Sheppard Hyundai Eugene did this to my car
Terry A.

This is related to the service department only. This review is accurate and states the facts. We purchased two new Hyundai cars (Santa Fe and Kona), October of 2021 from Kirkland Hyundai. Around 6K miles on the Santa Fe I called Sheppard Hyundai for service advise. The service department could not tell me at what mileage I should bring in my Santa Fe for its first scheduled maintenance. But we did bring it in for its first service right around 6K miles. I waited all day for a phone call, letting me know the car was ready. Finally I called and was told "Oh yeah, its ready". I picked up the car, drove home and then noticed the blemish that was on the drivers side front rim, was still there. Which indicated the tires had not been rotated. This is part of the regular maintenance. I complained and indicated in no uncertain terms that a customer trusts the service department services the vehicle correctly. They never offered to rotate the tires. A few months later my wife takes her Kona in for its first service. Guess what, Sheppard Hyundai service did not rotate the tires on her car either. Again I complained - no offer to rotate the tires. Around 10K miles on my Santa Fe, the front brakes started to vibrate under braking, which usually indicates an issue with the rotors. Not trusting Sheppard Service I went to Les Schwab. They looked at the front brakes and indicated that yes the front rotors need to be either replaced or resurfaced. Parts were not available via Les Schwab. I went to Sheppard, and after a bit of a run around, me calling to Hyundai to complain, Sheppard Service indicated the rotors would be replaced under the 12 month/12K mile warranty. Took my car in for the brake repair, only to be told the rotors would have to be ordered. Should be ready the next day (Friday). I receive a call from Sheppard Service on Friday, indicating the rotors had been replaced, BUT Sheppard Service had damaged the front passenger rim and destroyed the tire. A new tire had to be ordered. I asked what they were going to do about the damaged rim. Only then did they offer to bring in their "wheel guy" to repair the otherwise perfect rim. No offer for a rental car. So I'm without a car for 4 days. I pick up the car on Monday, new tire and an OK repair job on the rim. There is some runout where the repair was made. A slight depression. So the rim is not in the same conditions before it was damaged by Sheppard Service. The only good thing that came out of this repair, was that a TCU update was applied, and now the TCU/DCT shifts are smooth and not so jerky. I did call to Sheppard motor to indicate that the software update did the trick. What did they tell me, "hey can you give us a good review". REALLY? They damaged my car, applied a software update to the TCU, and they want KUDOS? And now to top it all off, there is a droning sound that comes from the front of the card at speed above 40MPH. Is it the new tire? Is it the new rotors. Is it because the pads were not replaced along with the new rotors. (I called to a few brake shops and they ALL indicated that yes, when you get new rotors you replace the pads - Never put used pads on a new rotor). I just don't understand how a service department can be so inept. Is it due to the fact that all warranty work, service is to be done at a Hyundai Service department, and they are the only one in town? I was scheduled to take my care in today to see where the droning sound is coming from, and what do you know........... Sheppard Service called and said they had to reschedule to next week. What a load of crap.

My new 2020 Kona!

Used Car Dealers were always in the same category as dentists and personal injury lawyers for me…read moreuntil my youngest son bought a 2012 Toyota Tacoma from Joe Baudichon at Autorama in Eugene. From the very first, Joe had our trust and never let us down. The truck was exactly as described, and it was the first time in 35 years we had ever even considered buying a vehicle without a test drive because of that trust. He made our long-distance purchase from the duty station in Seattle work with text, calls, Venmo for the deposit, and lightning fast response time, even with our three week delay that held the truck for picking up when military scheduling allowed. Joe followed through with every detail and made our son's first vehicle purchase a wholly positive one. Extraordinary and impeccable pride and professionalism in an industry where we thought it was impossible to find anything of the kind! We were so impressed, and recommend Autorama and especially Joe Baudichon without reservation.

