You paid the same price every customer pays. You were sent an itemized list of charges and you approved it. Every ticket generated has a hazard waste fee at all of our stores. We are very transparent and have an outstanding reputation in our community. We do not steal from anyone.

I bought the car from you. Up to now, I have been disappointed by the service. I've been back and forth with you folks in the past. I was told that the engine recall had been performed on my car. That engine seized on me, during rush hour traffic on I65 with my daughter in the back seat. Either the inspection for the defect is not sufficient, or it was never done. Either way, I was left in a dangerous situation. In the nearly 8 years I've owned the car, I have been left dead on the side, or in the middle of the road 4 times. A recalled item caused me to not be able to put it in gear (switch on the brake pedal), my starter went out and I had it towed to you, my a/c went out (not stranded for that one), fuel pump failed on my way home and now this most recent one with the engine seizing up. I was happy that Hyundai stood behind their problem and replaced the engine. It was done quickly and the service team was great. That I do appreciate. I've owned several cars/trucks and kept them for long periods of time, I've not been left in a bind with those as I have been with this one. I would not purchase another.

Wallet flush time.
Needed an oil change. Tried to sell me an overpriced cabin air filter and an injector flush I did not need. This sort of business worked 20 years ago - not today. Get real and just provide a timely and fairly priced service - forget the BS and expensive parts. Very old school flim flam is not a way to build customer loyalty and trust.

Mr. Bannaga

The process is the same for all of our customers. We charge a diagnosis fee to determine what is wrong with a vehicle when a vehicle is over 5 years and over 60 thousand miles. A diagnosis for a concern with a vehicle is very different than a multi point inspection. A multi point inspection is free when your vehicle is serviced with us, it is a visual inspection for example, Brakes, lights, oil leaks. Toyota and other manufacturers do not diagnose a vehicle for free. The diagnosis fee pays for the technicians time for figuring out what is wrong with a vehicle if you decline to repair the vehicle and it is not covered under the manufacture warranty. For example if you have a check engine light on and your vehicle is over 60 thousand miles , that would be considered a diagnosis and we would ask you for a diag fee. If we determine the issue is covered under warranty you would not be charged anything. If we determine the issue is not covered under warranty and you chose to pay to have it fixed , you would only be charged to repair the vehicle. If you decline to have it fixed than you would pay the diagnosis fee and that covers the technician for his time. Hopefully i have been able to clarify the differences. If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me and we can discuss . I am more than happy to help you with your vehicle issues.

Poor customer service.
I've never been made to feel welcomed at this dealership, even though I purchased the car there. The car has been rock solid which has made the extensive warranty rather inconsequential. Now that I'm past the Hyundai warranty in into the dealership one, I would guess that nothing will be covered, as it has not been up to now. My last service was for a safety recall on the seat belt. My low tire pressure indicator was on when I dropped it off, it was still on when I picked it up. Even the low rent oil change places will put air in your tires. They've gotten my last visit out of me.

JOE B., Service Manager from Tameron Hyundai responded on 09/06/2017 06:08 AM

Mr. Wass

We service what you ask. If you brought your vehicle in for recalls only, then we will only do recalls. When your advisor goes over any recommendations with you , the low tire light should have been discussed and addressed. Often times there is a sensor issue and just putting air in a tire does not resolve the issue. Your advisor is there to serve you, and if you have any questions or concern please feel free to discuss with him. I apologize your advisor Matt Austin did not recognize you , he averages around 25 customers a day. I will make sure i discuss your experience with him so that it will not happen again.

Not sure why you feel like we are so expensive. You have had one oil change and a 7500 mile service done to your vehicle and you have a total of 120 dollars invested. Between the two services that comes out to 60.00 dollars a service and you have factory parts and factory trained techs working on your investment.  We also manage all of your recalls or campaigns and perform those updates as needed. There is a lot more value with us than with competitors.

Want to burn up your motor?
We recently had out 2013 Santa Fe Sport serviced at Tameron Hyundai in Hoover. This is where we bought out CPO SUV so we have always had it serviced here. My wife is the primary driver of the vehicle so the last time she took it to have the oil changed, she asked about a sound the tires made while driving and if it could be cause by the suspension. They advised her that both the tires and suspension were fine and they didn't hear a noise. It was time for the oil to be changed again and they told us to rotate and balance the tires every other oil change so we were having that done as well. The service advisor Matt Austin calls me to let me know the tires are feathering and he recommends an alignment of the suspension as well as rotate and balance. Slightly aggrivated that he recommends this service to reduce the noise that we again complain of from the tires but now the tires have a wear pattern that will only get worse. We did what service was recommended by the service advisors at Hyundai since we bought the vehicle with brand new tires and now we will need new tires only 9 months after purchasing because we didnt get an alignment sooner. To top it off, my vehicle now is leaking oil. There were no leaks prior to having it serviced at Tameron Hyundai and now 5 days later the oil is about a quart low and I now have oil stains on my driveway. Hopefully they didn't mess something up and they only forgot to tighten the oil pan plug or oil filter. Either way, if you want careless service with a smile go see Matt and the team at Tameron Hyundai service.

Not impressed.
This service department had my car just a couple days shy of one month. Delay after delay was experienced, and after a certain point, even the manager ran out of excuses. The first time we were called to pick up the car, it wasn't even fixed properly. No explanation was given other than "We dropped the ball." They did offer a complimentary rental car over half way through the ordeal. Worst experience. Will avoid this service department in the future and will likely never buy Hyundai again.
