2010 UPDATE - The rolling 3 year complaint rate at Planet Hyundai has only gotten worse in the 6 years I have run this web site. When I first started the site in 2004 the 3 year tally was 34. Despite multiple changes in General Managers over the years, the current 3 year complaint history is 49 as of 5/15/2010. If the Tamburro management is truly committed to changing the way things are done at Planet Hyundai, we should see these numbers finally start to come down.
The Bureau processed a total of 49 complaint(s) about this company in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period.

34 - ResolvedI asked the BBB what "Administratively Closed" meant. The answer - the issue was not resolved to the customers satisfaction, however the company decided it had done all it was willing to do . So of all the complaints against Planet Hyundai in the last 3 years - 30% of them ended in the customer not being made right! Talk about adding insult to injury! Makes you wonder how closing complaints this way can still allow a company to be in "Satisfactory" standing...
Note to consumer - make sure you check how many BBB complaints were "administratively closed" vs. resolved if you want a more accurate measure of how the company values its customers!
Interesting fact - In summer of 2004 the 36
month tally of disputes was 37. 1 year later the number had gone up to 43! 2008, up to 46. 2010, up to 49.
