This dealership absolutely sucks when it comes to dealing with warranties. They are nothing but a bunch of liars, very deceitful. I will never own another Kia as long as I live, and I will and have let other More

I had a great experience with Jacob and everything went smoothly until I spoke to Nick about the car warranty. He was very rude and couldn’t get straight to the point. Everything was great besides that! More

Sorry about that. I just looked back at the paperwork and his name is Cody Alan Hamilton. He started off very nice but took way too long to get to the point. I was having such a great experience until I talked to Cody. As soon as I told Cody no, he was very rude. It was like I was telling a child no for the first time. This is something I needed to address because nobody should have to deal with that level of immaturity at Coastal Kia. Especially when I’m buying my first vehicle as an adult on my own, it made me feel very uncomfortable. I suggest you teach Cody proper customer service. It turned a positive experience with Jacob into a very stressful uncomfortable one with Cody. Cody almost made me walk out the door and never come back.
