Recall Fix
I took my Santa Fe in for the hood recall fix. I was told that my battery was in the low range, so was talked into getting it replaced. It was 18 months old. Was also told that my brakes needed to be replaced. mmmmm..... I will have my husband check them out. I was a little wary about these added tack ons.

Michael S. from Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale responded on 08/31/2017 08:55 AM

Thank you for the positive review.

During your visit the battery in your Santa Fe tested at 440/700 cold cranking amps and also tested poorly in the reserve capacity rating - this tells us a battery failure was imminent.  Sometimes batteries in Phoenix can last a couple years, however we think the past 2 summers took its toll on yours and it made sense to replace it before it left you stranded.  Every replacement battery comes with a 4 year warranty and at 18 months yours was still mostly covered by that warranty, so it made sense to replace it when we did.

Your brakes are getting close to needing replacement.  About 2mm or material remains and this is when we start preparing you to replace them.  You may achieve another oil change interval or perhaps even two, but it is best to know it is coming.  40k+ miles is not bad wear for your vehicle and when they are replaced you can expect to achieve that kind of mileage again based on your driving habits and conditions.

Our multi-point inspection has pictures for you which includes the battery test slip, the condition of your brakes an even photos of  your tires which will also need attention soon.  If you have any questions (or your husband) or are ever 'wary' as you put it, please ask us to show you anything we recommended or that you have concerns about.

We are your dealership and we want to make sure you leave our store with a complete understanding of what we have found on  your vehicle.

We do appreciate the positive review and we look forward to serving you again in the future.

Warranty
Engine was leaking oil internally. Wasted no time getting me set up with a rental, and ordering a new engine. Took a month and a half, got a new engine, and a bill for $0.00. Top notch standing behind their product. Ben in service is nothing less than amazing.

The time to get an oil change does take a little longer but this dealership is very friendly and does not try to sell you things you don't need. Very clean and comfortable place to hang out.

The car mechanic fear ...
The service that I went in was good. It is the first time that I wait for 2 hours for an oil change. I have been changing my oil here since 2012 and it should take less than 1 hour.
I was disappointing with the turn time. Staff was friendly as usual.

On a separate note I would give a 0 starts if possible for the suggested brake pads replacement. Seeing that the quote was super high I had a different mechanic change my brakes this week. But to my surprise when he went to change the brakes he said he recommends not changing them as they are at 50%. I have personally looked at the front and rear brake pads to confirm this and I was shocked to see the pads in great condition. What was unbelievably disappointing is to find out that the Hyundai Dealership that I have been servicing my car for 4 years now is less then honest with their assessment of my vehicle.
So now, do I believe them when they tell me that I need anything else done ? Should I think that they can modify something in my car when I do the oil change so that I have to "repair" the car?

I am questioning if I should ever use this dealership. Wouldn't you ???

Michael S. from Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale responded on 11/04/2016 09:45 AM

Thank you for the feedback.

Reviewing your most recent service visit, we did recommend you be aware of the wear on the rear brake pads.  The inboard pad measured at 3.0mm which is just the edge of the recommended replacement interval.  At 103,000 miles, it seems fair to say you acheived great wear from those brakes.  As brake pads get thinner they are also less able to disappate heat.  Heat is the enemy of your brakes and on the rear brakes, which use an non-vented rotor, that heat can cause warping of the rotors.  We do recommend replacement of the rear brakes sooner rather than later to avoid the additional cost to replace rear rotors.  It does not take much warpage to make the rear brake rotors too thin to reuse after resurfacing.

We agree that your front brakes were at 50% as noted on the inspection sheet, but we will continue to recommend replacement of the rear brakes to prevent rotor warpage.  Again, over 100,000 miles is fantastic wear from your brakes and replacement now will help you defer the extra cost of having to replace the rotors later.

If you ever have any questions about your service, you are encouraged to ask us immediately.  We have always had an open shop, we are more than willing take you to your car, to show you what we are seeing, and to explain why we are recommending what we and particular service or repairs.

Your  5 years and 100,000+ miles of trouble-free driving, with no repairs except for a couple of light bulbs along the way, it seems fair to say that both you and the car have done well.  We've done our best to help guide you along the way and if you would like to go another 100,000 miles we're still here to help.

Took the time to Repond to Feedback!
The entire Service team took the time and effort to respond to my original comments. That is important to me. It shows that they actually read them and try to address the issues that are raised. The costs are the costs...you either agree with them or you don't...the options are limited if you don't. If you want to maintain your vehicle properly, than it is a factor that you need to consider when you are thinking of making a vehicle purchase. Maintenance is something that many people do not consider because they do not keep cars, preferring to lose money every few years,and buy a new vehicle. For those individuals who prefer not to trade or buy every two or three years, maintenance is a factor that is very important. It is a choice everyone makes , whether they know it or not or consciously make the choice, the choice is made for them. I will continue my Service with this Team, because they take the time to actually listen to the customer.

Very friendly and helpful employees. Not pushy at all.
I would highly recommend everything about this place, except the cost of routine maintenance. As with many dealerships, the cost is way above what you could get the same services completed at a local mechanic.

Thank you Michael.

We are glad to be your Hyundai dealer.  Quality genuine parts are more expensive than aftermarket substitutes, but we know that when you use components specifically designed for your car you will get the best service and performance from them.  Give us a chance to compare what we are doing and what the costs are and we will always work with you to find your best solution.

We do appreciate the feedback and we routinely compare our pricing on services, while we may not always be the least expensive, there is great value in having your vehicle service by a certified Hyundai technician using genuine Hyundai parts.
