I brought my 2013 Hyundai Accent to Priority Hyundai for - Takoda B.
I brought my 2013 Hyundai Accent to Priority Hyundai for a few basic services:
• Replace the driver’s sun visor
• Diagnose an A/C issue (not blowing cold)
• Replace window switches for two malfunctioning windows
• Perform a state inspection
Instead, I was presented with a $5,300+ service estimate — more than the car is worth. The quote included numerous services I did not request, such as a coolant flush, transmission flush, fuel induction cleaning, brake flush, alignment, campaign bulletin add-ons, and more.
To give one specific example: I was quoted over $1,100 to replace all window switches, even though I only needed two replaced. With a professional background in electronics troubleshooting, I can confidently say that price was unjustifiable.
I paid their $400 diagnostic fee, but declined the rest of the work and had the necessary repairs performed elsewhere at a far more reasonable cost.
I’ve documented the full estimate and reported this experience to Hyundai Corporate, the Virginia DMV Dealer Board, and the Better Business Bureau. I believe this was an aggressive attempt to upsell unnecessary work and take advantage of a customer.
I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before authorizing any repairs here.
