Omar Castillo

A few months ago, I dropped my vehicle off for an oil change. My service advisor was Omar and was very nice and professional. When I returned later that day to pick up the vehicle, I did a walk around be change. My service advisor was Omar and was very nice and professional. When I returned later that day to pick up the vehicle, I did a walk around before leaving the lot and observed a small chip in the paint on the rear bumper. I walked back into the service area and spoke to Omar to advise him of damage. I requested to review the photos he took of my truck when I dropped it off to see if maybe the damage was there at the time. We both reviewed the photos and did not see the damage. Omar took more photos of the damage and said he was sending them to his manager. He then told the dealership would repair the chip and requested that I return on later that week. When I arrived I spoke to Omar again. He explained that the manager had instructed him to give me a paint chip pen, explain how to use it, and that would satisfy the issue. This was cause for concern to me because I have not seen great results from using paint pens. I asked Omar if one of the service technicians could repair the damage and also what would happen if I wasn’t satisfied with the repair. Omar explained that we could discuss with the manager after the repair if there was still an issue. Later when I picked up the vehicle, I inspected the damage and observed it was still very noticeable. Omar was unavailable so I spoke to a different service advisor named KJ, who was also professional. I explained the entire situation to KJ and he inspected the damage with me. KJ offered to get the service manager to discuss the matter. I was then introduced to Pete the service manager. Pete was noticeably angry the moment he stepped out of the building, so I tried to diffuse the situation by introducing myself and shaking his hand. He was rude and yelled at me without prompt. He told me that the dealership wasn’t going to repair my vehicle because I couldn’t prove they damaged it. Pete then claimed the damage to my rear bumper that wasn’t in the pictures at drop off was likely a rock chip. KJ stood by during the interaction and wouldn’t even look up from the ground, presumably over how his manager was acting. I explained my point, but Pete insisted I was talking down to him. I realize the conversation wasn’t going to be productive so I requested to talk to Pete’s manager. Pete said his manager Jeremiah was unavailable. Pete refused to give me a contact number for Jeremiah, but did provide an email for him. I called the dealership’s main number that same day because I didn’t believe that Pete was telling me the truth. I was informed that Jeremiah was in fact off of work and the person on the phone took my contact information and said they would leave it on Jeremiah desk. I waited 2-3 weeks and never got a call from Jeremiah. Then I decided to send him an email. I gave him my contact information and requested that he respond to the email so that we could set up a convenient time for both of us to discuss the issue. Its been almost a month and I have still not heard back from Jeremiah. Note that I purchased this vehicle from Schomp Hyundai 2 years ago and I’ve been a loyal customer for the past 5-6 years to their service department. I’m so disappointed that they’re treating me like a liar and refusing to even call me about the damage to my vehicle and about how their manager treated me. If you decide to deal with Schomp Hyundai, know that if anything does not go smoothly, your concerns will not be taken seriously. I will be taking my business elsewhere. More

Service department: Very poor communication in terms of what the problem is with the vehicle, how much it will cost to fix, whether they will have the parts in stock, how long it will take to fix, wheth of what the problem is with the vehicle, how much it will cost to fix, whether they will have the parts in stock, how long it will take to fix, whether the vehicle is ready to pick up... pretty much every step of the way. I was told on one occasion that the problem would take a max of 3-4 hours to fix and that they would fit me in whenever I brought it back. Brought the vehicle in on Thursday, was told I could pick it up Friday or Saturday, had to call and text multiple times to find out that they hadn't even started it yet on Saturday at 4 PM... Finally got it back on Tuesday. Five days to do a few hours of work. More

In late September, I took my vehicle to Schomp Hyundai, as the engine light and 4 wheel drive light came on. The 4 wheel light went off, but the engine light remained. I advised Schomp of both issues. I al as the engine light and 4 wheel drive light came on. The 4 wheel light went off, but the engine light remained. I advised Schomp of both issues. I also asked if they could check the air conditioner for freon levels, as it wasn't dispersing cool air. I received a call from Schomp advising their diagnostics showed a code indicating the catalytic converter should be replaced, along with minor issues such as filters, etc. I had just gotten new brakes and new all season tires (elsewhere) and those issues did not come up on the diagnostics, nor did an issue with the AWD. Finally, I was advised they did not check the air conditioner (?). I paid for parts to have the catalytic converter replaced (approx $1700+), and would bring the car back after the parts had come in. At this point, neither the engine light, or the 4WD light was coming on. On October 23, 2024, I headed to Schomp for the work to be completed. At this time, after a few weeks, the engine light came back on again, as well as the 4WD light. When I dropped it off, I advised the Hyundai that these lights were on again, and asked if they could do a complete check of the sensors, as the vehicle, which I regularly maintain, was driving exceptionally well. Yesterday, on October 25, 2024, I picked up the vehicle around noon. When Schomp released the vehicle to me, after I paid a total of $2560+, the 4WD light was still on. I advised them of this, and they ran a diagnostics advising now the 4WD needed to be replaced, and that would be an additional $1000+. I was advised by Hyundai that it was only necessary to replace the 4WD if I was bothered by the light(?). Upon starting my vehicle, the 4WD light was off, and has not come on. Car still driving very well. This morning, driving in, I turned on heat, and now air conditioner light will not go off, nor does the AC emit cool air. Serious issues with Schomp and their practices, and will be taking my car elsewhere. More

I own a 2022 Hyundai Tucson, I purchased it at Schomp. I made an appointment for a big problem with my ABS braking system. I had an occasion to have to panic stop, the ABS xxxx near allowed me to crash I made an appointment for a big problem with my ABS braking system. I had an occasion to have to panic stop, the ABS xxxx near allowed me to crash into vehicles that were stopped at a blind corner. I took my vehicle into Schomp, had an 'appointment' at 11am on a Thursday. I took my car in and was told 'there will be a $180.00 'diagnostic' charge, to which I said, 'not for me there won't'. Saturday, two days later I called to see if my Tucson was finished. I was told, 'we haven't had a chance to get it in yet', two days after my appointment! I went to Schomp and picked up my car, never to return to this horrible service dept, where everyone is a 'manager', and no one apparently is. NO to Schomp! More

Really terrible experience. Got the runaround. Feel like they are tricky. I've been going there for years and my last few visits for routine maintenance have been terrible. I sa Got the runaround. Feel like they are tricky. I've been going there for years and my last few visits for routine maintenance have been terrible. I said I was never going back after the last time. I gave them one more try, not because I wanted to but because they were the only ones who could fix my problem. I'm sorry I went back. I was shocked at the way the service advisor spoke to me just in normal conversation. He dropped the F bomb at least three times plus other words that should not be used in a professional setting. Unless you are good friends. I just met this young man. It was downhill from there and I will never go back. I advise you to look elsewhere for your car repairs. More
