Checkered Flag Hyundai - Service Reviews

Hope D. Virginia Beach, Virginia Nov 29, 2012

I visited Checkered Flag Hyundai to get an oil change for my 2010 Elantra. This was the first time I had ever used the Checkered Flag service department and I have to say that I was very impressed. It was reasonably priced and the service was excellent! The staff was friendly and the waiting area was very comfortable. I plan on being a regular customer going forward as I was so impressed! Great job! Thank you!

I wanted to send a big thank you for taking care of my car the way you did. The 10,000 mile service was great but I was astonished to find my car cleaned AND vacuumed. I had just come back from a rather long trip. That extra service was so unexpected! I want to send my heartfelt thanks to SHAINA for her outstanding job!

Tuner-Designer John Pangilinan the First to Receive Hyundai SEMA Award

Hyundai has awarded its first SEMA President's Choice award to the JP Edition Hyundai Veloster Turbo, built by tuner and designer John Pangilinan. Pangilinan, known by the tuner community simply as “John P.,” is the first Hyundai SEMA tuner to receive the President's Choice award for best Hyundai SEMA Concept. In consultation with paint supplier BASF, the JP Edition Veloster incorporates a brilliant mint green exterior finish, attracting the attention of SEMA attendees throughout the show.

"Selecting our first SEMA President's Choice wasn't easy," said John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "Hyundai's booth was loaded with seven innovative concepts building upon our popular Veloster, Genesis Coupe, and Elantra GT models. In the end, though, I couldn't resist the JP Edition Veloster. The distinctive mint green paint, wide fender flares and blacked-out wheel package was just a cleanly-integrated overall vehicle concept. Congratulations, John!"

"I'm thrilled to receive the President's Choice award from Hyundai this year,” said John Pangilinan, creator of the JP Edition Veloster concept. “In creating the JP Edition Veloster, we were inspired to take the Veloster's distinctive design cues and accentuate them with an iris-warping brilliant mint green exterior finish. The JP Edition Veloster concept takes the Veloster production car into ultra-exclusive tuner-car territory." John P. will receive an honorary plaque for the award, as well as a $5,000 honorarium for his efforts with this Hyundai concept.

The JP Edition's 1.6-liter, direct-injected Veloster Turbo engine receives an ARK performance exhaust, while the suspension adds KW coilovers, Whiteline sway bars and anti-lift kit, and a Brembo® big brake kit. Blacked-out Ray's Gram Lights Xtreme57 Wheels and Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires perfectly fill the bright mint green TS Designs fender flares by designer Jon Sibal.

Did you know?

Happy Monday everyone! Did you know that the first speeding tickets were given out in 1902! At the time the top speed of most cars was around 45 miles per hour. Times have certainly changed. The average top speed of most cars now is around 124 mph!

Keep up the great work team!

I had my Hyundai serviced on Oct 27 and Mike and his crew were great. They kept me informed throughout the day and let me know a part was going to need to be ordered to fix a chirping noise coming from my fan (they actually heard the chirp!).

I recently brought my car into the shop to have my battery checked out. Indeed it was near the end of its life so it was replaced. I have had my car in for service several times, always being treated with professionalism.
