Thank you for the feedback. We’re glad your visit was pleasant overall, but we’re sorry the oil dipstick was not put back in place and that you had to return to have it corrected. That’s an important detail that should have been checked before your vehicle was returned to you. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope we can provide a more careful, seamless experience on your next visit.

Thank you for sharing the feedback. We’re glad calling helped get your appointment scheduled quickly, but we’re sorry we missed the car wash and windshield wiper check you specifically requested. When you take the time to communicate those requests, they should be followed through. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll use your feedback to help improve the experience and hope we can provide a more complete visit next time.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that, after the long wait, your vehicle was not washed even though you specifically requested it. We understand your disappointment, especially since this has now happened on two separate service visits. We appreciate your loyalty over the years and regret that your recent experiences have not reflected the level of service you remember. Your comments regarding service times and vehicle presentation have been shared with our management team for review.

What a wonderful review, thank you for taking the time to share all of this. We’re especially glad to hear Kei took your concerns seriously, reviewed the paperwork, and took the extra step of pulling the information directly from your vehicle. That kind of thoroughness can make all the difference when you’ve already been through an unresolved issue elsewhere. It’s fantastic to know the problem was identified and resolved quickly, and that you felt treated with respect and kindness throughout the process. And yes, we’re happy the car wash was a nice finishing touch! 😊 Your comments about our Dealership of the Year recognition mean a great deal to the entire South Bay Hyundai team. Awards are wonderful, but having customers say they feel heard, cared for, and confident coming back is the real compliment. We truly appreciate your trust and look forward to taking care of you for years to come!
