Hyundai i30
11/26/23

Pros: Car was good.

Cons: It was difficult to discuss the fee of $59.08 charged to me as a customer by Discover Cars. The woman from Alpha I spoke to initially listened, but she appeared to grow frustrated with my insistence that the charge of $59.08 from Discover Cars was opaque and excessive. I told her that the charge reflected poorly on Alpha because there is a nexus between Alpha and Discover Cars. She did not appear persuaded by my argument.
