Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Troy, Idaho

I have been trying to get mud flaps and the all weather floor mats for my 2011 Elantra. The dealership doesn't have them yet. Canada has them though. I spoke to the service department and was told that it may be 4 months before the dealerships get these accessories. I called Hyundai USA customer service and was told they have no time frame to have these accessories available. I live in Michigan and apparently some Detroit dealers have the mud guards but when the service dept called one dealer in Troy, Mi it turns out that they have an after market mud guard but it doesn't fit very well. What's up with Hyundai dragging their feet on getting these items to the dealerships? John

Sorry I didn't see your reply message a long while ago. I ended up not taking the deal at that time - opted to keep my old car. Now I'm back in the market for a car... the same deal is going (actually 370/month) - Troy, Michigan. A dealer in Cleveland had one also.

Just purchased Toyota Extra Care Platinum warranty with zero deductible from Jerry at the Midwest Superstore in Hutchinson, KS for my 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid purchased new in December 2007. I live in California. Prior to purchasing I called 2 other dealers which come up a lot in the various forums. Doug at Danville Toyota (Illinois) and Troy at Toyota of Greenfield (Massachusetts). Here are their respective quotes: Midwest Superstore in Hutchinson 7yr/100k = 999.00 8yr/100k = 1149.00 no sales tax Danville Toyota 7yr/100k = 1100.00 8yr/100k = 1250.00 no sales tax Toyota of Greenfield 7yr/100k = 1055.00 8yr/100k = 1215.00 no sales tax

My 2010 CXS has the intermittant clanging / bang sound immediately as the engine catrches upon starting. The dealer wants the car overnight and I am putting it off until I need a service at 5,000 miles (tire rotation and oil change). I had it inspected once already at 1000 miles. At 1600-1800 miles, the noise seemed related to morning cold starts. It still occured under all engine and ambient temp conditions, probably every 7th start. Now, at 3100 miles, it has become infrequent and is one in about 12-15 starts. There is no noticeable correlation to temp. Another poster claimed that his exhaust and a long baffle had to be replaced to rid his car of the problem. My dealer claims to have never heard of this before. I don't have any confidence in Suburban Caddilac Buick of Troy.

My own experience and my reading of posts here, makes me reach an inescapable conclusion: many (GM) dealers are both ignorant and apathetic. I stopped by Shelton Buick, Rochester , MI today. I asked two questions: 1. Should cruise control allow a variation of up to 5 mph if roads have inclines? Answer: Yes. I conceded this is GM Engineering's issue if its true that there is no adjustment. My Mercedes E350 held speed inside a 2mph variance. 2. On level roads, cruise set to 75, tires at 35#, windows shut, is 24.5 mpg acceptable when others report 29-30 under the SAME conditions and with the SAME engine? Answer: "If the engine is running correctly, then 24.5 is acceptable. Seems to me a catch 22. They have no interest in looking, diagnosing or helping. I raised two issues: 1. My Blackberry Storrn 2 / Verizon is a tested and approved phone. I just left the Verizon store and they confirmed that the phone is properly updated with OS and service books. The GM website confirms I should be able to d/l my contacts to the car. Can you check my car? Answer: "That's something you should check with your salesmen". I asked if the salesmen get technical training on Bluetooth. No response. Dealer won't touch it. 2. I have a clanging banging noise immediately after start. On this forum I read that GM knows this and in at least one case replaced an entire exhaust system. Are there any technical bulletins or have you run into this before. "No Sir, why don't you leave the car and maybe we can hear it doing it ourselves." Both Mariah and a Buick regional customer service agent have pursued the Bluetooth issue. After several emails, its clear there is no expertise. I am working with messengers who do not have even basic understanding of what pairing a phone means. In my last call with the agent, she closed the call with "Thank you for buying CADILLAC" !!! Enough said. I bought this car at Suburban in Troy. I will go there and try to get my two issues resolved. I hold little hope based on earlier experiences there.
