was sold a used car from Courage KIA. They said everything was checked out on the car. After I signed the contract, I took the car to my mechanic, and he discovered that the whole underca They said everything was checked out on the car. After I signed the contract, I took the car to my mechanic, and he discovered that the whole undercarriage was rusted. The muffler, the shock absorbers, the rotators. He said it had been in water somewhere and that the car was going to need a lot of money to fix. Plus, he said they did not service the car before they sold it to me or they would have known this and were obligated to disclose this to me, which they did not. He also said the coolant wasn't filled, the oil was dirty and a part of the engine was not secured. I went right back and told them I didn't want the car and they said too bad I signed the contract. I need a car because the car they sold me last June needed repairs that costs me hundreds of dollars until it finally blew a gasket. So, this is the second time I have had to deal with them! I am a 63 year old woman who lives on disability. They took advantage of me and I want them investigated for bad business practices and I want my money back which they refuse to do! Please help me!! People need to know what kind of dealership this is! Now I am out $9,000 dollars and stuck with a car that needs hundreds of dollars in repairs! More

They sold us a car without telling us they did not have the title. They sold us a car that was not clean but promised to get it to the standards of the 160 point checking system Kia promises. After selling the title. They sold us a car that was not clean but promised to get it to the standards of the 160 point checking system Kia promises. After selling us the car, they did not give us any selling paperwork. We went times to get it. They said the system was down and no word on the title yet. They finally said the car had been properly inspected and no issues were found. Well, we found several. Headlight cover severely scratched, paint chipped and a huge chunk of paint off of the hood, door handle on passenger side would not lock wby pushing the button on the handle. We were promised that these would be corrected.The 1st time we took it in, they kept it 10 days without giving us a loaner car and I had to call and find out they just hadn't gotten to it yet.No word on when it would be ready. When we did pick up the car and it appeared that it had been driven over 100 miles. Since I didn't take a picture of the odometer, I said nothing. The next time one of the 2 paint jobs were done. They advised that because a pinstripe was involved in the other, the awful toichuo would have to do. The 2nd time they had it for service it had 123 miles to empty. When we picked up the car 7 days later, it indicated less than 30, get gas on the panel. They will not fix the other items promised. They texted to say the handle had come in and to schedule an appointment. I called that day. Set an appointment for the next Wednesday and asked how long they'd have it so we could make car arrangements. I was told they'd get back to me that afternoon. The day before the scheduled appointment, I texted that we were canceling because we had not received a call about the time for the repair. They then said it would only take a few hours, but I had already made an appointment with another places to get it fixed and will.not be using or recommending anybody to use Courage Kia. More

Dishonest Dealership Aug 2019 - Kia of Gastonia employs dishonest and non-ethical methods to sell cars. My wife and called ahead and negotiated the final "out-the-door" Aug 2019 - Kia of Gastonia employs dishonest and non-ethical methods to sell cars. My wife and called ahead and negotiated the final "out-the-door" sales price of a new Telluride listed on their website. Because of our long drive, we wanted to ensure we knew what we would be spending. Shortly after we arrived the paperwork was presented with the same sales price we agreed to over the phone. Everything "seemed" to be in order. We then waited over an hour to finalize the sale with the “Finance Manager”. Once he finally sat down with us, he presented a hand-written cost work-up that was over $1000 more than what we agreed-to both over the phone and when we first arrived. Disgusted and weary, we left extremely disappointed. These are dishonest people who feel no shame for leading people on and wasting significant amount of customers' time. Avoid at all costs. More

Very Bad! Probably needs to be shut down! Wow, where do I begin? After being there almost an hour I was allowed to go see the car I was interested in. My husband asked the sales person what t Wow, where do I begin? After being there almost an hour I was allowed to go see the car I was interested in. My husband asked the sales person what the gas mileage was and he told us the wrong answer. After my husband corrected him he said he just started there. After we took it for a test drive we were left in a room with many tables and chairs. This is where you talk numbers, give personal information and so on. I could hear personal information being given from everyone else in the room so of course they could hear mine. Not good! Secondly, left sitting at our table was a piece of paper with some ones info on it. I did not see a social but it did have a name, education, yearly salary, etc. Once again, not good and I do believe very illegal. After we told the guys that we had to leave many times I mentioned that paper on the table. All of a sudden they got us out fast. That told me a lot! Very unprofessional! Very sad! I love the car and would have bought under different terms. Instead I have a new Honda which I love! My suggestion to any one looking... Run! My suggestion to Kia... You have nice cars so get it together professionally before you get shut down! More
