I apologize to Kia Upon yet further review, I see I owe Gary Rome Kia a big apology for my previous post. Now that I have the facts in front of me, it seems that the cau Upon yet further review, I see I owe Gary Rome Kia a big apology for my previous post. Now that I have the facts in front of me, it seems that the cause of my problems was Farm Car Care, Not Gary Rome Kia. In Fact, Farm Car Care insisted that the tranny pan and the corresponding seal were leaking, and Gary Rome fixed it at no charge. That seal is no longer leaking, but the rear seal is. I Have been told that this is because of an overfilled transmission, something that Gary Rome had nothing to do with. I also have been told this is the kiss of death for a transmission. So, in short Gary Rome Kia is dedicated to making clients happy.. Too bad Farm Car Care cant say the same. More

Terrible Car came back from service with a serious vibration issue that was not present when it went in. Was told two wheel rims were bent and needed to be rep Car came back from service with a serious vibration issue that was not present when it went in. Was told two wheel rims were bent and needed to be replaced. Absolutely no communication as to why this started immediately after bringing the car to them, just some vague "maybe you hit a pothole or curb or something" (did not happen in the 15 minute drive home) statement. Follow-up: Took car to Town Fair Tire; was told rim was a little damaged, but not enough to cause the problems I had, however the tires (which Kia had supposedly balanced twice at this point) were all out of balance. They rebalanced the tires and everything was fine. More

As I waited in the waiting room enjoying the complimentary coffee and watching my favorite afternoon tv show it wasn't long before they came and told me my car was ready.

Horrible Service! Do NOT being your car here for service. They charge you for an 'A' Tech and have a kid do the actual service.

There is no communication between the service writers and the techs. They scratched my car and over charged me for the service. When I tried to get some sort of resolution from the service manager Al, he never contacted me. More

No loaner vehicle offered. I'm hesitant to give Gary Rome Kia of Enfield a negative review because up until yesterday, my experience has been nothing but positive. As you can t I'm hesitant to give Gary Rome Kia of Enfield a negative review because up until yesterday, my experience has been nothing but positive. As you can tell from other reviews on this page, an overwhelming majority of their customer are satisfied with their sales and service. I was too. I purchased my new Optima EX in July of 2014 and had a pleasant sales experience. It was conveyed to me verbally that "loaner" cars would be available through their dealership if needed and that was reinforced directly from the service page of their website: "- FREE Loaner cars by appointment. Even if you purchased your vehicle elsewhere, we extend our loaner program to you." I was so confident in this promise that I actually cancelled the rental car provision of my auto insurance (shame on me). On February 15, 2016, I was involved in an accident; hit by a speeding motorist during a wintry mix of snow and ice, and spun 360 degrees across three lanes of traffic and into a median. My insurance agent suggested having the vehicle towed to one of their preferred dealerships but I insisted on having it towed to Gary Rome Kia of Enfield based upon their previous exemplary service. Imagine my dismay when I was told a "loaner" car would not be available to me while these costly repairs were being done. In their defense, I get it: it would be several days before the claims adjuster could view the car and another several days (if not longer) while the repairs are being done. It's not economically feasible for a dealership to part ways with a "loaner" car for such an extended duration, HOWEVER, it's that type of value-added, quality customer service that would have retained me as a lifelong customer. Instead, they lost me. I chose to have my vehicle towed to another dealer for repairs and I'll have all future repairs & maintenance performed by another dealer. And now I'll have to haggle with someone else's insurance to hopefully get reimbursed the $500+ that I had to pay for a rental car. Again, I was hesitant to write this review for fear that I was being unreasonable. But after spending over 27K here less than 2 years ago (+ hundreds on regular maintenance) and being told verbally as well as in print on their website that "loaner" cars were available, I feel my negative review is warranted.
