Gene Messer Kia

The service department is great but the salesmen are not. Went in 3 times to look at a Telluride. No one would help me. I bought one in Frisco. Went in 3 times to look at a Telluride. No one would help me. I bought one in Frisco. More

The absolute worse service department I have ever seen. Not service advisors but the technicians have no clue on what’s going on with the cars that they are supposed to service. I would never buy another K Not service advisors but the technicians have no clue on what’s going on with the cars that they are supposed to service. I would never buy another Kia and definitely would not visit the Kia dealership in Lubbock. They had my car for 2 weeks and still did not have a legitimate answer but was quick to tell me how much it would be for what they thought it could be. They are a joke literally. More

My service adviser, John Stewart, was so nice, so professional and so good! My car was in and out earlier than I thought plus it was cleaner than what it was when I brought it in!! I recommend Gene professional and so good! My car was in and out earlier than I thought plus it was cleaner than what it was when I brought it in!! I recommend Gene Messer Kia service to everyone who owns a Kia—even if you have to travel a bit. I guarantee they’ll take care of you better than most other Kia dealerships! More

I had an oil leak and took my car to a discount lube stop who told me that it was a rear main seal failure. I then took it to Kia who told me that they didn’t know where the oil was coming from and added a d who told me that it was a rear main seal failure. I then took it to Kia who told me that they didn’t know where the oil was coming from and added a dye and told me to drive it around for several hundred miles. Upon returning to the dealership I was alerted via automated text message that it was a rear main seal leak. This was a Thursday. I approved the repair and heard nothing else. At the end of the day, I had determined that I guess I just wasn’t gonna get my car back. The following day (Friday) I finally called them because nobody had called me and was informed that a part needed to be ordered, took 2 days and that my vehicle would not be ready until the following week. To their credit, they told me I could come get it, but very carefully monitor the oil as it was an active leak. I ended up having to cancel a road trip plan for that weekend that I would’ve been able to cancel much sooner and made alternative plans for if somebody had told me on Thursday what the problem was and that I wouldn’t be getting a repaired vehicle back. I gave them permission to keep it over the weekend and waited until the following Monday. Guess what? Still no call from the dealership. On Tuesday, I finally called and asked what the progress was. I was told that it was being repaired that day and would be available the following day. Wednesday morning I show up to the dealership expecting to pick up my car. Again, nobody had contacted me advising me that my vehicle was either ready or was not ready. When I showed up, I was informed that the repairs were not actually made on schedule, but were being made currently using a glue or seal that needed an overnight set time. Associate at the desk agreed with me that I was lied to about my completion date. He had a great attitude and he was very repentant, but he shouldn’t have had to have been. I finally received a text message on Thursday, confirming that my vehicle was ready. TLDR: My car needed extensive repairs, but I was not kept in the loop about How long the repairs would take and even when I finally got a guaranteed timeline, it was broken and was false information. This will be my very last Kia. Not having a reliable local dealership and also the USB car theft issue has made me swear off of Kia from now on. I am now having trouble even getting insurance for the car so I definitely will not be making another purchase. More

Always cheerful And attentive to me, however, it takes a long time to get my car fixed long time to get my car fixed More
