Thank you, Shirley, for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how concerning it can be when a vehicle issue happens unexpectedly, especially during a busy workday. I’m proud of our team for acting quickly, evaluating the concern promptly, and getting everything resolved so your husband could continue his day without unnecessary delay. Kirstie consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our guests feel informed and confident about the condition of their vehicle. Taking the time to explain findings and outline recommended maintenance is an important part of delivering a high-quality ownership experience, and it’s great to know that came through. We truly appreciate you trusting us with your Santa Fe, and we’re always here whenever you need assistance. Aiman Saleh General Manager
