I have been in the auto industry and lithia for 18 years. I have lived all over the US and I am proud to call Alaska my home since 2015. I am originally from Tri-cities WA where I was born and raised. I enjoy hunting, fishing, boating, and any adventure that gets me outdoors. I love how the car business lets me meet new customers daily and connect to our community.

The next phone call to service the guy was snarky they sent the tow truck the tow truck driver said there’s nothing wrong with your car …. Drive it. The next phone call to service the guy was snarky saying we were a no show. I told Him what the tow truck driver said and he said he’s not a mechanic. I said your business sent him. He then told me it would be almost 2 months before I could Get an appointment and not to drive my car it was unsafe! Had to go to the GM of the business to get my car in, which it needed to be towed.

Customer service is abysmal. My car has 27,000 miles and I have asked twice to have my tires rotated and each time they said they didn’t do it because it didn’t need it. However, My car has 27,000 miles and I have asked twice to have my tires rotated and each time they said they didn’t do it because it didn’t need it. However, they told me my car needed a ton of other stuff that of course would be extra. They don’t want to take time to rotate my tires because it’s included in a package I bought. Funny how they only worry about things they can charge you for. Also, said the oil change would be an hour and a half and it took 4 hours. If I could take back buying this car, I would! More

My car was damaged while on Lithia Hyundai's lot back on September 20th 2023. They claimed that the damage never occurred on their property but refused to let me see any security camera footage of their lot September 20th 2023. They claimed that the damage never occurred on their property but refused to let me see any security camera footage of their lot. After many emails Chris Schmidt agreed to pay for the damages to my car. I took it in to their body shop to get a quote. After getting the quote I sent it over to Chris. After many emails and calls Chris Schmidt continued to ignore me and I never heard back from him. My car is still damaged and Lithia Hyundai never held up their end of the deal. Stay away if you can.

I can't believe the GM lets his departments get away with the lack of customer service. My son's car was purchased at the end of July. It has been in the shop since 2 days after buying it. They sold us a the lack of customer service. My son's car was purchased at the end of July. It has been in the shop since 2 days after buying it. They sold us a car with a bad engine in it, they refuse to take it back and they were sneaky enough to cover their butts so they couldn't be sued. It is now April and the service depart is still lacking any communication. Every time we call, they keep saying they will call us back but never do. More
