poor customer service via Zimbrick not scheduling the appoint made in person, incomplete estimate of cost and 4 days of in shop time to complete a 3.5 hour job.
This Hyundai Santa Fe has only 33,350 miles on it and the oil pressure switch was leaking oil at the threads. The part cost $35.00, the repair required 3.5 hours of labor and $840.61 in additional parts for a total cost of $1354.91! In-spite of the warranty, I was told that this vital engine part is not covered. Given all of the issues Hyundai is having with engines, I believe that they need to stand behind their product and warranty,

I am sorry that you still feel this way. I am disappointed that on one hand you can praise the service on the Tucson and then when it doesn't go the way you are hoping, you bash the product and our staff by giving us the 1 star review. Even before this review, I had consulted up the chain of Hyundai and Zimbick. In both cases, I ran into a dead end on your behalf. Like I said, sorry you still feel this way.

Have a great Hyundai dai,

Timely repair but good accommodations
Like many businesses, I'm aware that Hyundai has struggled because of Covid-19 protocols, staffing, but a large-scale recall affecting numerous engine models (mine included), and this made extremely busy and while at times working shorthanded. Although timely in repair, I feel Hyundai did a fair job to accommodate me during the time they had my vehicle with a loaner and ensure my vehicle would return safely and fully operational upon its completion.

Untrustworthy and Poor Communication
They attempted to have me pay for repairs towards a new engine (over $2700) after only driving it 17k and owning it for three years. After two and a half weeks of poor communication and me fighting for answers, they had a Hyundai rep evaluate my vehicle for warranty repair. This was approved. I was then told I would have to wait 1-2 months to have my vehicle back because they had over 30 cars needing new engines due to a faulty engine model that was produced between 2010-2014. My vehicle was in this category. They knew it, and still tried to charge me initially. I got my vehicle back last Friday after almost three months with out. My alignment is out of whack amongst other things. I contacted the dealership and they have not responded back to me over the last five days. DO YOUR RESEARCH, they do not have your best interest in mind regarding safety, trust, and being a long term customer. They want your money now and that's it.
ROGER W I., Service Manager from Zimbrick Hyundai West responded on 09/29/2021 12:19 PM

Hi Mitch,

Zero out of ten do not recommend.
First of all the staff that greet you are wonderful and are super kind and very knowledgeable individuals. Wonderful people, truly. The people working on the cars themselves though don't seem to know what they are doing. One of the concerns I brought the car in for was that there were buckets of water coming out from under the glove box and filling up the passenger side floorboard whenever I had my air conditioner on. They saw it and said the air conditioner was likely blocked and they would need to blow out the blockage. Said it was an "easy fix" and I could even wait in the waiting room for it to be done. Then 2+ hours later they give me my car back and as I drive away the problem instantly presents itself again. I had already spent more time and money than I could afford for the day and I was beyond fed up. This unfortunately was not the only issue I have had with the quality of service I have received from Hyundai, it was just the proverbial straw that broke the camels back so I ended up trading in my vehicle and buying an entirely different brand of car elsewhere.

ROGER W I., Service Manager from Zimbrick Hyundai West responded on 07/27/2021 07:54 AM

Hi Stephanie,
 

I looked up the reason you brought your car in. It would appear you brought your vehicle in for multiple concerns. The first of which was the drivability concern with the car thrusting forward with a service engine soon light on. The tech found the transmission temperature sensor needing to be replaced. You declined the repairs. The second repair was to diagnose the water in the passenger compartment. The tech found a clogged AC hose. The tech did this work for free and at the time witnessed no water enteing the compartment. If you had an additional issue with this concern the clog may be further into the system which may require repairs. In the future, communicating this to the service department would lead to the repair.  I hope your new car never has this issue, yet it is common with any make and model, so I hope this doesn't happen as finding a clog due to debris can take time to find. An additional courtesy, we noted that there was very little oil in the engine when it came in. We needed to add 3 quarts of oil for the safety of the engine. You did also communicate that you DO NOT come here for regular maintenace. I trust that your future oil changes will be done on time to follow the manufacture recommendations. 
 
If there was a problem still I wished you would have come back immediately so we could have addressed it.

 

I just wanted to help you understand why you were here for over 2 hours. I do think it’s unfair that you feel the service you received from the advisor was only 1 star service. The primary concern was the drivability concern and a quote was provided. The secondary concern was the water in the cabin and we worked on that part for free and were not aware of additional issues. 

Feel free to respond because Jeff does not feel like he treated you like a one star. I am sad that we lost your business and I would like to discuss further as I don't want frustration from any customer, I want you to be happy.

After you buy your car from Zimbrick, take it to a different dealer for maintenance
After my 3000 mile oil change, I was really left feeling that Zimbrick is all about making the sale. After that, you're on your own. The people at the service department check-in desks are there to complete forms, enter information into the computer, and move people through the check-in process, and they conduct themselves accordingly. Had the service rep I had focused more on the customer experience, I might have had a positive encounter. As it was, calls weren't returned, I was not given updates unless I was persistent in my calls, Hyundai was bashed (by him) because they have a fix for a recall that knowingly causes a problem with the wiring harness, and instead of making new wiring harnesses available to fix the issue, they use them in new cars and thus create a huge back order for the part. Originally I expected my car to be done in less than a week. After a week I was told it could actually be several; it turned out to be just over 2. Even though my car is a 2018 and just had it's first oil change, the experience was frustrating enough that I will be finding someplace else to take my car in the future.

