After I signed the contract, I took the car to my mechanic, and he discovered that the whole undercarriage was rusted. The muffler, the shock absorbers, the rotators. He said it had been in water somewhere and that the car was going to need a lot of money to fix. Plus, he said they did not service the car before they sold it to me or they would have known this and were obligated to disclose this to me, which they did not. He also said the coolant wasn't filled, the oil was dirty and a part of the engine was not secured. I went right back and told them I didn't want the car and they said too bad I signed the contract. I need a car because the car they sold me last June needed repairs that costs me hundreds of dollars until it finally blew a gasket. So, this is the second time I have had to deal with them! I am a 63 year old woman who lives on disability. They took advantage of me and I want them investigated for bad business practices and I want my money back which they refuse to do! Please help me!! People need to know what kind of dealership this is! Now I am out $9,000 dollars and stuck with a car that needs hundreds of dollars in repairs! More

Not trustworthy, deceitful, misleading and dishonest. End of 2024 they called to buy out my current lease on my Stinger. Worst car experience ever. Besides taking up my entire afternoon because they wer End of 2024 they called to buy out my current lease on my Stinger. Worst car experience ever. Besides taking up my entire afternoon because they were understaffed at year-end, they gave me my Sorento with a nail in one of the tires, no floor mats and the car from the showroom was never cleaned. That wasn't all. After I manually signed my lease agreement, they never asked if I wanted a $599 protection plan (tire rotation & inspections) and here's the kicker. The finance rep sent a lease agreement to Kia Finance that had different dollar figures and a higher monthly payment that I signed and agreed to. Their response. I don't know how that happened and people make mistakes. I had Kia Finance send me what they received from the dealership and my signature and initials were forged. Instead of making it right and explaining to me what happened, they said we'll send you a check to cover the overage for the increase for 36 months. Don't make it right, just buy me out. Guess what. I have no check to this day. Buyer Beware. They are not honest. More

**One-Star Review for Courage Kia, Lowell** I had an extremely disappointing experience at Courage Kia on December 18th. I visited the dealership to address an error message regarding my front left turn extremely disappointing experience at Courage Kia on December 18th. I visited the dealership to address an error message regarding my front left turn signal, even though all signals were functioning. Since I had just purchased the vehicle two weeks prior, I also requested a full inspection for peace of mind. Initially, the service team informed me that the headlight would need replacing, and they claimed it wouldn’t be covered under warranty due to a scratch on the right headlight, quoting me $3,000 for the repair. I pointed out that the issue was with the left turn signal, so why would the right headlight need fixing? After some back-and-forth, they abruptly changed their story, stating it would be covered under warranty and providing me with a date for the part’s arrival. However, the day after my visit, I noticed what appeared to be damage on the passenger side door, which looked consistent with a lift point. Concerned, I called the dealership immediately, and a manager told me to bring the car in at 7:45 AM on December 20th. This was quite an inconvenience as I live two hours away in Asheville. Upon my arrival, the service representative was initially helpful and acknowledged the damage. He mentioned that they would need to schedule a visit to the body shop and apologized for the inconvenience. As we began filling out the paperwork, a man from the back office interrupted and asked about the issue. I explained the situation and showed him the damage. What followed was shocking. He outright denied that the lift could have caused the damage and aggressively asserted that I had done it myself. He pointed to scratches on the undercarriage, claiming they were evidence of a wreck, completely ignoring my explanations and the condition of the opposite side, which showed no damage. His demeanor quickly escalated; he began berating me and yelling. For my safety, I started recording to document the interaction. As tension rose, I told him that he was being unreasonable. He then said I was banned from Kia and dismissed any concerns I had about my warranty claim, insisting it was “my problem now.” His face was inches from mine when he yelled at me to leave, which made me feel threatened. I walked to the parking lot to call Kia of America for assistance, and he continued to shout threats regarding trespassing. To my dismay, after this encounter, I received paperwork indicating that my warranty claim for the headlight was denied due to the same scratch they initially mentioned—on the right side—and the fact that I had considered seeking legal advice because of the treatment I received. The behavior exhibited by this head service manager reflects poorly on the entire Courage Kia dealership. I’ve never experienced such unprofessional behavior at any business, especially early in the morning when I was seeking assistance. I strongly advise potential customers to avoid Courage Kia if you value respectful and courteous service—it’s simply not worth the stress. More

