Kia of South Austin

I told him what I had in mind including color and some other details that were relevant to me, and he LISTEN! He was knowledgeable, patient, attentive and very professional, yet a little compassionate. In other words he was the "whole package", so of course I made the purchase, with a great deal of satisfaction. This was not my first Kia. I enjoyed the previous one and the sales experience also. Thank you Lillian M. Respress More

Nightmare Transaction Still Going on 6 Mo Later **UPDATE: Kia of South Austin has rectified the outstanding lease turn-in situation...albeit six months after the transaction should have been comple **UPDATE: Kia of South Austin has rectified the outstanding lease turn-in situation...albeit six months after the transaction should have been completed. I appreciate Vu Le (Sales Manager) accepting responsibility on behalf of the dealership and making good on what what discussed in December 2017. I'm giving the single star because of Mr. Le, otherwise I would give zero stars. **UPDATE: Six months later and the lease transaction is STILL NOT COMPLETE! As an update to my initial review below - used sales manager of dealership told me general manager agreed to pay outstanding amount in Jan. 2018. Apparently they never sent payment and I was just NOW contacted by Kia Finance that payment is still due. This is an absolute joke that this is still happening. **UPDATE: Used car manager has finally reached out to discuss. Salesperson has now gotten involved as well (still never heard a peep from finance director). Issue is not completely resolved...but this is a start. Note to dealer employees - acknowledge and communicate with your clients. Will update once entire transaction is complete.Lease transaction still not complete...a month after signing lease docs! This should have been a relatively painless turn-in of my leased Kia Sportage, and roll into a new Kia lease. I have top-tier credit and my Sportage was in excellent condition and under miles. Salesperson was a positive and helpful guy. Negotiation and even the dreaded finance signing was pretty smooth and was happy leaving the dealership with my new 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid. That's when it all went downhill. Got a call from the finance director the following day to ask me to come back in to resign part of my lease documents. IMPORTANT: they had failed to include payment of my outstanding lease balance on the documents, which was part of the car negotiation. Had no issue going back in to resign. Just happy it was caught. Finance director was clearly aware that they were to make the remaining payment (even have an email chain between us confirming the same)...and 30 days later do you think that payment has been made? Nope. It was supposed to have been paid within 20 days of transaction. We are past 20 business days. I have left voicemails and sent emails to the finance director without any contact. This is unacceptable that it has even gotten to this point. I went back to Kia because I had such an amazing experience leasing my Sportage from another dealer (in another state), another early-lease turn in with ZERO issues. I am disheartened this time around. More

I felt very worried about declining the extra warranty until my salesperson and my friend both pointed out the 5 yr /60k .

Wait on Minor Car Service It was my first service visit since the new building was finished so nice to not have to pull up to trailer & search offices for a service advisor who It was my first service visit since the new building was finished so nice to not have to pull up to trailer & search offices for a service advisor who always seemed put out. The service advisor who greeted me was polite & answered all my questions & the same upon my departure. Since I bought my car here in 2015 this dealership has had the worst service managers, advisors, etc. I have ever experienced until now! What an improvement. Didn't wait too long for oil change, etc. & state inspection & new waiting room was clean & nice & appreciated the free snacks although he coffee was terrible! But of course I'll be back for the service! More

Spectacular customer service everytime! Went in for my first oil change on my recently purchased Kia Forte, and time spent for the oil change and a couple of recalls was only an hour and 15 Went in for my first oil change on my recently purchased Kia Forte, and time spent for the oil change and a couple of recalls was only an hour and 15 minutes - I thought that was awesome! Staff in Service were informative, friendly and aimed to please - even talked me in to looking at the new Stinger - which I'm probably gonna go back and get! While I was there I got to see the gentlemen that I originally worked with - Esteban Alanis (sales) and Anthony Hill (numbers) - and was greeted like I was part of their family. These guys aren't just about the sell; they're in it for the long haul and are genuine in their mission to keep you as a life long customer. Must go see and experience the spectacular customer service! Sincerely - Jeanette C More

Quick Oil Change and Check Up I took my 2017 KIA Soul in for its 5000 mile oil change and check up. The service was quicker than I expected and they washed my car to boot.
