Justin unfortunately has failed on multiple occasions to follow through on both communication and deliverables. It is pretty clear that we aren't a priority to him and are more of a bother. 1st when I was t follow through on both communication and deliverables. It is pretty clear that we aren't a priority to him and are more of a bother. 1st when I was told to pick upthe car on monday at 2pm. On that Monday I havent gotten a call so I call and leave a message. That message isn't returned so I go down to the dealer to see Justin then informs me the car hasn't een registered yet blamingit on my insurance co. However on Saturday when we signed for the car I provided my insurance info and had even called my agent who was waiting and could have done it in 2 hours, so I know it wasn't there fault. The next day i go and the car is registered Its been lazily detailed with the cabin being quite dusty. At this point Justin tells me they lost the 2nd key but he would get it into the mail to me by next week. He also assures me he will give me a follow up call. Next week comes and goes and its not until 3 weeks later where I actually had to complain to kia directly to get the 2nd key. Once again Justin misinformed me saying it would be mailed but they can't so I have to waste another trip because his lack of professionalism. Its honestly pathetic and I won't recommend Gary Rome because of it. More
