Last year, I brought my vehicle to Werner Hyundai regarding peeling paint covered by Hyundai's Z05 extended paint warranty. A Werner employee told me they did not handle the paint work there and instructed me to go to 850 Auto. I did exactly that. In fact, I went to 850 Auto multiple times because they needed to retake the photographs for the claim. I was specifically assured that I had complied with the warranty deadline because I brought the vehicle in and had the photographs taken. I was told, essentially, that as long as I had brought it in before the deadline, I was covered, but that the actual repair could take a long time because there were so many claims. I then spent the better part of a year waiting and repeatedly trying to get updates. When I finally reached someone at 850 Auto about getting the paint work completed, 850 Auto sent me back to Werner Hyundai. Werner took yet another set of photographs — the third set in total — and Dylan Fudge told me I would hear back regarding the warranty. I never received that promised call. After I explained this entire history to Werner's warranty manager, Dee, I was told that I am now supposedly too late for warranty coverage and that the best they can do is treat the repair as "goodwill." I found their tone dismissive and unhelpful, particularly after I explained that I had followed Werner’s instructions and had been trying to resolve this for a year now. Even more frustrating, I was told that 850 Auto is not an authorized body shop. Then why did Werner Hyundai send me there in the first place? I did not independently choose 850 Auto. I went there because Werner Hyundai instructed me to go there. I followed the instructions I was given, had photographs taken multiple times, repeatedly sought updates, and relied on the assurance that I had met the deadline. Now, after all of that, I'm being treated as though I simply showed up late and Werner is doing me a favor by considering "goodwill" assistance. My experience has involved being sent back and forth, repeated photographs, promised callbacks that never came, conflicting information, and an enormous amount of unnecessary effort just to obtain the paint repair I originally approached Werner about before the deadline. I have escalated the matter and retained documentation of my attempts to resolve it. I will update this review if Werner Hyundai ultimately resolves the situation appropriately. More

Our 2007 Hyundai Azera had an issue with the key assembly that required a new part be installed, which necessitated new keys. The car was towed from Thomasville to Tallahassee on December 13, 2024, and we fi that required a new part be installed, which necessitated new keys. The car was towed from Thomasville to Tallahassee on December 13, 2024, and we finally picked it up today, April 11, 2025. Why did it take 4 months? I would love to know the answer to that question but no one in the service department there is willing to answer it. The first two months were taken up with holiday delays (Christmas, New Year's) and then an issue with the part which, by the way, they told us they couldn't provide: my husband had to Google the part, purchase it, and take it to them to have them install it. The part was finally installed successfully on February 14. On that day, the mechanic told my husband that the new keys required a unique PIN code that he was told had to come from Hyundai support in Korea. He advised us that it could take up to 5 business days to receive the code, so we didn't reach out to them for an update until February 21. At that time, we were told that they still hadn't received a callback. When we requested that they reach out again to Korea, they told us they had to wait. This went on for 5 increasingly frustrating WEEKS until we finally contacted Hyundai's Consumer Affairs and filed a complaint. Less than 90 minutes after Werner received the initial call from our support rep at Hyundai, my husband received a text saying that the car was ready to be picked up. Coincidence? I think not! When we picked up the car today, I asked why 6 weeks had passed as we waited for them to get the code only to suddenly get it on the very same day that the Consumer Affairs support rep called them. Tafari said it was just coincidental and that they had been repeatedly calling to get the code and they finally were just able to. To add insult to injury, they charged us for 5 hours of labor when I'm guessing they **might** have performed 3. The service manager magnanimously gave us a $100 discount which doesn't even amount to 1 billable hour. A 1-star rating is generous for this dealership's service department. {It remains to be seen whether the quality of the work that was done was good; my husband said the mechanic that installed the key assembly was extremely nice and seemed genuinely interested in explaining what had been done. This was the ONLY positive part of this 4-MONTH fiasco.} More

Traveling when my transmission failed and had to be towed into Werner Hyundai. This was my only experience with with the dealership/service department and it has been a nightmare. As mentioned in other revie into Werner Hyundai. This was my only experience with with the dealership/service department and it has been a nightmare. As mentioned in other reviews, the service department failed to return calls, provide updates, or complete the required warranty work needed. Werner had my car for over two weeks and I was only able to speak with someone one time. After this, the dealership refused to take my call or return my calls as requested. In addition, the dealership lost the key to my car. Due to the dealership's lack of communication and completion of warranty repairs, I towed my car to another Hyundai dealership for repairs. (Who repaired my car in 4 business days AND provided me with a loaner car!) The service department is very unprofessional and does not care about their customers. More
