I'm sorry to say... but I think the above applies in general these days.
If you can find any tradesman (mechanic, electrician or otherwise), that gives a Shite, then hang onto them like gold dust.

Well, I’ve had excellent service so far with Hyundai (Alppilan Autohuolto in Finland). One of the mechanics took my car for a test drive pro-bono when I complained about something minor. He drives N as well. Maybe not common sadly - and I wouldn’t put blame on staff but mgmt. Good shops still exist, you just have to find them.
Update on car . Received my car back after it being in for 3 weeks .
The gears still not great after fix , they recon my flywheel was damaged hence it making noise .
I recon they damaged it . Car still makes noise. So now I'm taking it to another dealer to look into it further .
So annoyed .

You're the first to have a flywheel damaged by the dealer replacing 5th and 6th gears. They must have been brutal removing and replacing the box.
I don't know if they damaged it or trying it on with warranty claim with hyundai .
I'm annoyed because car still makes noise from gearbox .
Recap on my car .
Car went into another hyundai garage because of the gearbox noise caused by another hyundai garage .
Car been i garage another 3 weeks . I've now got a factory reconditioned gear box because of damaged caused by the other garage .
Still waiting for car back it's so annoying. Hyundai customer service are bloody rubbish. Not a care in the world.
Will be making a claim against the first garage for the inconvenience caused by there crap fitter.

You ought to name the offending dealership. I've not bothered with any of them since day1. I do all my own servicing and always have.
You can't be far from me, I'm near Stansted Airport, which dealer actually fixed the problem?
The garage that's fixing it now have said the damage was caused by the other garage as there was bits missing inside gearbox .
The gearbox oil when drained had bits of metal inside. I'm just annoyed they didn't take no care of the vehicle.
I
I have , but they don't seem bothered . Once the garage have put a report into hyundai customer services I'm off to solicitors lol
Can anyone help me make sense of the VIN range thing? U01Y and U02Y. What are those? 2018 and 2019? Then it says to look for numbers "till TMAHC51AAKJ005783" and "till TMAHC51AAKJ006034". So that means the all numbers coming afterwards numerically are alright? For example TMAHC51AAKJ006035, TMAHC51AAKJ006036 and so on? Cheers.
After some 2 1/2 years and no one seemingly able to sort my car 100% (though it was a lot better than when I originally bought it). Traded it in and some chump paid some silly money for it (IE. only around £1,500 less than I paid for it some 2 1/2 years ago). It didn't even make it onto the Dealers O/L 2nd hand car web site, it sold after a couple of days from a Facebook post.

Hey Guys,
So i am getting a little bit worried after reading this post. I have just bought a 2019 N with only 20k on the clock. Now i am having a little bit of an issue with 5th and 6th but more so with 6th. You can feel sometimes that when going into 5th it has a bit of a pop to go in and when it comes to 6th it can be like that or not go in completely and when you lift the clutch it then pops in gear. Am i having this same horrible issue that most of you are having and need to have my gearbox fixed?
