Spitzer Kia Cleveland - Service Center

2014 Sorento motor install So here's my impression of the service department at Kia Spitzer West in Parma (Brookpark and State near 480). I drove my 2014 Sorento from Houston to So here's my impression of the service department at Kia Spitzer West in Parma (Brookpark and State near 480). I drove my 2014 Sorento from Houston to Cleveland to visit family and friends and take a trip to Niagara Falls in Canada. About 1300 miles one way. Upon arriving in Parma (8/4/16) I was at a stop light at Snow and Broadview when my temp gauge all of a sudden started to approach max temp! I turned on the heater to try to cool the engine down and the gauge returned to normal. I drove another 3 mins to my sister's house and shut down the motor. I did a cursory inspection and found no coolant leaks but I could smell radiator fluid. So, I made an appointment online at the closest Kia dealer since my Soto is under warranty and has ALWAYS been dealer maintained ever since I bought it new in Houston (DeMontrond Kia). I dropped it off on Friday morning (8/5/16). First impressions are important. I met with Lisa and she was super friendly and knowledgable. She told me upfront they were busy and would try to get the Soto looked at ASAP but I might not hear anything until Saturday (8/6/16) which I was ok with. I understand it was a last minute drop off and others were ahead of me in line. At least she told me up front. Anyways, I get a call on Saturday afternoon. You won't believe this! My '14 Sorento with 41000 adult-driven, dealer maintained miles has a head gasket leak and needs a NEW MOTOR!!!!! Mind you, I'm from Houston, I'm heading to Canada on Tuesday (8/9/16) and heading back to Houston on 8/18/16!! Now I'm stressed!! I have no car and who knows how long a motor replacement will take? And what about my family's vacation?! Now what?! This is where Lisa, Tony (master Kia mechanic) and the entire Spitzer Kia West team take the cake!!! First, they hook me up with a Dodge Ram rental from Enterprise Rentals. They cover the cost of the rental for as long as they have my Sorento and tell me just to enjoy my trip to Canada and they'll keep me in the loop as parts arrive and repairs begin. While in Canada, Lisa texted me a few times just to keep my informed (like she said she would) and that eased my stress greatly! We returned from Canada on 8/12/16 and the Sorento still wasn't ready. But that's ok because we had the rental. Finally, on 8/16/16, Lisa called and said the Sorento was ready to go! I picked it up and we drove it back to Houston. 1300 miles later, we're safe and sound and back home. I can NOT believe the wonderful service I received from Lisa and Tony at Spitzer Kia!! If I'm ever in need of minor or major vehicle service and I'm in the Parma area, I will highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!! More

Kim Boutll customer care manager SUCKS I brought my Kia in to get an estimate of how much it would cost for my oil change and to fix my lock. I was given an estimate. When I returned to hav I brought my Kia in to get an estimate of how much it would cost for my oil change and to fix my lock. I was given an estimate. When I returned to have the work done, the price of the lock went up $200.00. I asked why the price went up and why isn't it the price I was given I was told she couldn't find it in the computer. Another worker pulled it right up for me in the computer. I asked her why was she giving me a gard time and she told me why didn't I go somewhere else if she wasn't giving me the answers I wanted. The other customers waiting looked at me and commented on how unprofessional she was and how she ever became anyone's manager!!! More

Okay let me start by saying this dealership sucks, with a captial "S". I bought a 2012 forte, and every time I bring my car down there I get nothing but trouble. Kia and their warrenty is nothing to me. Ther captial "S". I bought a 2012 forte, and every time I bring my car down there I get nothing but trouble. Kia and their warrenty is nothing to me. There customer service is awful, they are very negative minded. What really threw me over the edge was yesterday when I brought my car is for the free washes they offer, and my trunk lid was scratched. The man as negative minded as he was fixed it. However, I noticed more "dings" on the car. The service manager came out, and said The car was doesn't scratch the car. He is assured of this only on his fourth day there. I am never bringing my car back to Sptizer they CANNOT be trusted. I will be taking it to another dealership. I will NEVER EVER buy another Kia product again. Very Unhappy customer. More
