Auto Nation's acquisition of this dealer may enhance the experience. It is understaffed, and the location is too small to take care of customers in a timely manner. My wait for basic service included in my experience. It is understaffed, and the location is too small to take care of customers in a timely manner. My wait for basic service included in my purchase was over 60 days. Hyundai should offer to update the map software for free on every service. Hyundai's map software must be downloaded, and the customer must leave the car on for an hour to update. If this were a customer appreciation offer for doing business with auto nation, it would put them ahead of their competition. More
Had an appointment with the service department. Listened to other people complaining while in line. Then sat in the waiting room while the receptionist kept apologizing to people on the phone for Listened to other people complaining while in line. Then sat in the waiting room while the receptionist kept apologizing to people on the phone for their complaints about the poor service. Finally was told the part needed was not in stock, would be given an estimate of the cost of repair. That took over an hour as two people had to give input (one for the part, the other for the labor. All in all I was there from 7AM to 4 PM. Long day. More
I received by USPS a recall notification regarding the "Anti-Theft Software Upgrade. The instructions in the notification were well-written. I scheduled an online appointment for the NO CHARGE recall or " "Anti-Theft Software Upgrade. The instructions in the notification were well-written. I scheduled an online appointment for the NO CHARGE recall or "service campaign". The Service Tech was personable, and the recall service was completed within a few hours. Good job to all the staff at Carlsbad Hyundai. More
Service Rep Andrew was great. The Service Tech found the answer to our Apple Play problem that others over past 2 years could not. Kudos. The Service Tech found the answer to our Apple Play problem that others over past 2 years could not. Kudos. More
Since the switch to new ownership is still pretty recent I’ll go easy on them. My new car warned me my scheduled maintenance was coming up so I booked an appointment online only to find the soonest date was I’ll go easy on them. My new car warned me my scheduled maintenance was coming up so I booked an appointment online only to find the soonest date was 30 days out. Whatever. Brought the car in 10 min early and had to wait 30 min to give it to someone. They had my car all day, and it’s an electric so all they had to do was look at the brakes and maybe rotate the tires. I came back at 5pm to find out it didn’t get touched all day. The service rep was very sorry and offered to reset the maintenance reminder and gave me a free cabin filter next time I visit. Hopefully by then they’ll have gotten down a better process. More

I purchased my car at this dealership when it was North County Hyundai, and had it serviced there and also when it became Bob Baker. Good and Bad with new AutoNation group. Good: new Service Advisor Andrew County Hyundai, and had it serviced there and also when it became Bob Baker. Good and Bad with new AutoNation group. Good: new Service Advisor Andrew was nice, helpful, and professional and he'd even found a recall item on my car that had never come up when I was checking recall items with my VIN. All other service/mechanics staff great as well. Water bottles were once again offered in the lobby; there was also coffee and hot water (but I didn't see tea?). Bad: When I'd tried booking oil change service, I didn't know about the recent ownership change. No one answered the phone, it just kept going through menu/voice mail xxxx. Eventually I was able to book online via AutoNation's new website. I tried calling a day or two before my appointment just to confirm that the website booking had gone through. Again, no one answered the phone, even though I'd tried a couple of numbers listed. Luckily the website appointment was correct. The service dept has always been busy, but this was the first time it took 2 hours to get an oil change - it used to be done in an hour; hour and a half at the most. Also, previously you would receive a text message from the advisor so you could communicate if you had questions, status, etc., but there were no texts this time. In the waiting area, bathroom didn't have soap at the sink or toilet paper in one of the stalls and very little in the other one. I realize this is a new ownership group and it'll take time to work the bugs out. More
