Chris Moran in the service department was awesome! Went the extra mile for customer service by looking at the photo of my tire pre-visit to see if it could be patched vs replaced. Was friendly and professional greeting everyone, shared updates once my tire was being serviced and confirmed it could just be patched, and the team vacuumed and washed my car at the end - wow! Great experience, thanks Chris & co! read more

I had scheduled a 9:30 a.m. appointment to have a key FOB programmed. When my husband brought the car in, he was informed that in addition to the key FOB programming, there was also a recall update and software update needed for the vehicle. The recall and software update were completed in less than 30 minutes. However, over the next six hours, he was repeatedly told by both Lynn Pittmon and Naty Ruiz that "they are almost done," "the vehicle is not finished yet," and "it should be finishing up soon." Six hours later, after hearing the same vague responses, I began calling the service department myself. My calls repeatedly went to voicemail, and I was unable to reach anyone. I was eventually connected to a supervisor in Gaithersburg, who also attempted to contact that location and could not get anyone to answer. I ultimately drove to the dealership myself to find out what was going on. At that point, I was finally told the truth: the Hyundai FOB programming machine was down and had not been working. Meanwhile, my husband had been sitting there for six hours under the false impression--because that is exactly what he had been told--that the vehicle would be ready any minute. Had your service department simply been honest from the beginning, he would have left and returned another time. Instead, because of the misinformation and lack of transparency, we lost an entire day and had to cancel plans to leave town that morning for a weekend away. Even more frustrating, someone could and should have called us before the 9:30 a.m. appointment to let us know the machine was down, sparing us the wasted trip altogether. To make matters worse, during the six hours he sat waiting in your dealership, my husband overheard sales staff openly disparaging customers and making comments such as, "she doesn't even know what she's signing." Hearing employees speak so disrespectfully about customers was shocking and incredibly revealing. This entire experience was dishonest, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable. We were repeatedly misled, our time was treated as if it had no value, and the professionalism we expected from Fitzgerald Automotive was nowhere to be found. It was an eye-opening experience and one that has ensured we will not be giving Fitzgerald Automotive another minute of our time. Sincerely, Tamara Kucik read more

This review is about the service department. We own a 2022 plug in hybrid. The engine light came on weeks ago. When I called to get it in it took FOREVER to get to a person. You get stuck in chatbot hell. When I managed to get someone they said I should bring it in right away. But because it would be a walk in I'd have to leave it with them. Which I couldn't do, because it's our only car and they were not offering a loaner. So the earliest appointment they could get me was today, a full three weeks after the engine light came on. I took it hoping to get in somewhere else earlier, but couldn't find anyone. So we go to drop it off today. And then we get a text saying they're gonna keep the car for several days. Even though this was an appointment made three weeks ago for an 8:30 AM drop off. Just to plug the car into the machine that will immediately give them whatever error code is causing the light. Completely unacceptable and we will never ever be back. read more

Consider the ball dropped. Please explain the point of setting up an appointment for service when...well...let's begin. 10:15 appointment. I'm there early. I had called for the express purpose of having brakes replaced. Me: How long should we anticipate, more or less? Them: four, maybe four and a half hours. Four hours and thirty-eight minutes later, after having no updates, I check on the progress. In very fancy and professional language, they let me know that they hadn't started. Six hours after dropoff, they come back with: so looks like you need brakes done? Should we proceed? Why, yes, let's indeed proceed with the work that I had made the appointment for in the first place. Then, the kicker. "We need it overnight. Oh, and no loaner." I'm paraphrasing, because, as always, the language was splendidly friendly while communicating that nothing had been done, and that none of the expectations had been met. I had taken a day off to take care of this, and had explained in the morning that I had to get to day care that evening. Not only was that situation compromised, but my next day of work was also in question due to this situation. There are a lot of ways a scenario like this can impact a family. Was there any accountability shown? Nope. "So sorry. Someone will reach out." Oh...thanks. They haven't. Who is handling the booking/workload? Who benefits from taking on more repairs than they can handle? Who is holding the company accountable for communicating with customers in a timely manner? With the waiting room more full than I've ever seen it, I must restate: the ball has been dropped. And, sadly, the likelihood is that someone in a fancy outfit will simply stand and nod with a well-practiced smile and say; "sorry for the trouble." And nothing will change. Let's teach our children the value of respecting people's time, setting realistic expectations, and communicating progress. Lastly, what is also sad is that they will benefit from another likelihood- that many other places are even worse.

