Thank you for your comments.

We are sorry our car wash did not meet your expectations.  We have noted your "raincheck" and of course you are welcome to return any time and we will take care of that for you.

Michael,

Thank you for listening to my concerns over the telephone and resolving all the issues from last week mentioned in the January 19th review. Also, I appreciate your good customer service in addition to you replacing the chin spoiler at no charge.

Rude Service Advisor
I would recommend this business; but, not recommend Service Advisor, Ricardo Garcia. If I need help with service, Ricardo did not need to be rude to me because the he has personal problems.

On Wednesday, January 16, 2019, I went to Earnhardt Hyundai for Service at 8445 E Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd in Scottsdale, Arizona for an oil change and regarding an issue with my front bumper on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited. Since I have purchased my Elantra, the Lower Front Bumper Lip Assembly has been falling off. When I would bring the issue to my Service Advisor, Ricardo Garcia over a number of service visits, Ricardo would push it back into place. However, the Lower Front Bumper Lip Assembly continued to fall off and drag on the ground. During my last visit on Wednesday, January 16, 2019, I asked Ricardo if he can get the part for the bumper replaced or secure it somehow. Ricardo became rude and snappy with me by falsely accusing me of going over a parking bumper and told me, "JUST TAKE IT OFF, NO ONE WILL NOTICE!" I did not want to argue with Ricardo and had the Lower Front Bumper Lip Assembly taken off and put in my trunk. I feel that Ricardo did not want to deal with the issue.

On Friday, January 18, 2019, I went back to the Hyundai Service Department mentioned earlier to talk to Ricardo again. I was told that Ricardo had the day off and I spoke with Michael Southern the Service Director. I told Michael the issue I had with Ricardo and Michael said that he would have a brand new Lower Front Bumper Lip Assembly replaced at no charge during my next appointment on Friday, January 25, 2019. Michael told me that Ricardo had problems with a girlfriend and Ricardo usually does not act poorly. I let Michael know that Ricardo should not bring his personal problems to work. Michael Southern apologized for Ricardo and I left the service department.

Sincerely,
Regis Ross

We are sorry this was not your best visit to our store.  There were some misunderstandings both when you worked with Ricardo and when you and I reviewed your concerns.

We are sorry you did not accept our goodwill gesture to replace your chin spoiler.  We will provide you with a referal to another Hyundai dealer for future concerns.

Michael S. from Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale responded on 08/15/2017 02:42 PM

We are sorry you feel your service visit took too long.

Generally our Car Care Express service can do oil changes and more in under 1 hour.  Two hours is far outside all of our expectations.

I have reviewed all of the repair orders from the day of your visit to see if I could learn what happened.  Unfortunately, I cannot find any repair orders for oil changes that day that actually took the amount of time you describe.

I hope you will contact me directly so we can learn how and where we let you down so we can improve our service going forward.

Even the negative feedback we appReciate as it helps us grow.  We are sorry that your visit did not go as planned but we would like the opportunity to make it up to you in the future.

Awful customer service for a low tire
Brought car in due to low tire, they filled it up with air, didn't look at it, there was a nail in the tread, had to bring back next day due to it being flat, since they didn't look at it day before I had to replace tire for $101 due to sidewall being damaged instead of a nominal tire repair job. If I would have went to local auto repair shop I passed on the way, this would not have happened.

Michael S. from Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale responded on 04/29/2017 08:55 AM

We are sorry about your tire.

Flat tires always seem to happen at the worst times.  If we had noted a significant disparity in the amount of air in any of your tires we would have certainly advised you to leave the vehicle and inspected it further.

In the future, Hyundai roadside assistance is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  So if you ever do have a flat tire let them bring your vehicle in for you so you are not forced to drive on it.

We strive to provide excellent customer service and we do wish we could have helped you not drive on your tire until it was no longer repairable.  Please use roadside assistance if you have a future incident of this nature.

Four and a half hours to replace a battery ridiculous
Not happy with there service time to replace a battery
Not Recommended
Michael S. from Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale responded on 11/27/2016 12:06 PM

We agree.

Batteries usually are done with our Car Care Express service, we can do batteries and more while you wait.  When you dropped off the car and left it, we worked it into the schedule when there were no other vehicles and customer service who had appointments waiting.

Our advisor did explain our shop load and your vehicle was ready when we promised.  Your battery was done in less than 30 minutes, and delivered on time, it may be a little unfair to say it took four and  a half hours, four and a half hours is when YOU said you would be back to pick up your car.

Batteries never fail at a good time, and we the circumstances had been different on your visit.  Maybe next time your battery fails we'll be a little less busy, or you will stay with your car and we'll do our best to get you back on the road faster.

