Service manager Steve was very unprofessional. Took my Kia there for engine problems and he implied after having discussion about a blown engine that he didn't know what I had done with my car bec Took my Kia there for engine problems and he implied after having discussion about a blown engine that he didn't know what I had done with my car because they hadn't seen it in the last 30,000 miles. The Kia Soul had been having oil issues since 101,000 miles. Engine wasn't covered under the Kia settlement because it wasn't a rod bearing issue.The vehicle is undriveable at 139 thousand miles.Car couldn't get from one oil change to the next without adding 1 to 2 quarts of oil.All my maintenance has been done when needed and oil changes.Last time I checked an engine is what makes the vehicle run.They also tried to collect almost $200 that was never discussed prior to being done before they would release it to a tow truck driver.I would not recommend this repair shop or buying anything Kia. Also when the oil issues first started I was promised a engine replacement by a higher up there named James which was missing in action when the vehicle was brought in.Will never own another kia.

Took my daughter to get her first car on her own! Sent her while I was a work to test drive. She said Nate, Darren, and Jeff were so nice to her. She felt so comfortable, all her questions were answe Sent her while I was a work to test drive. She said Nate, Darren, and Jeff were so nice to her. She felt so comfortable, all her questions were answered and she didn't feel pressure to make a choice. Later I joined to view car and paperwork. I was greeted as I entered and pass any of the staff! Thank you for the amazing experience with my daughter's first grown up purchase on her own. I will be sending everyone I know your way for a new Kia. My daughter loves the car too! Thank you again Nate, Darren, Jeff and the entire HW Kia team! More
I financed a Kia k5 here and it was supposed to be brand new. It had some damage in the undercarriage, and when I went to go to have it fixed there, they took my car back from me and told me the financing w new. It had some damage in the undercarriage, and when I went to go to have it fixed there, they took my car back from me and told me the financing went through after they had already signed the pink slip over to me basically, I would never ever go there or recommend anyone go there. It’s a scam. Also, they have a separate department for the people who call in from the black radio stations. They asked me if I was referred by the black radio station. They didn’t use those words but I don’t remember the name of the station or was it something else and I lied and said it was something else who I called in through because I could tell they were already trying to discriminate And not take care of people they called him from the black radio station. So I would never recommend this. More
I had a confirmed appointment for a test drive at this dealership. It was confirmed in person *and* via automated text. I am prepared to buy right now. I showed up 5 minutes early and was ignored for 15 m dealership. It was confirmed in person *and* via automated text. I am prepared to buy right now. I showed up 5 minutes early and was ignored for 15 minutes. Sales person (young woman) finally shows up, tells me the car sold. No one informed me, despite the fact I had a confirmed appointment, they had my contact info, and I arranged my entire day around THEM. No real apology or effort to seek my business. Believe me, I will NOT RETURN. More
One of the best new car purchases ever. Ryan and Nick are both knowledgable and helped us pick out the perfect car for our son. Total professionals. Follow up is spot on!

11/14/2022 car is still at HW Kia! 102 days since the problem started. I was told my car would be ready on 11/11 but they didn't get to it. Same situation today. If more than 100 days 102 days since the problem started. I was told my car would be ready on 11/11 but they didn't get to it. Same situation today. If more than 100 days in service does not make it a priority, then what does? The GM, Jeff Martin is WORTHLESS.i have contacted him 3 times. The second time he said he would look into it and follow up on Friday but of course he never did. This is exactly the type of service you should expect if you buy or service your vehicle at HW Kia. You've been warned... 11/4/22 update: since leaving a 1 star review, HW Kia is much more responsive. (Who knew a Google review had so much power?) James is my new service advisor and communication has improved significantly. Although the problem has not yet been solved, they have done more in the last week than in the past 80+ days to try to find a solution. I am hopeful they will find a solution and I will continue to update this review. 10/26/22. Nothing but problems with my 2021 Kia. Has been at HW Kia for 77 days since March this year. I always have to call the dealership for an update. They seldom, if ever, call me. Been dealing with the same problem since August 4 and still do not have my car back. My service adviser says he will do something but then hardly ever follows through. Lots of empty promises. Parts ordered but never installed. Definitely will be the last Kia I buy! More
Poor customer Service! We bought a car 40 days ago and still have not fixed the problems. The emissions was expired and then the sales manager Nick that sold us the car was We bought a car 40 days ago and still have not fixed the problems. The emissions was expired and then the sales manager Nick that sold us the car was not helpful at all and rude about not helping us. We had to wait there over an hour with a 5 month baby! It’s past 30 days to get our plates done. So late fees now for us to pay and not even an offer to cover this cost either. It’s been a real sh;t show. More