I was trying to purchase the truck from Hawaii sight unseen, and Miguel helped me every step of the way and sent me every detailed picture and all the information I requested. I can't say enough about how helpful he was. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again if the opportunity arises to purchase a vehicle. If you get the opportunity to purchase a vehicle from these guys I know you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Autorama Eugene for a wonderful experience. Aloha! Kyle

Due to the worldwide car shortages for new models and lack of hope with our local dealer to get a…read morecar anytime soon, I travelled to Sheppard Volvo in Eugene, Oregon to order and secure my new Volvo 2024 XC60 Recharge T8. I put a deposit down a few months prior and then waited patiently for the car to finally get here. Sheppard Volvo Sales staff were in constant touch about the status of the new car and very easy to deal with. Every person we interacted with at Sheppard Volvo was professional, friendly and excellent at providing customer service. The car had a few glitches (software of course) in the first few weeks and this wasn't the dealership's fault of course but they were very helpful long distance and continued to provide excellent customer service the whole time. If it made sense mileage wise - I would continue to drive long distance just to have my car serviced here instead of my local dealership just because their service, knowledge and skills are worth it. I highly recommend the folks at Sheppard Volvo!

Rethink spending your money here…read more Purchase a used Cadillac Escalade low miles from them and took delivery March 20 2024. Several days later my wife came to me stating engine was making a weird knocking noise. Volvo offers a used car warranty of 6 months. Called salesman(who was great) and he arranged us to bring it into the service department. I pulled the vehicle into check in where they have a very extensive check in process where they document your vehicle with many cameras for damage. Me and one of the technicians went on a ride he happened to work for GM at some point and was familiar with the drivetrain. We had both came to the conclusion that it was a failing lifter in the engine. He stated that their third party warranty company would need to come and approve the warranty. So we left the car for a few days. The third party and Volvo refused to repair the lifter unit there was a complete failure of the part. I was told to keep driving the vehicle until it failed. Makes no sense right?? Repair part of destroy the engine when it does fail??? Fast forward to September 20th exactly 6 months to the day. I immediately call the Volvo service department and let them know what is going on. They get back to me and state that because we made the deal on the car on March 18th that we were two days past the covered time and we're pretty much SOL. I tried explaining that we have had this vehicle for exactly the time and that you told us to keep driving it. They couldn't care less and also denied that the vehicle was ever in their service department for that issue. I tried explaining what had happened and their reply was we document every car and keep those records for 7 years. The service manager keeps saying it was never there but in fact we have all conversations documented as well as Volvo ordering me a Lyft and sending me home from the service department. Today 9/23 the story changed and they claim that the reason there is no service record is because they sent it to the Cadillac dealer. We called that said dealer and they have no record of the vehicle ever being in there shop. At this point we are getting the run around and it looks like they knew what exactly was going on and were hoping we would make it out of the warranty period and now they are dragging their feet hoping to get out of any cost to repair the engine. Mind you it's only got 74k miles on it. That lifter completely failed and damaged the engine including the cylinder head. At this point we are into this engine just for parts $2500 not including labor or machine shop work to repair the bent valves. Hopefully this review will get the attention of someone at Volvo that actually cares and wants to have a conversation other than blow us off.

After your Toyota vehicle is serviced at a shop it is good practice to verify that the service work…read morerequested was actually done and done correctly. For example, decades ago my 1971 Ford F-100 pickup truck's oil pump failed. An independent shop replaced the oil pump. After driving the truck home I looked underneath the truck to check it out. I was surprised to find that the oil pan mounting bolts were all loose... A more recent example at Eugene's Kendall Toyota for routine maintenance: Oil change, tire rotation, tire pressure check, air and oil filters, etc. The most frequent problem: The tire valve stem caps were not tightened. And after one service visit, one cap was missing. Maybe a loose cap fell off on the way home. A more serious problem was over-filling the crankcase with oil. See the first photo. As shown, the oil level was above the dipstick "full" mark (right side in the photo), estimated at 3/8-qt high. As shown in the 2nd photo, I used a Mighty-Vac hand vacuum pump with about 2 feet of small white plastic tubing to suck the excess oil out, via the dipstick tubing, into the plastic container shown in the photo. The white tubing was inserted into the dip stick tubing as far down as it would go, then the excess oil was sucked out with the Mighty-Vac pump. Then there's the tire TPWS synchronization problems with a 5-tire rotation. Yes, I have five full size tires all with TPWS sensors. That took three visits to Kendall to get them up to speed on how to do a 5-tire rotation so that the TPWS works properly without error codes. Given the above, I now check the oil level dip stick, the tire valve stem caps and the TPWS before I drive away from the shop.
