Let these folks touch your property at your own risk. They gave me my car back before they were done working on it. They literally left a bunch of tools and metal under the hood. Then, they lied about a More

Mr. Webb, We have spoken several times about the issues you experienced after the engine replacement in February of 2025, and we owned our mistakes and took the necessary steps to correct those issues at zero cost to you including a thermostat replacement, replacement of the coolant hoses, replacement of the knock sensor and re-program of the ECU. I apologize that after doing all of this for free, we are still unable to meet your expectations at our dealership. Thank you, Brendan Cimino General Manager

The dealership HAS NOT owned up to any of their mistakes. They have not once admitted any of their lies or apologized for any of their lies, deception, evasion, nor their incompetence and CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. The repairs they have made have only been made after being forced to, either by corporate or by threat of litigation. They have not willingly corrected ANYTHING. He tries to frame the issues as being in the past so he doesn't have to take responsibility for the current situation. The damage done by giving me back the vehicle without having finished the engine replacement, having left so much metal under the hood, and having left the vehicle with a coolant leak cannot be understated. Of course there are still issues popping up! The dealership let me drive around for MONTHS with loose tools under the hood and a coolant leak. Even after my first finding the tools and pointing out there was no coolant, the dealership hid from me a COOLANT LEAK, meaning they let me drive it around for weeks more losing coolant again. That means the vehicle was OVERHEATING FOR MONTHS. The extreme thermal conditions the vehicle was subjected to for so long has logically led to many, many problems, even now. He tries to act like a saint for doing some repairs for "free", while ignoring the fact that his dealership caused all of those problems that needed repair. Don't be mistaken: THE DEALERSHIP IS CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, ON MARCH 20TH, 2026, REFUSING TO ADMIT THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND REFUSING TO FIX THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE THEY HAVE CAUSED TO MY VEHICLE. Oh, and notice how he didn't even respond to the intentional vandalism and cover-up?

Thank you for your review. We did have a surprise when our Safety Management Team showed up for a walk-through to check for any OSHA issues. It is a preventative step we take once per quarter to ensure compliance in that area of our business. They are surprise visits, and with every visit there is a mandatory shop training that must take place, which is what you saw. I do apologize that this happened during your visit, and I am glad that my team took steps in an attempt to make it right. I will visit with our Safety Management Team and our Service Team about this and ask that we do our walk-throughs late in the day, closer to closing time, after our business day is mostly complete to prevent this from happening to anyone else in the future. If you would like to discuss this incident further, please call at 806.810.5088 or shoot me an email at bcimino@group1auto.com.   Thank you,   Brendan Cimino General Manager bcimino@group1auto.com

Gene Messer Hyundai responded

Hello Ms. Calvillo, I am so sorry to hear that our service fell short of your expectations! I agree it is very unfortunate we did not have the recall parts available for your Palisade. There is a severe, nationwide back order causing a shortage of parts that we do not have control of. Also, it is unfortunate what happened with your rear wiper blade. The one you arrived to your service visit with was too long and catching on the car. You stated that it was installed when you purchased the car used, over 20,000 miles ago. We did not contest your statement or concerns in any way. Instead, Victoria had the wiper blade replaced at no cost to you. Lastly, our system shows two date and time stamped instances where your advisor attempted communication and couldn't get through, and normally I wouldn't use an excuse for this, except that I personally have tried to call twice, and am unable to get through. I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication and software issue we continue to have regarding your vehicle and your concerns. Please call me at 806.403.095 or email me at swalters@group1auto.com. I look forward to speaking with you so we can resolve this as soon as possible. Thank you!   Stephanie Walters  Service Director
