Hey Danny- I was surprised to find your review. I think that the last thing I asked you for when you were messaging was for you to let me know if you needed any thing and I would be glad to be your advocate here in the store. Your contact with our service department must have gone bad at some point, for that I apologize. I would have been glad to help had I known. The extent of our contact was my responses to your FB posts, and after your last contact you seemed ok. Please call me at 361-992-4542 or message me on our facebook or my personal FB page. I did speak with the service staff and let them know about our conversation. I know you used a warranty we do not typically deal with and because of this it was taking a bit to get the work approved on your vehicle. I actually would like to sit down across from you to see how I can help you and prevent any further problems of this nature in our service department. Come by or call me, I am always here. Please let me know what transpired so I can help. Robert Morris, Internet Director/CRM Mike Shaw Kia

Robert, Sorry to say I didn't bother wasting my time reading this response of yours. The fact remains that I dropped the car off Monday and it is now Friday. Again, my history with Mike Shaw over the years has taught me to expect nothing but lackadaisical, slow, and unfulfilling service. This is not a one time occurence. If you'd like to talk to me, then you can do so when the work is DONE and I am FINALLY able to pick up my vehicle. I'd be happy to sit across and see what you think you can do! You are very good at talking to dissatisfied customers, I can only assume that is due to A LOT of experience with them. Of which I am not surprised. I was once offered a job at your very store due to my extensive knowledge of car parts and high sales at my other job. I declined the job even though it paid more money, because it was clear that myself and Mike Shaw Kia have different standards of integrity what a job well done is. You will know sooner than I when we can talk. I suggest you get with your mechanics and Camilla to see how soon that may be.

Daniel- I can tell you are upset. Honestly , I am just trying to help. Im the Internet Director, not a service rep, I am not paid for contacting you, I am not compensated in any capacity for trying to help. You will not see any of this in my job description. I just saw your facebook post. I thought I could reach you and at the very least explain what was going on and talk to the service dept for you. I actually like to help people. I noticed you implied that I had a lot of experience helping people, yes I do. Before I did this I ran a non-profit to help people memory loss called the Alzheimer's Association, I was the youngest executive director in the history of the non profit. Previous to that I ran another for youth that have cognitive and physical deficits. So, I guess you could say that helping people is something I have some experience with. I am proud of what I did there just like I am proud of what I do now. I am good at helping people, and it makes me happy when I can solve their problems. I saw you picked up your vehicle earlier today, I wish you would have stopped by my office. I spoke with service and they mentioned that you picked up without any issue, so that is good. Typically frustration (like what I sense in your review and response) is a byproduct of poor communication . As you can see from my extensive response, this typically is not an issue for me. I will message you the rest privately, I do not want this to be a back and forth. Usually no one wins, and nothing is resolved but airing your bad feelings in a public forum. I would prefer to find where the breakdown in communication was or if it was just failure to set an appropriate expectation. I would like to address your issues. Call me if you have questions, you have my contact info and you know how to message me on facebook, or you can just call me- whatever is best for you. RM

Thanks again for sharing your views with us and allowing us to address your concerns. I know that when you have a vehicle repaired it is a drag waiting for parts and the work to be done. RM

Hi Clay- Thanks for entrusting your daughter to us for service, Sorry to hear that your daughter had a bad experience in our service department. You are correct, Camilla sells service, but only what is recommended by the manufacturer or a technician after a 106 point inspection of your vehicle and then approved by you. Often what is recommended will save you money in the long run (oil changes vs replacing an engine) or keep you safe. Recommended tire rotation intervals are 6k miles. Our records and your daughter indicated that the tires have not been rotated since the car was purchased at 34k and it was at 46k (12k diiff) when it came into service, the tires were 2x the recommended service interval over for a rotation (but this is your choice). This could cause issues with control, cupping, uneven wear etc. Most problems resulting from this are safety related or will end in the purchase of at least 2 more tires. That being said, you are our valued customer and I will be happy to provide you with a certificate for a free rotate (and balance) just so you know we mean well. Please come by the store, I have printed it for you and it is in my top left hand drawer. Use it on any car or truck you or your family owns that may need service. Thank you for using our dealership, I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Mike Shaw Kia responded

Thanks for your feedback. I would like to discuss your input regarding our dealership and how you were treated. The rental company we use is Enterprise and the rental policy is dictated by them. If your warranty covers a rental car, then there is no charge unless the vehicle is returned outside the provided coverage. A written contract is provided to renters when they sign and agree to the terms. . I apologize if there was a misunderstanding during the explanation of your contract or in the courtesy call provided to remind you about the fuel charge. There is never a fuel surcharge if the rented vehicle is returned with a full tank as agreed. Please feel free to contact me if I can help you in any way, Robert Morris 361-992-4542
