I brought my Telluride there for a recall repair on 8/2/24. While they were doing the repair, the front radar stopped working and they weren’t able to finish the software update. They didn’t know why 8/2/24. While they were doing the repair, the front radar stopped working and they weren’t able to finish the software update. They didn’t know why or how to fix it, so they sent me home and said they’d call me back the next week once they put a ticket into the main KIA support line. Nobody ever called me back and my front radar has not worked since I brought it there. It did work before then without any problems. I drove 60 miles on the highway using cruise control to bring the car to the dealership when I brought it there on 8/2/24. It worked when I left I there but it has not worked since. After several weeks and several phone calls I finally was able to get it back in to be told that they found damage to the radar and that it must have been in a collision. It has never been in a collision. It have never “bumped” it into anything. I told them this and they replied “well maybe somebody backed into it while it was parked?” Maybe! And maybe it was damaged by you while it was in your lot or in the garage. It worked when I left it in your parking lot, so if there was damage it occurred while it was in your possession so you should fix it and not charge me the $2000 that they quoted me. The customer service throughout all of this has been terrible almost every time I’ve called. (There was one person who was helpful, everybody else did not make any effort to help me find a solution.) I left my keys in the Dropbox the night before the appointment (because my son was home sick from school on the day of the appointment and I didn’t want to be stuck there all day with a sick kid… again, 60 mile drive!). They emailed me the next day at noon, saying I had missed my 9 AM appointment. I called them to let them know the car was in their parking lot and the keys were in their Dropbox. I got a callback about 10 minutes later to let me know that they hadn’t been able to figure out why the radar wasn’t working yet so it might need to stay longer than just one day. I wish I had never brought it to them! More

Do not buy here! I bought a 2015 kia soul and 20,000 miles later it was recalled for the part. They replaced the part on 1/17/2020. On 1/18/2024 the catalatic convert I bought a 2015 kia soul and 20,000 miles later it was recalled for the part. They replaced the part on 1/17/2020. On 1/18/2024 the catalatic converter went again. I called the dealer and of course they say the part is out of warranty. The new converter should be warrantied. I only put 39,000 miles on it and they continue to say theres nothing they can do. Well this is going to cost me over 1,000 dollars to fix. I shouldnt be the responsible party. Disgusted to say the least! More

The service for this dealership is horrible! If I could give them no stars I would. My car was brought to them in for an engine replacement. I ended up getting it approved for a free replacement If I could give them no stars I would. My car was brought to them in for an engine replacement. I ended up getting it approved for a free replacement which was great. But my car is still sitting in their lot to this day!! The service advisors continue to give me false information and every week they push the completion date farther. I understand the shop may be busy but do not accept cars if it would take you almost 2 months to fix. Especially if the original time frame you give your customer is 3-4 weeks. They are unorganized, unethical and they will literally play in your face about your vehicle that you work hard for. Don’t waste your time. More
