I did have trouble connecting to service whe As in the past, it was a pleasant experience dealing with service dept. Kathy was courteous and helpful. I did have trouble connecting to service when I tried to call regarding status of my car. It took 5 phone calls to actually speak with someone.....voice mail was full. By then I was frustrated. The one thing I really miss is the car wash at Hyundai. I received a voucher to go across the street but that would have taken time. Was so nice to pick up the car clean.....this will not hold me back from continuing to bring my car in. More

Pretty Bad - not returning Pretty much from the start I should have known this was doomed. Make an appointment two weeks in advance for a Saturday because my check engine light Pretty much from the start I should have known this was doomed. Make an appointment two weeks in advance for a Saturday because my check engine light is on. Roll in that Saturday, I’m told that they don’t do that type of service in Saturday’s. Roger asked “Who did you make your appointment with? It may have been the cashier, and they don’t know anything.” Seems like something that anyone who has the capability of booking appointments should know. Roger acted like he was doing me a huge favor by still accepting the appointment while also up selling me to get my 90k mile service ($900+) I get a call later that day that the check engine light problem was found and fixed, total comes out to $1300 which I pay on Sunday when I pick it up. Turn on the car and the check engine light is still on. Make another appointment for the following Wednesday. The night before, Tuesday, my car won’t start. I somehow figure out a way to get it to start and bring it in that Wednesday. They have my Car for over 6 hours and I finally get a call That they’ve finished. Issue with the battery terminal as well as some technology thing that affected the check engine light. I wasn’t charged, which was an assumed gesture as I had just spent $1300 and had to come back for more fixing. Roger again acting like he hooked it up, after Jack handed me off to him. Here comes Sunday morning. Car won’t start AGAIN. Have to jump it to get home from a friends. End up calling AAA Monday morning. They check the battery and it’s almost completely dead. AAA replaces the battery. You’d have thought that a respectable dealership would have checked the battery’s juice, seen it was 6 years old and replaced it. But, apparently that’s not something that South Bay Hyundai has the IQ to do. How none of these issues are part of a 90k service or 34-point inspection is beyond me. Imagine, for a minute, that you spent $1300 with a business to address issues with your car, and yet right after they allegedly fix it, you have bigger problems than before. I felt neither my time nor my money was valued by this business, therefore I will not spend with them again. It’s not a threat to get free service or perks or money off my next car. I simply don’t trust the dealership to perform competently so I won’t be giving them business. More
Five wasted hours This was my second visit to South Bay with my 2018 Elantra Sport GT, for a tailgate handle recall and warranty repair on a seat belt problem. On my pr This was my second visit to South Bay with my 2018 Elantra Sport GT, for a tailgate handle recall and warranty repair on a seat belt problem. On my prior visit (8/13) for an oil change, the rear passenger seat belt was supposedly repaired for 'non-retraction' problem - it was NOT repaired. At that first visit, Donnie advised there was a recall on the tailgate handle and I should make an appointment for the installation when it came in. I made an 08:30 (9/16) appointment, thinking being early my service would be handled promptly. I'm 87 and driving 18 miles in Los Angeles traffic is no fun. I was on time. FIVE hours later, my car was ready? Guess what- NOTHING WAS DONE! The handle has to be painted and the defective seat belt retractor has to be ordered. I am currently waiting for a call from South Bay to advise when the parts are in. I am not looking forward to another five hour session in the waiting room! Incidentally, on the first visit, my wife was with me and Donnie did kindly arrange a Uber ride to a restaurant so we could have lunch. Thank you for that. More
