Martin, we have several issues with this review and feel as though this situation is being dramatically misrepresented. At this point, because you have made it clear that you are leaving these reviews simply to fix your vehicle for damage that was on the vehicle before you purchased it we will not proceed with any further efforts to find a mutual resolution. You purchased your vehicle as-is and had plenty of time to look it over before the purchase. You voluntarily moved forward with the purchase and agreed on a price as to take the vehicle the way you saw it. If there were any issues with the condition of the vehicle at that time, you should have made us aware. If your concerns had been brought to us sooner, we may have been able to get you out of the vehicle but unfortunately several weeks have past and our options are much more limited. Customer satisfaction is a number one priority for us and we generally have no problem working with our guests to find a resolution. Lastly, if you would like to cancel your warranty, we would still be happy to process that cancellation for you. Please send an email to wecare@choosecarriage.com if you would like to proceed with that offer. We are very sorry we were not able to make you happy about your purchase. Thank you

Carriage Kia gainsville off of Brownsville road. Your response doesn't surprise me in the least bit. Instead of standing behind your dealership you try to turn things to make it look as if I did something wrong or dishonest. Again, doesn't surprise me in the least. Eric the guy who sold me the car had called me two times. The first call he was trying to get me to remove my review off of Google or off of the better business bureau. I told him the only way I would remove it is if you guys fixed the dents in my car. He said he would see what he could do and he would call me back. Two or three days later he calls me again and says he can offer me an additional 20000 miles on my extended service contract. I told him I didn't want it as I'm cancelling it. He again said he would see what he could do as far as fixing the body damage on my car. Later that night I realized I wouldn't trust my car back at your dealership anyways. And I wouldn't feel right taking down my reviews so others could have the same bad misfortune to walk into carriage Kia of Gainesville off of Brownsville road as I did. There is nothing you can do. I'd rather pay to fix the car then to have it back at your dealership. You talk about the option of me returning the car, but only after the time period of that has lapsed. Never a word about it before. Never a word about it in the first or second phone calls from Eric. You talk about cancelling the extended service contract for me as if your doing me a favor. The fact is that you have to, you are legally binded to do so until the 30 days has lapsed and you also know of my intentions so that's the only reason you bring it up. As I said doesn't surprise me at all. Your dealership is about frauding innocent people out of money just to line your pockets. Just to make yourselves look good to a company that doesn't care for you anyway. I don't want anything from carriage Kia of gainsville, nothing can be done. If your dealership really wanted to right a wrong the very second you read my review you would of had the car fixed or told me I could return it. But you didn't. Instead you go after me because I wrote an honest review of the expierence I had with your dealership. You talk about how I had ample time to look it over and your right. I never said I didn't, only that you put wax over the dents scratches and scrapes to hide them from me. And your coming after me and my review, are you really serious. People look at the bad reviews of this dealership and see how this dealership responds back. Once you get a car and if you have problems with it this dealership won't help you but rather accuse you of wrong doing. Like what type of backwards xxx world are you living in. Your living in the world where you will do whatever it takes to try and save face for a very dishonest dealership. You never cared about making me a happy customer and standing behind your dealership, you just care about the sales number. Again my advice to all potential customers, stay away. Do your research and find a place where if there is a legitimate problem with your purchase that they will actually help you and not go after you. Again not surprised at all carriage Kia of gainsville off of Brownsville road, not surprised in the least bit. But thanks for showing everyone what type of people run this place. Like why would I trust my car back in the hands of those who cheated me in the first place. And yes, very sneaky carriage Kia, having Eric call me every few days just to hold me off until the time period for returning the car was over, yes very sneaky. But I like the car carriage Kia, never wanted to return it. Just wanted y'all to right a wrong. But I guess it's true that grapes don't grow on Thorn bushes.