Cameron and team did a phenomenal job on making my lease return seamless! I tried to return my end of term lease at 3 other local Hyundai dealerships and they were very unpleasant. I will definitely go to Fitzgerald and Cameron for my next car! read more

Called to make an appointment for body work on damage sustained during the big freeze because single digit temps + plastic car body = :-( . Explained exactly what I needed done. Was told I had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment. Spoke to both the main Service desk and a service representative. After three weeks, I arrived to be told "Oh. We don't do body work here." Now waiting another three weeks for service in the Collision Center in Gaithersburg. The level of incompetence and not caring is stunning. read more

We used this service department for years. So did other family members. It was great, until the elder Mr Fitzgerald passed away. The new team? Condescending JERKS. Several months ago, I took our Santa Fe in mid-afternoon because the screen suddenly went blank, rendering the backup camera, GPS and entertainment useless. No other customer was there. There were 5-6 service people there. Two didn't want to look up from their phones, and the third finally sighed, listened and said to leave the vehicle there for up to a week for "diagnostics". Another chimes in that it would probably cost thousands to repair. I returned with my husband, and he got the same b.s. and blow off treatment. Yes systems can fail, but it was their general attitude that was so disappointing. Here's the kicker. We drove over the Hyundai in Alexandria, before dinner. A really nice and knowledgeable young woman in Service said, "have you tried a paperclip to reset it?" We laughed. Uh, no. She went to her desk and got one, and told us what to try. Bingo. The point? She cared about the customer experience and relationship, like they used to in Rockville. Alexandria is the family's new go-to dealership, read more

Worst Service department. When you come in for repairs you don't expect to be treated like you don't have sense. That is how those unprofessional men at Rockville Fitzgerald act.    *   They didn't inspect or explain clearly    *   They blamed general weather conditions (which affected everyone) so why not more motor failures    *   They tried to sell me a repair instead of honoring warranty My windshield wiper failed and they said it was the motor because of bad weather. I like to know how many others failed because we all had bad weather. That's not how a good service department should operate. Complaint 1.Better Business Bureau of Maryland Complaint 2.

The service team have always been professional and polite. I do think they need to reimagine the lounge with seating and chargers for those that want to plug in and work. Other seating for those who want to sit, sleep or watch TV. And TV should not be on infomercials. Rather have news or music videos or something else less depressing. I don't usually wait and it was manageable but I think some extra thought to the space may help. It was not a bad experience but could have been better. read more

Don't go here. Their schedulers don't have access to the car records to tell you prior recommended services. Their service advisors don't know have access either, so they cannot easily determine what was recommended. I called and got recall work scheduled, and the dealer only got two of the notices on file and didn't take care of the third recall notice- which required them to order a part. That requires a new trip back. Just a giant waste of time for a customer. And the advisors don't call you quickly to tell you what needs to be done. It's like I'm bothering them for the work on my car. Just a terrible, awful, horrible customer service experience. I won't be going again. read more

Called THREE times to ensure the vehicle we wanted to look at was there and was ensured that when we got there it would be ready to test drive since it would take us an hour to drive there. We texted Kevin, the car dealer, when we were thirty minutes out because he told us to text him when we were close to FURTHER ensure it would be ready. When we finally arrive the car was not ready. We waited around 30 minutes and were FURTHER FURTHER ensured that they were just about to pull it around. After Kevin comes back in and avoids eye contact with us he goes to talk with other people and at this point I am already getting mad. Not only did he not have it ready like he said he would; he FINALLY comes over and tells us they actually dont have the car on the lot and just shipped it to a different lot. He completely wasted our time. Do not trust this dealership. read more

If you need a service and you're at the Hyundai Fitzgerald location you must must must request for Chris M. Not only is he extremely clear, concise, and transparent when talking to you about your car, but he genuinely cares about making sure you feel respected and wants the best for you. I've dealt with other service providers that made me feel as if I was a burden and every question I had was dumb, but not Chris. He has answered all of my questions with understanding and insight and has made every service a wonderful experience. read more

Great recent experience! Adolfo was fantastic to deal with. Very happy. Definitely planning on doing more business with them.

