Mr. Back, Heber shared pictures via text showing the roof. Our team dealer traded in your EV6 after Heber shared a "spec sheet" for your review which you approved. This is the only roof option on the EV6. We apologize that you are disappointed. Please reach out to our Operations Manager Peggy Roberts at 910-798-4706 to discuss any additional concerns. We look forward to your call. Thank you

That’s even worse. Everyone knew we wanted an EV6 with a panoramic roof - our only requirement. Someone traded the EV6 we selected b/c we approved a stock photo of another car? In one day? The credibility of your entire dealership is no longer expected. Rich

Quality customer care! Having the shuttle is a major plus. It takes the unpleasantness of a long wait and replaces it with a pleasing experience. Well done Coastal Kia! More
