Took my car in on Monday, have heard nothing, do I called today, they are closed now indefinitely due to the Corona virus.
They could of said something before I left my car with them for three days, and what am I supposed to do about getting my car back in the meantime?

I would think that somebody would be at the dealer to let you get your car. Do you have a loaner?

Steal it? Oh wait, you have a key. :cool:

Seriously though how could a dealership shut down and not contact owners who had cars sitting there?

Well, they did and noone is even answering the phone. Just a message saying what they did.

Yea, I do have a loaner but it's not my car, if you know what I mean, There is stuff in my car that I didn't plan on leaving there for more than a day or so though.
This is just BS. Supposedly they did this the day I dropped it off and didn't say anything. Ugh

This dealership is so big, you can't even get to where the service department is without checking in with someone first, I'd have no clue where my car was or if it is torn apart at the moment, lol

So the service manager calls me now and apologizes. They were supposed to contact me yesterday and didn't, but the governor made them close for at least the next two weeks, and he made arrangements for me to pick up my car tomorrow.
Bad news is they have done nothing to it to figure out the issues going on, so now I gotta take it back in again whenever they open.

In 2006 I dropped off my 2004 Tiburon GT at the dealer for some warranty work and listening to the weather people saying it going to be a small snow fall turned out to be one of the biggest snow storms in 2006 so my car was stuck at the dealership for a few days and it supposed to be a few hour job

You done goofed for not leaving it there.
A loaner for 2+ weeks? Nice.
My car is an ext 1.5 coupe.
They gave me a 2.0 bottom of the line sedan, and on top of that, it's white. Lol
