First service on my 22 Tucson

I scheduled a service appointment for my car about 6 weeks ago for a nys inspection, oil and filter change, and tire rotation. The service writer (Michael Carpenter) brought me in to the garage after just a few minutes waiting outside, wrote up my service order and told me they would also do a 26 point inspection and provide a complimentary car wash.He said it would take around an hour and a half and showed me to the new waiting room. All completed in just under 1 hour. Great service, NO complaints!

We hope to work with you again some day, but until then we wish you the safest of travels.

Engine running bad

Had my engine making some bad noises and running very rough. Got it to Lia and they set it up for the next day to service it. Took most of the day but they managed to repair it which surprised me. Car had 125,000 miles and is back running good again. Very happy.

Best salesman around is Wayne Hopwood

Wayne Hopwood was the best car salesman I have ever had in my 50 years of having cars. If you want someone fair and honest, he is the person to ask for at LIA.
