## SCATHING REVIEW: Atlantic Hyundai Service Department - A Masterclass in Incompetence and Deception **STAY FAR AWAY.** My experience at Atlantic Hyundai’s service department wasn’t just bad—it was a c A Masterclass in Incompetence and Deception **STAY FAR AWAY.** My experience at Atlantic Hyundai’s service department wasn’t just bad—it was a cascading disaster of dishonesty, negligence, and outright contempt for customers. If you value your time, your vehicle, or your sanity, **RUN**. ### The Downward Spiral: 1. **Predatory Upselling:** Brought my top-tier Sonata in for a *simple software update*. Immediately, they tried hustling me for unnecessary new tires. Fine—annoying, but typical dealership behavior. Then came the first lie: "It’ll take 2 hours." 2. **3.5 Hours Later... Disaster:** Anthony (the face of this fiasco) emerges to announce they **bricked my car** during the update. It wouldn’t start. Their solution? A "rare" part was needed, with a **2-month backorder**. My premium sedan? Held hostage. Their "courtesy" loaner? A bare-bones Kona that felt like a golf cart. 3. **The Loaner Shakedown:** A month and a half into this nightmare, Anthony calls demanding the Kona back *immediately* because they "needed it for the sales floor." **Unbelievable.** They break my car, strand me for months, then try to leave me *completely* without transportation? I refused point-blank: "You get the Kona when I get MY Sonata back." 4. **The "Corporate Miracle":** After escalating to Hyundai Corporate and getting a case manager involved? **POOF!** Like magic, Anthony calls *the very next day*: "Good news! The part arrived and your car is fixed!" **LIES. ALL LIES.** There was no 2-month backorder. They sat on my car for weeks, only springing into action when corporate cracked the whip. This wasn’t service; it was **calculated negligence** until forced to act. ### Why They’re Unforgivable: * **They Created the Problem:** A routine software update **disabled my car**. Their incompetence started this. * **They Lied About Timelines:** The mythical "2-month part delay" evaporated under scrutiny. * **They Tried to Abandon Me:** Demanding the loaner back early showed zero regard for my needs. * **They Only Respond to Threats:** Accountability only exists here if you scream loud enough to corporate. * **They Treat Premium Customers Like Trash:** My high-end Sonata deserved better than being sidelined for a base Kona and bureaucratic limbo. ### The Verdict: Atlantic Hyundai’s service department is a toxic blend of ineptitude and deceit. They break cars, lie about repairs, abandon customers, and only fix problems when publicly shamed by their own corporate overlords. **They turned a 2-hour update into a 2-month ordeal and tried to make it MY problem.** **I AM DONE WITH HYUNDAI FOREVER.** And judging by the avalanche of 1-star reviews detailing similar nightmares? **I’m not alone.** Save yourself the rage and take your business literally anywhere else. Atlantic Hyundai Service doesn’t deserve your keys, your time, or your money. **Rating: 0/10** (If I could give negative stars, I would). More

CAUTION: Do Not Buy Extended Warranty from Atlantic Hyundai. Less than 10 yrs ago, my then-84 yr old mother bought a new Sonata from this dealer and paid $2200 for a 10-yr Platinum Wrap Warranty, which Hyundai. Less than 10 yrs ago, my then-84 yr old mother bought a new Sonata from this dealer and paid $2200 for a 10-yr Platinum Wrap Warranty, which has proved worthless. We recently brought the car to a Hyundai dealer in VA close to mom's new home. This dealer needed more details about the warranty beyond the insurer name, "CCC." I spent the next 90 minutes on the phone with Atlantic Hyundai, which confirmed that the warranty remains active and provided a phone number for CCC, which has no record of the warranty. For $2,200, I expected Atlantic Hyundai to intervene and contact CCC on my behalf, but they have refused to do so. I don't leave negative reviews lightly and left 2 messages for the General Manager of Atlantic saying I was prepared to do so but wanted to give him a chance to help. This was more than 24 hours ago, and I have not heard back, meaning this dealer clearly doesn't care. So, think long and hard before giving Atlantic your business. More

Had a great experience in the sales department getting my new transmission under warranty. Unfortunately my 60k mile 2021 Tucson needed a new transmission already, but with the 100,000 10 year power train wa new transmission under warranty.

Honesty and integrity does seem to be a problem at Atlantic Hyundai. I was looking for a 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy and asked a salesman if they had any on the lot. He told me yes (they didn't) Atlantic Hyundai. I was looking for a 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy and asked a salesman if they had any on the lot. He told me yes (they didn't) and I asked him to show me. The car he took me to was the color and interior I was looking for. So I said let's see if we can reach a deal and we did. I took delivery the next day. It as a week later after I got gas that I realized they hadn't sold me a hybrid. I immediately called them and told them of the mistake and they were not willing to fix it. I would like to think it a mistake on their part, but based on how they have responded, I don't think so, More

Just leased an Ioniq 5 and I love the car. I was hesitant about getting an EV first but the super fast charging speed and over 300 mile range was good enough for me to try this new trend. Atl I was hesitant about getting an EV first but the super fast charging speed and over 300 mile range was good enough for me to try this new trend. Atlantic Hyundai with all new managers, all new sales staff and especially my salesperson Rob made it extremely easy and pleasant leasing a new car. Great vehicle from the best dealership I have purchased a car from!!! I am very happy about the whole experience!!! More

All they would do was cut the rotors not even change the pads rotors. Nothing they cut the rotors for me. I drove it out of the dealership halfway home the car was still vibrating I called and they said that’s the best they can do for me took it to a real shop front rotors and pads needed to be changed the rear rotors Were still OK he said but they shouldn’t have cut them. They should’ve changed them. That’s an honest place and it cost me out of my pocket almost $400 which Hyundai should paying me back for. Also, there’s a technical service bulletin known as a TSB on these vehicles where your radar cameras come on, and they say they’re blocked this dealership tried to tell me my bumpers were changed because of an accident, which is totally false the bumper had a scratch and was repainted a scratch, and was never changed or removed from the vehicle which it should’ve been Painted properly but it was not removed. They wouldn’t fix it. They said it’s no longer under warranty. Well that’s funny because another Hyundai dealer told me to bring it in and they will take care of it for me. That’s the dealership I’ll be dealing with out, and Selden. This place has a reputation of ripping people off as well stay far away from this awful place , anything to do with the first name Atlantic run for your life More
