Not changing my review!
This is an in house review system and I have gone to the big 2 yet. Again, why was I sold a warranty that covered all electrical, but when I need it the two electrical items I needed are not covered. I was charged $260 just to look at my car (at the dealership I bought the car from, and the warranty) $130 per part. You say know you did me a favor and reduced it and only charged me for 1. I was told by the warranty sales person "all electrical is covered on this policy from bumper to bumper". It is the reason I picked this one. She even added, that is why it is the one she owns.

I will be in touch with Temecula Hyundai soon to ask these questions. I am not walking away from this. If you send me another request to alter my review, I will simply reiterate what I have said.

Warranty they sold me is worthless
Hi Michael,

It was the worst ever! I have a gold plus warranty from Tem Hyundai and it would not cover 2 major items like camera and center console NIS. When Jennifer sold it to me I asked, does this cover all electrical and she said Yes?

I did not complain at service or the warranty company but I bought a worthless piece of paper then paid more to get told so.

Second, had the appt for a recall part and I was told it needed to be ordered. Now a need a second appt.

I am obviously not pleased.

Ed,

I do appologize about the items not being covered and I will pass this on to my General Manager. We in service have no control over what is covered and what is not. I do know my Advisor did try to help by adjusting the cost for you.
I also apologize regarding not having the parts for the recall. we will call you as soon as the part is in and make sure it is done quickly.

They just want to sell and lie to do it.
When I bought the car they offered the maintenance plan, assuring me that with it I would not have to pay anything for maintenance, well that was a lie, it's only oil changes, so anything else I have to pay, and they are expensive. Also they convinced me to add the Data Dots, so I did, but they "forgot" to put them in the car or ever mention anything else about them, they only put them almost 1 year after because I asked them about it. Also on car washes, they assured me the car would be washed every time it was there for maintenance service or repair, and I have been there a few times already and not once they have washed it, so they lied on that too, they say the policy changed to "save water" but I still have to wash the car, so they are not saving water, just saving money by not washing it as they originally promised.
When I got the car I thought I had a fair deal, but now I'm really feel cheated and disappointed.
I have told them this in reviews and in person face to face to the service guys, and they just say I'm sorry but have not made one single attempt to fix or improve the situation.

I do apologize about the experience and mis communication that has happened to you. this is not the way we do business. I am going to reach out to my General Manager when he gets back from vaction to contact you.
A few thing's I can clear up ;
1. Your maintenance plan does cover tire rotations, they cover them every other oil change. So , your first visit here was just the oil change the second time you were here included the oil change and tire rotation.
2. We were asked to do our part with the drought and stop washing cars, as many of the dealerships in town have stopped also. Unfortunatly we do not have a recycled water car wash like the car wash places have. It had nothing to do with cost as it was done for the Enviorment We hope to start washing cars again soon .
3. As far as the Data Dots, we call every customer after they purchase a vehicle to follow up and schedule apppintments for added on items, I can only apologize at this point if you were not called. I am glad that it did get done as our intention is to have our customers feel welcome and trust us.
I hope this clears some things up and hope that we can restore a better relationship with you as we appriciate your business.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Mr. Beckford,

I would love the opportunity to speak with you. I have looked at the history of your vehicle and it looks like you have been out of the basic warranty for awhile now and that your last visit was done under your power train warranty at no charge to you.
If you could let me know when is a good time to speak , I would love to clear this up.

Charging me $1100 to replace the passenger side window motor is ridiculous, especially on a car with $50,000 miles on it and it's the passenger side window motor so it got virtually no use during its lifetime.

CARLOS V., Service Manager from Temecula Hyundai responded on 05/28/2019 09:37 AM

I am so sorry for the cost of repairing the window. It was unfortunate to have the window motor and regulator fail at the same time. I completely understand the frustration with cost of a window for a vehicle with such low miles. I will try and get a hold of you this afternoon to see what we can do to help the situation.

I  see the score given way a 2 of 5 stars but don't see what may have happened on your visit that gave us such a low score. Please feel free to contact me at the phone number below and maybe I can see how we can improve and be able to earn a 5 out of 5 stars on your next visit.

Way to long a wait time for an oil change.
I had an appointment for an oil change. I was waiting while the vehicle was being serviced. I waited over 2 hours a 40 minutes for a 20 minute service to be completed. What is the point of having an appointment? If I knew it was going to take so long I never would have waited.

CARLOS V., Service Manager from Temecula Hyundai responded on 08/11/2018 08:08 AM

I deeply apologize for the time it took for the service to be completed. I do see we performed a recall along with the service and it did add some time to the oil change.  It is no excuse at all for the time taken and you should have been notified that it was going to take longer to complete the service on your vehicle. I hope to see you again for any future service and I'm sure we can make your next experience a lot  better then this current one was. Please feel free to contact me if I can assist with anything now or in the future.

I wanted to take the time and apologize for the issues on your last service. As I looked over your paperwork I did see the charge for the car was but also saw that we put a $10.00 discount. We do the charge and discount so we can keep track of our washes. As far as the tire pressure I can completely understand and there are no excuses on not setting pressures. I thank you for the feedback as its the only way for us to fix the issues that are made.

Forgotten in waiting room
I was in the waiting room for 4 hrs. No one came to tell me my car was ready. I finally got tired of waiting and couldn’t understand what was taking so long. I checked and found out they said they didn’t know I was in the waiting room. I told them on arrival I would be waiting. They also said they left a message on my phone about 45 mins prior. NO message! Unacceptable! I wasted an entire afternoon for service that should have taken about 1 hr.
