    Advertising Review:

    On May 24, 2022  the BBB asked the business to respond to  an advertisement concern regarding it's website statement: the #1 auto dealer serving Cedar Rapids.

    According to the BBB Code of Advertising Standard 28, Objective Superlative Claims: Superlative statements in advertisements about the tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service are objective claims for which the advertiser must possess substantiation as they can be based upon accepted standards or tests. As statements of fact, such claims, like #1 in new car sales in the city, can be proved or disproved.

    The BBB asked that the company provide substantiation concerning the claim.  To date the BBB has not received a response to the advertisement review.

    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    When I bought the car and had a recall I took my 2017 ******* Santa fe to the Hiawatha, IA Mcgrath service center for hyundais. I told them my vehical was burning through oil and I had to add oil every week to two weeks. They told me that if I was on the side of the road the warrenty would fix the engine if that was the issue. I ended up on the side of the road and called Mcgrath the next day when they were open to try and get my car towed off the side of the road and looked at. I was told they was gonna send me to a superviser to talk to them after I towed the car to *********, IA because they never called me back like they said they was going to. I then called again and someone told me the warranty had expiered for Mcgrath and the ******* even though when I first brought it up at my first sevice appointment a few years ago. They then sent me to the service superviser to try and tell them the codes that was reading and what I knew it wasn't but had to leave a message and still no response. Mcgrath had been called at least seven times in an attempt to get awnsers they then said they could try to put me in something eles and by the end of the work week and they would call me and I've heard nothing.

    Bought 4 cars here and I should have known better considering I know how McGrath works since I used to work here. First off how the heck is ****** a top salesman? Is that supposed to be a joke? Or **** a manager. Takes u around a week to run a finance ap! I did for u to make ur job easier and ur lazy butts couldnt call a customer back to say u need to do this or that! It takes me to call a finance manager and **** at him about ur lazy foot work to get something done. And I forget that guys name but he deserves an award he was hands down the best guy to deal with. Now when we got this car I was promised a tow hitch installed and ordered a back car mat for the trunk. This was a huge thing(the hitch) why we didnt buy the one in ******* ******** that was the same price, same year, had a sunroof, leather and a hitch! Urs had neither! Hence why I was promised a hitch. Now its been over a month roughly and nobody wants to give an answer whats going on and now the car is in ********! And not to mention **** plates I specifically said I needed ********.. called again since my husband cannot get anyone to answer and I called the finance manager since last time that actually got answers versus the lazy foot work of the sales team. And I got the vm of *************************** shocker no call back been 3 days now going on and Im not even going to get into the truck I was sold with a slipping transmission years ago. Oh and I found out someone in the finance office gave out information on this car loan and told a guy we dont even know that my husband bought it and the details of the loan. He specifically said he called McGrath for the information.. pretty sure thats illegal?