They sold us a car without telling us they did not have the title. They sold us a car that was not clean but promised to get it to the standards of the 160 point checking system Kia promises. After selling the title. They sold us a car that was not clean but promised to get it to the standards of the 160 point checking system Kia promises. After selling us the car, they did not give us any selling paperwork. We went times to get it. They said the system was down and no word on the title yet. They finally said the car had been properly inspected and no issues were found. Well, we found several. Headlight cover severely scratched, paint chipped and a huge chunk of paint off of the hood, door handle on passenger side would not lock wby pushing the button on the handle. We were promised that these would be corrected.The 1st time we took it in, they kept it 10 days without giving us a loaner car and I had to call and find out they just hadn't gotten to it yet.No word on when it would be ready. When we did pick up the car and it appeared that it had been driven over 100 miles. Since I didn't take a picture of the odometer, I said nothing. The next time one of the 2 paint jobs were done. They advised that because a pinstripe was involved in the other, the awful toichuo would have to do. The 2nd time they had it for service it had 123 miles to empty. When we picked up the car 7 days later, it indicated less than 30, get gas on the panel. They will not fix the other items promised. They texted to say the handle had come in and to schedule an appointment. I called that day. Set an appointment for the next Wednesday and asked how long they'd have it so we could make car arrangements. I was told they'd get back to me that afternoon. The day before the scheduled appointment, I texted that we were canceling because we had not received a call about the time for the repair. They then said it would only take a few hours, but I had already made an appointment with another places to get it fixed and will.not be using or recommending anybody to use Courage Kia. More

Do not! Do not deal with this dealership if it comes to maintenance or anything recall related. Went to have an engine replacement done due to a catalytic co Do not deal with this dealership if it comes to maintenance or anything recall related. Went to have an engine replacement done due to a catalytic converter problem. Metal shavings in the exhaust. Even though the recall for that year Kia was for an engine rod bearing hole had been wrongly bored. But if it didn't have that problem. Where does the metal shavings come from? They agreed to let us have the catalytic converter replaced so our car could pass inspection. Even went so far as to price match another dealership because they overprice their part. 1800 dollars for a cat at courage...1500 dollars from another. Not to mention the second dealership went as far as saying they could get one for 800. Ummm...that wasn't mentioned at this dealership? No it was after all going to be their quote of 3800 for the cat, sensors (which didn't need to be done) and that wasn't including labor. So anyways....we did the work ourselves, even when promised by this dealership that it wouldn't affect the recall process. Oh and not to mention everyone that agreed to that got canned. Got rid of the check engine light ...so they come back with" Well if the check engine light isn't on then they won't touch it and the engine won't be replaced. Not to mention that when we got the light to go off we decided unfortunately to have them to do one of their free inspections for all NC Kias. We go up there. Asked for an inspection...they didn't ask for the registration right off as any other garage would. An hour later we find out we don't have any tail lights. They claim that would be a 200 dollar fix. Um ..excuse me for light bulbs? 16 dollar light bulbs at an AutoZone. Let's not forget that I live so close to this dealership that my engine can't even reach proper operating temperature and I did a walk around my car to make sure all the lights, horn, and everything was working beforehand. So they're telling me within a minute drive that my taillights went out? Sure. This dealership is full of xxxx mechanics that'll basically vandalize your car to make a buck ..several thousand if you're not lucky. Staff is rude and dismissive, and don't really like to be called out on their xx. I was kicked out when I was showing my disdain for the way I've been treated over my visits. I repeat...do not deal with this dealership...xxxx not only with maintenance. I wouldn't even buy a car from them. More

Do not shop at this dealership. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought here.

They promised free oil changes and when I went in for the first one they denied that I got free oil changes with my new car. The only reason I gave this dealership 2 stars was because the service guys were very nice and did do 1 free but said there would not be any more. Also I was told I got the best interest rate they had but came home and that same day saw an ad on TV with an interest rate 1 percent less than what I got. If they are talking they are lying! More
