I had had an okay buying experience and appreciated their effort, particularly the hustle of my sales person, Martha. Sadly, today, since I've had my vehicle for 10 months and am not looking to buy another, I've got to say they are pretty *horrible* and are, indeed, all about the hustle - once the sale has closed, it's over.
Today we learned, after taking our car to a different, more responsive Hyundai dealership for service, that the slow loss of tire pressure that we have been having in one of the tires of our 2025 vehicle that we bought in March of last year was due to a *patch* on the tire.
Imagine our shock to learn that, no, the weird loss of pressure in the tire was not because of the cold weather; it was because the tire had been repaired, before our purchasing it, with a patch.
I called hoping to get help from Martha my salesperson. Though I was told she was there -- and even tried texting her, as she had formerly been very responsive -- no response at all.
I spoke with Mr. Leung today, their business development manager, and he suggested that it had been "too long" since I bought the vehicle to get help with the *patched* tire, making the illogical suggestion that I had patched the tire.
The absolute foolishness, of course, is: had I patched and it was leaking, I would have had zero reason to call Vallejo Hyundai. I would have re-patched it or bought a new tire, as was suggested by the dealership who informed me that the tire had been patched.
Lastly, after Mr. Leung got off the phone to get Mr. Yanni, the general manager, only to return and tell me that Mr. Yanni was not there and that Martha was not available, Mr. Leung suggested that I call back on Monday.
Of course, this suggestion, one, was foolish, as I have no ability to know when Mr. Yanni may be available; two, it demonstrates the atrociously poor customer service that I have been met with... unless they at Vallejo Hyundai think they can make a sale.
When I bought my vehicle, the showroom looked more akin to a temporary warehouse that had had a feeble attempt to make it look like a sales showroom.
I wish I had gone with my better mind and left, in spite of our having driven a good distance to visit this place and but my vehicle. I was tired that day and ignored all of the red flags, regrettably.
Never again.
Vallejo Hyundai's customer service is terrible. They are only responsive if they believe they can make a sale.
Martha, indeed, has a hustle. It's 100% hustle. read more
