Not so much
2 hours for a scheduled oil change. Was one month late for free oil change with only 2,500 miles on new vehicle so it cost me $80. Would have been less expensive and faster to have it serviced elsewhere.

Thank you Anthony for taking the time to fill out our survey!

I apologize you had less than exceptional service visit with us.
We strive to provide exactly that every time we see you.

We are in the process of making some changes here at the dealership.
I apologize that you are catching us during those changes. 
Like, we will be building a automated car wash so we can wash all cars in a timely manner.
We just changed our hours of operation to be more available for our customers. This has led into 
some appointment challenges. 

Please give us another opportunity to exceed your expectations.
I believe we can do that.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Engine recall issues
The 2014 Sonata has en engine recall/class action suit for certain models, which includes mine. I was not given accurate information about the underlying cause of the reason why my car stopped working properly. Some warranty work was completed, but the root cause of why my engine was not working right was simply denied and covered up. I understand recalls cost the company money, but it wasn't my fault that my engine was machined improperly coming off the line. Metal shavings in the engine clearly ends up with engine failure or a class action suit wouldn't have been created. Just own up to what happened and make it right. And don't lie to customers who know nothing about cars and try to sell them a bunch of other products even though their car is going to die.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey.
Your opinion is very important to us.

I apologize your experience was not satisfactory.
I want to tell you that by no means we were trying to take advantage of you or the situation.
Your vehicle needed alot of immediate and long term repairs.
The immediate repairs needed to be completed so we can address and eventually perform those long term repairs. 
There is a process that we (the dealer) and Hyundai that needs to be followed so the long term repairs can be covered/repaired under warranty.
My goal was to get to that point.
I am aware of the phrase "perception is reality" .. I know by your comments you feel you were mistreated.
I truly apologize for those feelings and would love another opportunity to gain your trust.

Please let me know if I can help with any future vehicle needs.

Thank you Gerald for completing our survey.
We take them very seriously.
I consulted our staff that was involved with your vehicle. They were quite suprised.
We feel your comments are misleading and take no consideration the condition of your vehicle when it arrived at our dealership.
Our advisor was extremely "up front and open" about the condition of your vehicle prior to the engine replacement and even made no promises about its condition after repairs. You responded "I agree and understand".
The multiple aftermarket components and the "creative" work performed previously elsewhere was extremely difficult to deal with. We did our best.

That being said, we stand behind our techs and the work they perform. If there is something that was not repaired correctly, we look forward to an opportunity to "right any wrongs".
Please contact me personally if you would like to discuss further.

Thank you for your business,

Steve

Freedom used to be more fair and competing with pricing in the past not charging retired 1st. Responders, veteran, and senior citizen over twice for parts like rear burned out brake lights and windshield wipers for a state inspection.

Thank you Michael for taking the time to fill out our survey.
Your opinion is very important to us.

We apologize you feel you did not have a completely satisfactory visit with us.
I took a look over your visit and found no inflated pricing or exhuberant charges of any kind.
We are very conscious of our pricing, especially during this time of turmoil.
My most experienced technician was the one who worked on your vehicle. He is especially detailed in his diagnosis and repairs. This may have something to do with the extended wait time you may have felt.
Please keep in mind ... every repair we do carries a 12 month/12,000 mile parts & labor guarantee.
If that same bulb happens to blow out again within that time frame, I can replace it under warranty for you at no charge.

Please give us another opportunity to exceed your expectations. I believe we can do that.
We are grateful for you and your business with us.

Enjoy the rest of your week and be safe.

P.S.  Thank you for your service as a veteran as well as a first responder. We are grateful.

Poor experience, vehicle returned dirty
I am very dissatisfied with my most recent service at Freedom. I had requested an oil change and inspection. Both of which were done correctly however, the complimentary car wash that was given left my car looking worse than it did before with noticeable streaks left behind from the wash. The interior of my car was left with dirty fingerprints on my dashboard and on the window. Some sticky residue was also left behind in the window, presumably from the inspection sticker. On top of all of that, black grease was left on my door handle. If this is how serviced vehicles are now treated at Freedom, none of my vehicles will be returning to be serviced there.
