Surprisingly simple, straight-forward and very satisfactory! This is my third new vehicle purchase from Patterson KIA in Arlington, TX. I like the dealership because of its people and its outstanding customer se This is my third new vehicle purchase from Patterson KIA in Arlington, TX. I like the dealership because of its people and its outstanding customer service. For instance, my salesperson was Kenneth Eborka. He approached me in the maintenance bay after I had had an oil change and an alignment done, and was about to leave in my 2015 KIA Sportage. He asked if that was my car, and I said yes. He asked if I liked it. I said, uh, yes. He said come and let me show you something that will wow you. I had a few minutes, but did not have any intention of buying a car that afternoon. So I went with Kenneth into the showroom and was indeed wowed! The 2017 model Sportage is gorgeous! We had to go take a test drive, just because. I fell in love with it! He is good at what he does, let me tell you. Everyone I dealt with that day, from Jarrid Vinson, Assistant Service Manager, to Kevin Polite, New Car Director, to Robert Hall, Finance Manager, and of course, Kenneth Eborka, salesman extraordinaire, was kind, thoughtful, helpful, patient, and very professional. The whole process was smooth, orderly, not rushed or harried; just comfortable and, again, professional. Very impressive! More

Beware of terminology used When buying a car, be aware! When they say that the VIP package you purchase provides "two years worth of free oil changes", the truth is you get four When buying a car, be aware! When they say that the VIP package you purchase provides "two years worth of free oil changes", the truth is you get four oil changes. Period. Whether you use them in one year or two it doesn't matter, don't expect more than four even when purchasing a new vehicle. Review follow up: I did receive a prompt response to my review on the same day from Tom Wofford with an apology and oil change offer. That was very pleasant. More
Excellent customer service This dealership continues to provide excellent customer service and service detail. I just had my second oil change and they are wonderful! While wai This dealership continues to provide excellent customer service and service detail. I just had my second oil change and they are wonderful! While waiting, I observed excellent customer service from everyone that passed through the service department. They are very attentive to every customer and obviously doing something right because this place is buzzing with business. More

Service Dept Very very long time on hold just trying to get through to a human being at the Service Dept. They seem way too rushed and perhaps understaffed? The Very very long time on hold just trying to get through to a human being at the Service Dept. They seem way too rushed and perhaps understaffed? The few times I've taken my Kia there for any type of service I have to deal with confusion and time delays. Sad thing for me - this is the closest Kia dealership to me and I have found that the other Kia dealerships seem to have the same issues - long waits and quite a bit of confusion at the Service Dept.

why did I go back? ...just stupid I guess. Called service department to make an appointment for a recall repair. I was given a 10:20 appointment. Showed up at 10:20 a ...just stupid I guess. Called service department to make an appointment for a recall repair. I was given a 10:20 appointment. Showed up at 10:20 and was greeted by a service rep who did not even ask my name. He told me it would take at hour, 90 minutes max. At noon, my car was still lined up at the service bay door. It had not even entered the service bay. Told the service rep I would not wait any longer because the time required for the repair was 1 hour, according to the recall letter and service rep who initially scheduled the appointment over the phone. So, best case scenario, I would have been done by 2 p.m. I should have known better than to bring it to Patterson for service. I purchased the Soul there and it was absolutely the worst sales experience I've ever had. It took 3 days to purchase the vehicle. Between the sales person having to talk to the sales manager, finance manager, getting a trade in value, running a credit check, bonding, and waiting for the car to be prepped, it took 3 visits. There more negative sales info, much more. But, needless to say, I cannot recommend this dealership for sales or service. More
Patterson Kia of Arlington Does Not Honor Kia Warranty! I brought my Kia Forte Koup to Patterson last October, under warranty, because the passenger window would not go up. Patterson replaced the motor, but I brought my Kia Forte Koup to Patterson last October, under warranty, because the passenger window would not go up. Patterson replaced the motor, but later that day the same problem, so Patterson locked the window up and ordered the part. I'm in retail, so there is no time for me to do anything during the holidays. Now it's February and I'm trying to get this addressed and Patterson tells me that they will have to order the part again, but now the repair will cost me $300+, I told Patterson "no, this is a warranty repair", Patterson told me "we'll call you back". Come March, I've heard nothing, contact Patterson, same exchange, still no call back. Called Patterson a few more times with the same result, and finally got too frustrated with the runaround. Patterson never even repaired the damage done to my door when the panel was removed, and I've had a non function window for 8 months. We've all heard stories of shady mechanics, Patterson Kia of Arlington is the epitome of a Shady Mechanic! More
