Watching Key Hyundai of Manchester grow before my eyes is super exciting! I can’t wait until January 2012, when we’ll be ready to roll: giving CT car buyers MORE value, MORE options, MORE solutions, MORE financing, MORE fun, MORE service – MORE of what you’re looking for in a nicer, newer car.
Unfortunately, we won’t have MORE cement-loving zambonis, even though the Dealer For The People soooooo wants to drive that thing! Come on dude, let me take it for a spin!
Hurricane Irene and Snotober power outages can’t stop progress at Key Hyundai of Manchester! We have walls! And a floor! And come this January 2012, we’ll have a brand new dealership that delivers MORE than you ever asked for: MORE service, MORE deals, MORE value, MORE comfort, MORE financing, MORE solutions, MORE fun!

Storms like this are not business friendly!
What a crazy week in Connecticut!
An October snowstorm dumped 15″ of winter knocking out power for most of the state and halting business – including Key Hyundai of Manchester.
Despite being under construction, despite going “old-school” with hand-written orders piling up for “anticipated power restoration dates” that never realized when promised, all was not doom and gloom at Key Hyundai of Manchester!
In fact, in my glass-half-full optimism, our parking lot was able to be paved, and construction of the new Key Hyundai moved at breakneck speed, much in part, unfortunately, due to the lack of foot traffic and customer shopping.
That said, our service department kept at it, servicing cars they could with what they had, amazing colleagues and thrilling customers with a results. Great job!!!
Sales plodded along, slower than slow, but each day, our staff showed up, ready to work, meeting and greeting our community and commiserating about the power outage, and test driving a few vehicles in the meantime. We made connections, sharing hope and tales of downed trees and blocked roads.
The power may have gone out, but our community remains strong! Now time to get back to business, full steam ahead, with MORE power, MORE energy, and MORE Connecticut nose-to-the-grindstone work ethic that will get our business moving and growing and thriving to bring MORE to Connecticut car buyers!
Woot! Our Connecticut Hyundai dealership is rocking and rolling in Manchester Connecticut!
The $2.5 million renovation project is really taking shape, right before our eyes! We’re talking walls, people! You can actually visualize the service bays, where customers will be treated with comfort and never brave the elements again! Yahooo! Can’t wait to see it finished, but must admit, it’s great fun watching it grow before our eyes. This is really happening!
Come see for yourself, because we are open for business, selling and servicing cars during the construction at Key Hyundai of Manchester, 21 Hartford Turnpike, on the Vernon | Manchester town line. Come watch us grow!
Trailer Days are Numbered! Construction ahead of schedule! Woot!
If you are already a Manchester Key Hyundai customer, watch your mail: there’s MORE where that came from! MORE postcards containing valuable coupons are hitting the mail with discounts off your bestest deal and great savings on service as well. Watch that mailbox, and watch your inbox as well; Key Hyundai emails contain the same deals!
And Key Hyundai is matching the mailbox with the in-box: every month customers who haven’t been in for service in…too long…are getting great deals to come on down! (oooh, little Price of Right voiceover!).
And MORE service is more than servicing your car: we’re providing personal service to you as well! Courtesy rides, loaner cars, coffee, tea & cookies! Wi-fi and car wash. Mostly, we’re living the MORE culture at Key Hyundai: tell us your situation, if we can do anything to be of MORE service, you can bet we’re going to do it!
Stop by Route 83 on the Connecticut town-line of Vernon and Manchester and watch us grow. We’re proud to be growing in Manchester, and are doing so to bring the CT car buying public more value, more choice, more options!
The new building is going up right before our eyes, and all I can say is WOW.
We recently put up additional banners announcing how the new Key Hyundai of Manchester will bring MORE to the community: MORE Value, MORE Service, MORE Solutions, MORE financing – MORE of what you need when looking to buy a nicer, newer car.
It’s true, and despite a bit of ribbing from competitors, we are selling cars out of trailers. LOTS OF THEM.
We’re open for business, and if you stop in today, you’ll see the trailers are not only getting the job done, but getting it done in comfort. Here’s a peek inside: but you must check it out for yourself.
Who would have thunk it? Our little ol’ Key Hyundai of Manchester getting this massive $2.5 construction renovation would create such mass hysteria in our little corner of Connecticut?
And while we’re selling plenty of cars and taking in more trades than I can even count, the business as usual model goes out the window as we watch our dealership on Route 83 in Vernon Connecticut grow! All to bring Connecticut MORE when looking for a nicer, newer car!
Concrete gets my heart all a’flutter! MORE concrete means more floor and more space and more comfort for more cars for more customers! Phew!
This concrete mayhem means only one thing: the construction of our Manchester Vernon Connecticut Hyundai dealership is moving along at breakneck speed. And this is exciting!
I so love this concrete smoothing icing-of-the-cake-except-it’s-the-floor lawnmower type thingy – somebody let me give it a whirl! Come on, just a quick spin around the dealership! I won’t screw up — promise!
Georgina Jones, New General Sales Manager of Key Hyundai of Manchester
Listen Up Connecticut!!! Good news from Key Hyundai:
Georgina Jones is up and running as the new General Sales Manager for Key Hyundai of Manchester.
Yes, the brave woman agreed to come on right in the middle of our massive$2.5 million construction project. Because, as you heard, we’re selling cars like candy bars out of trailers (rather nice ones, I must admit!) The trailers are only short term because…we’re on schedule!
In fact, we’re under budget and a teeny-tiny bit ahead of schedule (KNOCK ON WOOD!) and ready for the grand RE-opening of Key Hyundai of Manchester January 2012. With Georgina on board and at the helm to direct the growth, sales, and operations of Key Hyundai in Manchester, we are in tip-top shape!
For those of you not in the Hartford east of the river area, Key Hyundai of Manchester is in the midst of a $2.5 million renovation, doubling the Hartford area car dealer to provide more, more, MORE to the customer. And despite the construction, we’re selling tons of cars: brand, spanking new 2011 40 MPG Hyundais, and more Key-Certified Pre-Owned trade-ins than I ever dreamed possible. It’s a lot, but Georgina is ready for a lot! Already her impact is making a vast difference with the customers and staff.
“I started in the car industry right on the lot, back when very few women were in the business,” said Georgina Jones, new General Sales Manager of Key Hyundai of Manchester. “I moved to finance and insurance, then became F&I Director and Manager. I’ve worked at small family owned dealerships and huge conglomerates. Bigger is not always better!”
“I know this business inside and out,” said Jones, ”and know nothing is more important than the experience each and every customer has every time they walk through our doors. I’m here to make sure that experience is extraordinary, whether it’s sales or service or just plain ol’ window-shopping. Soup to nuts, customers is our #1 priority, day in and day out.”
Georgina says it all comes down to the customer experience. She wants to make car buying, car servicing, car financing smooth, comfortable, friendly and fun. She wants to know your name; she wants to remember your name. I love this woman!
Not to worry, the Key Hyundai staff you know and love (yes, I’m talking about the brilliant Tom!) is still here ready to help. He’s taking over Key Hyundai Manchester financing and insurance, a department near and dear to his heart, and one he is magnificent at.
Come on by and say hello! And check out the new building because we’re growing fast and furious at Key Hyundai!