I have been a loyal customer of Fitzgerald Hyundai of Rockville for the past six years, bringing my vehicle exclusively to this dealership for service. While my Hyundai was still under warranty, I repeatedly experienced an issue where my oil change light would not turn off. Each time I returned to the dealership, they simply reset it--only for the light to reappear by the time I got back to D.C. Now that my car is out of warranty, I decided to raise the issue again with one of the service managers, Lynn Pitmon. He suggested that there could actually be a problem, which I initially found hard to believe since I had brought this up multiple times before. After paying for a detailed engine inspection, an oil leak was finally discovered. Despite this, Criston Simons, another service manager, has refused to provide me with an explanation for Hyundai's denial of my claim and has also refused to take responsibility for the negligence of their service team. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable. I strongly urge anyone considering this dealership for service to look elsewhere. They may seem helpful at first, but if an issue requires them to take responsibility, they will withhold critical information. Loyalty means nothing to them, and long-term customers are not treated with the fairness or integrity they deserve. If you have also experienced engine issues at this dealership, please reach out to me no later than Friday, March 21st, at 12 PM. read more

Absolutely horrific service department, or at least I can only comment on the lazy service advisor Cesar. If you guys come here, I 100% encourage you to ask for any other advisor except for Cesar. He never returns calls, doesn't update you, doesn't care about anything, and has a severe bad attitude problem. When you walk in the Hyundai service area, he sits immediately left of the door. To the management: I am also a manager at my job. You need to get rid of this bad employee. He will destroy your company. read more

I've called them multiple times to get a receipt for my services to no avail. I am frustrated bc I have recently gotten the 40,000 mile service on my car which cost me much more than it should have. Three screws were missing under the hood. Then two weeks later, my car has a misfire in one of its cylinders and they did not care to fit me in for an appointment ASAP. They told me I had to wait 3 more weeks for the next appointment. I will be going to a repair shop in Rockville with better prices and better customer service going forward. read more

Sales guy had better things to do with his day than talk to me about buying cars. I came in so I could see, in-person, the vehicle types I'd been comparing online. Things started off well with a brief chat. I was up front about not being in a rush to purchase and I shared, when asked, that I'm currently driving a 2011 vehicle. With those two pieces of information - in addition to my appearance as female and in casual Sunday afternoon clothes - this guys attitude completely changed and suddenly he was dismissing my questions about current prices. I don't know what the issue was. The main desk had directed me to speak to this particular salesman and he didn't have any other customers that I could see, so I dont think I interrupted him. It was just a really odd interaction and pretty disappointing. I would have liked to get a better sense of total cost out the door price for the new EVs but I think I'll be doing that from home over the phone instead. It wasn't a very long interaction at all so I can't really say I have a good sense of the whole sales team there, but there's at least one guy I'd recommend steering clear of. read more

The worst service imaginable. They took over 4 hours for a tire patch and balancing -- after promising it in already long 2 hours. I will definitely take my business elsewhere next time! read more

