Took delivery on new '25 Ioniq 5 on M, 8/11 at GGH. (will cover that separately). Same day, took delivery of another '25 Ioniq 5 at Huntington Beach. As soon as I got on the 22 to 405 fway, noticed (will cover that separately). Same day, took delivery of another '25 Ioniq 5 at Huntington Beach. As soon as I got on the 22 to 405 fway, noticed steering wheel not centered. Off by 1/2 clock hour. Sent an immediate message to my sales person & said he would make service appt. Next morning when he got in- he messaged me and asked if I could make it to service at 10AM (it was 915 and I live 24 miles away). I arrived at 1010. Scott Lee was my service advisor. Nice person. He looked at the notes and I explained what I noted on the delivery drive home. Was given time frame ~ 2-3 hours- made myself comfortable in the dealership. Missed called from an unknown 714 #, but no message ~ 2 hours later. Used service text thread that was sent at drop off, but no response. Walked over to service & Scott was very busy. He said car was aligned and handed me a print out w/ pre (very out of whack) & post- said it no longer pulls- should be good to go. Front end on was still in yellow and caster in the red which made me a little uneasy. I’ve never had post alignment where it wasn’t all green. On the bottom in red "One or more values are not within specification. Tire wear, handling and safety problems may result.” Reluctantly took car & drove home. Steering wheel was centered on fway. Passed by my local Hyundai dealer (South Bay) & decided to pull into service and ask their opinion. First question- was this car in an accident? No- just took delivery yesterday and came from selling dealer service. “For brand new car- it should all be green and since GG did the alignment- Hyundai only covers 1 warranty alignment in 1st 12 months- they claimed it already- and I would have to charge you $150. You should take it back to GG and have them make it right.” Back to other Ioniq 5 from sister store- had the similar issue- driven onto freeway and steering wheel not centered- less than GG one. Sales there asked me to make service appt. Made one online and headed straight back to HB service. Alignment was good, but steering wheel was so slight and only 30 miles on odometer so they said to just watch the alignment (same 1x in 12 months warranty covered one if needed). I shared what happened with the GG car and he gave me Hyundai Customer Care number and recommended creating case in case of any pushback on re-doing alignment- he agreed new car should all be green. So I reached out GG service via service text thread. No response. Tried to call. Unable to reach live person. Messaged sales person- but that’s not his job. Booked online new service appt for Tues, Aug 19. Hyundai Customer Case created. T, 9/19, when I went to drop off car- there was a little push back since it “doesn’t pull anymore”. But after discussing my concerns about irregular tire wear and not in the green, when I mentioned that a case was created- documentation seemed to get a little tighter and said that this would not be something I could wait for since they would need the car longer and to go over with service director. No loaners available. No ride share service would be available since I live more than 10 miles out. Since I was now stuck- Scott said that he would as a courtesy give me a 1 way Lyft home. I asked if he could ask the service manager since this was an issue since delivery and a 2nd trip. Denied. At 315p, I received a text message (and VM) that car was ready for pick up. I had already made plans around Orange and LA County. I asked one more time if I could get a Lyft back to dealership tomorrow AM since it’s 2nd time for something that started at delivery. Denied again- and was explained that this service would not qualify for loaner or ride share. Uber ~ $90-130 pre-tip. Way to take care of your customer- especially selling dealer. Hope alignment is all green. 1st time Hyundai experience- hasn’t been the best. More

Avoid Garden Grove Hyundai: My Car Was Stolen During Servicing Due to Their Negligence I recently went through a terrible experience with Hyundai and Garden Grove Hyundai that has left me frustrated Servicing Due to Their Negligence I recently went through a terrible experience with Hyundai and Garden Grove Hyundai that has left me frustrated and disappointed. I've been a loyal Hyundai customer since day one and even owned two previous Hyundai cars. However, my trust in the brand was shattered after my third Hyundai became a nightmare. I left my one-year-old car for servicing at Garden Grove Hyundai, and to my shock, it was stolen right from their service area due to their poor security measures. The entire situation was a mess, and it's hard to believe that something like this could happen. To make matters worse, when I initially