Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that the service status system was not kept up to date, leaving you to repeatedly check at the desk for information about your vehicle. We understand how frustrating it is when a communication tool is provided but does not accurately reflect the progress of your service. Your comments have been shared with our management team for review and we will be contacting the service provider for information. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Nicole told me it would be around 2 hours wait. I was not happy about that. After 2.5 hours, I found her and asked how much longer. She said 40 minutes. My total time waiting was 3.5 hours for an O More

Thank you for sharing this candid feedback. We’re glad your vehicle was completed ahead of the promised time and that Nicole stayed responsive throughout the process, even when the answers weren’t necessarily the ones you were hoping for. We appreciate her commitment to keeping you informed. We also understand why the circumstances surrounding the fuel injection issue would be upsetting, especially after experiencing a breakdown on the 405. We can certainly understand your frustration and concern about feeling like you should have been notified sooner. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to address your vehicle and hear your concerns.

South Bay Hyundai responded

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re glad we could keep your downtime to a minimum and make the visit convenient from start to finish. It’s especially nice to hear that the technician video stood out, you should be able to see and understand what was found with your vehicle, rather than simply being handed a list of recommendations. And we’re happy the shuttle service helped make the day easier. We know that combination of efficiency, communication, and personal service can be hard to find, so your recommendation means a great deal to our team. Thank you for trusting us with your vehicle!

Your comments regarding service times and vehicle presentation have been shared with our management team for review.
