Horrible service management and poor care of your vehicle. 14 months ago had a small accident and dealt with service after bodyshop. Vehicle still not fixed properly as of today. Have been painted 3x vehicle. 14 months ago had a small accident and dealt with service after bodyshop. Vehicle still not fixed properly as of today. Have been painted 3x, they tried to sell me parts that their technician broke on my vehicle, I was charged $150 for diagnostic when I knew what the issue was and it was caused when the vehicle was in their care, which I had to pay for a new part again since they wouldn’t help correct the issue or warrant the part since it was brand new less that a year prior purchased there as well…I was given poor advice in regards to tires, and I was lied to and told MPI would cover a problem that Winnipeg Hyundai caused. Waited on the phone with MPI for 2 hours for no reason, just to be told that they would never cover a battery. I booked an apt and my vehicle was not touched at all. Was told I had to book an additional apt weeks later. Once I finally picked up my vehicle I was still unhappy with the paint and performance as it would not start, and it left me stranded 3km away from my house so I had to walk home in the rain eaten alive by mosquitos due to their installation error (car would not shift because trans lines were not secure and tranny fluid drained out onto the road). I was also charged for a part that I didn’t even use, it’s still in the plastic with part number on it and Parts manager would not take back even though it was recommended by their service tech so I purchased it thinking it would be needed for them to install. Over a full year of having the same issue and still not fixed over $4k+ later. I would not go back unless refunded diagnostic fee, battery reimbursed, accept unused part back & have damaged parts replaced that tech broke & tried to sell me, and steering wheel corrected (off centre) Their errors forced me to arrange a flat bed tow 2x back to their dealer from the work and was never offered reimbursement or helped out at all. My settings were not returned after car being there and they blamed the issues I had on my speakers in my car which have been installed for 8 years and have never given me an issue in the past. Also I have a new battery since then and the issue is gone, proving my speakers were never the problem, but still I get charged for diagnostic with verdict being speakers??? My steering wheel is also not straight anymore after being there. Can’t stress enough how much I would never recommend anyone to this dealership to anyone. More

The General Sales Manager Jeff Treichel, the Finance Manager Chris Martin, and the Sales Representative Eric Anderson were very attentive to my needs as a customer; clear and patient when answering my m Manager Chris Martin, and the Sales Representative Eric Anderson were very attentive to my needs as a customer; clear and patient when answering my many questions and they all, provided opportunities for follow up if there were after the sale concerns, which reinforces a feeling that the service was about “ customer service” and not about “just getting the sale” . I am really enjoying the vehicle and with the exception of a 50-50 response on the effectiveness of blue link on the command start, I have zero complaints. I also understand blue link are their own entity and while connected to Hyundai, Hyundai is not responsible for the effectiveness of the Blue Link application. I will follow up directly with Blue Link. I will miss the power tail gate that I had with my last vehicle but absolutely all other aspects of the vehicle are terrific, the vehicle handles well, has lots of features and looks super sharp! In the future, in all likelihood, I will look forward to an upgrade to the Ultimate plug-in hybrid model. Thank you Winnipeg Hyundai! More

Bill represented my I do appreciate the Service Dept. as well. I just purchased my 21 Santa Fe Caligraphy and was satisfied with the deal I received. Bill represented my interests/ position fairly and process was expedited. Bill is ‘old school’ with customer service which I appreciate. Some could learn from him. Great representative for the company. Service has been very good for the past 10 years I’ve been a customer. If you want a fair reasonable deal, give Bill a try! Always found Paul McCrindle great to deal with, professional no hassle attitude. More
