Am enjoying it Very Happy

I try to not let small things affect me to much.
And am done dealing with them by myself anymore, I've been pushed around enough. I have someone handling them and he's not one to play around with. Laughing

And at least now the Salesman is stepping up to better service. Very Happy

So after the last service a woman in service Dept call me to find out how was my Service experience and if any complaints etc. Confused

I was reading on another thread and came to ask same question I asked.

If we do not take our vehicle to be serviced by NnM then tht Voids the warranty?
So I have to take it in 5000, 10000 etc?

Do they rip us off in these servicing? Do they change parts tht don't need changing or say they do stuff and really don't?

Thanks for the reply DW Smile

I haven't made 5000 yet but by next month I wud so just finding out. Is all kinda sides of a story I hearing.

Wht oil they use? I know they said Castrol but can't remember if its Castrol Synthetic.

When I first started servicing they used some oil starting with H..cant remember the name right now.

Then it changed to Castrol. It was always a full syntec they used.

Gem_in_i,
i am thinking of buying a tuscon soon...in fact we are going in next week to look at it...i am hoping that we don't the same kind of trouble that you get for yours... Confused

Can any of the gas based model drivers comment on the type of mileage they get on average for the Tucson ..I am curious as to how much different it is compared to the diesel version.. Idea

Hottgirl get the Tucson you won't regret it. Very Happy

My biggest problem was getting the vehicle released and tht was Customs fault.
Maybe if they have in stock you wount have to go thru the ordering and waiting and then waiting on Customs to release it.
Also I've been hearing abt price increase but am not sure.

DW I never really watched my gas consumption but one of my runs to an office I make abt 130kms cud be more sometimes, to office and back and I use abt 1/4 tank gas or lil less.
Oh, and I drive with a/c.

Gem, we wanted to get a black but the sales rep said that its the most difficult colour to get....so i guess we're gonna get a different colour instead...the guy also said that it cld take as soon as a week or as long as a month..how long did you have to wait for customs to clear?
The price quote we got was not bad..but do they offer any discounts?

Gem_in_i · Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 8:55 pm Post subject:

The sales rep usually go on the computer and find the colour you want and book it for you, after you pay the downpayment of course.
It sucks when you don't get the colour you want. Are you in hurry to get it? I think it took abt 5-6 wks to get to Trinidad. Depends on when you catch the shipment coming in.

I took more than a month waiting for Customs to clear my vehicle from the Bond. I was told they clear one day for the week. And during my time they were giving some trouble, or so I was told.

I didn't get any discount. Maybe others did but I didn't get anything free from them.

BTW for those who want the pipe side rails Auto Air now got their stock in. But as I said before am not buying anything from them again.

Yeah..no discount either Crying or Very sad

, only some "free" mats that I changed anyways and a Hyundai keychain...not even some reverse sensors Embarassed

Oh I almost forgot. I got 'free' road side assistance for one year from N&M.
A woman called me ytday to confirm my address and said they would mail me a package and I should get tht in 3-4wks.

Ahh yes...the "free" road side assistance...I remember that...luckily I never needed to use it Wink

They shudda fire him. Confused

Its going to be a pain to get my vehicle serviced now tht school has reopened. Its already hard to take in vehicle so early in morning and then go pick it up when its done in normal circumstances.
They should have a Loan vehicle for you to use. I not into travelling to class.

And this week or next week it wud need to go in for 2nd service. Confused

Gem_in_i · Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 3:33 pm Post subject:

But wht happened just now? I cudda swear I just read a post by Rory and made tht fire him remark. Laughing

Maybe the heat and stress getting to me. Confused

Good tht it was solved amicably Very Happy

DW you taking it in for 50K and I taking mine in for 5K Very Happy

But mine wud be adding on the milage now tht I have to be driving to school at least 3 times per week. Confused

Gem_in_i · Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 9:37 pm Post subject:

Norstar2k, are there any places in South like ACL tht I could go to besides NnM south and still keep my warrant intact?

BTW, this is off topic, but I does be scared driving on the Highway at times Sad

no telling wht can happen. I could be innocently going to or from class and have some vehicle flying off lane etc and hitting me.

Thanks for the tips norstar. I really appreciate it Smile

I do 3 out of your 4 tips. Concerning the classes I have to go uwi STA. If uwi South offered those classes would have surely taken it in South.
As you said its hard work driving on our roads these days.

Gem and DW, no discounts Shocked

Well we shld be able to book an order in about 2-3weeks for the tuscon...i hope that we dont get the frustrations that you got esp since we are going through the company...who knows, maybe we might get better service (i hope)..

Anyway the 'free' roadside assistance doesn't sound like much esp since that comes with the insurance and if my vehicle were to need assistance in the first year, i'd be very worried... Neutral
