I bought a brand new Kia Forte last November. They falsified the odometer disclosure. The car was listed on the disclosure at having 23 miles on it. It actually had 538 miles. The car was dirty a They falsified the odometer disclosure. The car was listed on the disclosure at having 23 miles on it. It actually had 538 miles. The car was dirty and not detailed. The windshield washer fluid was bone dry. The car was listed with a Crain Kia Dealership discount of almost $3,000. When I got to the dealership, the discount mysteriously disappeared. They are liars and obviously don’t care about having repeat customers. Buyers beware of this dealership! More

They sell you a car and then never fix it. The worst service department I have ever dealt with. The intake people are very rude and condescending. They never want to touch your vehicle without The worst service department I have ever dealt with. The intake people are very rude and condescending. They never want to touch your vehicle without you agreeing to pay$180 check out time. Even though my van is still under warranty and I purchase $6400 in extended warranty (they never told me a price just that it's only a "couple extra dollars a month). What a rip off. I will never buy from Crain again and I will tell everyone never buy from them!! It's been a nightmare since the purchase. They take your money and send you on your way. I have other stories about their bad service but this is the most recent! More

Rude unhelpful service department. Went for an issue with the window and all they did was try to sell me $1000 worth of tires for a car I just purchased for $30000. Returned as they in Went for an issue with the window and all they did was try to sell me $1000 worth of tires for a car I just purchased for $30000. Returned as they instructed when window problem returned and no one was available to checkout the car. They wanted me to make another appointment for intermitted problem. My husband being a technician for Dodge tried to call and he was given the same rude unhelpful service. I will never refer anyone to the people! I am thinking of trading in this vehicle. I do not want to deal with Crain and staff again! More

Where should I start come monday February the 12th they will have had my car 6 weeks . After 4 weeks they finally put a transmission in it now mind you when we took it to them the issue was when you apply will have had my car 6 weeks . After 4 weeks they finally put a transmission in it now mind you when we took it to them the issue was when you apply the brakes it was making a popping sound. Week one of it being there they couldn’t hear the sound so I drove over and duplicated it for them waited 2 more weeks they were waiting to hear from tech line. Then before they heard back from tech line I called over to see if they had heard anything and they told me I could pick up my car because nothing was wrong with it. Then I called customer service and they got with them and sent testing to them and then I needed a transmission and now Transmission is in and still making the same sounds as when first taken but now we are being told that it’s just a characteristic of the car and we’re told to come pick the car up because I’m to demand and cussed them . Now keep in mind if they want to say I’m demanding then I’ll own that because I did say I expect a call back before 6 pm but I’ve not even used a cuss word to them let alone cussed them out. Communication there sucks and has been super frustrating this entire experience. All we had asked was for them to keep us updated and what was going on and they couldn’t do that but again I was demanding for saying I expect a call before their department closed. We will be picking the car up tomorrow with the same issues as taken there for and I will never do busy there ever and I do mean ever again . None of the staff expect the exception of Jamie in finance and Ricky as sales manager don’t care including the general manager that I’ve asked to call me two different times give a two rips . I wanted to do business locally but it looks like I will take my business elsewhere from now on . I really wish this situation could have been handled differently but it seems they really don’t care.
