Mixed review
Staff is great but car should have been washed before given back to me. It also seams weird that a broken turn indicator light would result in replacing a $1,500 light assembly.

Small service dept.
Inexperienced sales people. They need to know more about the cars they sell. & the sales mgr. (Brad) not sure if he is still there but he needed some people skills. Are salesman know nothing they did a dealer trade for a sante fe ultimate and when it came in it was the wrong color. So we left. The next day Brad called with an attitude, I told him it was the wrong color and because of his attitude I told him to keep it. I purchased the sante fe at another dealer.

Service sucks!
My new car didn't come with a spare
Instead we paid 100 for a new tire

I am sorry that you were not aware that there was no spare tire, alot of the vehicles these days are coming with the Tire Mobility kit , not just Hyundai's.
I know this was your first visit to our service department in 31,000 miles and I see that we got you in and out very quickley, I do hope that this is a reflection on your frustration reagrding the tire and not our Service Department.

Rushed experience
Could have been better, replaced windshield washer pump, but did not fill reservoir back up with washer fluid (which it was when brought in). could have cleaned windshield after testing ( I know no wash car any longer which is OK) but to leave windshield spotted on pick up not good. Bill was rushed over, paid over $1,200.00. Whole experience was kind of rush, rush. I'll be back because of extended warranty only, otherwise probably would go across the street to EAC.

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.

First and last time bringing my car to Hyundai for service
I should have know better than to have had my car serviced by the same car company that sold me the car using false gas mileage claims (Google the class action law suite on that one). I brought my car in for routine maintenance and when I picked it up something was wrong with the front end. Now I have to inconvenience myself to bring my car back in to the service department so they can fix whatever the heck they did to it. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, but they somehow messed up my car doing routine maintenance - seriously overpriced.

I do apologize that you are needing to bring the vehicle back in. I see that you have an appointment scheduled on the 12th and I will make sure that I am involved with the inspection.
I look forward to meeting you on the 12th and resolving the issue.

Not owning a situation
I bought my car with only 4 moles on it, that were from me test driving it and shortly after my steering light came on. I took ut in multiple times and was told it was fixed untile the third time, they told me they needed to replace my steering column. After they replaced it my steering wheel was crooked and I brought it back, they said they fixed it. I drove it off the lot and it was not fixed, so I turned around had a tec deive with me and showed them the issue. He then took it back in and i guess temporarily fixed it. I say temporarily because when I went.baxk for my 20,000 mile service I received my car back with a crooked steering wheel, they told my i needed to get an alignment. (Did not own the situation after I told them this happend last time, so I had to spend money on an alignment) again temp fix. I came in for my 60,000 miles and agin after this service my wheel was not straight. I work and am unable to keep leaving work early to have them do what should have been done correct the first time. So I drove with a crooked steering wheel until I needed my next service, an oil change. I brought it in and let them know about my frustrations with my steering wheel and they again said it had nothing to do with them replacing my steering wheel but they would look at it. To my surprise (said in a sarcastic voice) I am still driving everyday on a dangerous road with a steering wheel. I use to own an acura and decided to trade it in for a Hyundai Sonata because of all the good things I have heard about the company and the car. My next car will not be a Hyundai because of the service I received and the frustration of driving with a crooked steering wheel. If the steering column would have not been replaced would and worked how it should have when I bought it would have been nice. But now I have an unsafe car that I am driving. Thank you Hyundai!

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.
