Covina Kia

I would advise against making a purchase from this dealership. After having my vehicle repaired and picked up, the issue persisted despite the necessary replacement of the steering wheel clock spring dealership. After having my vehicle repaired and picked up, the issue persisted despite the necessary replacement of the steering wheel clock spring component. Unfortunately, the gap insurance purchased within three months of buying the vehicle did not cover the problem. Given the numerous negative reviews, I believe this dealership warrants caution. DON’T BUY FROM COVINA KIA. More

Unprofessional and deceptive. We bought multiple new vehicles from this dealer. One of our Carnival vans (brand new, purchased 6 mos ago) stopped working suddenly. The service dep We bought multiple new vehicles from this dealer. One of our Carnival vans (brand new, purchased 6 mos ago) stopped working suddenly. The service department couldn’t figure out why and didn’t care. They reluctantly issued a rental in the meantime and then demanded it back. They called the cops and refused service, likely due to ageism. There was still no explanation for why the van suddenly stopped working. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing especially because it’s a brand new van and we purchased multiple new vehicles recently from this dealer. We won’t be going back. You shouldn’t do business here. They’re shady and you might get taken advantage of and screwed. Such an embarrassing experience. Embarrassed for the dealer. Corporate apologized on behalf of them but said they couldn’t do anything since the dealers are independently owned. More

I took in my 9 year old Kia Forte to this location after it began to demonstrate concerning behavior when driving. When driving my car, it would change gears on its own and sputter and downshift to a stop. it began to demonstrate concerning behavior when driving. When driving my car, it would change gears on its own and sputter and downshift to a stop. When I took my car in to Kia Covina, they had it for over a month and claimed it was the spark plugs and a coil in the coil pack. I had them replace both parts they claimed were causing the issue, but three months later, the problem happened again. They then claimed it was the fuel injector. I had them replace the parts again for my car to not turn on two weeks later. They couldn't find the problem even after they were able to duplicate it and returned my Kia claiming that they may have "accidentally" fixed the problem when diagnosing and investing the car. My car is already on its 4th visit to Kia Covina and they are now claiming my car won't start because of an aftermarket alarm that they installed when I purchased my car. I’ve had to escalate this problem to the Service Manager, Oscar Najera, and after not much help, I had to open a claim with Kia Cusomer Care. It’s almost been a month from opening up a claim and the case manager hasn’t even called me yet. I’ve tried calling them and the phone continuously rings until it drops. This is disgusting behavior and I cannot fathom the idea of a dealer giving someone back an unreliable car and trying to blame the car owner for a part that Kia installed. I would highly recommend everyone stay away from this dealership and Kia altogether. They will give you horrible customer service and will make it impossible to fix your car. More

Horrible wait times for getting your vehicle repaired. They have had my vehicle atleast 4 weeks a year for the last 3 years while they do simple repairs. So many excuses that are just xx. Theres no supply They have had my vehicle atleast 4 weeks a year for the last 3 years while they do simple repairs. So many excuses that are just xx. Theres no supply chain issues in 2024. Shouldnt have to wait weeks for simple parts. You are buying a warranty, not a quality vehicle. Diagnostic is a fancy word for them holding your car for almost 2 weeks before they even look at it. Only will give you a rental car if the repair is under warranty which is always a fight. And thats after being without your vehicle for the minimum 2 weeks of "diagnostic." Do yourself a favor, buy a honda or toyota. These people dont even drive Kia's. Its a total joke! More

They had my car since 7/13/23 & finally got my car today, 8/15/23. We own a 2017 Kia Sportage. Not sure about everyone else but from the few other cars before me when they picked up there cars looked washed. 8/15/23. We own a 2017 Kia Sportage. Not sure about everyone else but from the few other cars before me when they picked up there cars looked washed. Anyhow, my car came in since it died on the freeway when my fiancé drove it. We had it towed to this dealership since it was recommended from an auto shop. It was recommended that it needed a new engine and ABS recall and few other things. When the engine came in, it was the wrong one. Waited til the right engine came but suggested that it needed all new belts and hoses. Informed them the the radio hose was done a few months again. Anyhow it came up to $613 after the extended warranty and a rust ring on the leather seat that wasn’t there before. Do not come here and save yourself the headache. All the pictures posted on Yelp was not retouched any type of way except to protect our personal information. And they are not even BBB accredited, wished I knew before this experience. More

Original: I took my car for two recalls. 2014 Soul. One recall was the ACU update the other was an engine fire/bearing test. After getting my car back it started sputtering on acceleration. 2014 Soul. One recall was the ACU update the other was an engine fire/bearing test. After getting my car back it started sputtering on acceleration. I took it back and the problem persisted. One advisor said they DID feel what I felt yet the papers said they could NOT replicate it. The lead mechanic went on a ride with me and finally felt what I did. He checked the spark plugs and flashed the same software again and again and still the problem wasn't solved. The lead alluded that it could be the transmission failing but they did not check it. They did little to nothing to FIND and SOLVE the problem. They kept saying there was no error codes and couldn't offer any repair service. Well OBVIOUSLY there IS a problem. And it hasn't been solved. Anyone I spoke to seemed to have no sympathy or concern over my issue. This is my first and LAST time I'll ever bring my car here. It's clear they refuse to do actual work to FIND and SOLVE the obvious issue. Update1: it's been 4 days since I sent "Victoria the manager" an email and never responded. Just proves my point they don't care. UPDATE 2: i took my car to Carson Kia in which they informed me right away they could replicate and found the issue. they determined by swapping the spark plugs and coils that there was indeed a misfire from the plugs. i took it for a third opinion at a local mechanic who changed the spark plugs and the problem has been solved. no more misfire no more sputtering. IT WAS FIXED. Covina Kia's mechanics and advisors are liars. they said my spark plugs were fine and "looked brand new." they either didnt check them at all or when they did the recall to inspect the area, didnt reinstall them correctly. also i never got a call back from "Victoria the manager" or any response from her.
