Have any of you used Hyundai's roadside service?
So, should I give up my Auto Club Membership after 19 yrs? If you've
used Hyundai's roadside service, how did it work out? Robin -- Do not email if posting response. To email, replace x with 4 |
Re: Have any of you used Hyundai's roadside service?
Funny you asked...
I had to use it last summer when my car would not start - totally dead (turned out to be a defective battery). The upside was that Hyundai's contract station sent a flat bed truck(!) which loaded the car up and took it the mile or so to the dealer. The downside was that it took almost 2 hours. I was at work. I remember reading mixed reports here in the past (someone with a similar wait time, someone else who got a fast response). I'd keep AAA. -B "Robin" <robinxjoy@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:robinxjoy-1EA99D.18195324022004@news.west.cox.net... > So, should I give up my Auto Club Membership after 19 yrs?

Re: Have any of you used Hyundai's roadside service?
It worked great.. I have a 2004 Hyunda Elantra GT 5 speed, the silly lil
switch that stops the car from starting unless you depress the clutch pedal was faulty so needed a tow in.. was there promptly and had me to the dealer and the dealer had me back on the road within 2 hours from my first call to them..

Does the response time have anything to do with your parent company or does it depend on who's running the local towing service? I've only had to call AAA for towing once (before I purchased my Elantra) and the truck arrived in about 45 minutes. How about where the tow trucks are authorized to take the car? |

Re: Have any of you used Hyundai's roadside service?
From my experience I truly doubt that the same local tow companies are used.
Depending on the situation I might very well use Hyundai roadside assistance again. In any case, since we need it for my wife's car anyway, adding my car to AAA Plus is no big deal -B "Jason" <none.of.your.business@see.left.of.at.com> wrote in message news:fobp30p20nbut30mn6viml9sbj4hpqps2s@4ax.com... > On Wed, 25 Feb 2004 05:47:38 -0800, "swingman" > <victorsacco_nospam@highstream.net> wrote: > > > > >"Robin" <robinxjoy@yahoo.com> wrote in message > >news:robinxjoy-1EA99D.18195324022004@news.west.cox.net... > > > >> So, should I give up my Auto Club Membership after 19 yrs? > >If you've > >> used Hyundai's roadside service, how did it work out? > > > >That's a great question - here's a bunch more <g>.

Please clarify, this was with Hyundai roadside service, not AAA? What seems reasonable is that the response time may depend on who's running the local towing service, probably true for AAA as well. On the other hand, perhaps Hyundai, to save cost, contracted with lower calibre companies. I'll be curious what other people have to say who respond to this topic over the next week or so. In the meantime, I'm not going to be so quick to cancel my AAA membership.

Hyundai...the tow truck was on a job about 75 miles away, and had a flat on

Re: Have any of you used Hyundai's roadside service?
My wife started her car up one day at home and the check engine light
was blinking while the engine ran very rough. Called roadside assistance and they sent a flatbed within a 1/2 hour. Later that night we even got an automated phone call to insure we were happy with the service. On the ride down to the dealer I was talking with the tow driver about how the roadside assitance works to dispatch each tow company. It turns out that many manufacturers use the same network of towing services for roadside assistance. Generally speaking they are supposed to take you to the nearest dealer. Anything further (like to your favorite dealer) is out of your pocket. I lucked out and the driver was willing to take me to my dealer (10 miles past the closest dealer) because he hated unloading at the closest dealer. Their lot is very small and too cramed with cars to manuver such a large truck:) We dropped AAA because of the roadside assistance and haven't regretted it. I suppose if you want the freedom to be towed anywhere you want you could have the AAA Plus plan. (100 free miles for each call) On a side note... the dealer gave us an 04 XG overnite since it was too late in the day to work on our car. VERY NICE:) |

> used Hyundai's roadside service, how did it work out? I've used them several times, never had a problem... They will tow (flatbed) to any Hyundai dealership within 12 miles. I have three dealerships in that range. One heads-up though.... Don't call the dealership first, they will offer to tow you themselves (for a fee) -- S. Don't fight with Idiots.

A local service station told me that they work with "Cross County Auto Club", AAA, and a few others. Different companies pay a different amount and have different "response requirements", and if two calls come in at the same time. they will respond to the one who pays more first. -- S.

Re: Have any of you used Hyundai's roadside service?
We have both, Hyundai and AAA. Wife had a small problem last year
parking her Santa Fe in the back of a Durango (it wasn't too bad). Anyway. we went with the Hyundai roadside assitance, they seemed concerned about safety and than sent a flat bed. Took about 45min at 8am (prime time) during the week. We were happy (as happy as you can be after an accident). By the way, the Santa Fe lost, but that was due to a trailer hitch in the Durango. On the same note, Holmes body shop in Pomona, CA. did a great job of fixing it! I would highly recommend them.

Waited about forty-five minutes (middle of the day). I consider that good. Dropped AAA when the Santa Fe was purchased. Just one more cost effective result by purchasing Hyundai. S25 |
