The service department was great! The service manager,James, was very helpful and informative when dealing with my car. Wyatt also assisted me throughout the process. I went in to the dealership manager,James, was very helpful and informative when dealing with my car. Wyatt also assisted me throughout the process. I went in to the dealership needing an oil change and a knocking I was hearing. When I went in on a Saturday they informed me they could do the oil change but not a diagnostic on my vehicle. I understood but also asked if the mechanic could just listen to my car because I was conceded about the knocking. Wyatt stated he would talk to the manager and they would call me back. Within a hour, I received the call that my car was “eating” engine oil, they did not recommend me driving it and they felt my car needed a new engine based on other make and models that were experiencing the same problem. I left my car for the weekend so they would be able to perform a diagnostic on it the following week. They informed me at the dealership there were approximately 70 vehicles already on the lot, needing new engines. Therefore, my vehicle was 71. It was explained to me that the dealership was only receiving 5 engines a week and they were down to 1 mechanic. I completely understood they needed time to repair the vehicle, however, the details that follows regarding a rental was disastrous. The service department explained that Hyundai only provided $40 dollars a day for rental reimbursement. This would be paid at the end of the vehicle being repaired. After researching several rental agencies in my area, the cheapest rentals were at least $90 dollars a day or more. After my vehicle being in the shop for an entire week and 3 phone calls to the dealership asking when my vehicle would receive a diagnostic and with no answers, I decided to drop into the dealership and talk to the manager. I spoke with David Richardson who was not helpful and condescending when we discussed the status of my car. He explained my car was last to be fixed due to the order of all the other vehicles, although my vehicle was under warranty. I explained that I needed Hyundai to provide an alternative vehicle while mine was in the shop. He stated that Hyundai did not provide loaner cars and they would only be able to provide me with $40 dollars a day for reimbursement. I explained I felt that was unfair considering rentals were $90 a day and I should not be responsible for an additional $50 dollars out of pocket. Especially since the damage to the vehicle had nothing to do with me. I explained this was the second brand new vehicle I had bought from Hyundai and that this vehicle was only 4 years old. He attempted to sell me another vehicle so that I would have a vehicle to drive. I explained to him, why I would not want to purchase another Hyundai when this was the second major issue with my vehicle. Previously, my car had a recall on the anti lock break system potentially catching fire. I was then informed that the problem I was having with my engine would be a potential 2nd recall for my vehicle, Hyundai had not released it yet. When I questioned Mr. Richardson on Hyundai’s quality of vehicle, he then asked me if I bought the vehicle not expecting any issues. Yes, I absolutely bought a brand new Hyundai not expecting any issues. Isn’t this the point of buying a new vehicle. After that conversation, I then requested the main office number. That night I put in an email complaint with a date of hearing back from someone in 3 to 5 days. I did not wait for that time frame so I called the next day. I placed a verbal complaint regarding my issues with the rental policy and the lady informed me that the national Hyundai representative would have the authority to increase the rental price or provide alternative transportation. She was unable to provide those services. When speaking with her, she stated that $40 was not the absolute best Hyundai could do that the rates were determined by the area where I live. She was very informative and understanding. She explained to me she would put my request in to speak to a national representative and I would hear from them in 3 to 5 business days. I learned at this time, there is no national number the general public is able to call. You are stuck waiting on them to call. After waiting 3 days, I called the customer service number back and they stated I had a national case manager assigned and that it would be just a few more days for me to hear from them. It actually took my national case manager 9 days to call me back. It took me calling the customer service number everyday and on some occasions twice a day in order to talk to my national case manager. Every single person I spoke to at the customer service level via phone, was very professional, understanding, helpful and kind. I have no complaints with each of these individuals because every single time I called they provided me with a little more information. Even when I would call the dealership and speak with James or Wyatt, they were helpful and understanding. It wasn’t until I received the call from my national case manager, Shemroy, when everything really unfolded regarding Hyundai’s true customer service. At first, Shemroy was nice. He offered me $65 dollars a day when I explained my concerns regarding the situation. My car was now at the dealership going on 3 weeks and not having an alternative vehicle was detrimental for myself and my family. I explained the rental situation in my area and he didn’t believe me so I provided the name and number to our local car rental place. He placed me on a brief hold and confirmed that rentals in my area were $95 dollars. I continued to tell him it would not be right for me to have to pay anything out of pocket since the defect was due to Hyundai. He then stated the most he could do was $75 dollars a day. I then argued, that still would not be adequate. That Hyundai needed to provide a loaner vehicle or a full days rental at no expense to me. After over an hour long conversation, a request to speak to his team leader, which he refused, he ended up hanging up on me. He stated that his team leader would not be able to speak to me that day but would have to call me back in 24 hours. By time the team leader called me back, my vehicle had been repaired and was ready for pick up. It took an entire month for my vehicle to be fixed and returned to me. After being a loyal Hyundai purchaser of 2 vehicles over the past 15 years, it is incredibly concerning to me that Hyundai does not have better rental/loaner policies for customers who need repairs to their vehicle when it is due to a defect from the factory. If I had not pushed for the dealership to listen to my car, I could have been seriously injured by the engine locking up while driving. If it hadn’t been for me pursuing the issue of a rental and demanding answers, I guarantee my vehicle would still be sitting at the shop awaiting repairs. If anyone from Hyundai would be willing to discuss this matter with me, I would love to take the time to share my experience more thoroughly and provide feedback so that Hyundai may improve this aspect of their customer service. When it is time to purchase another vehicle, I will seriously need to think about alternative options because based on this experience, I am very disappointed in Hyundai’s costumer service and rental/loaner policy. Especially since my uncle is the president over 3 Toyota plants and I chose Hyundai over a Toyota. More

my car was sold to me without a key for locking lugs. when i had it towed to the dealership with a flat tire, i was told it would be done in a few hours. it took five days and me coming to the dealership when i had it towed to the dealership with a flat tire, i was told it would be done in a few hours. it took five days and me coming to the dealership to actually get it done. if it wasnt for Josh helping me out, i still wouldnt have my car. i was told someone in upper management would contact me regarding payment/reimbursement, because i didnt think i should have to purchase something that should have already been in the car. no one ever called. i still paid out of pocket just to get the spare on - again; 5 days after i was told it would be done.
