Unfortunately, I read up on the ratings/reviews AFTER I encountered some of the exact same concerns and I am disappointed that I did not complete a more thorough check before entrusting my business and my time with a dealership that does not seem to value either of those with me. I called ahead, scheduled an oil change three months after trading in and buying a brand new vehicle from them. I requested next available and was told on a Tuesday to come in for my appointment on Friday at 10:30am. At 12:30 my name was called to go to the service desk. I thought 2 hours was way to long for a simple oil change, but not enough to warrant a negative review or not come back again with the hopes that this experience was a one off, just a bad day, and not to form an opinion on the value of my continued patronage. I was in for an even greater surprise. They called me back to find out WHY I dropped my vehicle off, it had already been 2 hours of waiting, and then had the audacity to tell me it would be another hour minimum before my oil would be changed. Excuse me???
I was told I should have checked in at the service desk when I entered the building and not just with the service man who greeted me outside, asked what I was there for, pulled up my name on his device, took my key and tagged my vehicle with a number for service because they had no idea what I was there for and by 'chance' this employee then went on to tell me how he 'randomly' went through whatever the other man took off of me to turn in and found my info and called me back or I would still randomly be sat around waiting with nothing going on. He said it like I should consider myself lucky and be grateful that he went above and beyond his job duties to find that I was just sat there waiting randomly for hours and called me back to ask me why. I informed him I had been waiting since 10:30, he said he knew and he would try to see if he could get my car finished sooner, but to expect an hour. It's been an hour now. I have been here for 3 hours for a call ahead and scheduled appointment time for a simple oil change. Still no car. I'm not even here on a Saturday when people are generally off of work. Customers shouldn't have to use vacation time from work to get the oil in their car changed either. Do they pay their employees if they sit around for 3 hours doing nothing?
I told the woman I was scheduling an appointment for an oil change when I initially made the appointment. I told the service man who greeted me in the drive up area that again, I was dropping it off for an oil change, because although he asked if I had an appointment before taking my key and putting a service number tag in my vehicle, he still had to ask what I was dropping it off for after pulling up my name. I found that odd in today's day and age of technology, but not odd enough to tip me off that there were already issues in their lack of organization to provide at minimum a decent level of service for their customers.
Decent level of service, in my opinion that's settling for a lower level of service that is at the very bottom end of the spectrum of what I'm willing to compromise for my business and time. I'm not asking for red carpet treatment, just decency. I was not even afforded decency. When did 'Priority Hyundai' decide they were going to determine the value of a persons time? Time is a rare commodity, one we have no idea how much we'll be gifted with in life and a commodity that you will never get back even if it's been wasted by a dealership that does not value its customers. 3 hours of my life have been wasted today, I'll never get these back, and I'm still sat here waiting right now. It's at that point where I feel I need something for my time so I continue waiting, but I'm at the point where I will not give this dealership another minute of my life and just get my key back and find a business that has at its core a minimum level of decency towards their customers. I don't believe any dealership should have that kind of disrespect and control over wasting my time. Especially when I played by all of their rules, called in to schedule my appointment, arrived on time and sat patiently waiting for the first 2 hours. Now I've waited for 3 hours and still no vehicle. Such a disappointment. Whoever came up with the priorities for life commitment I'm sure had great intentions that have been executed less than poorly on the very customers they sought to acquire and maintain with the commitment. Minimum wage at 3 hours would've paid for my oil change somewhere else and I would still be out ahead because of the extra time I would be ahead on. Let that sink in. Priority does not even believe my time is worth minimum wage when the department of labor sure seems to think every person has a minimum net worth for their time no matter what their job is. read more
