Crain Kia of Bentonville

Crooks and liars I have made the mistake from purchasing a car from these clowns . My Optima is 6 months old and been in their hands for 30 days now . The ac does not I have made the mistake from purchasing a car from these clowns . My Optima is 6 months old and been in their hands for 30 days now . The ac does not work . The Kia products are so crappy even their master certified mechanics can't fix them . I owe a lot of money for a car that's been taken apart that no one understands. They said I could trade it in sure if I want to loose 4 grand and pay sales tax again . More

No Customer Assitance My husband and I purchased a new 2013 Kia Optima in 2014. The A.C compressor went out in May 2016- it was covered under warranty. In April of this My husband and I purchased a new 2013 Kia Optima in 2014. The A.C compressor went out in May 2016- it was covered under warranty. In April of this year, my A.C started working only part- time. I called Fletcher KIA in Bentonville, AR (where it was purchased) and no one returned my call. I waited a few days (at this time my A.C was working again) they told me it had to be not working in order for me to bring it in. When it finally went out for good, I was 17 days past warranty. But I had called numerous times prior to the warranty being expired. We have been getting the run around ever since. Fletcher told me to contact Consumer Affairs and no one will return my call. We have been leaving messages and pleading for someone to talk to us since the case was opened May, 24, 2017. My compressor shouldn't go out every year. And if they would have looked at it when I first called, it would've been covered. We ended up paying $626.00 which is a drop in the bucket for KIA but not so easy for us. I am disappointed that KIA would chose to lose business over this. I don't want or expect anything for free but I am a firm believer that what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. This is wrong. More

Huge Lack of Integrity After purchasing a used vehicle from the Honda side in order to build my credit, I come back one year later to get out of it as they had promised me w After purchasing a used vehicle from the Honda side in order to build my credit, I come back one year later to get out of it as they had promised me would happen just to find out, its not. After dealing with the GM of both the Honda and Kia side along with multiple calls to the corporate office and them telling me that they are going to fix the issue and get me into a car that I am happy with, I find myself stuck with the car that was sold to me wrecked (front bumper broke in half and core support cracked in 3 places), high mileage and interest rate of 24%. $6500 financed is turning into $17k in the end, if I pay it out. This dealership clearly only cares about the "guaranteed customers" and enjoys screwing over the rest. The worst experience ever when it comes to anything I have purchased and I have promised them that I will never do business with them again. More

Worst customer service ever My husband and I purchased a used 09 chevy traverse about two months ago. Since then we have had nothing but problems with the car and kia. To start i My husband and I purchased a used 09 chevy traverse about two months ago. Since then we have had nothing but problems with the car and kia. To start it off after purchasing the car we had two horrible tires and nothing on the windshield wipers. We spent close to 600 to pay for this. Just to find out the next day the car never went through inspection. After bringing up the tires and windshield wipers with our receipt the dealership says there is nothing they will do to reimburse us. I asked them to show me a car on their lot that had crappy tires and wipers and of course this couldn't be done. We were also given a second key fob that for did not have a battery in it and two was burnt up. Of course we don't find this out until my keys got locked in the car and I'm paying to get it unlocked. They reimburse this by giving us a gas card. After long harsh words exchanged we now have white smoke blowing out of the car, the passenger back window won't roll down, and the brakes squeak horribly. Now kia refuses to help what do ever saying we were offered a warranty and refused when we were never offered one. Every one turns and walks the other way when we enter because no one has answers for their mistakes. Mind you the financial service guy I spoke with and the sales man no longer work there. I wonder why? I guess even when the general manager calls doug (the financial man) an idiot you figure out everyone up there is out to cover their own xxx. We are now getting a lawyer involved. More

Disaster waiting to happen Had issue with Kia while on vacation. Fletcher worked on the car to replace a sensor, In addition, multiple other items were suggested that supposedly Had issue with Kia while on vacation. Fletcher worked on the car to replace a sensor, In addition, multiple other items were suggested that supposedly needed to be done. Most of which did not need to be done or were already scheduled to be done back home. I did have the sensor and the brake fluid replaced because it was supposedly bad. I now question whether the brake fluid needed to be done or not, since I had just had all of the brakes replaced on the car 6 months earlier and no one mentioned a brake fluid issue. We were told on at least 2 occasions that the car would be ready by a certain time, each time we showed up, it was not completed, always some new issue and we were always told that they had tried to reach us, but we never received any calls and every time they made a test call to us the phone rang. Finally we were told the car would be ready by a certain time, but this time I received a call telling me the radiator needed to be replaced, it had been damaged while doing the other work on the car. We picked up the car and noticed a leak as soon as we got back to our hotel, 45 miles form the dealership. We checked what we could and drove the car 200 miles back home. Once home, I had some type of fluid all over the car and all over my driveway. I took the car to my local mechanic to determine what was leaking. When the radiator was replaced, the service dept. failed to tighten the lines from the radiator to the transmission. Transmission fluid was being pumped out all over everything, Cost me an additional $90.00 to repair the mistakes Frank Fletcher service had made in addition to the cost of services already done. I hope my transmission doesn't fail prematurely. If it does, I will definitely know why. I wouldn't recommend having any service work done at this dealership. Based on my experience, they don't seem to have a clue as to what they are doing. More

I had two filters changed and fuel line flushed out. I timed it and it took less than 30 minutes to do, they charged me $123.00 for labor, and the parts were $100.00. I got prices at auto zone for the par timed it and it took less than 30 minutes to do, they charged me $123.00 for labor, and the parts were $100.00. I got prices at auto zone for the parts and I wasn't as unhappy with that as I was the labor charge. I will no be back to have any simple things like that done ever again. More

I have no complaints with the vehicle we purchased. However, the level of customer service and general competency has been very disappointing. Our first indication that there might be a problem was th However, the level of customer service and general competency has been very disappointing. Our first indication that there might be a problem was that 3 of the 4 people we have worked with at the dealership said they had just started this job, some were within their first week. After our experience, I suspect there is a high turnover of employees in this dealership. We were also treated with a condescending attitude by the person who processed the sale. Honestly, I left the dealership feeling that it was a "shady" business and I might need to keep an eye on our credit score! More