purchased the car, Garden Grove Hyundai charged me over $2000 more than the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) under the pretext of a "market adjustment." They also included a Luna GPS application, which I later discovered was redundant since Hyundai already offers the BlueLink service for the same purpose. Following the theft, both Hyundai and the dealer washed their hands of the matter, directing me to their insurance. The insurance offered only the market value of the vehicle, which was 25% less than what I had paid for it. Seeking fair compensation, my emails were met with silence, and both Hyundai and Garden Grove Hyundai suggested I take them to court – something I never imagined having to do as a loyal Hyundai customer. This experience has left me deeply disheartened. As someone who has been loyal to Hyundai, having owned three of their cars, it's painful to write this review. The lack of empathy, responsibility, and care demonstrated by Hyundai and its dealer has led me to make a drastic decision – I'm switching to Tesla. In conclusion, if you're considering Garden Grove Hyundai, especially if you've been a loyal customer like me, be wary. My terrible experience with their poor security measures, questionable pricing tactics, and lack of customer support should serve as a cautionary tale. Save yourself the trouble and look for a brand that genuinely cares about its customers. More
Very disappointed and frustrated with the service I received this morning for my pre-scheduled 10:15am appointment to take care of a Recall on my Santa Fe. At the very least, at the time I made the app received this morning for my pre-scheduled 10:15am appointment to take care of a Recall on my Santa Fe. At the very least, at the time I made the appointment, I should have been made aware of the construction and the issues it could cause, but nothing was said. When I arrived the dealership was in complete disarray due to construction to their Service Center. The were no signs or employees to guide customers so the front are was completely blocked off by customers in their vehicles not knowing where to go. Since there were no signs and I was blocked off to my right, I went to my left, past the Service Center thinking that they were checking in customers at the back side of the Service Area. Big mistake, the area was so packed in that I am very lucky I was not hit. I finally made it back up front and was able to find a parking spot and proceeded to walk inside the sales froor, where a makeshift service check in area was set up. I was then told that I needed to get in the line of cars that was at least a dozen cars long even though I explained that I had made an appointment and was there on time. At that point I said that I was going to reschedule and left. When I got home I called the dealership to speak to the Service Mananger but was told the Leonard never works on Saturdays and there was no other Manager could speak to until Tuesday. Completely unacceptable. I will not be returning to Garden Grove Hyundai and will be taking my business elsewhere when servicing my 2 Hyundai vehicles or making any additional purchases. More
My car was towed 9/14/22 to Hyundai of Garden Grove due to overheating from a hose rupture. It cost $230 for diagnostic which meant visually noticing that there is a tear in the hose. This is an unreasonab to overheating from a hose rupture. It cost $230 for diagnostic which meant visually noticing that there is a tear in the hose. This is an unreasonable cost to diagnose something simple. In the end it cost $1,625 to replace 2 large radiator hoses, 2 small hoses near the firewall and 1 sensor. All the hoses were held in place by clamps and sensor (plug and screw on the ends). These were simple to replace but it took them 7.2 hours and over 5 days to do it. I wonder how they make money if it takes a mechanic 7.2 hours to replace such trivial parts. Now I know - they rip you off by padding the hours. On top of that when I received the old parts back, I noticed that 3 of the hoses were still in good condition. So here is another way they rip you off - replace parts that are still usable. Just because I refused other recommended services they held my car hostage until 9/20/22 when the service advisor called me at home after 7PM which was a little late to pick up my car. He had promised to call at 2PM. Throughout the whole time my car was there I had to call to check on the status, Not once did they call me to keep me updated. The service advisor aka con artist is Mark Sanchez. Hyundai of Garden Grove is a terrible place to take your car for service. They have shown me poor customer service, that they are untrustworthy con artists and unreliable service. In the end: Parts = $412 / Labor = $1,625 / Days in shop = 6 days More
