Kia Autosport of Pensacola - Service Center

Never thought I would be Disappointed in Kia Pensacola I have bought 4 cars from Kia (3 brand new and one used, not even used and not a Kia) and I had not had an issue with any of them until recently. The I have bought 4 cars from Kia (3 brand new and one used, not even used and not a Kia) and I had not had an issue with any of them until recently. The fourth car I bought was a brand new 2015 KIA Forte. I loved this car from first site. It had 5 miles on it when I got into it. Everything was great with it until 2016. I took it in for it's normal oil change and told them about some knocking sounds. It turns out, the head had to be replaced. I was very surprised, but knew the warranty would take care of it, so no big deal. Once is was out of the shop it started shutting off on me while driving. I took it back to them and they couldn't duplicate it, so I kept driving it. FINALLY it started making a noise, turns out there was something wrong with the alternator. I had also informed them about a shifting issue, but again, could not duplicate the problem. Now here we are in August 2017 and 40,000 miles and a noise when it shifts is happening. Well apparently, they CAN duplicate that and have kept the car for repair and put me in a rental,which is great, but when I try to talk to someone about my concerns with the fact that I have a dud of a car, they attempt to sell me another one? Really? Not only that, but they want to put me in a car that I don't even like and raise my monthly payments by $50?? You sold me a DUD! What happens later when the warranty is out and there continues to be issues with this car? What happens when I try to sell it and the value is lower than normal because of the issues it had? I am so disappointed in the way they handled this situation today that right now, I wouldn't even suggest anyone go there. I know there is a bad seed every once in awhile, you would think they would do something to make it right, other than continue to fix during warranty, then let me hope and pray I can get rid of it as soon as possible after 100,000 miles. This would have been the last car for me. Not anymore, I have to start planning on what to do in 60,000 more miles. More

Great Service Department Every time I have brought my car to Kia, whether for routine maintenance or minor repairs, David has always been great. He's great at explaining the Every time I have brought my car to Kia, whether for routine maintenance or minor repairs, David has always been great. He's great at explaining the different services that are available and which ones my car needs at that time. If anything else is discovered he will call and explain what needs to be done, whether it is a pressing issue or something that can wait a little while, and how much it will cost. If something cannot be fixed that day he works with me to schedule a time for me to bring it by. Overall, I am extremely happy with the service department at this location. More
