My wife has a 2020 Hyundai Veloster. It was recalled by Hyundai for possible piston ring breakage, which could cause catastrophic engine failure, resulting in engine replacement. Took it to the dealership Hyundai for possible piston ring breakage, which could cause catastrophic engine failure, resulting in engine replacement. Took it to the dealership for a required inspection of the engine. Nearest appointment was over two weeks wait. According to Hyundai, the inspection was supposed to take 1 hour. When the tech finally took the vehicle to his bay for inspection, it only took 20 minutes. I am not confident that the inspection was properly performed. Hyundai said the first indication that the engine was damaged due to the bad piston rings was excessive oil consumption. If that happened we were supposed to take it to the dealership immediately. The tech signed the inspection as cleared and gave my wife a copy and said if the engine does fail, don't worry, the dealership will replace it for free. When she came home from the dealership, I raised the hood and checked all fluids and lubricants, as I always do when one of my vehicles has been in a service shop. The vehicle, which just returned from the service department for an engine inspection was a little over 1 quart low on oil. I am surprised the engine low oil light was not on it was so low. How is it possible that a low mileage vehicle, being inspected for oil consumption issues, can come from the service department dangerously low on oil. I can only come to one conclusion and that is that the technician did not even do a physical inspection. No other explanation is possible. Due to this, I have no confidence in the service depart of AutoNation Hyundai Columbus. Most of their technicians are probably honest and dependable, but the one that released this vehicle so low on oil, should be terminated. I surely hope the engine does not fail, because they are the only Hyundai dealership for many miles around. I will be forced to take it to them for the engine replacement. This may explain the poor performance by the technician. It's a win win for him. Paid once for the questionable inspection and paid much more for engine replacement. More

I called all over the state of Alabama to get my sunroof repaired because it flew off due to a recall that Hyundai would not honor. No one could help me. I finally called Hyundai Columbus and the service Ma repaired because it flew off due to a recall that Hyundai would not honor. No one could help me. I finally called Hyundai Columbus and the service Manager Brennan was very helpful and made sure that he would take care of me and he did just that. More

Each time, they completed and charged me for unnecessary services that were unrelated to the known issue, and each time they assured me that it was safe to drive. Each time, they assured me that when the engine ultimately failed, they would replace it at no cost. I believed them. Finally, the engine seized. I had it towed, only to find out that they would not replace the engine as they'd assured me they would. The vehicle had been unsafe to drive, and they'd misled me about the repairs. Had they been open and transparent up front about options and safety, I would have been glad to work with them. More

Service was fine. Had longer due to a part ordered. What I don’t understand is when I called the dealership…told them engine light and oil light on and I was scared to drive it. The manager said it w What I don’t understand is when I called the dealership…told them engine light and oil light on and I was scared to drive it. The manager said it would be three weeks before they could see me. I told them I would see if I could see someone sooner. No luck. I tried calling back and could not get through so I booked online and got in NEXT DAY! Why if I go online I get in. When I went to dealership the next morning, there was no one in line for service…….No One! ????? Service guy I worked with was nice and kept me informed. More
