I’m leaving this review only because of how disrespectful - krishnakiran66
I’m leaving this review only because of how disrespectful and dishonest the communication was at this dealership.
I came to this dealer for a simple oil change on my Kia Niro and ended up dealing with constant miscommunication and zero accountability. After the service, I saw an extra “shop charge” added. When I asked what it was and why it wasn’t mentioned up front, the advisor Emma Pizzola from the service department just called it a “standard fee” that “every service place will charge.” But when I pushed back and asked why it wasn’t disclosed earlier, suddenly she was able to remove/discount it. If it’s truly a mandatory, standard fee, it shouldn’t disappear the moment a customer questions it.
After I declined the long list of extra “recommended” services costing 1500$+, it felt like my questions no longer mattered. The focus shifted to “just come and pick up the car” instead of clearly answering anything. I have screenshots clearly showing the shop charge, her “standard fee” explanation, and then her changing it once I challenged it.
On top of that, she booked an Uber without my clear approval and later tried to blame me, even though the screenshots clearly show I only said “yes” to confirming my location (Starbucks), not to “yes, book the Uber now.” She also ignored my direct question about resetting the service light for a long time and only confirmed it much later, after multiple messages from me.
The worst part was the Jeremy Patrick manager’s phone call. He sounds bossy and was like backing up Emma. Instead of listening, he immediately took the employee’s side, talked over me, raised his voice, and made it clear he didn’t care whether I ever came back as a customer. He says whatever she spoke was perfect and it was me who did the mistake. There was no attempt to understand my side or even acknowledge the miscommunication that’s obvious in the texts. The attitude was basically: “We’re done here, just come get your car and get lost ASAP,” with a clear sense that I was disposable because they have plenty of other customers. Later when I went to pick up the car, he was basically showing off that he is a big guy and can threaten me off, so I chose not to speak to him and left the place.
This isn’t about a free Uber or a few extra dollars in fees — it’s about basic respect and honest communication. Based on my experience, I will never return to this dealership. If you do go here, get every fee and action clearly confirmed in writing, because if something goes wrong, they will stand by their staff and not by the customer.
