Coastal Kia responded

We’re glad to hear you were satisfied with the work performed on your vehicle. We do provide complimentary Wi-Fi in our waiting area for our customers’ convenience, and we have not experienced or received reports of connectivity issues with the network. Unfortunately, we cannot control connectivity issues specific to an individual device. We’re disappointed that this resulted in a one-star rating despite your satisfaction with the service performed.
