Despite the crowding, service was efficient and well-taken care of. Edwin did a great job. Trying to call in however was useless- they aren't on location and don't know anything in the phone. More

Dealership is good. Service department needs work on their customer service. Communication is key and unfortunately they lack in this area. More

Kia of South Austin responded

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and, especially, the frustration caused by the lack of communication. Regardless of how busy our service department is, you should receive clear expectations regarding the diagnostic process, updates while your vehicle is here, and timely responses to your calls. We also understand your frustration with being told that the initial diagnosis could take several days after arriving for your appointment. We are working to improve how we communicate diagnostic timelines when reservations are made so customers have a better understanding of what to expect before dropping off their vehicle. I would appreciate the opportunity to personally review what happened with your vehicle and the communication surrounding it. Please reach out to me directly so I can look into this further.   Thomas Tillotson Service Director Kia of South Austin ttillotson@group1auto.com

Car sales are great, maintenance group is fast but reliability is another story, if they mess something up you will have a week hold time for them to diagnose the issue they caused. You have to leave More

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you’ve had positive experiences with our sales team and appreciate the efficiency of our service department. We understand your frustration when a concern requires an extended diagnostic wait, especially without a loaner vehicle available. Your comments will be shared with our team as we work to improve follow-up and customer convenience.
