I am beyond frustrated with the service department at Future Kia of Clovis. While I understand that complex repairs—especially EV battery replacements—take time and internal approvals, the complete lack of communication and professional follow-through is unacceptable.
We dropped our EV off on Monday, March 23rd, for a diagnosis. We were promised an update by Tuesday; we didn't hear anything until Wednesday. Once the diagnosis confirmed a full battery replacement was needed, the lack of transparency became a recurring theme:
Wednesday: The agent stated he needed manager approval within two hours. No call back.
Thursday: I had to initiate the call. I was told they now needed "Kia Engineer approval" and would have an answer by Friday. No call back.
