Worked to make it right
I purchased my vehicle less then two years ago, and it had a bad water pump. When I brought it in they diagnosed my car as such. At the story progressed it was told to me that it caused my engine to blow, a very unfortunate circumstance. Darling's did make an attempt to get Hyundai to help fix this issue since it was something that is not typical and should not have happened for a well maintained vehicle. Hyundai denied the claim. When I called to speak with them they did not even give me the time of day. They refused to even give me the dispute line phone number. So then I turned to Darling inquiring about trade in value, you would think this opportunity for them would be a good one.... Sell me a second new car, repair the engine on their own dime, and then sell that high quality car to a second person. Well they would not even consider it. They offered me $500 for trade in.... on a car that was bought for almost $20,000 two years prior, in mint condition, that blue books for close to $13,000. After my initial review I was contacted my Darlings in hopes to correct the issue. They are definitely making efforts to help fix the unfortunate situation and for that I am grateful. The issues I have are not actually with Darling but more with Hyundai. Darling is great to deal with on the whole

Slow down and get it right the first time
You need to slow down and double check to make sure all caps/bolts are on properly and secure.

Pricey, but good service and amenities.
It is a modern and beautiful facility, and the service is performed properly, to the best of my knowledge. It is somewhat expensive , however.

Great Service poor results
I had absolutely no issue with any of the employees, timeliness of the service or the facility. My issue is with Hyundai. Manufacturing a vehicle that has engine failure issues only after 120K miles is unacceptable. I've driven my chevy cavalier to 148K, My GMC truck to 159K my Ford Taurus to 163K and yet I can't get more than 120K out of a 2013 GT? My recommendation to anyone I know would be to make sure they get rid of their Hyundai before 100K miles. Just to let you know, I own two Hyundais and was thinking that we would eventually replace one with another one at the right time, but now I would not.

Good morning,
I do understand that there can be frustrations as a consumer when a product fails in a time frame that seems premature.  As a dealer we make sure that we go above and beyond for our customers.  I would like to look further into your situation and offer to help in anyway that i can.  In return please remember that this survey is ONLY about the employees and customer service.  The 3 star score that was given only indicates a displeasure with out customer service.  Please indicate a 5 star rating on your re-score if you feel that is the type of service you received.  I will be reaching out to you soon to see if we can assist any further with getting your car repaired.  Thanks for your time filling out your initial response, we look forward to seeing your re-score.  We will be in touch soon.

Tapping like very worn engine at 400 miles

Jason W., Service Director from Darling's Hyundai Augusta responded on 11/21/2017

Good morning,
I reviewed the situation with our team this morning in response to your CSI feedback.  As demonstrated by the loaner vehicle that  you drove the startup noise is completely normal on the Hyundai engine.  It has proven to not have any negative impact on dependability or longevity.  I hope that you will consider a survey rescore purely on our customer service as you are not rating the product.  The survey is purely feedback on the customer service your recieved during your service visit.  If you have any further concerns with your vehicle please feel free to contact us.  We can also further the investigation of your concern and compare it to several differant brand new vehicles like yours to give you the piece of mind.

Thankfull for Devon and the service crew.
While traveling down the interstate, we thought we may have a safety problem with our car. We were able to stop in and were ready to leave the car and get a rental, but Devon was able to work us in, and the crew was able to work on it in while we waited. Thankfully there was no serious or time consuming problems and we were back on our way in a timely fashion. Safely.
We appreciate the professional and courteous service !
