They are preying on new customers who do not know about the Kia thefts that have been taking place across the country for months. I bought a 2021 Kia forte in the middle of June and it was stolen by the last week in July. I was never warned of the thefts before I bought the car. And although there is a software update available to prevent theft, it was never done. Kia is also providing steering wheel locks to deter the thefts, and yet again, I was not informed. After the theft I called the dealership to ask why the update wasn’t done and why I wasn’t warned. I was met with less than helpful customer service and I was “disconnected” TWICE. After finally getting through to someone with some decency I was told that the GM would call me ASAP. Two days went by so I called again and I was told the same thing. It’s been 3 whole weeks and still NO CALL. I also texted the salesman that sold me and the car (Sirron) it was read and never answered. DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR BUSINESS. ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS. THEY ARE AN UNETHICAL AND DISHONEST BUSINESS WHO TAKE ZERO RESPONSIBILITY. When I called I asked if bringing it there to get fixed was my best bet and yet again they were less than helpful and told me it would be weeks before a technician could even look at the car.

I had a great experience with this dealership! The salesman was patient and answered all of my questions. I feel as though I got a good deal. I would do business here again. salesman was patient and answered all of my questions. I feel as though I got a good deal. I would do business here again. More
Worst experience ever with a service department! I towed my 2012 Kia Sorento to Fucillo Kia of Clay on May 6 2019 to have it looked into because the push start system was not working. They could not I towed my 2012 Kia Sorento to Fucillo Kia of Clay on May 6 2019 to have it looked into because the push start system was not working. They could not fit me in on that day, but Gary - the service manager said if I towed it to them they would try to work it into an empty slot. Over 2 weeks went past and I never heard from them so I called. Christine explained that there was an issue with an after market car starter, the wiring was not done right, so I okay'd the work to remove and rewire. About another week or 2 went by and I had to call them again. This time It took longer for someone to come to the phone after the initial answering and explaining my situation. Once I did get someone that knew what was happening with my car I was told they thought it might be the smart key module and would have to order the part. I was not to pleased to have to order a 700.00 part that might fix my problem, but I really needed my car fixed so I okay'd the order. Around this time frame I had mentioned to the service manager that it would be nice to have a courtesy vehicle and was completely ignored. After the date given for the part to arrive had past I, again, called them to see what was happening with my repair. I was told the part was on back order. At this point in time I was very frustrated not only with the repair delay, but the horrible customer service I had received. When I made my frustration known to the manager(s) I received neither an apology for their incompetence nor a courtesy vehicle to compensate for the long period of time without mine! It is now over 3 months that I have been without my vehicle and no response back from the dealer, no apology or compensation in any way for the loss of my vehicle, time and money I have had to use (over 1,000.00) to rent a car! At this point I am pursuing options that include possibly surrendering my vehicle back to the loan holder because it appears it either can't be fixed or can't be fixed by this horrible company! After filing a complaint with the BBB I did receive a call from Nick Capria the manager, he left a message and I called back to leave him a message. It has now been 3-5 days and no call back. My car is now over 30 days with no fix, no apology, no courtesy vehicle or offer to reimburse me for a rental! More

It started with an after market car starter that was not wired in correctly (installed before I owned) then has led to it "possibly" needing a smart key module replaced - no guarantee this will fix the issue. Now the part has been on "back order" for over a week from the 1st date given to me. The service department has shown nothing but incompetence and poor customer service from the initial contact with them. If it wasn't for me calling them to check up on my vehicle after not hearing from them in a week - 2 week time frame I am not sure when they would have provided feedback on my car! At this point I have even contacted their service manager with no recognition of fault or even a sincere apology for the horrible inconvenience of not having my vehicle for over a month! Even after pointing out to the service manage (Gary) that it wasn't just about the back log on the part, but the lack of customer service and courtesy calls he just blew me off. I was never offered a courtesy vehicle. NEVER using their services again! More
Awful Sales and Service Honestly I don't mind my Kia Sorrento, its a decent car for the money I pay for. I can say that I am little frustrated with some of the recalls as of Honestly I don't mind my Kia Sorrento, its a decent car for the money I pay for. I can say that I am little frustrated with some of the recalls as of late with the locks, but hey I can accept that it's a car and they break sometimes. What I can't accept is being lied to about loaner cars. Every time I ask for a loaner call they say no, and that they didn't have one. The sales person who sold me my car left and he would always step up and get me a loaner no questions asked. He was a good guy. After I heard he left I knew that I was going to have an issue with getting a loaner so I figured, I just won't there anymore. Well my locks started acting up again and this time I had no choice. I was treated very rudely by the sales manager Adam. After getting off the phone with KIA road side assistance I gave the service department a call. KIA RSA told me to do this. Adam dismissed me and said ok? Why are you calling? Ok? They already called me? Instead of being reassuring and positive he was rude and dismissive. I first asked him for a loaner. He told me he didnt have any, but he could see if he could set me up with