Consumer Description

My car was consuming a lot of oil. Hyundai dealership of Spartanburg,SC performed several oil consumption tests. Later I was advised to do an engine cleaning which was about $300. That didn’t resolve the issue. I was then told a piston was broken and couldn’t be fixed to just “wait till the engine blows out” and the motor company will pay for engine replacement. I use this vehicle to transport my four young daughters and fear when and where my engine will go out on us!
