My experience with Schaumburg Kia has been nothing but - Porschegoog
My experience with Schaumburg Kia has been nothing but problematic and disappointing for the 3rd time in a row. I myself am an automotive technician at another dealer and completely surprised by the level of incompetence and failures at this dealer. I’ll be sure to never return or recommend this dealer.
I had dropped my car off overnight at the old location, was never made aware of the new location when I scheduled my appointment. I was told the car was finished. This is when the problems started. I had brought my car in for a transmission issue and some lights on. The lights were diagnosed however, I was charged an hour diagnosis for practically a code scan. This is the Third time in for the transmission issues. They said it could not be replicated; there was no offer to do a customer drive or inspect further. As this call was less then a few hours after I was told the car was checked in. The disappointment came because I have been here before with the same advisor and replicated the issue twice with different technicians on 2 separate occasions. There was nothing that could be done at that time, however the issue has gotten worse since. To add more insult to injury when I got my receipt, the mileage was the same. Leading me to believe this issue was never looked at all. Considering I paid nearly $200 for an hour of diagnosis, I’m sure this should have been looked at further. I paid and called to authorize overnight pick up. I was told it was ok and the key would be in a secure location. When I showed up to the dealer, old location, nobody was there however all the service department door were open, I looked for over 30 minutes over the entire property for my car. I even called 5 different associated number. Luckily I saw a couple employees from the Honda dealer next door who was helping me in finding out about the new location. When I had got to the new location I found my car locked, with no key in sight. I did see a finance manager locking the gates. I had asked if he could help me get my car. He said he doesn’t know there the keys are and couldn’t help me. He himself couldn’t even lock the gates because the lock was locked and he didn’t know where the key was kept. If this alone doesn’t paint the picture of the communication and management of this dealership I don’t know what does. I then called the next morning 2 times with no answer so I then called the main line to the service department. They shuttled me to the dealer and I was able to get my car. I was over 3 and 1/2 hours late to work because of this dealer’s incompetence. I’ve lost money from missed work and had to make up the lost time somehow. What a complete mess and disappointing experience. If there was any communication I would had not been late and missed my jobs expectations. I didn’t think It would be that hard for this dealer to meet theirs.
