23 Reviews of McGrath Arlington Kia - Service Center
I contacted this dealer's service center for a minor repair. The repair, which usually takes 1-2 hours, took three days. It is impossible to get through to the service advisor. You will listen to some s repair. The repair, which usually takes 1-2 hours, took three days. It is impossible to get through to the service advisor. You will listen to some stupid AI bot telling you that all employees are busy and someone will contact you soon. No one will contact you until you arrive there yourself. More
BEWARE, DO NOT LET YOUR FAMILY GET WORK DONE HERE HERE. They will take advantage of the vulnerable. Steven Alisauskas was the sales advisor. The engine locked up on my Father in Laws Kia. We worked wit They will take advantage of the vulnerable. Steven Alisauskas was the sales advisor. The engine locked up on my Father in Laws Kia. We worked with Kia and a replacement engine was covered under warranty and would be replaced for FREE. My FIL made the mistake of mentioning he was giving it to his granddaughter. He was then told that the car needed an additional $1,900+ worth of services which he paid for. The check engine light came on in the car and it was making a noise so we brought it back in about 3 months later. We got an estimate for another $1,900 more. I looked at the estimate and became suspicious. I got the original bill he was charged for the engine. I was in shock at what they charged him. Things like they double charged for Coolant, They charged him for a break fluid change and CONDITIONER for the break fluid. When we brought the car back in a couple months later we were told it needed another break fluid and CONDITIONER change. Does anyone know how often a car needs to have new break fluid and CONDITIONER changed??? They were trying to take advantage of him again. There were many other charges that I had questions about. When I finally got ahold of Steven about this, I was told I would have to speak to Timo the service manager but he was gone for the day (at 2 pm) and he would call me the next morning. Of course the next day I heard nothing and when I called Steven told me that Timo wasn't there that day. I have tried calling (They have an automated phone system so you can't even talk to an operator, just leave a voice mail.) He has not called me back. I emailed him directly and that was ignored too. BE WARNED NOT TO TAKE YOUR CAR IN HERE, and if you do, I would not work with STEVEN A. I searched on this review site and found 5 other 1 star reviews about Steven. McGrath KIA- DO NOT post the generic response you are sorry and please call us. I have tried. More
Took my Telluride in for a recall. I was informed that a simple inspection would be needed first and parts would be ordered if required. I scheduled an appointment and was told it w I was informed that a simple inspection would be needed first and parts would be ordered if required. I scheduled an appointment and was told it would take about 30 minutes, maybe 45 if they were busy. Consequently, I scheduled it with other errands in the area. After waiting an hour and 20 minutes after dropping it off, I went to the service desk and asked for my car keys back as I had other appointments to head to. Allegedly, they conducted the inspection because they told me they would order the parts. I told him they weren’t needed because I would find another dealership that could better communicate, manage my expectations and respect my time. The beauty of capitalism is there are two other Kia dealerships about the same distance from home that I can explore. More
My mom's car overheated because the coolant hose popped off. Was towed to Kia and then we were informed that they just clamped it back on and asked if we wanted a coolant flush, we stated we did NOT want o off. Was towed to Kia and then we were informed that they just clamped it back on and asked if we wanted a coolant flush, we stated we did NOT want one due to the fact that it wasn't needed and the total of the repair was going to be $302.90. Well when I dropped her off to get her car a couple days later, the total came out to be $412 plus some change. We asked why did the price go up and the guy stated that it was because they DID end up doing a coolant flush saying we gave them permission to do one. So this guy LIED, his name is Humam Totonchi, put into the system that we gave permission to do so. Well we ended up leaving only paying the original total of $302.90 and going on our merry way. Today, the day after we picked up the car, Humam informed us that we are still responsible for paying the remaining balance and it will be charged to our account. Im not even sure if that is doable but either way, this place really f**ked up. NEVER go here unless you want to be charged for things you DON'T want or want to basically be pondering WTH is going on due to the lack of communication. More
Leased a 2022 Kia Sportage here. The car has had continuous problems with no resolution. Car has been at this dealership's service dept 4/5 times. Service dept claims they cannot fin The car has had continuous problems with no resolution. Car has been at this dealership's service dept 4/5 times. Service dept claims they cannot find anything wrong with the car, and the car is returned to me as it came in. Alarm goes off repeatedly, battery dies. The car has to be jumped every time it has to be used. Currently awaiting a phone call from Manny so that I can bring the car in for service. Service dept claims they do not have any loaners at this time. It's been months with this car's problem, and I'm paying for a car that doesn't work. BEWARE: DO NOT BUY/LEASE HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK More
I have bought 2 cars from this dealership. Ferris was a top rated Salesman and even got my car insurance down so I can make the monthly payment. Cody Hamel, in the Finance, was a wonderful communicato top rated Salesman and even got my car insurance down so I can make the monthly payment. Cody Hamel, in the Finance, was a wonderful communicator and my car was paid off within 4 weeks for my trade in. My second car purchase was a used car. Dave and Joe from the Service Department made sure my car was in safe condition and went over and beyond taking care of me. I worked in Customer Service for 32 years and I give them a A+ rating. I will buy everycar from this dealership. Thank you, Cindy More
I did not like it, I wanted to use my guarantee for some repairs and they never informed me before I went that I would have to authorize $ 145 to see if they accept or make the inquiries with the guarantee, repairs and they never informed me before I went that I would have to authorize $ 145 to see if they accept or make the inquiries with the guarantee, poor service and they did not attend me in my language Spanish? 👎 More

Bait and switch Total bait and switch. I leased a Kia Sorento from them 8 months ago. Ryan (same salesman who worked with me before) called me unsolicited telling m Total bait and switch. I leased a Kia Sorento from them 8 months ago. Ryan (same salesman who worked with me before) called me unsolicited telling me I could lease a new Telluride for same payment with no cash out of pocket, same mileage and warranty because Kia is going to phase out the Sorento. When I got to the dealer my payment was over $150 more and I would have to pay $3,000 in negative equity. Total scam just to get me in the door. Do not waste your time with this dealer. David Y. More
