Mrs Hart

You arrived with out an appointment around 4:30 in the afternoon needing your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. We did the best we could to accommodate . We repaired your vehicle given the time frame and work schedule. We also discovered the issue  stems from a water bottle that was left under your seat. We absorbed the expense for you instead of charging you. Given the circumstances I feel as if my team went above and beyond to help you. I am sorry you feel as if your service advisor was rude to you. We spoke in length today about your visit with us to make sure your next visit with us could be more pleasurable.

Review of Tameron Hyundai dealership

Mr. Greenough

Hyundai has not supplied the dealers with the parts to perform the recall juts yet. Currently there is no remedy for the 195 on your vehicle as we stated. This is not a dealership issue but a manufacture issue. The survey is a direct reflection of the dealership at time of visit. I hope you can re score us with a five star , seeing how the issue is not with the dealership.The manufacturer sends correspondence to the customer in regards to any and all re calls as soon as possible whether or not the dealership has parts or not.

Service Adviser (Matt) handled my appointment over the phone courteously and efficiently. While in the waiting area, all customers were wearing masks and seated a safe distance apart. I also noticed all employees I encountered were wearing masks. I had a short wait for service. This was my second visit for service and both went very well.

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.

We will see how it goes. If Tameron follows thru then I would consider recommending , otherwise I would be very hesitant. will give them benefit of doubt.

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.
