Never again
After personally calling 3 separate times to confirm my 9am apt was set for an oil change in addition to assessing my check engine light and fixing the recall, I still walked and was told the apt was just for my oil change. After waiting for my car all day I texted the provided number and recieved no response. Then was called and told my car would not be ready until the following morning. The reason given being that they did not start on the car until after lunch and we’re unaware of the engine light and recall. Only after a lengthy conversation we’re they convinced to ensure my car would be ready by closing. Then when picking up my car, I asked a question and was made to feel stupid by the employee as if the answer was obvious. The notorious awful car guy honestly. I will say the job was completed so that’s good, but I would never recommend this dealer to anyone. I loved my dealership back in Raleigh and it is honestly worth the 2 hour drive to get my service done there. Completely unacceptable service.

Clutch put In my car
Had to take my car back serval time because of the lack of power and it jerking really bad for them to tell me every time nothing wrong with it that’s cause no lights on the dash and finally lights came on my dash they fixed the lights and return my car and tell me it’s run like a new one and I pull out the parking lot and it’s jerking worse then when I toke it to them so I get back up with the. Take it to them next morning for them to tell me it past there test the first time and then failed the second time and they said needed new clutch so brung it back to have that done and then had to go back and forth about the payment
It’s that they try to do the least they have to to your vehicle and tell you that they did it all that they were supposed to do
I would diff b careful taking ur vehicle here to get serviced

Thank you for sharing your feedback.  I apologize for the lengthy wait time, we were a little backed up that day and that should have been communicated with you in a timely manner.  Also, like Helen mentioned on the phone, we no longer have a detail department on-site.  We understand it may be a slight inconvenience driving to another location which is why we are giving complimentary "full" service wash instead of "exterior" only to our customers while we are renovating our detail department. We will strive to provide quicker service in the future.

World's most expensive bulb.
I spent over $400 on tires, an inspection, and a 4 wheel alignment. The service was super, timely, and reasonable. To pass the annual inspection, I had the burnt out bulb over the license plate replaced.
When I got home I examined my copy of the bill and found out the bulb had been billed at $7 and the labor to change the bulb was $15! I was annoyed with myself for authorizing the service writers"Oh, and you need a new bulb for the license plate" comment without realizing the cost involved. And I can't help but feeling annoyed that I put myself in a position where I'm supposed to think that $25 for a replacement light bulb is reasonable! I won't be back.

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.

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.

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
