Anje is really wonderful advisor she always lets me know what needs to be done to my car and when. The service techs do a great job is getting my car fixed and ready to go. This time was an oil change & tire rotation. It was done very quickly without a lot of waiting time. The cashier, Linda Beddow is a wonderful lady who read me what I needed to pay & why for my visit. Anje went over the walk about sheet letting me know what I would need in the future and when. Excellent Service & Care for their customers! More

Service is excellant at this location. Wish I could get a price break as I drive a lot if miles and need service more frequently than most owners. How about a free service after 10? price break as I drive a lot if miles and need service more frequently than most owners. How about a free service after 10? More

Got my tires rotated there. Asked how much. "$19.95 plus tax." Except they also charged me a couple bucks for "hazardous waste disposal" and "document storage." Se "$19.95 plus tax." Except they also charged me a couple bucks for "hazardous waste disposal" and "document storage." Seriously? When I complained, the response was "we put that in all the bills." Update: Got a very fast response, and proceeded to have this exchange: Carnival Kia of Franklin wrote on 12/12/2012 3:14:17 PM: My name is Joseph Attigliato, I am the Internet Director here for the Carnival Auto Group. My Dealership participates in the DealerRater Certified Dealer Program. We are committed to providing high quality customer service, but based on your DealerRater review, you did not share that experience. That is very disappointing to us, and through this program we have the opportunity to work with you to resolve any issues with your experience at their dealership. I wanted to personally apologize for what happened to you in our service department the other day. I do not think it was anyone's intention to misrepresent you, that being said, I agree with you that it could have been handled better. If you like I would be happy to take care of your next oil change and tire rotation in light of what has happened. Totally complimentary with no other fees. We value our image on Dealer Rater and hopefully accept our apologies, and in turn use the same method of letting us know about our poor performance, to let others know how we were quick to fix it. You can update your review at any time by logging into your review and selecting "edit." I work out of the Franklin store so you would be able to see me personally when it is time. Feel free to contact me at 615-224-7973. Thank you, Joseph Attigliato awvidmer wrote on 12/12/2012 5:06:27 PM: Joseph: Thank you for the quick response. Obviously, the issue isn't the money, it's the policy and attitude. While I am happy to accept your offer and edit my review to reflect your response, I still am concerned that these added, unnecessary fees will continue to be charged to me and other unwitting customers when the services aren't complimentary. You must agree that tire rotation produces no waste to speak of, and that your documents are all stored on computer, as all modern businesses do. This makes me extremely nervous in the event of a need for more extensive service. I have no problem doing business with people who need to make a profit: all businesses do. But I have a serious problem with businesses who use devious methods to do so. Many dealers have worked hard to overcome the long-held shady reputation of the auto sales industry, and I, in fact, have done some of this work myself for clients. These kinds of charges, for me, represent a step backward. Bottom line: while the free services are nice, I would rather hear that you are changing your policy to be upfront about all charges. Nevertheless, i will edit my review based on your previous and subsequent response, whatever it may be. Thanks again for the timely communication. Carnival Kia of Franklin wrote on 12/14/2012 9:58:50 AM: I hope you do not mind but I forwarded your concern to our corporate ownership group. We have been pushing for some time now at the store level to have some of these charges removed. We also feel that they are confrontational and do not add anything to the experience. They let me know that at the beginning of the year they will be examining policies like this, and that you were not the first (even at this store) to bring this topic up. I was waiting on a response before I answerd your message. While I can not control it directly, imput like yours is important in affecting change. Historically they are very responsive to issues like these. In the meantime, we would be happy to do your services, and if you do not feel comfortable with our facitily because of what happened feel free to use any of the 3 locations to take advantage of the offer I have extended you. They all have my number and know me well. Next time you are in the Franklin store feel free to stop by and say hello. Thanks again for your understanding. awvidmer wrote on 12/14/2012 1:29:35 PM: Joseph: I appreciate your response and frankness. Let's hope that this exchange helps to create a more transparent and trustworthy experience for all customers going forward. I will edit the review to reflect this thread as soon as I have an extra minute. Thanks again for your considerate response. More
