The service department at this dealership is so shady! I took the car in for rattling noises coming from the tailgate. They charged me for parts and labor, but the noise continued. The service advisor sai More

I’m sorry you left with this impression and that you’re still dealing with a rattle. I want to be very clear: we do not scam our customers, and we take these kinds of accusations seriously. When you brought your car in last December, our technicians diagnosed the issue and replaced the part that was causing the problem at that time. Since then, you hadn’t reached out about any ongoing issues until now, six months later. Even so, we’re committed to standing behind our work and taking care of our customers. That’s why we’ve already offered to diagnose your vehicle again at no charge, to figure out what’s going on—whether it’s related to the original repair or something new. We have nothing to hide, and we always want customers to feel they’ve been treated honestly and fairly. If you’d like to set up a time to bring your car in, please let us know. We’ll do our best to get to the bottom of this for you. ~ Will Routon, General Manager @ Foundation Kia

Thank you for your reply, Will. You're. mistaken, though. The panel that your dealership charged me nearly $700 to replace did not fix either of the two noises for which I brought in the car. When I returned minutes after driving away the first time, the service advisor, Jeff, suddenly realized how to fix one of the noises: he simply lifted the tailgate and turned a small bumper on each side. One would think he could have tried that before replacing the panel. I drove away a second time and returned again, because the other noise persisted. Jeff then told me the new panel just needed time to settle in and that after a few days the noise would go away.... So, foolishly trusting him, I drove away. My mother then passed away on December 17, 2024, the day after I picked up the car from Foundation. I left town for several weeks to be with my elderly father. I've been back to see him every 4-6 weeks since then. So, you are correct, I didn't follow up because I simply didn't have the bandwidth to deal with the terrible service Foundation Kia provided. I imagine Jeff did not include in his notes how many times I called and texted and never got a response from him? Or how long I had to wait for the car after it was supposedly ready? Or that I returned twice because the noises were not fixed? Or that I was wondering what exactly I had paid for when they weren't fixed? Or that he just told me to call 1-800-333-4542 if I had an issue with paying for something that didn't resolve the presenting problem?

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Foundation Kia in Wheat Ridge today thanks to John Taylor. The service I received was far beyond anything I’ve ever expected from even the best service providers. J More

Worst service department in the industry. They do not back their work and have zero integrity. If they break your car during the service, they take no responsibility and had the audacity to More

Purchase was fine. Now that we need warranty service for the battery, they offered us an appointment 25 days away. Unacceptable. Buy your car somewhere else. More
