My wife and I bought a used CRV from Luther Kia of Bloomington in November 2024. All of the staff we worked with the day we bought it were pleasant and there was no pressure. Unfortunately, our experi Bloomington in November 2024. All of the staff we worked with the day we bought it were pleasant and there was no pressure. Unfortunately, our experience after that day has not gone well. On the way home from the dealership we noticed a howling noise at highway speeds that we didn’t notice during the test drive. We took the vehicle to our mechanic the following day and learned there was a wheel bearing that needed replacing and the U-joints were in poor condition, so the drive shaft also needed replacing. We called the dealership that same day to tell them what was found and to see what could be done. We spoke to the Used Car Sales Manager who blamed us for not noticing the issue during the test drive. One of his comments was, “What did you expect, you bought a car with 100k miles on it.” What we had expected was better customer service and the dealership to stand by their service and inspection of the vehicle prior to sale. Had we known we would need to invest $2000 of repairs into the car immediately after purchase, we would have looked at something else. The used car manager said we could bring the car back to the dealership to be looked at but they wouldn't fix anything they didn’t deem to be a safety issue. Since there was no guarantee we would get anything from the dealership if we brought it there, we had mechanic do the repairs instead. We then reached out to the general manager of the dealership expressing our disappointment with the used car manager and asked what could be done to resolve our issue. After some back and forth and his review of the invoice from our mechanic, he agreed to meet us halfway on the repair costs and said they would be sending us a check. That was in mid-December. It is now March and we still haven’t received any reimbursement. We have reached out to the general manager multiple times and he is not responding. This has been a poor experience that could have been handled so much better. We will not be buying from Luther again. More

I am still working with them on another thing and I've had a great experience so far with different departments a of the Luther group in general. I absolutely love my new driver seat that was redone! It matches the other factory seats and it looks and feels really good. The quality, craftsmanship, and assembly of the seat is absolutely superb! I've never in my life have been this excited about any seat! I can genuinely feel and my experience thus far have only been great with an emphasis on making sure I am satisfied. More

Do not try to trade your vehicle in at Kia Bloomington and do not work with Brandon Schilinz. My vehicle was estimated at $9,500 on Kelly Blue Book. When the dealership looked at the vehicle they claimed and do not work with Brandon Schilinz. My vehicle was estimated at $9,500 on Kelly Blue Book. When the dealership looked at the vehicle they claimed that the check engine light was on. They proceeded to offer me $4,000 for trade in because it would cost “so much to fix”, even though they admitted that they were just going to send the vehicle to auction. Prior to arriving at the dealership there were no lights on and no issues. We tried to negotiate the price, but they wouldn’t budge. We ended up walking away from the deal. Upon getting into my vehicle to leave there was not check engine light on. The dealership is a sham and was lying to try and take advantage of us. Brandon Schilinz is the used car manager we were working with and had awful customer service skills. I do not recommend this dealership and employee at all. More

Between myself, my wife, our son, daughter in law, my niece and a couple clients we have purchased or leased 13 New Kia's! I have had the pleasure of working with Dave Ramy, Dan Dingmann, David Burns and Jon in sales on all of these deals. I could not have asked for better communication, trade in values for our existing cars or way we were treated by Dave Ramy and the dealership. I have the utmost respect for Dave Ramy as he has gone above and beyond to take care of us. As long as Dave Ramey and Dan Dingmann are running this dealership no one else will get our business! Thanks again Dave Ramy for what you have done for myself and our family! More
