Management reaches out
I was surprised and pleased that the Service Manager at Earnhardt Hyundai immediately contacted me regarding the issue and concerns I had following a recent oil change visit.
He thoughtfully apologized that the staff, during my time waiting in the showroom, had not met his guidelines and expectations regarding health safety during Covid-19 pandemic. A meeting with the staff has already been conducted to emphasize and remind everyone of the behaviors expected. I was also told that chairs have been placed outside for customers who need or wish to further social distance.
Regarding my questions concerning the Class Action Settlement:. requires a lengthy explanation, which I was provided. In short, my car has already had the adjustment needed and as a result, Hyundai is providing a lifelong warranty on the engine...WOW!!

My worries and questions have been kindly and promptly responded to by management and I am again a "Happy Customer"

Showroom and service area looked like a "super spreader" event
Have always been very pleased with this dealership from the purchase to the service of my car. However, my most recent visit for an oil change became an anxiety provoking experience. Many employees with masks around chin and even a salesman sitting at his desk VAPING...yikes.
Upon arrival, I told service advisor that I needed to speak with the Service Director regarding an issue...no one ever got back to me. I still don't understand what's up with the proposed Class Action Settlement.
Can't recommend at this time, but wish I could.

Sheridan, we are disappointed that this visit caused any anxiety.

Since the beginning of Covid we have stressed safety measures in all of our stores.  Masks required, social distancing, frequent cleaning and sanitizing of all of our areas, public and private.  We have had frequent meetings covering our expectations and the behaviors you describe certainly don't match what we've made clear we expect from our team.

I would like to talk more with you and I know you have questions regarding the Class Action Settlement on your Sonata.  I hope to get a chance to answer all of those questions and to apologize that this visit was not up to the standards you've come to expect from us and that we've intended to deliver for you when you visit.

Please accept our heartfeul apologies and know that we will take actions as a direct result of your comments and concerns.

Michael Southern
Service Manager

Customer service manager was very efficient. It was nice to also get a car wash.
I would most likely use another company for service because of lower cost. Considering all other circumstances, your service department is exceptional.

how is it you keep a car for two days and you can not fix the problem
Not Recommended
Michael S. from Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale responded on 10/19/2020 02:07 PM

Gregory we're sorry to hear your concerns were not fixed.

Noises that happen over 75mph are difficult for us to pin down, we did commit quite a bit of time and more than 35 miles of test driving trying to pin down your noise and we're sorry to hear that the molding we replaced on your driver's rear window did not turn out to be the ultimate cause. 

I'd like to find time that you and our shop foreman could go for a drive together so you can demonstrate your noise for him.  We did think we had the solution and it would never be our intention to return your car to you unfixed.

Please call me to coordinate we'll get to the bottom of this.

Stood behind the product and followed thru in a very timely manner to ensure that all of my concerns were addressed and fixed. Michael S involved himself personally in the process from initially bringing in the vehicle for service to ultimate delivery of the vehicle with the initial issue completely rectified. It was very reassuring from a customer perspective to have someone stand up and take responsibility for seeing the problem from initial identification through ultimate successful resolution.
Thank you Michael for all of your personal involvement.

Jeff thank you for the feedback.

We understand your concerns about the seeming discoloration of your dash pad.  Although Hyundai does not cover slight irregularities that do not effect function of the part, we would still be happy to petition Hyundai on your behalf to see if there is a possible resolution.  Although this was your first visit to our store, we do hope it will not be the last.  I'd apprecaite if you would contact us soon so we can see what we can do help resolve this issue.

You may contact me directly.
