Southside Kia

horrible I took my 2017 Optima in because I was getting a low tire pressure warning and I hade less than 2000 miles on it. the person who took care of me ( or I took my 2017 Optima in because I was getting a low tire pressure warning and I hade less than 2000 miles on it. the person who took care of me ( or was supposed to anyway) never even turned around to address me instead waiting t=for me to walk around to her front. I explained what the problem was and told her I would like to get it checked out. I waited over an hour and saw my car was brought back to where they drop off finished cars and watched her walk right past me on her way someplace ( break I surmise) . when she finally came back I waited a bit then walked over to her to ask about my car and if it was finished. She then looked out at my car and walked me out to it telling me that all four tires were indeed under inflated and they put air back in to 35 Lbs. ( recommended is 34 Lbs ) not even a thank you or anything. about a week later I took my car back in for an oil change ( the first since it only has 2100 miles on it) and I felt as if I was wearing camouflaged clothes. I stood at the service desk after having waited in my car for someone to come out to me and again the service manager never even looked up at me. I went back outside and talked with Cookie who I worked with when I sold cars for Kia and told her everyone just ignored me when I went into service. ( yes I did sell Kia's and was pretty good at it as well). She was going to intervene for me but I asked her not to and just then one of the service people came out and asked if I was there for service. I told him yes and he went about his business taking care of the car behind me. I asked him about how long an oil change would take ( keep in mind I was the only one in the service lane waiting when I pulled in) and he said one or two hours. not exactly what could be determined fast by any means. Why would the people who work in the service department try to ruin the experience of buying a Kia? I would like to give the names of people I king of dealt with but no one offered their name....

Excellent sales service from Firas Hammami Had a 22 yr. old Toyota and wanted a newer car...wasn't necessarily looking for a 2018....met with Firas Hammami...looked at several cars. Test drove Had a 22 yr. old Toyota and wanted a newer car...wasn't necessarily looking for a 2018....met with Firas Hammami...looked at several cars. Test drove a"new" 2017 Forte and loved it....it was the end of their "Black Friday" sale Nov 30th, and after negotiating with Firas and the sales manager I was able to get an excellent deal including an extra $400 off for being a veteran....Firas was pleasant, professional, and knowledgable, resulting in an excellent sales experience...we'll see how it goes with the service after I have taken it in once or twice in the future.

Salesmen not interested. We lost a Kia Soul in hurricane Irma. My husband loved this car. He went to Southside, drove onto the lot, had to call to a group of salesmen to get We lost a Kia Soul in hurricane Irma. My husband loved this car. He went to Southside, drove onto the lot, had to call to a group of salesmen to get any attention. Salesman did come over to him but stood in place and waved to various cars my husband asked about. The salesman showed absolutely no interest in helping out or making a sale. Very disappointed in this encounter. Went to Lucas Honda and bought 2 cars. More

Check out class action law suit for not honoring warranty Read Forbes article on the class action law suit against Kia. Kia won't honor their warranty. Even after the law suit they are still not honoring th Read Forbes article on the class action law suit against Kia. Kia won't honor their warranty. Even after the law suit they are still not honoring their warranty. There are at least 2 Kia Optima's on their lot right now that have sludge caused by, "The problem is that metal debris wasn’t removed from the engine during manufacturing and that debris can clog oil passages, leading to engine failure." Even when you turn in proof of maintenance they still don't honor their warranty. They don't return calls. They don't keep records. They don't turn in the records you give them. Buyer Beware. More

Too long of wait for a scheduled and pre paid appointment 10:45a.m. I arrived for my scheduled pre paid appointment for oil change and broke ac vent handle to be looked at. Got keys at 3:30p.m. Half car wash 10:45a.m. I arrived for my scheduled pre paid appointment for oil change and broke ac vent handle to be looked at. Got keys at 3:30p.m. Half car wash and no vacuum what so ever. Ac handle not fixed. Many people came n left for different problems and also oil change same as me . No free snacks but written that they do. No communication until 10mins before I received my keys the worst ever pre paid visit. One star for half a car wash n my kid getting cookies i paid for out of their snack machine. Horrible communication when I arrived I should have gotten the option to wait that long because they told me they was overbooked after me receiving my car and calling into them when I noticed handle was never fixed. All they said was sorry thats all they can say. I asked why wasn't I told they was overbooked and giving a heads up ? Nothing was addressed but they are sorry. Sorry is for sure. I pay every month for pre paid n dont even drive my car over 3,000 miles every month maybe every three months. Pre paid maintenance service and horrible customer service. Also missed my niece softball championship and birthday celebration due the unnecessary wait.....THANKS SOUTHSIDE KIA.....DOES ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS. PREPAID CONTRACT..... More

Horrible experience I visited Southside Kia because a friend recommended this dealership . I went in spoke to a salesperson and filled out an application. Fast forward- 7 I visited Southside Kia because a friend recommended this dealership . I went in spoke to a salesperson and filled out an application. Fast forward- 7 hours later I was told that they could not help me . Yes 7 hrs later . I explained to the salesperson that Capital One was the only company that I wanted to work with . They actually sent my application to 10 companies without my consent . My credit score plummeted 53 points ! I will never visit this company again and I do not recommend anyone else visiting either!

Frustrating Experience After purchasing a brand new car, I have spent more time in the service department than behind the wheel. Not happy at all with the lack of trouble sh After purchasing a brand new car, I have spent more time in the service department than behind the wheel. Not happy at all with the lack of trouble shooting and quality control that should have taken place before this car was driven to the sales lot. More

Really uninterested in you I got a card in the mail. It said I won $25,000 and to call this number, so you think it's a scam, right? I called the number. No, it's not a scam the I got a card in the mail. It said I won $25,000 and to call this number, so you think it's a scam, right? I called the number. No, it's not a scam they promise me. They made an appointment for me with Moe. I go out of my way after work to go there, park, go inside and am greeted by a short young man with a pleasant demeanor. I show him my card and tell him I am here about this. He looks at it and says "it's expired." So I say I have an appointment with Moe.Are you sure it's expired? He said " yes, look. " and points to the card. I am embarrassed and say "oh" he looks at me like well, why are you still here? So I wait and then say " ok." And turn around and leave. No, I'll get Moe. No, are you interested in a kia (which I was) just a feeling of " you are wasting my time" Now I have gotten 4 calls from Southside kia asking about how my appointment went. Turns out it's a third party marketing company that Southside kia had hired. Worst experience ever. They really should coordinate with the company they hire because this experience was embarrassing and insulting. More
