My Review of Dodge Hyundai of Paramus:
Recently my car broke down and Hyundai Roadside Assistance towed my car to Paramus Hyundai. When I spoke to the Service Manager he told me that all the car needed was maintenance work done; I was charged $700.
On my way home from picking up the car, the car stalled again and it was towed back to Paramus Hyundai. After a second look, the Service people were able to diagnose that radaitor was causing the car to stall. This leads me to believe they did not look at the car and just felt they could sweep the dirt under the rug and claim that all the car needed was maintenance work.
The service department manager misdiagnosed the proplem and overcharged me for work that it did not need. I trusted Paramus Hyundai to price me fairly and not try to rip me off by adding things that were not needed like, windowshield wiper fluid and an oil change!
When we confronted the Service Department Manager, he claimed that he was in the right because I gave him authorization. I'm not a trained mechanic, but he told me this is what was needed to fix the problem. I trusted him to give me a fair diagnosis!
Fast forward two weeks, and I still do not have a car. They never offered a loaner nor was there ever an update to the car. On all occassions we had to contact him for an update and most of the time he was never there to pick up the call. He also said that his voice mail was broken and that's why he was never able to return calls. Likely excuse??!!
This whole experience has been a huge inconvenience and a terrible headache. I'm very inclined to buy another car and wash my hands of Hyundai. Their services, like Roadside Assistance and Warranties, at first seem attractive but don't be fooled, they have no idea how to coordinate a tow or price people fairly.
If you have a hyundai and are considering get service done at Paramus Dodge Hyundai stay clear, go somewhere else, these people will rip you off and look for items that they can charge you that are are not covered under the car's warranty.