Do you want terrible service? Enjoy being jerked around/lied to? If so, you've found the perfect place. I'm a reasonable person. I try giving people the benefit of the doubt. If this is you, prepare for them to take advantage of you. You can expect: - Weeks to book service - Days and sometimes a week to pass before they work on your car - Friendly staff that tell you your car will be ready in the time you request but it never is - A call to let you know the issue(s) and that your car will be ready that day or the next day. Don't get excited--it's a lie. They mysteriously don't call you back on the day they claimed it would be ready. So you call them and they tell you it now won't be ready for days or after a weekend or that somehow the part they need isn't there and they still need to order it. It's all smoke and mirrors! - Long hold times on the phone as you're tossed about. Once you finally get someone, they don't know the answer or seem to make it up. When they try to BS you, and you call them out for the way they're treating you, all of a sudden they have a better answer. I'm selling my Hyundai. I never even considered getting a new one because of my years long experience with these people. This is what happens when you treat your service customers like crap. The salespeople may be terrific, but you lost my business before I even stepped foot inside your showroom. read more

I had a great experience buying my car here. Matt was excellent. However, it's hard to recommend the service department. I have 5 years of routine maintenance included in my service plan. Yesterday I got an oil change, tire rotation, and cabin filter change. It took them 3 HOURS AND FORTY MINUTES to perform. My service manager was very nice and she eventually was able to get them to finish and return my car because I was rushing to another appointment, but that's simply an absurd amount of time for incredibly basic maintenance. If it weren't already paid for, there's no way I would take my car here for service. read more

Gaby is one of the best customer service agents we've had at any dealership. Even though the service department was booked up and extremely busy Gaby got us in to service our car on the same day we had our emergency. I highly recommend calling her if you need assistance. read more

I've brought my Accent to Fitzgerald Hyundai at least once a year for TEN YEARS & have received EXCELLENT service from everyone there EVERY SINGLE TIME. They're honest, skilled, friendly, efficient, affordable. This week was no exception. Service Advisor Gaby was TERRIFIC treating me as if I were a family member. And the final cost for the work came in LESS than the estimate!!! Can you tell I love this place? read more

I brought my car in to get an oil change, tire rotation, and have them check my brakes. When I went to pick up my car and drive back home I realized that they had never replaced my oil change sticker from the previous time I had an oil change. Which made me wonder if they had forgotten to replace the sticker or if they had never changed the oil completely. When I got home and put a dipstick in my oil, it was barely above the empty line. I am so frustrated that I was lied to and they never completed the service that I paid almost $80 for. Will never be going back there. read more

We had a car in for routine service. Oil change and standard inspection. It took four hours. In addition , they were asked to replace the windshield wipers as two of them had rubber hanging by a thread. When the car was picked up the service f room stated that the inspection was done including the wipers. However the wipers were not changed. Which makes one wonder if the oil was even changed. We were asked if we wanted the car washed- and that seemed like a good idea. In addtion to the wipers not being changed the car looked like it was simply wetted down as all of the windows had water spots. read more

This is a combined review of this Hyundai dealer, and Hyundai financing itself. While we love our new 2025 IONIQ 5, the actual "purchasing" process is *extremely* deceptive, and fault lies with both Hyundai financing proper, and this dealer's financing plus sales team for perpetuating such deception. It all starts with their sales teams *HARD* push to customers not to directly buy their EV cars outright, but instead temporarily lease for 3 months, to take advantage of the *reported* rebate of $12,500 from the company. They likely do this so they can convince you of a lower sticker price than they can actually provide. In actuality, the rebate is *approximately* $8,000 by the time you are actually allowed to buy the car outright, after having leased it from Hyundai and triggered the rebate. The reasons for this are many, and extremely difficult to catch in accounting-- so much so, that Hyundai proper and this dealership have repeatedly refused to document, on paper, the actual "buy out" amount of the vehicle to me. As in-- no one in the company or dealer are willing to provide, in writing, the itemization of the buyout quote. This is despite many, many efforts by me to get an explanation of how the cost was arrived out on the basis of my original signed lease, or the itemization of the buy out amount. In brief, it comes down to the charges you accrue due to the lease itself, and the crazy hidden fees-- multiple lease/title transaction fees, early buyout fees, the "rental" charges for the months you lease, etc. The dealer must surely know this, and Hyundai seems to be trying to hide it from customers. They tell you, "Just lease it for 3 months, you'll save $12,500" --but that is many thousands of dollars off. And, they go to great lengths NOT to engage with customers, such as myself, to seemingly hide this fact. Again, I literally cannot get anyone in Hyundai to give me an itemization of my buyout quote, starting with my signed contract, because of what I know it reveals about their practices. So-- while very happy with the car, I am VERY disappointed with the actual buying process, and believe they know how deceptive and inscrutable it is, and intentionally make it so that they can claim a lower sticker price than is actually the case. read more

