Labor Costs Out of Sight
all good except for the unreasonable cost of labor compared to $1.59 part.

Hi Mr. Bittner,
I am sorry you are upset with the labor charges on your recent service visit.  I am pulling your repair order and will revisist the charges.  Please call me tomorrow in the office as I would like to discuss this further with you.  The technician has left for the day but I will talk to him in the morning as to what the labor consisted of in your steering column. 
Thank you,

Mary Margaret Vann

Good customer service but bad car service
Customer service was remarkable. But since my visit I've been having problems with sensors. I wish I never got the recall fixed in the steering wheel now.

Good afternoon,


 Has there already been another appointment set up to review this new issue. Please let me know personally.

CHRISTOPHER D. from Parkway Hyundai of Wilmington responded on 08/07/2017 02:13 PM

THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL SOUND LIKE A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN WHAT WE FIXED AND AFTER CONFIRMING THE ISSUE THE REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT HYUNDAI CAME OUT WITH FOR YOUR VEHICLE.  I WOULD LIKE TO GET ANOTHER APPT SCHEDULED SO WE CAN GET THAT ISSUE RESOLVED AS WELL.

I don't know if it's so great.
$178 for a routine checkup! Oil/filter change, air filter (engine and cabin) change, switch front tires from right to left, but not rear tires.
Is this great service?? You tell customer that you "recommend" something, and then say "customer requested" on invoice. Is this "great service"???

Casey S. from Parkway Hyundai of Wilmington responded on 01/02/2017 08:19 AM

Good morning,

  I wanted to reach out to you and appologize personally. This weighs on my shoulders due to not having enough coverage that day, as well as us being short on staff at the time. We are currently trying to correct this, and will have this repaired by the next time you return. Chris spoke with me about it, and this was totally my fault, and I am working to get another service technician due to some longer wait times. Thank you for the feedback and happy new year. We look forward to seeing you return, and will have this fixed so it is more of a positive experience the next time you return.

Poor ownership of issues
Exhaust leak present after picking up car from engine replacement via recall, claim it had nothing to do with maintenance. This leak & noise was not present when I dropped off vehicle. 6 year navy vet and electrician, do most of own car repairs, will try Jacksonville dealer next.

Service is not as good as it use to be
purchased an extended maintenance plan that was told included the annual inspection and I asked is this the state inspection and was told yes. when I took it in for the oil change and inspection I was told it was not for the state inspection it was for a safety inspection. Everyone does that for free anyway. The first time I took the car in I came home to notice the tires were not rotated, took it back and the agreed it was not done. I had a lot of confidence in the quality of my cars maintenance there but since getting the issues corrected on my other car after 2 months it will more than likely not be back and the new car will only be there for the services i prepaid.

Still cannot fix cruise control
Taken in three times over a two year period, not fixed and approx. $350 in charges. Taken back, kept car 3 days, told a $ 700. repair might fix problem, but no guarantee. It is obvious that technicians have in the past thrown parts at the problem hoping for a fix that never worked. I have no confidence in their service department and would not recommend this dealership for a future purchase.

Thank you for your sharing your feedback with us.  It is very unfortutante to hear that the cruise control stopped working again.  My Service Advisor, Chris, told me that you contacted him during your trip and that you are going to let us know when you return so we can remedy this concern for you.  I'm very confident that this concern will be resolved when the car is returned to our facility.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Oil change was badly done
Went for 1st scheduled maintenance. Oil filter was not sealed properly and oil was overfilled. Found a chassis with oil sprayed on it 2 days after service and oil on the floor of my garage. Went back in, spent 2 hrs of my time on my day off having them correct this. They said they replaced oil filter again and refilled the oil and cleaned off all oil spray on chassis, etc. I don't know that I will ever use them again for maintenance. Made 6 phone calls trying to get up with SM before writing a poor review. I had no more time trying to get up with this person, so here's the review.

Hello,

Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to leave your feedback.  I apologize we didn't speak again, when I called you you were tied up at the moment and I was awaiting your call back as your requested to do.  I wasn't aware that you returned the call; I didn't recieve a voicemail. 

When I called you, I was going to inform you that we are not in the business of not properly maintaining our customers vehicles.  I have releaved the mechanic of his duties that performed the inital oil change.  The technician that performed the work on Saturday told me everything that he saw with your car;once again I do apologize for the intial technician overfilling the oil and didn't clean the belly pan under the car. I would like to speak with you again; please call or email me at your convience.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Customer always wrong
I took my 2009 Elantra in for a recall fix, which I suppose was taken care of. There was another issue I asked to bee investigated. Six months ago the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) failed. Conveniently the entire steering column had to be replaced and I was told this would cost $2,400+. Not having the $, I have been driving it with out EPS since then (nice case of tendonitis). Imagine my surprise when I replaced the battery and suddenly my EPS began to work (after 6 months of not working). I asked the service manager to look for a connection since the 'E' stands for "ELECTRONIC"! Without a blink the SM said there was absolutely no connection. I asked him to look into it anyway. After the work was completed, he said he had contacted the district SM who agreed there was no possible connection. How can an electrical system not work for 6 months and then, miracles of miracles, begin to work just fine when the Electrical power source is found to be faulty and replaced. I am very glad I did not pay to have something to be replaced that obviously was not the problem. Never another Hyundai. To be fair, I have also been in touch with Hyundai customer service and was told the same thing, so it is apparently the Hyundai Party line.

PHILLINA J G., Service Director from Parkway Hyundai of Wilmington responded on 08/14/2013 07:50 AM

Hello Mr. Lang,

Replacing the battery in your car has not only reset your EPS light but it also has temporarily allowed your Electronic Power Steering to begin working again.  Replacing the battery cleared the codes in the EPS system.  Once the vehicle sees this fault again the EPS light will illuminate and the power steering will stop working. 

I hope this helps clear up the confusion on what repairs the vehicle needs.

Best Regards,

Phillina Jacobs
