ABUSIVE employee behavior towards customer Saw a used HONDA for sale advertised for $14.9K. After the ridiculous fees the cost came out to be $21,9K. Got passed the initial shock and began nego Saw a used HONDA for sale advertised for $14.9K. After the ridiculous fees the cost came out to be $21,9K. Got passed the initial shock and began negotiating in good faith. We were between $18.9K and $18K. I went to the used car salesman Sergio - I thought was agreed on $18.5K. He then came to where my daughter and wife were sitting and said Steven, his manager, said $18.9K final. I went to clarify the conversation and Steven yelled "GET OUT OF HERE, I DON"T WANT YOUR BUSINESS." My wife and daughter walked out and Sergio decided to put his hands on me to PHYSICALLY usher me out the door ---- WOW, never experienced this before. As I left, Sergio yelled out the door, "GET IN THE BACK OF YOUR CAR and GET OUT OF HERE." Big mistake going to Kia on Route 23. Next time if I want this kind of experience I'll join the MMA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I should add.... just before I wrote this I called the dealership to express my displeasure. I spoke to a wonderful person named Annette. Very friendly and seemed sincerely interested in discussing. After describing my nightmare experience, she went to the manager - who apparently was the Steven who yelled "I don't want your business." She said that Steven still does not want my business and has no comment on the abusive behavior. ---- STEVEN - Please don't misconstrue my intent of the call. I DO NOT WANT to do business with Route 23 KIA. I DO NOT WANT your used HONDA. More

Danny was our sales representative and was very professional and well educated in his position. He helped us find what we were looking for and my son walked out with a 2020 Kia Sportage. The process was quick and thorough. Danny did such a great job that I ended up turning my Kia Optima in for a new one. He worked hard to meet my needs. I highly recommend this dealership. Everyone was very friendly. Positive atmosphere. More

Liars, Jerks, and Time Wasters Avoid at all costs!!!!! I would give zero stars if possible. Completely unprofessional from start to finish. "Ashley" the internet sales rep never Avoid at all costs!!!!! I would give zero stars if possible. Completely unprofessional from start to finish. "Ashley" the internet sales rep never responded in over 24 hours to both a text and a voicemail. Advertised "internet price" was not honored. Sale price was 5k more than advertised. "Special Finance Manager" was rude, condescending, and never once listened to my price parameters. Took a deposit that I didn't need to put down since I had pre-approval from a lender before walking in. Made me switch my car insurance when they couldn't even close the deal at the correct price. Even after telling them my maximum budget and giving them a second chance they showed me cars that would not work for my budget. Completely wasted my day off. They just tell lies or hope people are so desperate for a vehicle that they will take whatever terrible rip-off of a deal they present to them. Absolutely terrible, and not how a business should be run. More
Worst finance manager ever Went to buy a Ford truck and after I negotiated the price hey send me to the finance manager MO. He was terrible and wanted to charge me $3,000 more f Went to buy a Ford truck and after I negotiated the price hey send me to the finance manager MO. He was terrible and wanted to charge me $3,000 more for all types of items that were not needed in the truck. When back and forth with the manager who also tried to scam me and didn't want to return my money. Went as far as leaving the dealership I'm making me wait 45 minutes before returning my money. Worst experience ever. More
Shady Shady Shady Route 23 Kia Let me tell you about my experience with trying to buy the Kia Telluride from your dealer. I originally filed a complaint regarding the t Route 23 Kia Let me tell you about my experience with trying to buy the Kia Telluride from your dealer. I originally filed a complaint regarding the treatment at your dealership in April. I was contacted by Marcos the manager and assured a better experience assurance that I would not be paying over MSRP. I went down and dealt with Rosario, who made a deal and agreed on pricing with me and gave a $1200 deposit. Fast forward the waiting game ensued. SX Prestige models came in and I was told mine would be there. Until I realized that my vehicle was in fact not ordered. Marcos suddenly wasn’t as friendly and very dismissive, vehicle promises came and left. There had been a car that was “sold” but the gentleman was out of town and so this is where the newest part of the Saga began. I received a call from Rosario’s team who told me that the person with whom they were selling a Telluride Prestige yo was “away” and they didn’t want to wait for him to sell the car. The only issue that I came across is that the original deal we agreed upon suddenly became a request for me to pay an extra $2,000 for the car because as he put it “you see everyone is trying to get this car”. I explained that since we already had a deal in place it would make sense for them to honor our original deal as I had already put down a deposit. His response “I’m not going to sell you a car for less than I already sold it for with the markup”. When I explained I didn’t want to pay $3000 more he corrected me and said “oh it’s not $3,000 more it’s like $2,000 more” and explained that in order to honor our deal I’d have to wait for a car to come in the future (I thought having my money in the dealership solidified out agreement). I later explained that I was not interested in paying more that what we agreed upon to which he responded “out of respect” that they gave me the first opportunity to buy the car (for more than we originally agreed upon mind you) Kia Motors America These are the types of scenarios that people who are potential new buyers of your brand are being put through in order to drive one of your cars. Do you think this is ethical business? Are these the types of behaviors you stand by? If so I may have to rethink my interest in the Kia Motors brand. Update: I have received a refund on my deposit by the sales Manager who said that they are not Interested in my business. When I asked what the escalation path was to discuss my dissatisfaction, he suggested that I “Stop throwing people under the bus” and I should figure it out and hung up on me. Super professional...

Less than helpful Service and Parts Departments 1 - No phone call to confirm online appointment that required parts and a call-back 2 - After calling Service a couple days after not hearing f 1 - No phone call to confirm online appointment that required parts and a call-back 2 - After calling Service a couple days after not hearing from Route 23 Kia, I spoke with a Service person and explained the service required (new keys & remotes). I was told that I would be called back in 10 - 15 minutes as they would be checking of the parts were in-stock. There was never a call back after waiting by the phone. 3 - I called several hours later after not hearing from Service. I was then transferred to Parts, even though it was my understanding that Service would be handling everything. I spoke to a somewhat abrupt and rude person that informed me that they could not order the parts unless I was physically there to show proof-of-ownership. I explained that I could provide this when I come for my Service appointment to have everything programmed, etc. As the parts would be in the possession of Route 23 Kia the whole time, I asked why I would need to travel there twice and lose time from my job. They had no logical response. My advice.....cars, service, and parts are expensive. Save yourself time and aggravation and find a cooperative dealer that is willing to actually WORK for your money and be HELPFUL. I contact Kia directly and they were unable to help in any way. It seems they have ZERO authority over their dealers. Based on that, perhaps consider purchasing from a brand other than KIA. More
