We’re sorry to hear about your experience and, especially, the frustration caused by the lack of communication. Regardless of how busy our service department is, you should receive clear expectations regarding the diagnostic process, updates while your vehicle is here, and timely responses to your calls. We also understand your frustration with being told that the initial diagnosis could take several days after arriving for your appointment. We are working to improve how we communicate diagnostic timelines when reservations are made so customers have a better understanding of what to expect before dropping off their vehicle. I would appreciate the opportunity to personally review what happened with your vehicle and the communication surrounding it. Please reach out to me directly so I can look into this further.   Thomas Tillotson Service Director Kia of South Austin ttillotson@group1auto.com

Car sales are great, maintenance group is fast but reliability is another story, if they mess something up you will have a week hold time for them to diagnose the issue they caused. You have to leave More

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing Ashley’s excellent communication throughout your visit. We’re glad the completed repairs met your expectations, but we’re concerned to hear about the wiring and wheel well issues you discovered afterward.