If you are in a market for a Hyundai then go to Alres, extremely seamless buying experience. They will do what they say, no playing around, friendly and great customer service. It was awesome to work with the finance manager Triston was very helpful, ready to explain, and very friendly, unlike most finance managers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! One of my best car buying experience ever.... read more

HONEST, CUSTOMER ORIENTED DEALER! In today's market of limited supply, this is the only Hyundai dealer in the area that was NOT marking up the prices of the vehicles and selling their vehicles at MSRP. One dealer in the area was marking up all Hyundais by $5,000 to $10,0000! I was so impressed that they had strong convictions not to take advantage of their customers during these strange times. Truly refreshing to see a car dealer whose value system was so customer oriented. This dealer aims to fill up the gas tank when you drive a new vehicle off the lot. The one I bought accidentally slipped through this process but our salesperson, Jay, sent us $50 in Shell gas cards along with a nice little note. Jay has many loyal customers and I'm sure it is well deserved! I'll be calling him in the future if I want to buy a Hyundai or Genesis vehicle. I'm sure Fitzgerald has many loyal repeat customers because of their honest culture. This is a business worth supporting. Highly recommended! read more

Purchased a "certified" car that did not check off all the certified boxes as advertised. We have been waiting over a year for a second key. I have driven too many miles to service appts and spent way too much time trying to resolve this. It seems the only resolution at this point is to pay out of pocket for something that should have been provided at the point of sale. Good luck once you walk out the door. read more

I would give them a ZERO if possible. They are dishonest and provide subpar service. I took my car in and they damaged it. They admitted that they damaged the car and promised to fix it but have since refused. They do not return phone calls or emails and simply refuse to engage or take responsibility. It would have been better had I never went there at all. Very sad. If you go there for service, know you may come out with damage the dealer will not fix. read more

I contacted this location about a car I saw online. I put on a credit app on day 1. Discussed numbers. I agreed to come up to Rockville the following day to come check it out and purchase. I get a message 2hrs before my appointment and they say they got someone in the lobby who might buy it before I get there. Why were they showing a car they had a deal worked out for!? Just bas customer service. Apparently the salesman failed to let his team know he had a deal pending on it already according to the manager. The manager tried to tell me he didn't know however the salesman told me on day 2 that he spoke to his manager and agreed to my purchase price. Would NOT recommend to take your business here. read more

I went to get my car serviced at this facility, and Chris Moran worked with me to get my vehicle up to date with maintenance. I asked him if he could check my dashboard wiring because a small device was sticking out from undeneath the steering wheel. . Once he and his crew were able to check the dashboard, he discussed the findings with me and made it seem like my car needed extensive and hard labor repairs by removing the entire dashboard and rewiring everything. He also promised me photos of the mess inside the dashboard to make a claim with the CarMax dealership, which he never provided even after I texted him to send them over; I never received a response. . I decided to go to a different hyundai dealership to get a second opinion. It turns out there was nothing wrong with the wiring, it just needed to be tethered a little tighter than it was initially. So they assembled and coiled them neatly neatly and tucked it back in my car. Since then I haven't had any problems. . Be careful with this dealership, they will exaggerate car issues to take more money than what you owe. They're con artists. read more

My daughter pulled into Fitzgerald Hyundai today July 3rd with a check engine light . The service manager told her 3 weeks , he wouldn't put the scan tool on to see if it was something insignificant maybe it would have taken him 10 minutes to give her peace of mind on her 2022 Tucson . I guess that's the "Fitz Way " right Jack ? After buying 3 cars from this place she will never step back in there again . Nice Job and hats off to the service manager for such horrible service ! There are a number of much better dealers than this who take care of their customers this isn't one of them ! read more

Minor update.

