Step 1: Speak with your local Hyundai retailer
Your first point of contact for any question, issue or complaint relating to Hyundai products or services should always be your local Hyundai retailer. Your retailer has full access to your order and purchase details, including if and how your vehicle was financed. They are therefore best placed to help. You can find your local Hyundai retailer here: https://www.hyundai.com/uk/en/retailer-locator.html

We aim to respond to all complaints within three working days, and to resolve them within 10 working days. Where your complaint relates to a consumer credit agreement, we are required to respond to all complaints with a final outcome within 8 weeks. In exceptional cases, where a complaint cannot be resolved within these deadlines, we commit to keeping you informed and explaining the reasons for the delay.
Step 3: Independent Review
If you remain unhappy with our response, you can raise it with an independent third party. This may be The Motor Ombudsman or The Financial Ombudsman Service, dependent on the nature of your complaint.
The Motor Ombudsman
The Motor Ombudsman is the automotive dispute resolution body. Fully impartial, it is the first Ombudsman to be focused solely on the automotive sector, and self-regulates the UK’s motor industry through its comprehensive Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI)-approved Codes of Practice. These drive even higher standards of work and service, and give consumers added protection, peace of mind and trust during the vehicle purchase and ownership experience.
By You can contact The Motor Ombudsman by phone, online or by post:
