Terrible unprofessional service
I enquired about the purchase for a second hand Hyundai Venue that was advertised on their website. I was told it was sold and that he would look around for another. The sales person then proceeded to try to hard sale me into a totally different car which we were not interested in. Later he phoned back to say that the car that was sold was actually not sold. I asked him if he could bring it for us to test drive as the lady who was buying it is elderly and would be more comfortable driving something completely new to her in an area that she knows. He agreed and we made I time. He then phoned back to ask us to put down a deposit to secure the vehicle, and I said no because who puts a deposit down on a car they haven’t seen or driven. There was quite some planning involved to get her son away from work to be there to check everything that needed to be checked. The sales person, Ruan Nolte never arrived and didn’t even have the decency to WhatsApp and say he wasn’t coming. I phoned the office to speak to him, because he wasn’t taking my WhatsApp calls and I wasn’t sure if he was still on his way, the person who answered said he would call back. He never did and never re**** to my messages . That kind of service is unacceptable, rude and very unprofessional and pushy sales is off-putting. I’m glad we dodged a bullet there because I can only imagine what the after sales service would be like. Avoid Ruan Nolte if you can.

Warning: Avoid Hyundai Brackenfell
Our experience with Hyundai Brackenfell has been nothing short of a nightmare. We purchased two Renault vehicles at 15,000 km, both without service books. When we asked, we were told these cars “don’t come with service books” and that “everything is digital.” We trusted them. That trust has cost us dearly. When the vehicles were due for service, Renault requested the books. We relayed Hyundai Brackenfell’s explanation, only to be told that no such system exists. We went back to Hyundai Brackenfell, who promised to contact the supplier. Weeks turned into months, countless emails and phone calls later, and still nothing. Now one of the vehicles has a serious engine fault requiring a warranty claim. That claim cannot proceed without a full service history. Despite repeated requests, Hyundai Brackenfell has failed to provide the records. Even Renault themselves reached out, but Hyundai Brackenfell continues to ignore the issue. We are stuck, unable to claim warranty, unable to move forward, and left with a vehicle that is due for its 90,000 km service while Hyundai Brackenfell drags its feet. Their negligence, dishonesty, and lack of accountability have left us stranded and financially exposed. Hyundai Brackenfell has shown zero respect for their customers. Their excuses are misleading, their communication is appalling, and their failure to resolve this matter is unacceptable. We feel deceived and abandoned. We find this so unacceptable.

The worst rip-off I ever encountered
Bought a car 30 Aug 2025 and it has been giving problems since. Complained at the dealership, dealer principle Jason was copied in all my e-mails and he never intervened until I complaint at ICARE, the regional manager is copied in all my e-mails and until today he never responded to my e-mails. The dealership refuses to give my money back after all the issues with the car. They are making me out to be a ****, but I have proof of all that they failed to do before they sold the car to me. I now had the car inspected independently and it turns out that the car was in an accident and none of this was disclosed to me upon purchase (front bumper, driver side fender, driver side front door, driver side rear door, driver side quarter panel, rear bumper and boot lid resprayed) and new non-original badges fitted. The dealership principal are making everything out to be minor and says that they had done all fixes and never turned me away. Tersius(manager) went as far as to tell me that had I bought a car in Voortrekker, they would have just turned me away. Russell Beukes(sales person) blocked me after he refused assistance when my partner was standing alongside the road and felt unsafe to driver the car further. While the car was at their workshop for repairs, the car was given back to me and the next day I had to take the car back and it turned out that there were nuts and bolts that was not *****ed back after they did their repairs. Tersius and Russell blamed the workshop and made a remark about how they are experiencing ongoing issues with the workshop. The car is standing at the dealership since and I am left stranded, paying an installment and insurance for a car that is not in my possession.

Appalling service
I’ve been waiting almost a week for a response from the dealership with absolutely no feedback or update. When I contacted Hyundai Head Office for help, they simply referred me back to the same branch — the very place that’s not responding in the first place. This level of service is unacceptable. There’s no accountability, no urgency, and no sign that anyone actually cares about resolving customer issues. For a brand as big as Hyundai, this is extremely disappointing. I expected far better communication, professionalism, and customer care.

Do NOT take your car to Hyundai Brackenfell if you want good service
I believe reviews are important - they help businesses know if they are doing well, or where they need to improve. They also help potential clients make decisions. Hyundai South Africa - Brackenfell branch. Order of events: Wed 1 October +/- 8:00AM - I call and ask for a quote on major service as I saw the ad online that it was discounted. Saleslady advises she would return my call at 09:00 to confirm the price. Wed 1 October +/- 12:00PM - I call again and the first lady was not available and I left a msg. Wed 1 October +/- 14:00PM - Saleslady calls and advises cost is R3943...I booked the car in for today 6 October. Wed 6 October +/- 8:30AM - Book the car in, and informed that the shuttle would be there at around 09:00. I had to enquire twice after 9:00 to find out where the driver was, and each time was told he'd be there in 10-15 minutes. I ended up leaving around 9:55. Wed 6 October +/- 17:00PM - I call to find out if my car service was completed as I had not been notified of anything. Receive an apology and told I could make my way to the workshop. Wed 1 October +/- 17:30PM - Arrive at workshop and get an invoice of R4700+. I correct them politely and this is resolved. I ask for a breakdown of what was done...no mention of any belts being checked or replaced. - this is a 2016 Hyundai with about 80 000kms on the clock. I'm not sure if any belts should have been checked. Saleslady enquires with possibly the maneger who looks at me and says - "The car doesn't have ny belts other than the v-belt."..I stare and wait.. she responds again "But I'm sure they would have checked it." I then get told that I could bring the car in AGAIN to have the checks done to ensure that it is checked. By the time I had arrived (because I was not notified timeously), the workshop was closed and there was noone they could ask. Now I await another call tomorrow to let me know when I may bring the car in AGAIN and inconvenience myself and waste my time. BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE....get to the car and a ****poor cleaning job was done (see pictures) - not properly washed or vacuumed, not even the decency to remove the magnets on the doors and clean underneath . So to make a long story longer...I would honestly not recommend taking your car to Hyundai South Africa - Brackenfell branch.
