Thank you for your patience. We typically find ‘service and check engine light diagnostics’ can take the better part of a day. We apologize if our team did not make you aware and keep you posted during this process. Our records show a lot of time was taken to drive and test the systems in order for a proper diagnosis. We strive to deliver a truly exceptional experience to every client during every visit. Thank you for choosing Coastal Kia.

Laura, we apologize for your frustration. Please reach out to our Service Director John Wigger on his direct line 910-798-4716. Your concern may be an electrical issue with the motor, wiring, or switch, which is unrelated to the previous blade replacement. We are here to help and would like to discuss your concerns. We look forward to your call. Thank you
