Head west on IL-137 (Buckley Rd) or IL-120, then south to Milwaukee Ave. The Sonata and Elantra are practical, efficient daily drivers.
Grayslake
Use IL-137 or IL-120 to reach Milwaukee Ave. Lake-and-trail families often look at the Santa Cruz for its open bed and HTRAC all-wheel drive availability.
Lake Forest
Take IL-60 (Townline Rd) west to Milwaukee Ave. The Palisade brings three-row room with an upscale cabin on upper trims.
Lake Bluff
IL-176 runs west from Lake Bluff straight into Libertyville. The IONIQ 5 makes sense if you can charge at home and mostly drive locally.
Buffalo Grove
Drive north on Milwaukee Ave or IL-83. Shoppers comparing hybrids often test the Santa Fe Hybrid against the Tucson Hybrid.
Wauconda
Follow IL-176 east through Mundelein. Drivers on rural Lake County roads like the Tucson with HTRAC all-wheel drive for winter grip.
Lake Zurich
Take IL-22 east, then north on Milwaukee Ave, or use IL-176 east. Larger households compare the Palisade Hybrid and Santa Fe.
Highland Park
Head west on IL-22 (Half Day Rd) or IL-60, then north on Milwaukee Ave. The three-row IONIQ 9 is an electric option for North Shore families.
Round Lake
Come south through Mundelein on IL-83, then east to Milwaukee Ave. The Venue and Kona are easy-to-park choices for first-time buyers.
Hyundai Vehicles for Life in Lake County
Lake County Winters
Snow, slush and road salt are part of life here. Look for HTRAC all-wheel drive, heated seats and a heated steering wheel on equipped trims, and Hyundai Blue Link remote start (where equipped, with an active plan) so the cabin warms up before you leave.
Chicago and Metra Commutes
Whether you drive the Tri-State into the city or just to a Metra station on the Milwaukee District North line, a hybrid or EV can cut fuel stops. The Elantra Hybrid, Sonata Hybrid and Tucson Hybrid are popular commuter picks.
Weekend Trips to Wisconsin
I-94 puts Wisconsin lake towns within easy reach. The Santa Fe, Palisade and Santa Cruz offer room for gear, and properly equipped models can tow small trailers; ask us for the exact rating of the vehicle you choose.
Family Carpools and Sports
Three-row SUVs such as the Santa Fe, Palisade and IONIQ 9 handle carpools, hockey bags and grandparents on Sunday. Two-row Tucson and Kona models are easier to park at busy schools.

From the compact Venue and Kona to the Tucson, three-row Santa Fe and Palisade, plus the Santa Cruz with its open bed.

Libertyville Happy Hyundai Frequently Asked Questions
QWhich new Hyundai models can I shop in Libertyville?
We carry the current Hyundai lineup, including the Venue, Kona, Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade and Santa Cruz, the Elantra and Sonata sedans, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, and IONIQ electric vehicles. You can filter our new inventory online by model, trim and features, then call sales at 224-207-7201 to confirm a specific vehicle.
QHow do I find the right Hyundai for my needs?
Start with how many seats you need, how far you drive each day and whether you can charge at home. Two-row buyers usually compare the Kona and Tucson, families look at the Santa Fe and Palisade, and commuters often lean toward a hybrid or the IONIQ 5. Our team can line up a few options for back-to-back test drives.
QWhich Hyundai models are good for first-time buyers?
The Venue, Kona and Elantra are easy to drive and park and come with Hyundai SmartSense driver-assistance features. A Hyundai Certified Used Vehicle is another smart first car because it adds an inspection and Hyundai warranty and roadside coverage. Check our specials and budget-priced used inventory for current options.
QShould I finance or lease my new Hyundai?
Leasing typically means a lower monthly payment and a newer vehicle every few years, with mileage limits. Financing builds equity and suits drivers who keep vehicles longer or drive many miles. Our finance team can show both side by side, and you can apply online before you visit.
QCan I get Hyundai financing if my credit isn't perfect?
Our finance team works with a range of lenders and can review options for many credit situations, though approval and terms depend on each lender's decision. A larger down payment, a trade-in or a co-buyer can help. Start with our secure online application so we can review your options before you arrive.

QHow much does routine Hyundai maintenance cost?
Cost depends on your model, mileage and which items are due on Hyundai's maintenance schedule. Our service advisors can quote the exact services your vehicle needs, and our service coupons can lower the price of common work such as oil changes and tire services.