enterprise? Really? I don't want to pay for a rental car from enterprise. I want a loaner car because its going to take your service department hours to fix my car. I asked him to transfer me to sales. He did. He transferred me to a sales managers voice mail. I didn't leave a voice mail, but decided to call back. I got the front desk who asked for my name and number and said a sales manager would call me back. The sales manager called me back and seemed nice enough, but then advised he didn't have any loaners and that service handles all the loaners. I advised that Kevin my sales guy would always set me up with a loaner. He said maybe that was the reason why Kevin didnt work there anymore and that he was doing things he should not be doing. Like giving someone a courtesy vehicle when they need one is wrong. He started interrupting me every other sentence, I basically started screaming at him. He hung up on me. Understood. Luckily I knew someone who worked there and he ended up giving me a loaner. I wish I had asked him from the jump, but didn't want to impose. Needless to say I am never getting another vehicle from Fucillo and I am never getting another KIA. As others stated they should stand by their product and at least be decent to people when they have a need. More
Service department is terrible! After having my car in service and being told that the problem would be fixed it was NOT fixed. So after calling back they said I would have to make a After having my car in service and being told that the problem would be fixed it was NOT fixed. So after calling back they said I would have to make another appointment. The earliest appointment was 2 weeks out on a Friday morning. So I brought my car in on Thursday evening and went to fill out the form in drop box but forms were gone. So I asked another person in sales (because service was closed for the day) to get me paper to fill out info. He gave me a blank sheet so I filled it all out with numbers problems license plate ect.. he took my key and taped it to sheet and said he would turn it in. So on Friday night (after receiving no call from Kia on Friday) I called and the dept was closed already and so the person I spoke to said “well they probably didn’t look at vehicle because they had no forms at check out desk. “So then I called Saturday morning and spoke to Scott in service. His response was we can probably not get your vehicle in until MONDAY! Of course at this point I’m upset because first of all why make an appointment if you can’t get this vehicle in! so I got heated and said I made an appointment two weeks ago for Friday morning and you can’t get it in till Monday?!?!?! Not to mention if someone has an appointment on Friday morning and you don’t have papaerwork or keys why didn’t I get a call to say hey where’s your car?!?! Then it gets better! So Scott can’t even find my key or my paperwork after a brief hold. So he says to me we can’t find where your key is? So of course I’m alarmed and frankly a little worried about where my stuff is. He basically tells me he can’t find it and it wasn’t given to him so he doesn’t know where it is. I’m very heated at this point and asking lots of questions like: can’t you contact other people in the company to see where they ended up? Or can’t you ask the person I gave them to where he put them!? Scott was absolutely no help what’s so ever! He made me very nervous that someone could have taken off with my car! So of course I ask when the general manager comes in and I rush over there! So when I get there I speak to the general manager who solves this minor problem of the “LOST “KEYS” in approximately 4 seconds and he does apologize. Meanwhile I’m emotional shaking and I just tell him that I will NEVER use this service again and that they are terrible and I storm off crying! This is not a normal reaction when you bring your car into service. The management is terrible! There is absolutely NO point for making appointments and the original problems aren’t fixed! So I would be very clear to anyone looking to use service to make sure If you have an appointment to make sure your car will be seen that day of the appointment! As well as hand your keys in personally! So after days without car and multiple trips to the dealership I still have a car that’s not fixed and a huge ball of stress that should not have happened! Ps the first encounter with service was terrible as well I needed an inspection and the other things fixed. They never did the inspection and made us wait another week because they set off a sensor when looking at the other issues and forgetting they had to do an inspection. Meanwhile I needed my car for a trip out of state and after again having to argue with service to get me in they made me an appointment. So dropped the car overnight and when I called next day they said it would be 5 days before getting car in. I dropped car off Tuesday night the August 28th called wednesday late afternoon after not hearing from them and was told they couldn’t get it done until sept 4th!!! I was supposed to leave for my trip on Thursday on August 30th and they were told this when we made the appointment and so after getting heated again with them they did get it done! I’m telling you all beware! More
Very disappointed After talking to katrina Fairfield several times to make sure they could get me approved and make sure the vehicle was still there, I drive there from After talking to katrina Fairfield several times to make sure they could get me approved and make sure the vehicle was still there, I drive there from Rochester for them to tell me the vehicle was sold. I deserved at least a phone call to tell me the vehicle was sold. I should have gotten a gift card for gas being that I drove there to waste my time. More
Should have known not to shop here! Sales manager asked us what we were looking for in a vehicle and then promptly told us we were wrong. Wouldn’t listen and didnt care. Engine light cam Sales manager asked us what we were looking for in a vehicle and then promptly told us we were wrong. Wouldn’t listen and didnt care. Engine light came on after two weeks and when we brought the car in, the service department told us we didn’t have an appointment even though we had made one a week before. Now there are more issues with the vehicle and because we are past 30 days they want nothing to do with us. I knew shopping here was a bad idea. Never again. More
