Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Customer Questions and Answers


Your dealership will receive many inquiries from customers about the campaign, and It's important that you respond accurately and courteously.

You'll have the opportunity to see many Hyundai owners - and to renew their confidence in your dealership. If you treat customers well during the campaign, you'll open up future service opportunities.

Make sure that all your employees are aware of the campaign. Consider assigning a few key people - such as the Consumer Affairs Manager, Service Manager and Service Advisors - to handle customer inquiries. And make sure everyone knows where to route those inquiries.

Owners who appear to have a legal-related question (for example, one regarding an accident or injury) should be referred to the Consumer Assistance Center.

We've compiled a list of questions you're likely to be asked, along with the appropriate responses.