This was by far the most frustrating experience I have ever had dealing with the service department. About six weeks ago I had my Elantra that I purhcased to this dealership brought in for repairs. Afte ever had dealing with the service department. About six weeks ago I had my Elantra that I purhcased to this dealership brought in for repairs. After being told that my car would be ready by the next day, then in about a week, and finally over a month later, still have not picked up my car. The service department has been nothing but rude, dishonest, and unhelpful. I have received every kind of excuse about parts being on order, not receiving paperwork from my insurance company (which was a lie), and more. Now the service department is threatening me with storage fees if I do not pick the car up this week because they will not wait for approval from my insurance company, I will not be doing business at this dealership ever again, and I do not advise anybody else to give them business either. Utterly ridiculous and unprofessional, rude service employees who tried to wrongfully charge me for repairs covered by my insurance company. More
This is an updated review of the Warranty repair of my 2021 Hyundai Sonata here. I waited about 9 months to get my car, but the day I picked it up, I had to wait another 7 hours to simply wait for a car w 2021 Hyundai Sonata here. I waited about 9 months to get my car, but the day I picked it up, I had to wait another 7 hours to simply wait for a car wash without being able to do anything. I was even late for my work, so I had to explain everything happened here. In addition to that, after I got my car, I figured out that the cap that covers the key hole on the handle is gone, so I asked them where it is. It ended up being lost, so they told me that they ordered it and will arrive at my residence by Wednesday. Today is Thursday, and it did not arrive, so I called there today to locate the cap, and they have no idea what I am talking about, and they told me to wait for a call back after they locate it, but I have not received any call back for about 3 hours. I do not know how to explain how I feel, but one thing I can say is that I do not know if I will ever trust Hyundai anymore. They are being totally irresponsible for their own fault. All I wanted is the location of the part that was not even supposed to be removed from the car, and they are treating me really poorly. More
This dealership is OVERCHARGING and are ABSOULTELY NON-RESPONSIVE to CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS Took my ELECTRIC IONIQUE 2019 there for service. 1. They did not give me an estimate when I dropped the NON-RESPONSIVE to CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS Took my ELECTRIC IONIQUE 2019 there for service. 1. They did not give me an estimate when I dropped the car. Said they will call with one. Never did. 2. Told me car will be ready in 2 days because they needed parts for re-calls. When I called back in 2 days I was told they don't have the car...service rep asked me twice if I was sure I dropped the car with them because he was not finding it in their system. Took them half a day to find it ...in their own parking lot. 3. When I finally picked up the car after 3 days, they gave me a bill for $500. The bill was NOT ITEMIZED. I asked for an itemized bill. Was told they don't have one. Initially I was told the service only involves replacing the battery coolant, cabin air filter replacement and tire rotation. I have had major service done on ICE cars (involving engine and transmission oil changes plus filters) for less than that. 4. One of the services "performed" was tire inspection and rotation. The next morning after I picked up my car from them , when I started driving the CHECK TIRE light came on. When I checked the tire pressure, ALL TIRES WERE LOW BY 6 PSI or more. They obviously never inspected the tire pressure. 5. Asked to speak with Kevin, the service assistant who was responsible for the car, in order to get an itemized bill. TWO weeks have gone by...no response from Kevin After one week I called the dealership and asked to talk to the GM. Another week went by, still no contact from them. I called a couple other dealerships, and was quoted $210 for this service. More

This service dept is one of the most unpleasant & overcharging dealerships I visited for my Hyundai's over the years. Not honoring the service coupon it sent & charging for twice the number of hours overcharging dealerships I visited for my Hyundai's over the years. Not honoring the service coupon it sent & charging for twice the number of hours for services while the vehicle was in for a few hours. I even started suspecting if the actually performed the work listed on the invoice. It is totally different experience from that at Northern CA dealers where I moved from. I would consider going to another location. More
