Description of the problem	I received a notice for safety recall for my car which i just bought 3 months ago from hyundai dealership in tampa. My car is making noise from the engine as i drive. I called today to the dealership and they stated that i would have to drop the car off. I said that's fine as long as i can get a loaner so i can drive to my work. The person (jeffery martinez) refused stating that they don't have a loaner car right now. I said you are giving me appointment for thursday and how can you tell me that the loaner is not available for thursday? He just kept refusing and so i asked to speak to a manager and he just tells me that the manager will call me and hangs up the phone. I called this morning and talked to a person name karen and she told me that loaner cars are only for people who pay for services and that i would have to speak to an advisor for it. That person never called me! I am not happy with the service that i received from this dealership. This is not my fault that the engine is making noise due to recall and if i have to get it fixed then i should be able to get a loaner complimentary until my car is fixed.
