Good service!
After talking with the staff members, who were extremely helpful, my issues have been addressed. I am happy with the service I received and the explanations I was given.

Average Service
I was disappointed with the amount of time it took to get my car serviced. It took over 30 minutes to get it from the parking area to the service garage and more than 2 hours total time on the service call.

Thanks for making things right
After indicating an issue with my previous service, First Team called to apologize and has taken steps to make things right which I greatly appreciate.

Usually great service but this time it took too long
Typically I have an excellent experience but services that have typically been completed in under an hour took 2 and a half hours this time.

It’s working now.
I brought my car in for a recall and when I left there was mechanic dirt on my tan door handle and my AC didn’t work. I finally got my call back and I was scheduled to have my car looked at. Apparently something wasn’t plugged in all the way when my recall work was complete. My AC now works. I had tried to get the mechanic dirt off my tan door handle, but it just didn’t come off. They took care of that too. Technically, it all works now.
Original Review
Yeah, the motor was replaced but...
I had a recall and my motor had to be replaced. I got a rental not comparable to my car and I had it for about a month and half. When the job was done and I went to pick up my car, they wanted me to spend over $4800.00 on other things they found during their inspection of my vehicle. Funny, they can inspect all these other things but no one seemed to notice that my AC wasn’t working when they were done, despite it working wonderfully when I dropped it off. I’m not digging money out of my pocket for a business that can’t pay attention to what they’re doing. I called and left a message, but still no return call.
STACEY R G., Hyundai Service Manager from First Team Hyundai responded on 10/18/2019
I am so sorry no one has returned your phone call. I will have your advisor call so you can get discuss your issue with your AC.

Best Service Ever
I recently did a survey on First Team and related that they reinspected my car and I thought they had not rechecked the problem. I was wrong but was going on what a manager at a tire business had told me stating my wheel bearing had not been fixed. it had not been fixed.No sooner had I submitted my survey that I received a call from First Team who offered to fix something another business had, who we were incorrectly lead to believe, had not fixed the problem, but were going to do this at no charge to me. Who does that now days! I can’t express my appreciation for such an offer. I was so overwhelmed! Yes, by all means, I rate First Team Service 5 stars. I’d give them a higher rating if were possible. I feel they are very trustworthy and would highly recommend their service department!!!

Stunned
Service has always been great until this last time. I’ll still go back but can’t believe they gave me an inspection sticker when the problem had not actually been corrected. The shop I took it to did not replace the bearing as they said they did and what I paid them to do but I didn’t know that and when I took car to have a good inspection sticker put on First Team evidently did not check to see if the cause for the initial rejection had been fixed and passed it. Only after a couple of days later after they had been given a good inspection sticker did I realize the car still had not been fixed because of the noise and vibrations from it and after taking it to another garage and being told I needed a wheel bearing on the same wheel.

Greedy & dishonest - will never return for service or purchase!!!
My car is less than a year old, purchased brand new - 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited. Around Thanksgiving, it was not detecting my key fob and I was having a difficult time starting the car. I called First Team and they instructed me how to override the start by pushing the start button with the key fob and instructed me to come in because it was probably the battery. I came in and purchased a new battery for the key fob. I continued to have issues with detection of the key fob. The morning of the service, my car would not start. All the lights on the dash would blink on and off and the car was making a repetitive clicking noise before it completely froze and none of the lights on the dash or headlights would turn off. I was instructed to have the car towed into First Team. I spent $75 to have the vehicle towed to the dealership and had to take an Uber to work. I am a single mom and could not be late or miss time from work. No one from First Team notified me when the car arrived onsite or contacted me to ask questions about what the issues were. I had to call them to find out they not only had the car but it was ready for pick up. Once arriving to pick up my car I was charged $520.29 and was told it was my battery. The car was towed in for a no start but was treated for misfire or drive ability issue. The air filter and cabin air filter was replaced - my car only has 16,000 miles on it - how was this needed? Fuel injection and throttle body cleaning service was completed - I was told from several mechanics that neither of these are dealer recommended and can actually void the warranty. Why was this completed on my vehicle? I was charged $368.49 for labor - according to the paperwork of services administered I should have only been charged 2 hours labor not 4 - according to the paperwork: RO was opened at 9:29am and closed as ready at 1:18pm. Standard: Cabin filter - .3 of an hour to replace, air filter .2 of an hour, fuel injection 1hr, throttle body .5 of an hour - why was I charged $368.49? I would like to see technician 603's Hyundai certification for working on cars for First Team Auto Mall. Everything I paid for was an up sell and not a service that was required for the repair of my vehicle. This is my 3rd car from First Team Auto Mall (the other 2 were VW's, this is the first Hyundai) and I have never ever received this poor of service. I am highly dissatisfied and will never bring my car back to the dealership for service nor purchase another vehicle from a company who is so untrustworthy and is only concerned about stuffing the technician's pocket with commission from the up sell of unnecessary services!

Survey follow-up
I was surprised to receive a call from a Hyundai Rep regarding my survey I completed..I explained why I rated my service visit the way I did..He was very apologetic and offered me free oil change on my next visit and that they will pass this information on regarding letting customers know up front if there is a long wait time for whatever reason..I told him I have been a loyal customer for 15 years and havebeen happy with their service..happy enough that I purchased a second elantra from them,,Keep up the good work everyone!!

The staff and my service is always very good,just not the past couple of visits.
The staff and my service are great..I purchased and had my 2003 elantra serviced there from the beginning..So I've been coming there for 15 years..If the service wasn't good I would not have purchased my 2017 elantra from them.My only suggestion is communication with the customer up front,when we call to make the appointment, that the wait time may be longer than usual..whether we're waiting for it or leaving it..Not everyone can leave our cars and come back.

Not impressed
For a dealership shop, it does not meet my expectations for higher quality and exceeding what I could get at any other local garage/mechanic. It is also disappointing that no coupons are sent out, such as they were with my previous dealership that I bought from. I feel like I bought at First Team and there is no further benefit for bringing my business back for follow up on the product I bought. It's almost like it doesn't really matter that I got the car there.

Thank you for your feedback. Honestly, we did not have any experience with this problem as we have never seen this particular issue with a navigation system which is why our shop foreman spent almost two hours on the phone with not only map n soft but Hyundai techline as well. We ordered the antenna for your vehicle per Hyundai techline and were willing to submit for goodwill for your radio if the antenna did not correct the issue. However, if you are not comfortable with this and feel like it will not take care of your issue you are more than welcome to take it to another dealership for a second opinion. Please just let me know what you would like to do.
