PUBLIC NOTICE. The BBB has been contacted in several occasions that this dealership has a tendency of overpricing vehicles at the time of purchase. Buyers reported The BBB has been contacted in several occasions that this dealership has a tendency of overpricing vehicles at the time of purchase. Buyers reported that the dealer sales team will add packages to the final sale that the buyer did not request. In many occasions the price of a vehicle has been inflated up to $10K resulting in extra charges that include window tinting package, third party powertrain transmission & engine extended coverage and auto accessories over the original price posted in OfferUp or Facebook Market. In other instances, it was discovered that the buyer was given no opportunity to look for a different lender with better auto loans. The sales representative is likely to convince you that they have the best auto loans using their own lenders when in reality they want to run your credit against multiple unrecognized lending institutions that charge up to a maximum of 29% interest rates. It was noted that 8 out of 10 buyers that purchased a vehicle during the years 2022, 2023, and 2024 were very displeased with the end purchase. Many of these buyers believed that the sales representatives are trained to quickly convince you that you qualify but in reality you do not, especially without true verification of employment. Other buyers reported many inconsistencies associated to the credit applications that simply do not match the applicant's first or last name with spelling errors and mismatched personal identification. This raises serious concerns because when your personal information do not match, then it is likely to receive wrong credit information. This dealer on average will credit check buyers against 5 to 6 entities damaging your credit score up to 16 points of your total credit score. It is recommended you come prepared with a pre-approved letter from your lender and DO NOT allow Ken Garff Kia Bell Road to run your credit again. FINAL ADVISORY: The buyers that purchased from this dealer believed that there are hidden fees classified as illegal charges with the intent to charge for something that the vehicle came with already. For instance a used car may be still under warranty, but Ken Garff Kia will still add extended warranty, the tinting package came already with the used car, but Ken Garff Kia will still make you believe you have to pay for it, and oil changes that you can deny at the time of purchase seems to be added without your permission in the final amount financed.

Dishonest dealer! I saw a car listed on carfax listed by Ken Garff Kia.

I made a call, a sales guy, Wili quickly answered my call, told me that the car is being prepped, it was 16.5K. (it was listed as 16.9K online). I told him to shoot me the best out of door pricing...he came back and told me that they couldn't sell me the car, as someone made a mistake. I asked to speak to his manager, he told me that the manager was busy at the moment and for sure, he would return my call. Guess what? no calls, no response. Hey, you are a car dealer. List your car, and people browse and buy. If you cannot honor your pricing or even have the courtesy to return an inquiry call, then you are no diff than a street corner used car lot. Don't do business with them, no Wili, no Kia Bell Road. What a disappointment, they gave car sales professionals a bad name. Don't do business with them. I hope you guys will always be missing your bonus targets and be cheated by your buyers. Enjoy! More
**Subject: Urgent: Issues with Recently Purchased Used Car** Dear Ken Graff Kia Management, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding a used car I recently pu Car** Dear Ken Graff Kia Management, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding a used car I recently purchased from your dealership. While the salesman, Jordan, was very helpful during the purchase process, I have encountered several issues with the vehicle and subsequent service that I would like to address. I purchased the car on Thursday, August 1st, and by Saturday, August 3rd, I noticed several problems, including a diminishing battery life, a broken wireless charging pad, and a dangling piece under the steering wheel. According to the Tesla website, these issues are not normal. I brought the car to your service department on Monday, August 5th, and explained the issues to the service technician. After approximately three hours, I received a call informing me that your system could not connect to the Tesla and that I would need to take it to a Tesla service center. Unfortunately, Tesla is fully booked until September 30th, which is an unreasonably long wait to have my car fixed. I requested to speak with a manager to discuss return options, as waiting until September 30th is not feasible. I also inquired about my Volkswagen keys, which I had left in the car, and was assured by three different staff members that my car would be available for pick-up after 7 PM, as I work late hours. After speaking with two managers, including John, I was informed that I would need to speak with the used car manager, who would not be available until August 6th. They stated that the issues I was experiencing were normal, despite my research indicating otherwise. I was promised a call from the used car manager upon his arrival. On the evening of August 5th, I visited the dealership around 7:30 PM to retrieve my car or Volkswagen keys, as I needed to go to work. I was told that the car was in service and could not be accessed. John kindly offered to reimburse me for an Uber ride to and from work. The following morning, after my night shift, I returned to the dealership to pick up my car and keys. John requested that I email the Uber receipts and informed me that the used car manager would be in shortly after 8 AM on August 6th. I explained that I needed to rest before work and requested a call instead. I called the dealership at 1:30 PM on August 6th, as I had not received any communication regarding the return of the car. I was once again told that the used car manager was unavailable. I left my name and phone number but did not receive a call that day. On August 7th, I called the dealership again and spoke with another manager named Chuck, as the used car manager was still unavailable. Chuck informed me that there might not be a return policy for used cars but promised to pass my information to the General Manager. Despite this, I have yet to receive any communication regarding my concerns. The lack of communication and resolution has been extremely frustrating. I kindly request immediate attention to this matter, including the return of the car and reimbursement for the two unnecessary Uber rides. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. More
Tried to lowball me like I've never seen on my trade-in. Texted with sales rep before I went in, and they told me they were very competitive in pricing, but when I got there, they tried to sell me a vehicle Texted with sales rep before I went in, and they told me they were very competitive in pricing, but when I got there, they tried to sell me a vehicle with no dealer discount, when every other Kia dealer is offering a multi-thousand dollar discount. Their initial offer was $15k higher than another offer I had--which is a lot of additional profit for one vehicle at a Kia dealership. Only after numerous back and forths between the salesperson and sales manager, did they offer a minimus dealer discount. If you value your time, and like to not give away money, you might want to shop somewhere else. More
Slow to process paperwork after the sale. No follow up on We Owes. Argumentative and lied about add-ons being required for financing and were appalled when I pointed out in their own paperwor No follow up on We Owes. Argumentative and lied about add-ons being required for financing and were appalled when I pointed out in their own paperwork it was optional and can not be a condition. Shady practices and giving the Kia name a dark shadow. Very poor ambassadors of the brand. More

Both of the tires were flat and hat to buy two new tires in two days. There was a little chip on the windshield, salesman said the service department will call you, of course, they never did. I text them few more times and they stop answering my text. They are just a looser salesman, they lie. I will never go there again. More