Unethical!!!
My husband usually prefers being with me to get my car serviced but due to our schedules and also since I have had fairly good experience with Earnhardt Hyundai in the past, I have been going in alone to get my oil changed and have not had any issues. My husband is a car guy (he collects and restores car) and although he has appreciated my previous experiences with Earnhardt Hyundai he is also aware that when it comes to cars, women often fall victim to unnecessary service and maintenance charges that dealerships charge. This was never an issue for us until my recent experience which has now made my husband and I question this dealership's ethical standards. We agreed to have the 60.000 mile service done but as they were working on the car, they said the brake pads also needed to be replaced. Our bill was going to be around $200 more than the initially quoted $590.00. My husband was suspicious but since we were getting ready to go on a road trip and we have never had any issues with this dealership, he agreed to get this service done as well. He asked to have the old brake pads back and as it turns out it was still perfectly fine. We could have waited until a couple more oil changes to get it done but the way it was presented to me was it was a dire situation that needed immediate attention. I guess they figured we were already spending a lot of money, why not add more to the bill while you were at it. The itemized bill did not reflect the charges properly and this is where we really questioned how we were really getting charged. Unethical? My husband was so mad after seeing the bill and the replaced brake pads that were still good and very upset with how he felt I was taken advantage of.

Michael S. from Earnhardt Hyundai North Scottsdale responded on 07/20/2016 03:21 PM

We are certainly disappointed to hear you feel this way after your service. 

We do take your safety seriously and while you could certainly have risked waiting another oil change interval to replace your brakes, our recommendation, especially with a road trip coming up, would be to replace the brakes when we did.  At 75,000 miles you had achieved fanstatic wear out of the original brakes, and we will hope you achieve similar wear from the replacement brake pads we installed.

Our recommendations do not vary based on gender.  In 2016 women are just as likely, or more likley to be the decision makers for vehicle maintenance.  You have described a very outdated stereo-type. We do not treat women any differently than we treat men.  Our service recommendations were based on the vehicle only.  Your brakes were at the end of thier service life and our recommendation was for your safety and peace of mind on your road trip.

If you ever have questions before, during, or after your service, you are welcome to ask any of us and we will work with you to find a solution.

Communication needs improvement
I normally go to the one in Gilbert. I scheduled an appointment a week in advance. Was not told that parts wouldn't be ready and would need to be ordered. I had to call numerous times to get responses. I was never reached out to first in order to receive updates. Left my car over night to get all of the recalls fixed. Tried to pressure me into getting a part fixed I didn't want fixed.

They covered a rental which was super nice of them. The guy I dealt with was nice for the most part but terrible at communication. I will go back to Gilbert in the future despite working across the street.

Great Service Writer, but Cost of Repairs a Total Rip Off!
Service writer was GREAT. Very detailed, professional and courteous. Did not have parts need in stock and I would have had to loose the use of my vehicle for yet another day. I shopped on the Internet and found a local window motor repair specialty shop who got me in the same day and the repair has a lifetime warranty and the cost was 48% lower than the Dealership. I has other items that needed to be addressed as routine service items as well as rear brakes. Hyundai estimate was in excess of $800.00 and this past Sunday I went to Firestone at the Luke Air Force Base and had the brakes and other items taken care of for just a little over $500.00; a savings of 38% over the Dealership prices. Bottom line, unless it a warranty item or a recall item DO NOT go to a Car Dealership. I do not think that it is just Hyudai that is ripping people off, but probably most Dealerships.

Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions, we're glad your service writer Ricardo was professional and courteous during your visit.

Our owners have the right to expect only Hyundai Genuine Parts are installed by our dealership.  Use of parts not purchased directly from Hyundai for the repair of our vehicles may negatively affect the vehicle's safety and operation.  As a Hyundai dealer, we only install Hyundai approved original equipment parts to protect our customers.

It has always been the case that someone, somewhere, will do a job cheaper, especially if using "alternative" parts and fluids.

We did not invent the saying that you get what you pay for, but we have been on the correcting end of work done by others often enough to know that the saying has merit.

There is undoubtably additional value in having the correct parts and fluids used on your vehicle, ensuring your safety and protecting your investment. 

Despite your comments neither manufacturers nor dealerships are in the business of 'ripping people off.'  The service technicians who have dedicated themselves to one manufacturer are committed to being the most knowledgable, best trained, and most competent technicians to have working on your car. 

There will always be cheaper, our customers prefer correct.

Flat tires never happen at a good time.

If we could have repaired the tire for you, we would have of course.  Unfortunately when the puncture is that close to the side wall, it cannot be safely patched.

Although the tire was only a little over 6 months old, no tire is indestructible and punctures like you experienced are simply outside the manufacturer's (or the dealer's) control.

We will always work with you; we've had a long relationship and the frustration of needing a new tire notwithstanding, we are still your dealership and you know we'll be here for you in the future when you need us.
