I bought my car here and servicing done here if I’m in town. Over 100,000 miles now! I find everyone here to be respectful, kind and very helpful! They go over everything with me and there is never any town. Over 100,000 miles now! I find everyone here to be respectful, kind and very helpful! They go over everything with me and there is never any pressure. This last service was with Chris Unterseher. He was wonderful and did an excellent job with my car! I was cold sitting in the waiting room and another sweet lady brought me a coat! Who does that?! Thank you Chris! I will be back for the next service because you have earned my business! More
Horrible customer service from their service department. I took my 2016 Sorento in to get the Theft recalls addressed and have them check a coolant leak which is covered by the new “Extended Warranty” I I took my 2016 Sorento in to get the Theft recalls addressed and have them check a coolant leak which is covered by the new “Extended Warranty” I was sent by Kia. Kia has realized after 7 years that head bolts ripping out of the block causing a Head Gasket Failure is something they actually owned and should address. Based on this, I take my vehicle in and they diagnose that there is a leaking water pump and Radiator hose. Per the letter from Kia: “If, at any time within the extended warranty period, you experience a coolant leak, coolant smell, and/or engine temperature indicator near “H” mark on the instrument panel cluster, your Authorized Kia Dealership will diagnose the cause free of charge to you. “ (Actually bolded and underlined in the letter.) So after they diagnose the water pump they proceed to tell me that I have to pay the Diagnostic fee due to the cause being the water pump and not the head gasket. I disagreed based on the clear coverage and wording from Kia above noting that the diagnosis was for a coolant leak not specifically for a head gasket. The Service Manager (Chris) dropped the charge to $70 for the diagnostic and noted in the service ticket that I refused to pay the charge and that they “will no longer continue business with customer.” This whole incident goes beyond the total lack of support and resolution to my ongoing coolant / head gasket issues I have had on my Kia Sorrento for over 2 years. If a dealership is not going to support the customer, or their manufacturer, with even the most basic of support and customer service, then I don’t think people should do business with that dealership. Similarly, if this is how one dealership in the network (George Gee) is willing to treat a customer, then you can assume the whole network will do the same. To be clear I involved the GM (Brian) of the dealership in my communication, and this was still the end result after at least twice to discuss an alternate solution or resolution path. Lessons learned. • Don’t buy a Kia…. Ever • Don’t do business with any George Gee Dealership. Which should not be an issue since they don’t want me to do business with them anyways. If a new car dealership is willing to “fire” a customer over $70, then I would be very concerned about expecting any real customer service from them. More
Dan Winters had a great attitude, energy, smile, and personality that made me feel welcomed at George Gee as a customer! He was very helpful, and kind! personality that made me feel welcomed at George Gee as a customer! He was very helpful, and kind! More
If I could give zero stars to the service department I would. My daughter started to experience some issues with her Kia in July 2023. She would be driving down the road and without warning her car woul would. My daughter started to experience some issues with her Kia in July 2023. She would be driving down the road and without warning her car would shut off, no alarms sounding, and no instrument lights lighting up. So we brought it in to the service center and explained to them what was happening. They said that they would look into it but they would need to have her car for about a week to properly diagnosis the issue. We said ok and off we went. After several phone calls to see if they had any luck getting the issue to replicate for them, and 3 weeks of them having her car we were told that they were unable to replicate the issue. I found this extremely unlikely to believe so we went and picked up her car to take it to another mechanic for a second opinion. While we were there we requested a copy of their history notes which should have logged the date, time, technician, mileage and any notes for they gathered during that test. Low and behold they were unable to produce any history notes for us. Yep that's correct, they could not produce any knowledge of what was wrong, why and a resolution for correcting it because THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HER OUT. Ready for the real kicker, as she was on her way back to work just a couple of miles down the road from George Gee Kia, her car shut off once again in the middle of the road. Funny your service department and licensed qualified technicians could not get it to replicate. In my opinion you took her car, parked it in the back of the lot and left it there. Who knows how long you would have had it had we not gone back in to check on it. This is absolutely unacceptable, my family will NOT give our business to George Gee Kia again. More
Kiara communicated very well and that's half the challenge when it comes to service issues and having problems. Working with somebody that will communicate and go the extra mile to make sure I know challenge when it comes to service issues and having problems.
