I had a problem with kamil when I had went in for an oil change. my car has been driving bad since then. talked to kamil. problem still not solved. I had a problem with kamil when I had my car serviced at kia of greer. we drove my car with him in there. I'm no mechanic but I know my car and it's not driving the way it was before I took it in. I would love to speak with someone in person who is over kamil in the presence of kamil. he tried to make me think that I didn't know what I was talking about. trust me I know my car More

Recently went to kia of greenvile. Had car serviced with the following; Oil change, update chips turn of engine light and regular routine maintance. Paid almost $700 waited 4.5 hours drove half way home. My kia broke down on side of road. Had it towed back to kia in which i refused to pay. Then checked and service tech only asked what did i do to. I waited almost another 2.5 hours. They told me chip upgrade didnt work. And now have another issue which will cost $1000. So long story short they will not get any business from me, friends or family. More

Never thought I'd get such a great deal! I brought my 05 Sedona in for yet another repair the other day. It's become quite the money pit. While I was waiting a man named Dominic Gibbs set dow I brought my 05 Sedona in for yet another repair the other day. It's become quite the money pit. While I was waiting a man named Dominic Gibbs set down beside me and asked if I had ever thought of trading it in. I admitted that I had but never thought it would be worth enough to trade and my credit was less than desirable. He did a lot to give me a great deal that I can actually afford and offered me much more for my van than it was worth. I drove away with a brand new SOUL...my very first dealer bought car and I couldn't be more excited. Thanks Dom! More
Service for Hazard Light flashing. Very dissapointed! I brought our 2011 KIA Sorento in for service on June 15 with an appointment time for 8 am. This was for an intermittent hazard light flashing issue. I brought our 2011 KIA Sorento in for service on June 15 with an appointment time for 8 am. This was for an intermittent hazard light flashing issue. The hazard lights would come on and go off at any given time when the car was running or not, usually being worse when the car was sitting in the sun and hot. The Kia “expert” service technician recommended replacing the instrument cluster, a $1300.00 part. During the time while initially waiting the day of taking the Sorento in for repair, I knew this could take some time so I asked for a car so I could leave with my 2 daughters. The service advisor (Chris) said I would have to rent one. Well not knowing how long they may have to have my car for, I decided to let my husband come pick us up on his lunch break. (An entirely new experience started here, but I will try to keep this review to the service department only). After being called and told the car was ready after the instrument cluster was replaced, my husband and I made plans to come and get our car and as I walk through the door at the service department Chris says to me “did you get my message?.” Of course I didn’t, or what he was about to tell me would have stopped me from coming to get the car. He left me a voicemail on my cell phone. I do not have reception on my cell phone in our home which is why our records have 2 numbers on file for us- my home phone number and my cell phone number. He proceeded to tell me that after they replaced the instrument cluster they had moved it from under the bay back into the parking area where the sun was once again upon it. After the replacement of the cluster, the flashing hazard lights issue still existed and cost me $1300.00 for a part that did not repair the issue. When we asked to have the original cluster put back in the car because it was not the problem, we were told that was not an option because the new part had been programed with the cars mileage, therefore it was ours. When asked about getting the original cluster back we were also told it had already been shipped back because it had a core charge on it. When I questioned the expense of replacing a part that did not repair the issue, I was told that the tech line said this was the “starting” point and pretty much had not dealt with this issue much. Since they were going into this with a trial and error mentality, why “start” with the most expensive part?? Now they are replacing the IPM module, incurring me with an additional expense of $750.00. I would think that the service technician would have been able to diagnose or at least had the training to diagnose that the IPM module was the issue to begin with. If not that then why wasn’t the $1300 instrument cluster not tested on the car for the problem before it was sent off to be programed for the mileage making it “mine”? A week later I get a call telling me the car is once again ready. I let them know that once I figure out how to get a ride to get the car I will be there for it. When my husband’s schedule and mine did match up and we were able to come get it, once again it was not ready because the technician working on it left it not completely put together because he would be able to get into it faster “IF” something did happen. He was also “not sure” when we were coming. I was coming when I could get there and needless to say if I get a phone call telling me the car is ready, then I should be able to pick it up when the department is open and I have the means to get there. This is when the Service manager Tom Lapointe got involved and immediately put me in a “Customer Rental Car Compliments of Kia Of Greenville” with no charge. If it was an option then, then why could I not have had a car at the beginning of this whole debacle? Finally when my car was truly ready, I picked it up and dropped off the rental. That is the sole reason that we returned to the KIA dealership to have the hazard lights issue resolved. Thinking the Kia service technicians would be the experts. But now it seems as if the service technician has thrown parts at the issue at our expense. Very, very unsatisfied at this whole situation and the almost $2200.00 bill I was left with, and only wish I never had to deal with this dealership ever again. As for the 2nd part of the story, I got “suckered” into leasing a new 2016 Kia Sorento while I was there the initial day of service and if I though the service department was terrible, the sales floor is 4 times as bad.

Service I have taken my car to service here several times for regular maintenance, a couple of other issues and have been pleased everytime. They have always I have taken my car to service here several times for regular maintenance, a couple of other issues and have been pleased everytime. They have always been good to transport me to and from my job whenever I've had to take my car in. Earl is the BEST on getting me to work and picking me up on time. On my last visit, Daniel (service manager) personally addressed my questions when I was there. He also shared with me things that I needed to do to help keep my car in good working order. The service writers there are always patient with me when I try to describe what sounds or problems that I may be having. Great place to take your car! More
