Yes, I can contact you. I have another incident that happened previously when I had to replace my new, defective battery. The service department was really crowded so my car was there for a couple of days. When I picked up my car I noticed a strip of chrome was missing over my rear passenger side door. I called it to the attention of the service guy so he checked the pictures he took of my car when I arrived. He wouldn’t let me see the photos but said it was missing when I arrived. It was never noted when I arrived. I would have had it replaced at that time.

Brought my Kia as my oil light came on. I approved an oil change as it was time anyway and asked them to let me know if it solves the issue. After a day of no communication, I spent 20 minu More

Employees will try to bribe you for reviews. They tell you how to answer every question on the review. I was given a $50 discount for a fake review where Anthony in service told me exactly what More

glomac Do not purchase a vehicle from KIA if you need any type of service they will keep your car for over a month this has happened 2 times already in the past 6 months and when we call they don't return your call either. This last time I left it there approximately 30 days and my car never got seen at all and when we got there to pick up it also had a screw in my tire was flat and the car would not start cause it sat so long without getting looked at but according to sales person they had just drove our car up explain that they have no kind of courtesy to call and let us know what was going on. We need our car to work and they make you leave it or they won't even look at it. These are the Kia experts you will have work on your vehicle when you buy at KIA. Warning do not buy I just took my car in cause the emissions light was turning on and wanted to get it fixed before the problem got worse but nothing. If management even cares enough to call us to find out why they dropped the ball but they did not even come around at all. We are the Macias family and we picked our car up on 5-19-2023. Never again and we have bought 4 kia's but no more enough is enough. Worst customer service I ever got. NO WORK WAS DONE OVER DAYS LEFT AT KIA. I only gave you 1 star cause I could not submit without marking a star to rate.

my email is Glomac1958@gmail.com This is not the first time this happened twice in the past 9 months aboth time we took our car in left it over 30 days and still didn't get the maintenance we needed done. If you need to talk you can give me your ph. no and I will reach out to you.This still doesn't help with my car still not working properly and I thought I was taking it to the best place for a kia but apparently not.
