Kia Downtown LA - Service Center

My brand new 2024 Kia Sportage SX Prestige was 115 days young when it developed a coolant leak coming from the area between the catalytic converter and the muffler. It had overheated and needed towing into young when it developed a coolant leak coming from the area between the catalytic converter and the muffler. It had overheated and needed towing into the dealership from where the car was purchased. • The car was brought in on Oct. 14. • The approval from Kia Warranty was 9 days later on Oct. 23 with the caveat "we are just waiting on them to email the official approval." • On Oct 28, the "official approval" was received, and parts were ordered with a completion ETA given to me of Nov. 5 for a complete overhaul of the exhaust system. During this time, photos showed the car was parked on the street in downtown Los Angeles with the doors often unlocked (numerous notifications received). • On Oct. 31 a notification was received that the work on the car was complete. When I arrived to pick up the car, it was filthy. As I noted, it was a brand-new car and I am meticulous about keeping it clean, notably because of the matte finish. The outside was covered in dirt and grime and the technicians had left their paper notes (trash) in the car (photos available upon request). The valet also just pointed to the car on the street instead of it being brought to me. I complained to the acting service manager and thankfully he had it washed after I commented that receiving a brand-new car like this was unacceptable. I appreciate the communication from Michaela, however, receiving an incorrect day for completion had me reshuffling my work schedule. I will take up my disappointment with the failure of the exhaust system with Kia America corporate. In the meantime, I just hope that Kia Downtown looks to work on giving the customer a white glove experience instead of a dirty car. This detail is essential for wanting positive reviews on what the follow-up text described as "truly exceptional service.' More

Poor Job. I was told I would receive my reimbursement in 2 to 3 business when I returned the vehicle, now they’re saying 6 to 8 weeks, INSANE. The reason for m I was told I would receive my reimbursement in 2 to 3 business when I returned the vehicle, now they’re saying 6 to 8 weeks, INSANE. The reason for my visit I was having problems with my head gaskets. I do have a 100mile warranty, so I did some research and found out what the solution was to replacing my head gaskets and that is to replacement the engine. The job was never completed and I was charged 240 dollars plus, 151$. More
