May was a busy and exciting month here at Garvey Hyundai! From community events and pet-friendly fun to big savings and giving back, we loved getting to connect with so many people throughout the month.
Pet Fest Success
One of the highlights of May was attending Pet Fest on May 17th! We had an amazing time meeting local pet lovers, handing out goodies, and talking with everyone who stopped by our booth.
We were blown away by the turnout — over 140 people entered our raffle for a pet-themed prize basket! Congratulations again to our winner, Amanda from A&A Doggy Daycare! We’re so excited the basket is going to a fellow local business that cares so much about pets.
Throughout the event, we also gave away plenty of pet goodies and accessories, making it a fun day for both people and their furry friends.
Stuff the Trunk Event Gives Back
This month, we were proud to host a successful “Stuff the Trunk” donation event at our dealership. Our showroom Santa Fe quickly filled up with generous donations of dog and cat supplies from our amazing community.
From food and treats to toys and other essentials, every donation will help support a local animal shelter and the pets in their care. Seeing the Santa Fe packed with supplies was a great reminder of how supportive this community is when it comes to helping animals in need.
A-MAY-ZING Tent Event & Memorial Day Weekend Sale
May also brought some incredible savings opportunities with our A-MAY-ZING Tent Event and Memorial Day Weekend Sale. Customers stopped by to shop special offers, explore our inventory, and take advantage of seasonal deals throughout the month.
Whether guests were searching for a new Hyundai, upgrading their current vehicle, or visiting for service, we loved helping everyone find something that fit their needs.
Pet Accessories on Sale All Month Long
To continue the pet-friendly theme throughout May, our Parts department featured special pricing on select pet accessories during the month. From travel-friendly pet products to accessories designed to help keep your vehicle clean and organized, it was the perfect opportunity for pet owners to gear up for summer adventures with their four-legged passengers.
Thank you to everyone who visited us, participated in our events, donated supplies, or stopped by to say hello this month. We’re grateful to be part of such a supportive community and can’t wait to see what summer brings at Garvey Hyundai!

If you’re looking to save money at the pump, reduce emissions, or make the switch to electric driving, Hyundai offers one of the most advanced and diverse lineups in the automotive world today. At Garvey Hyundai, drivers in the Capital Region can explore everything from ultra-efficient hybrids to cutting-edge all-electric SUVs and sedans—all designed to fit different lifestyles, budgets, and driving needs.
Whether you’re commuting daily, running errands around town, or planning long road trips, there’s never been a better time to go fuel-efficient.
Why Fuel Efficiency Matters More Than Ever
With fluctuating gas prices and growing interest in sustainability, more drivers are prioritizing vehicles that offer:

As the weather warmed up and spring officially arrived, April was a busy and exciting month here at Garvey Hyundai. From seasonal savings to community engagement, we loved connecting with both new and returning customers throughout the month.
Vehicle Buy Back Event w/BoDizzlez
Our Vehicle Buy Back Event was a huge success! Guests had the chance to receive competitive offers for their current vehicles—no purchase necessary—while connecting with our team in a relaxed, welcoming setting. To make the event even more memorable, local favorite BoDizzlez Food Truck joined us on-site, serving up crowd-pleasing bites that kept everyone fueled while they explored their options. It was the perfect mix of value, community, and fun, and we’re grateful to everyone who came.
Glens Falls Community Clean-Up Day
We were proud to take part in the City of Glens Falls community clean-up day this April, joining neighbors and local organizations in giving back to the place we call home. Part of our Internet team spent the day helping pick up litter, freshen up public spaces, and contribute to a cleaner, more welcoming environment for everyone. It was a rewarding experience to step outside the dealership and work alongside the community, reinforcing our commitment to not just serving Glens Falls—but supporting it in meaningful ways.
Best of the Region Recognition
We’re incredibly proud to have been nominated in nine different categories for this year’s Post Star: Best of the Region awards, a true reflection of the dedication and effort our entire team puts into serving our customers every day. In addition, we were especially excited to see two of our sales consultants recognized in the running for Best Salesperson in the Region, highlighting the exceptional level of care and expertise they bring to every interaction. With voting open from April 1st through April 22nd, we’re grateful to everyone who took the time to support us and show their appreciation. Now we’re waiting for results to come in on May 1st!!
Deliveries & Happy Drivers
Nothing makes our team happier than seeing customers drive off in a vehicle they love. April was filled with exciting deliveries—from versatile SUVs to dependable pre-owned vehicles.
Our team worked hard to ensure every customer had a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish. Whether it was a first-time buyer or a returning customer, each delivery was a moment worth celebrating.
Looking Ahead
As we move into May, we’re excited for what’s next at Garvey Hyundai!
We’ll be looking forward to the Best of the Region results, which will be announced on May 1st, and we’re grateful for all the support that got us here. Later in the month, you can also find us out in the community at Pet Fest in Glens Falls City Park on Sunday, May 17th from 11am–4pm.