Hyundai told me there was a recall for my car. I made an appointment with Fitzgerald for today and had arranged a ride to and from. This was a long standing appointment and they confirmed with an email just yesterday. I got to the dealership today and the serviceman informed me that they just don't have the parts for this recall. Why didn't they cancel my appointment before I took off from work, arranged drivers and arrived there? At any time they could've saved me the hassle. They informed me that they will put me on a "wait list" and call me when the parts are in. Unusual that they will have my email and phone number for the future visit - but not this visit. read more

We own a 2017 Santa Fe, which we bought at Fitzgerald's. All of a sudden no sound came from the radio, and we brought it in to the service department. They did a diagnostic test and charged us $220, fair enough, and identified the problem as a blown amplifier that needed to be replaced. They said the part would be $1500 and would take them two hours to remove the old one and install a new one which would result in a charge of $550, about $2000 all in all. When I got home I went online and found the OEM part at full retail for $850 about half of what they were charging. Note this was full retail from the OEM. This was not some secondhand or discount part. I ordered the part and having no particular skill in car repair or radio repair I removed the old amplifier and installed a new one in approximately 15 minutes. There were three easy to reach bolts that needed to be removed the wire harness that was unplugged and then plugged back into the new one. Fitzgerald was going to charge double the full retail price for the part and then either it's service department is as incompetent as can be if it was going to take their skilled professionals two hours to do what it took a rookie novice 15 minutes to do or they were simply overcharging by billing for two hours what was a 15 minute job. In any event, we certainly will never go back to the service department, where they grossly overcharge for parts and labor. PS I ended up buying the part on eBay for $350 and it works fine. read more

This was an excellent experience. My husband and I were browsing for cars and my husband found the perfect car with the help of Pete Hemnani. We wound up returning to the dealer to purchase the car and trade in my husband's car. While getting ready to close we found out that there was a recall on the particular model. We also wanted to get the Zurich Ceramic Shield applied. We closed on the car and Pete delivered the new car to our home. He set everything up (all the new technology) and took my husband's car. It was so convenient! Pete is extremely knowledge and great to work with. If I have to look for anything negative, it would be that we had a long wait to get with a finance manager to close. In fairness it was right before a holiday and they were very busy. I would highly recommend Pete if you are looking for a Genesis or Hyundai! read more

Five stars! I've had my 2022 Santa Cruz for six months now and could not be happier with the vehicle and the deal I given. The whole team at Fitzgerald AutoMalls was/is great to deal with. I received an excellent price and a very generous trade-in allowance to boot. I've only put 4800 miles on the odo, so we are long overdue for an actual road trip. Maybe this fall, following the change of colors through Virginia and the Carolinas. I LOVE THIS TRUCK. We call her 'Penelope' in honor of Penelope Cruz. read more

Hey folks- please note that we were in the market to buy a new car and we immediately thought about going back to Fitzgerald Hyundai since we had such experience last time. We were so happy to have worked with Matthew at Fitzgerald Hyundai yesterday. He and his sales manager, Dannie, worked with us to make sure we got a great deal on the car. The waiting area was nice, though a bit crowded on a Saturday, but the snacks and coffee/tea machine and free Wi-Fi kept us entertained. read more

They need to have more respect for the customer, slow service due to lack of parts, and no prior communication, making us waste time. Many people stay there, but few are really willing to help you and offer you good service. They need to improve a lot, one star is too much for this place. read more

We worked with Matt in Rockville Pike Hyundai and checked out the Sante Fe 2023 Calligraphy (the 2.5 engine is powerful) - lots of buttons and very impressive car - Matt was helpful and easy/calm to deal with and the rest of the staff and salespeople seemed willing to help in any way they could...very friendly experience & no pressure. *We did the Costco car buying program which means some savings and no haggling. Sante Fe range 30-45k and in my opinion a great value for these days you get a lot for your money. Fitzgerald was a good experience I recommend them. read more