Good luck.

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback from your visit.  I apologize things did not go well.  Unfortunately the parts for this recall have been on backorder and taking us more than a week to get parts.  I apologize your service advisor did not keep you properly informed on the delays.  I will make sure to address this with all our staff.  

I am happy to discuss this further if you would like.  Please feel free to let me know and I am happy to setup a time to talk.

Disappointing service department
I had a disappointing experience with the Zimbrick Hyundai West service department. Between multiple failed repairs for a rear rattle, lack of communication, and lack of consideration, my entire experience was bad. Calls were regularly not returned and updates were regularly not given on my car. I also was not given paperwork multiple times. During one instance, the car wasn't ready at one pick up, and I had to find it in behind the building with disposable floor protectors still inside the car. I was given the car back multiple times without the car being fixed.

Overall, it was not a good experience. I am hopeful the service team is more considerate to other customers.

Possible Case of trumping up business
Hyundai Accent (2012)

As far as I know, all the services provided were done according to book. However, the "book" provided by Hyundai didn't recommend many of the serivices at only 18K miles.

I was somewhat unhappy that they wanted to do lots of expensive service that the owner's manual doesn't suggest at 15K miles. So, I'm more than a little skeptical and am apt to believe that they just look for ways to increase their business bottom line, whether some of the maintenance provided was needed or not. I have to question why Hyundai doesn't specifically recommend all of these services at 15K miles "if" they are really needed.

You can't blame me for being skeptical and dealership repair shops have a bad reputation in this regard. I have not had a similar experience (for the most part) with our Toyota. They follow the maintenance protocol outlined in the owner's books and I've not regretted it in the 10 year's we've owned that vehicle.

Lastly, I wAS offered 10% off of a minimum $100 service if it's completed within a month of this most recent service. Really, how likely is it that I will need that service and be able to make use of the discount so soon after this visit? If I do, it REALLY doesn't speak well for the quality of Hyundai products or the work of this shop.

Sorry if this review seems overly negative but I think people should know. Everyone at the shop treated me nice but I'm not so sure about fair or honestly.

Will take advantage of you if they know you don’t know much about cars.
If the salesman can tell that you don’t know much about cars, they will fully take advantage of you and try to guilt you into paying for as much as possible. Probably a great place to go if you know a lot about cars and prices, but if you’re not an expertise on that I would definitely take your business elsewhere.
ROGER W I., Service Manager from Zimbrick Hyundai West responded on 10/29/2021 02:24 PM

Hello,

Thanks for providing some feedback on your service experience. Looking over the paperwork, I see you came in for a check engine light, air bag light and 4 recalls.  Upon arrival the car came in with some maintenance recommendations from Jeff. One concern that we round was the oil filter that has been used was physically too small. We have seen something like this cause problems for the customer down the road. Zimbrick and Jeff have a responsibility to keep your car in a safe and a reliable condition. Was there anything imparticular that you felt was too much? Please reach out to me.

Precautions weren’t taken seriously
You advertised touch free! That was not the case. I had to sign/initial work order with a pen from a random cup. No masks worn in office, not sure in service bays. You advertised being able to pay on the phone. That didn’t happen either. I had to sign CC slip as usual. I kept my mask/gloves on till arriving at home since what I experienced didn’t make me feel like precautions were taken with my car’s interior, as you advertised. I re wiped my interior at home.

Thank you for the feedback from your last visit.  I apologize if there was a misunderstanding but I don't see where you were charged for the 60k mile service or replacing the front brake pads and rotors on your vehicle.  When the vehicle was being dropped off we spoke on the phone about the services that you wanted to have performed on the vehicle.  You declined to have the 60k mile service and we performed the oil change and 4 wheel brake service per your request.  You were only charged $34.95 for the oil change and $89.95 for the brake service.  
If you would like to have the 60k mile service performed the cost for your vehicle is $579.95 plus tax.  
The front brake pads do not need to be replaced at this time on your vehicle.  There is still more than 60% of your brake pad lining remaining and replacement is not needed.  The brake service we performed will help your brake pads last longer.

I apologize your vehicle was not washed.  I do not know why that was missed we are happy to wash your vehicle if you want to stop in any time.  
If you would like to discuss any of this further please feel free to contact me directly.

Unnecessary service recommendations. Expensive quotes for wear items
My 2013 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 has been a lovely car.

I dislike Hyundai West's practices of attempting greater service revenue.
* For the 2nd time, it was suggested I flush/replace coolant at 30k or before miles, even though the factory recommends 120k miles
* $243 for a battery replacement quote, which seems way too high.
* $50 for an cabin air filter replacement quote, which I replaced 5000 miles ago for $14 myself
* Suggested service items of $99 to clean brake rotors/etc, and $99 for a 4-wheel alignment. Maybe this is needed...maybe not. I can't really trust Hyundai West to recommend what is really needed based on the above.

Unfortunately with the new store we are not able to store tires for customers anymore.  I understand this was a very convenient service but our current location has a lot more capacity than the new location we are moving to.
