itself has serious issues with work ethic and accountability.
My car was towed here a month ago and had it for two weeks due to a recall I was never informed about — no calls, no emails, nothing — even though I’ve always serviced my vehicle at this same Kia. After being told what needed to be done, I approved an oil change and air filter replacement. The air filter was never installed, and the oil change was done so poorly that oil leaked all over my garage, leaving a permanent stain and puddle still remains .
When I brought it back because the oil leaking, instead of an apology or any sympathy, other service staff “not Conner” they gave me attitude also when I requests once again a new air filter that I thought that was already changed a month ago and charged me $73 for it.
Conner did his best I will recommend him anytime, but this dealership needs serious improvement in communication, honesty, and quality of service. I’m now questioning every bit of work that’s ever been done on my car here.

I have another issue! I am NOT happy with this at all. Since getting my battery replaced I am now inconvenienced with the start/stop function not working. I am being charged $100 to look at this. This is a RIP off!
Connor really is the best of the best, I would schedule
service time and time again, he’s so kind, courteous and understanding, go Connor!

The customer service is nice.
Whenever I have an issue with my vehicle, Kia makes sure they fix the problem. Majority of the time my car is covered by the warranty.

Connor from the service center is very nice and helpful.
He shows compassion and does a great job of returning calls and following up in the message app. I came in for service back in March, issues continue
He shows compassion and does a great job of returning calls and following up in the message app. I came in for service back in March, issues continued. Problems with the vehicle are becoming larger and more complex. I haven’t had my original vehicle since March. I stand by my review, just because someone is nice doesn’t mean the service was good. The service here sucks.

I’ve escalated this situation to Kia customer care. Dealership doesn’t respond to their requests. Not one person has contacted directly to resolve this issue. I have to pick up my truck once again without no real solution. Before March I’ve had the truck for 8 months as an everyday vehicle for my family. Full inspection was done. They told me how great of condition it was in. Taking it to Kia in Wauwatosa was the worse decision I’ve made. Because they’re magically finding issues I’ve never had. And have not driven the vehicle for more than a few hours of leaving the lot in between each incident. I no longer feel this vehicle is safe, but they’ll gladly take a payment and I’m sure something else will happen. I’ll update after pickup. A lawyer and fox 6 need to check into this.
When I made the appointment it showed that my price would
be $168. When I picked up the car it was 212. They never reset my service reminder and my sunroof shield was closed.
