**⭐ 1 Star — If I Could Give Negative Stars, I Would!** **UPDATE 10/15:** Well, here's an interesting follow-up! After our frustrating experience at Tuttle-Click Hyundai, we took our vehicle to our trusted mechanic at Purrfect Auto. In LESS THAN 10 MINUTES, he brought a handheld diagnostic scanner into the parking lot, retrieved the error codes, explained the findings, and advised us on next steps. He didn't even need to move the car! And the cost? **FREE!** This is EXACTLY what my husband was trying to explain to Tuttle-Click. We understand a complete diagnosis and repairs take time, but an initial scan doesn't necessarily require days. Our mechanic provided more information in 10 minutes than Tuttle-Click did in nearly a day and a half. Thank you, Purrfect Auto, for demonstrating what excellent customer service looks like! **ORIGINAL REVIEW:** I'm on my FOURTH Hyundai purchased from Tuttle-Click Hyundai of Irvine (two Santa Fes, a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy, and now a 2026 Palisade Calligraphy). Our previous service experiences were so disappointing that we eventually started taking one of our vehicles to an independent mechanic. When purchasing my 2026 Palisade, I specifically mentioned our negative experiences and was assured that new management had improved the service department. My first oil change went well, so I was hopeful. Unfortunately, that didn't last. After my check engine light came on, my husband scheduled a service appointment. I dropped off my car on October 13 and was told diagnostics could take 2–3 days. No problem! What wasn't explained was that my vehicle could sit waiting before diagnostics even BEGAN. Nearly a day and a half later, we received a text saying my vehicle was "next in line" for diagnostics. **Then what exactly is the point of making an appointment?** We both work, have two children at different schools, and arranged transportation around this appointment. Had we known the vehicle wouldn't be evaluated right away, we could have planned accordingly. When my husband called for clarification, Kyle repeatedly explained how long diagnostics take instead of addressing our actual concern. My husband felt the responses were condescending and dismissive. When he formally requested a manager, he was placed on hold, only for Kyle to return and explain that Jesus, the manager, was unavailable. They offered to make an exception and provide a rental car, which we appreciated, but that wasn't the issue. We ultimately decided to take our vehicle elsewhere. What upset me most was the paperwork when I picked it up: "NO WORK PERFORMED. CUSTOMER DEMANDED TO TAKE VEHICLE" "CUSTOMER DECLINED ANY FURTHER WORK AND DEMANDED TO TAKE VEHICLE." **DEMANDED?** We simply requested to pick up our vehicle. The wording was unnecessarily confrontational and misrepresented our interaction. The paperwork also included a remark about diagnostics involving more than "PLUGGING IN THE COMPUTER," referencing my husband's question about the delay. We understand a complete diagnosis involves more than reading error codes, but including that remark without context felt defensive and unprofessional. Jesus eventually called my husband but continued emphasizing how long diagnostics take instead of addressing the lack of communication. **We were NEVER upset about how long diagnostics might take. We were upset that nobody explained our vehicle could sit waiting to be evaluated despite having an appointment.** I genuinely LOVE my Hyundai vehicles. In fact, my mother and sister both purchased 2026 Santa Fes after hearing how much I love my Palisade. That's THREE new Hyundais in our family this year! Unfortunately, I've already advised them to avoid this service department. After four Hyundai purchases and years of disappointing service experiences, I'm done giving this department chances. **An appointment should mean something. Communication should be transparent. And customers deserve to be treated respectfully.** If I could give negative stars, I would.
