Evans Halshaw - Hyundai Doncaster Reviews 

Dear Hyundai UK Customer Experience Team,

I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding the extremely poor service I received from Evans Halshaw Hyundai Doncaster.

My vehicle is still under warranty, and I brought it to the dealership because the engine warning light was illuminated and the Auto Hold/parking brake system was not functioning correctly.

I specifically reported the Auto Hold problem twice:

1. During the online check-in, where I clearly stated that the Auto Hold was not working and needed to be investigated.
2. Again in person when I arrived at the dealership in the morning to drop the vehicle off. My brother-in-law was with me at the time and heard me report the issue to the member of staff at reception.

Despite this, the Auto Hold fault was apparently not investigated at all.

What is even more concerning is that I was subsequently told that I had not reported the Auto Hold problem. I completely dispute this. I know exactly what I reported, and I expect Hyundai/Evans Halshaw to be able to check the records from my online check-in and the information recorded when the vehicle was handed over.

I find it extremely disappointing that I clearly reported a fault, yet the dealership failed to investigate it and then effectively denied that I had reported it.

Furthermore, I was charged £312, despite the issue I specifically reported not being properly investigated or resolved.

I consider this completely unacceptable, particularly because:

* The vehicle is still under warranty.
* The Auto Hold fault was clearly reported.
* The fault was reported both online and verbally at the dealership.
* The dealership should have access to its own online check-in records and vehicle service records.
* I was subsequently told that I had not reported the issue.
* I was charged £312 despite the reported fault not being properly addressed.

I am therefore requesting that Hyundai UK formally investigate this matter, rather than simply referring me back to the dealership.

I want Hyundai UK to investigate:

1. The online check-in record and confirm exactly what faults I reported.

2. The dealership’s internal records relating to my vehicle and the information recorded when I dropped the vehicle off.

3. Why the Auto Hold fault was not investigated despite being reported.

4. Why I was subsequently told that I had not reported the fault.

5. Exactly what work was carried out to justify the £312 charge.

6. Why I was charged for a vehicle-related issue when the specific fault I reported was not properly investigated or resolved.

I also request a full explanation of the £312 charge and a review of whether this money should be refunded.

I am extremely unhappy with the way I was treated at Evans Halshaw Hyundai Doncaster. I found the attitude of the staff at reception to be dismissive and unhelpful, particularly when I was told that I had not reported something that I had clearly reported both online and in person.

I do not believe this is an acceptable standard of customer service from an authorised Hyundai retailer, especially when dealing with a vehicle that is still under warranty.

I would like this complaint to be formally logged and investigated by Hyundai UK. Please do not simply close this complaint by referring me back to the dealership. I expect Hyundai UK to review the dealership’s records and provide me with a proper written explanation.

I would also like confirmation that the dealership’s records relating to my online check-in, vehicle inspection and reported faults have been reviewed.

I have lost a significant amount of confidence in Evans Halshaw Hyundai Doncaster as a result of this experience. I expect Hyundai UK to take this complaint seriously and provide a clear resolution.

I look forward to receiving your formal response, including an explanation regarding the £312 charge and the failure to investigate the Auto Hold fault.

I decided to look at an i20 Play that was still being prepped and dealt with Gary. He was super friendly, knew his stuff, and really cared about looking after his customers. There was a delay when it came to collecting the car, which was a little disappointing, but Gary went completely out of his way to sort it out. His solution meant a lot to me. Great customer service!

Had a great experience at Hyundai Doncaster. Nicky in Services is always polite, helpful, and easy to chat with, which makes everything straightforward. The receptionist was welcoming too, offering drinks and biscuits to everyone waiting.

My car was finished on time, and the whole place has a relaxed, customer‑friendly feel. I felt comfortable while waiting and I’m really happy with the service overall.

Helpful no bullshit mamby pamby service just nice friendly staff not constantly trying to sell you something you don’t want like some Hyundai dealers

Customer service is excellent. Everyone goes out of their way to ensure the visits are as smooth as possible.

Great efficient and friendly service

My air-conditioning was fixed, and explained clearly by Chloe, who was friendly and helpful

Not often you can expect the times quoted happen but our experience was perfect and a phone call to say it was ready

The entire staff were very helpful yet professional.

Good customer service
