    Crown Hyundai gave me the most horrendous customer service I have ever experienced. My car (purchased from Crown) was towed there after breaking down. Crown immediately lost my car key, tried to blame it on the tow truck driver. I called Crown daily to get an update on my vehicle. No one could ever tell me what was happening. I was promised calls back numerous times (even from the service manager, Ryan) and they failed to call me back almost every time. The service director, John, was also notified of the issue and failed to follow up. Crown magically found my key nearly 2 weeks later, and never notified me (until I called to ask). After numerous more un-returned phone calls, I finally presented myself in person only to find out that my vehicle had never even been put into the repair computer system. The in-person staff offered apologies and offered to expedite a fix on the vehicle. 10 minutes later, they informed me that my vehicle could not be serviced by them and we would have to take it elsewhere. This is something that should have been obvious on day one if anyone had actually taken the time to review my concerns. Save yourself and purchase/service your vehicle anywhere else but the Crown dealerships.
