Didn’t use correct viscosity and over filled engine crankcase. Upon return to correct the issue, the SA ( that I didn’t deal with in the beginning) argues all my points when in fact I was correct.

We have limited experience with the service department since the car is one month old. The first item was my checking the brake fluid. The brake fluid is very clear and filled very full so I did not see t since the car is one month old. The first item was my checking the brake fluid. The brake fluid is very clear and filled very full so I did not see the fluid line in my darkish garrage. They pointed this out to me. I am ok with this service. The second item was the right rear tire started leaking and showed low after 10 days. The Kia has lots of warranties except for a tire road hazard warranty. The puncture was far enough toward the sidewall to not be repairable. They wanted 50% more than where I normally purchase tires and still would not include the road hazard warranty offered elsewhere. I declined this service. More

This was by far the worst experience with an auto service department, second to none. I dropped my car off at 8:45AM on 8/8/24 for warranty items: the replacement of the rear bumper applique, diagnostics fo department, second to none. I dropped my car off at 8:45AM on 8/8/24 for warranty items: the replacement of the rear bumper applique, diagnostics for the non-working wireless charger and replacement of wiper blades. As I received no call back re status, I attempted to call 3 times with no return call. Finally, I called at 5:45PM and indicated that I would not get off the phone until I was able to speak to a live person. Kris picked up the call from the receptionist and he was unable to provide any update. After no call the next morning I called and asked for Sam Stewart, the Service Manager and I left a message. He promptly called back and indicated that the new applique was defective and a new one would have to be ordered, they saw nothing wrong with the wipers and diagnostics for the wireless charger had not been started, something about that there was not enough time and that it would have to be scheduled separately, even though it was on the work order before arriving to the dealership. When I came to pick up my car after arranging for a ride there were two female advisors at one desk talking about something outside of work and did not acknowledge my presence for about 10 minutes. Finally, Mr. Billings came into the service desk area, saw me and asked if he could help me and helped me check out and get my car. I placed calls on 8/13 and 8/14 with no return calls. I called Parts on 8/15 and David indicated that the applique was received on 8/14. Still no call from the Service Department as of 5:00PM and left a message for Sam Stewart. After no return call by 10:20AM on 8/16, I called and had to leave a message for Sam. I called again at 12:19PM and again had to leave a message. I finally received a call from an advisor to schedule my car in for the applique the following week. And just FYI, I was able to have my wipers replaced and the diagnostics for the wireless charger performed at another dealership in 6 hours and the communication was excellent every step, On 8/21, Mark Kerkoski was present in the Service Desk area and took immediate care of me and I was in and out within an hour - but that was not enough to alleviate all of the frustration and total lack of communication at every level. Mr. Billings and Mr. Kerkoski were bright spots in an otherwise dismal experience. More
