Never again! Bought a lemon which was a 2015 Hyundai sonata hybrid from Southwest Hyundai. This was my son's fist at car I helped him finance so he had a vehicle Bought a lemon which was a 2015 Hyundai sonata hybrid from Southwest Hyundai. This was my son's fist at car I helped him finance so he had a vehicle to get to work and school.Serviced it there without issue until the hybrid battery started to go out. We scheduled multiple service appointments and towed it to them twice due to hybrid battery warnings that shut the car down. Alarms went off and was not drivable. Each time we were told everything was fine and took it home to begin the process all over again, each time getting worse and worse until they could no longer "reset it". So if you are first owner you have lifetime warranty of the hybrid battery, but second owner they will cover the battery to 100,000 miles. Unfortunately when the car became 100% inoperable the car was around 110,000 miles. But the problem is the hybrid battery starting going out way before it hit 100,000 miles. The sad part is that I was unable to get a competent service person at southwest Hyundai to advocate for us for a replacement of the hybrid battery even with documentation of several service encounters with them. Needless to say the car is inoperable and my son found himself upside down on a loan. Please do your research and think twice before purchasing and servicing a car from with Southwest Hyundai. We have since had to purchase another vehicle and did so with CarMax who have provided amazing customer service from purchasing the vehicle to servicing the vehicle. I am committed to buying future quality used cars with Carmax! More
I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE TO VISIT THIS BUSINESS. We took our car, with 33,000 miles and no issues, for an oil change to Larry H. Miller Hyundai Service Center on Lomas, Abq, NM. Did a multi-point in We took our car, with 33,000 miles and no issues, for an oil change to Larry H. Miller Hyundai Service Center on Lomas, Abq, NM. Did a multi-point inspection and said that tires and the front axels needed replacement. Left the car to have the work done, but after starting the job said brake pads also needed replacement. After paying $1,774. got the vehicle and returned after driving 1 mile because the vehicle was shaking and breaks were unresponsive. They said one tire they replaced was defective and was responsible of shaking. Left the car to resolve the issue, and after 4 days they said that a new tire wouldn’t be available and replaced the defective with the spare until they got the replacement. Driving the car home we noticed the shaking got worse, it was all over. It was also hard to accelerate over 30 miles per hour. After driving less than 1 mile, the vents started blowing black smoke and filled the interior of the car. It was difficult to see with the smoke on the windshield. The car was in the middle lane of a congested road. We could hear other drivers yelling and honking their horns alerting the driver to stop the car. We parked the car after 1.9 miles.Hyundai said their mechanics checked it before it was returned, and the car was driving smoothly. Hyundai said they would tow but drove it to the shop. They told us, a large piece of melted plastic was found inside the exhaust after 5 days in their care. They replaced the exhaust at no charge after 17 days waiting and replaced the tire. However, we returned back because smoke came from under the hood after started driving and there was now a ticking noise in the engine. After 10 days in their shop they recommended belts be replaced at a cost of ~$640. This was a car with 33000 miles on it. A reputable mechanic inspected the car and stated that the ticking noise was an “internal engine failure”, probably a ‘valve lifter’. The cost ~$6000. Finally, there are a bunch of cars in our family. Some new and some old. Because we are educators we know a lot of people in academia. We will tell anyone willing to listen about our experience with this dealer, nobody should ever go through what we went through. The car was left useless inside the garage to preserve the evidence for now until this issue is fully resolved to our satisfaction. More
The service department does a horrible job. I took my 2022 Tuscan there for a bad seal on the drivers door. They said they couldn't do anything about it.

Recently took it for a scheduled maintenance and the service tech said my car was in the wash bay and would be out shortly. Over an hour later they were done, after spending over an hour to "wash" my car. The wash job was horrible. More
Found a car finally after searching for weeks. Debbie was very professional and friendly. Staff was also nice. My car was not detailed good had lots of plastic and dirty marks inside.

Making an appointment has always been easy; then my wait time is short to get started and anticipated work time is accurate! I’ve been happy with Shawn, he explains what work is necessary and why.

Very disappointed with the customer service we experienced here. We reserved a 2023 Palisade (made a down payment over the phone) and the whole process to get it was not a great experience. Our sa experienced here. We reserved a 2023 Palisade (made a down payment over the phone) and the whole process to get it was not a great experience. Our sales rep seemed as though it was a chore to be there when we said the day we could make it in (we live 2 hours away from Albuquerque). The vehicle wasn't expected to be delivered until the first week of October. Sales rep said she would contact me with any updates (which is what I was depending on, since I would be out of state for 2 weeks prior). I decided to text her a 3 days before my trip to get an update (she hadnt communicated anything to me at this point), she said nothing had probably changed, but she would check the system. Low and behold it was expcted 2 weeks earlier than we were told- the week I would be gone. If i hasn't texted her, i probably wouldnt have known! Asked if it could be held at the lot until I came back and was treated like that would be a huge inconvenience for them. Was told it would arrive on Tuesday. The day came and went and I didn't hear anything. I texted Wednesday evening and was told it still didn't arrive. Car didn't get there until Thursday. On Friday, went straight from the airport to the dealership to get everything squared away. We were there, waiting a total of over 4 hours to get the whole process done. Not once were we offered some water, or extra chairs for my husband and I to be able to sit with our kids. We went in on a Friday and were told systems were down and they couldn't give us our temp tag, but should have it by Saturday. As I write this review, it is now Wednesday and it was finally sent off, but I had to contact the rep again, because she hadn't communicated this to me to let me know. As we were finally getting ready to leave the lot, our rep had the nerve to ask me to rate her service well, because they were having a contest for workers there at the dealership. I can't believe that I was approached like that- I liken it to a waiter or waitress telling you you have to tip them when they are done, when it should be because you received great service. This was our first new car purchase in over 10 years and I was so excited to get the car we had been wanting for months, but the service we received really soured the experience. I am rarely one to complain and usually keep quiet, but considering we bought a $39,000 vehicle and put down a substantial down payment, I would have expected to be treated a little better. A colleague of mine inquired about my new car when she saw it and asked about it. The car itself is great and when she asked me where I went to get it, I told her, but also mentioned for her not to waste her time at this dealership. We had previously been to the other Larry H. Miller dealership in Rio Rancho and liked their service; but unfortunately they didn't have the model of Palisade we were looking for. I directed my colleague to that dealership instead. All in all, happy with my Hyundai Palisade, but deeply disappointed with the customer service at this dealership. More
