After two emails and a phone call, I've received no response from "Johnny Kia". Very unprofessional. DO NOT buy or have a car serviced at First Kia Simi Valley. I urge you to take your business somewhere else. I had to have warranty work on my 2014 KIA Forte due to the electronic power steering going out at 3300 miles. It's not a big deal, its under warranty, or so I thought. They refused to provide a rental car until after I complained profusely. The car was down for a week and not having a rental car would not be a viable option. They "fix" the issue by replacing the steering column, however, they did it wrong. When I got the car back the steering wheel controls did not work, the power steering was sloppy, and the steering wheel was not put on straight. Turns out the technician didn't plug the electronics back in and put the steering wheel back on crooked. I take it back and tell them to fix it right this time. They flat out refused a rental car this time even though the mistake was their fault. Even after complaining about it again, they refused a second rental car. So much for having a car to drive to work. Two days later, they plug the electronics back in and say they put the steering wheel back on straight. The electronics on the steering wheel work again, but guess what; the steering wheel is still not straight! This isn't rocket science, put the wheel on straight! Instead, when I have the wheel straight the car pulls to the right! In order to go straight the steering wheel has to be turned to the left. RIDICULOUS! I take it back and they refuse to correct it or do anything to compensate for the inconvenience, stating that the wheel is on as straight as they can get it. BS! The wheel is cocked to the left by 20 degrees!!! A simple alignment and toe adjustment will fix the issue, no need to take the steering wheel off! This should have been done when the steering column was replaced under warranty in the first place! They flat out refuse to fix their mistake or service my vehicle. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS! More

First KIA gave me professional, friendly, and courteous on time service! The service people and cashier made the process EASY. Thank you for the great attention. on time service! The service people and cashier made the process EASY. Thank you for the great attention. More
