Larry, Pat and Steve are great to work with
Tough situation with the supply chain environment. I am clear that the professional at Torrington Hyundai are on top of the problem and will solve the knock sensor issue as soon as a new part becomes available. Thank you for your follow-through on this, they are great to work with!

Recall problem
Car brought in for a recall of possible problem. Knock sensor is apparently utilized to determine if the recall issue is present. Car given back to me and reported to me that it’s problem free. A couple of days later, knock sensor fails and I had vehicle towed back. Sorry, parts shortage. No knock sensors available. Sitting at dealership with no end in sight. No car. Sorry I brought it in in the first place.

Good afternoon!

After speaking to Donald I believe we've resolved any misunderstanding and he understands that that parts delay is out of our control. This score only reflects your interaction with your advisor. Don said to resend the survey and he would retake it. I am truely sorry for the delay!

Scamming customers into getting services they do not need!
Basically what the title says. They tried to scam me into getting repair/replace work for things (air filters and tires) that I legitimately had done at another shop only a week before. I went to this location only because I needed some recalls taken care of.

Word of advice, when they inevitably come out with your air filters to show you how dirty they are and tell you that you need to replace them, ask them to show you where those filters came from, and if you can watch them put them back in. Any reputable and honest shop/mechanic will have no problem showing you.

Thank you Brandon for your review. The tech in question is our shop foreman for 12 years I cannot accuse him with no evidence. So I have my IT guy pulling up the cameras to see what took place. In the interim can you fax me a copy of this previous service visit to help me decide what took place showing the filters and tires changed? Let me know. Thank you. 
Fax 860-496-0343.......look forward to resolving this.

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry we didn't tell you that all oil and filter changes take up to an hour because it includes a free multi point inspection which includes removing your wheels to inspect your brakes,topping off your fluids,inspecting your drive belts,checking for any leaks,measuring tire depth etc as for the time outside the car is pulled out by the tech then the tech fills out the paper work for the inspection than hands it in to the advisor to print out for you. If you want just and oil and filter change and skip the inspection we can accommodate you in the future and cut the time down to a half hour. If you would like to discuss this with me feel free to call my cell 860-202-9091

Long gone are the days of full service.
What ever happened to the service area doing a quick detail on your car, or have those days gone away?
CHRISTOPHER D. from Torrington Hyundai responded on 10/12/2021 05:32 AM

Thank you for your review. Not sure what happened with your service visit just confused with some of the comments made regarding cleanness. The whole dealership was cleaned the night before your arrival and bathrooms fully stocked also we offer coffee and water and FREE wifi. Car washing is performed if you ask us on your visit we do not wash every car. The service lounge has brand new furniture that is less than a year old. If you would like to discuss further please feel free to call me 860-489-0471.

I don't want to review
This is a forced posting and does not give a sense of my full view. There was not full disclosure on maintenance services before they were undertaken and I feel I was charged inappropriately.
CHRISTOPHER D. from Torrington Hyundai responded on 01/06/2022 01:24 PM

Thank you for your review. I reviewed the appointment that you made and is was for the factory 15000 mile service which is normally $239.95. Your Hyundai plan pays for a portion of that including the oil change and tire rotation. Larry your advisor believes he explained this to you prior to work being performed. I'm sorry for the confusion. please advise me when you dropped it off what was said to you in regards to your responsibility. Thank you.

Problem with repair
Although service dept quickly rectified problem, car was originally returned to me in dangerous condition.
I've had all work on my 2008 Hyundai performed at this dealer and this is first time I've had a problem like this. Mistakes happen, so I will be back. Hopefully, work will be checked more closely after this experience.

Poor communication
This service dept does not notify customers when there is a problem with appointment times or parts coming in. If customer service tells you the service dept is going to call you, don’t hold your breath. You will be calling them back. Don’t be surprised if you have an appt set up, drive there, and are told that you can just go home because the part they ordered isn’t in. “Maybe by next week”. It is unprofessional and disrespectful to have your customers drive around town (in a car that needs service) for no reason.

Less than impressed
I had a wonderful experience purchasing my certified used santa fe test drove and put down payment on a Friday, and following day, drove off with the car. I was told I could bring the car in to have a second key made, but as it turns out the key guy was only avail on Tuesdays for a few hours, which of course I am unavailable to make, but they would have him call me to set up an appointment or have my car picked up (has not happened). On that same day I asked them to look into a speaker that sounded like garbage, the sound couldn't be reproduced on the spot and was told it was most likely the plastic in the door vibrating or from either XM or bluetooth with strong signals. I was not very impressed at all.

Good Afternoon,  We've read you survey and have attempted to contact you via telephone but the individual that answered stated you have not lived there for some time.  As such, if you could call me 860-489-0471 we'd appreciate it.  We're shocked at the poor survey and poor experience you encountered and would like to discuss it with you.  Your advisors survey rating is directly attached to his performance and anything below 5 stars is a failure on his part. Please give me a call. 

Thank you,

JOHN M. from Torrington Hyundai responded on 01/28/2019 05:22 AM

Good Morning, 

Let me first say that an oil change duration is one hour and wiper blades are around 15-20 minutes depending on the difficulties taking them off and putting them on.  Neither are excessive and the times allowed are standard within the field. I'm not sure what you were expecting but the standard times mentioned above allow the technician to perform a professional job on a customers vehicle. Your advisor read your survey and recalls mentioning to you that the service would take an hour to an hour and one half.  Maybe there was some type of communication issue present. As part of our process I'm sending you a re-score survey. Should you givbe the advisor 5 stars the average score would come to a 4. 4 is still a failure on the advisors part and after speaking with him about your comments, he understands the importance of the customer knowing what the waiting time is.

Service was quick. They were to call me as soon as the car was done, but they didn't do so until I already had the car for over 3 hrs. I don't know if this was because I was there when the car was ready but I find it strange. Didn't see the kid taking the car into the service bay wear a mask and don't know if it was wiped down after due to precautions for Covid. Also was not told of any precautions. I wiped the car down myself just to make sure.

Staff were excellent to deal with. Original scheduled date had to be rescheduled due to lack of technicians that day, but I was notified a few days before and was able to easily reschedule. Website for initially scheduling service online is pretty confusing and frustrating, but I was able to discuss with someone at the dealership beforehand to correct the service details. I would not use that again.
