Kia on Atlantic

​Purchased a Telluride on June 19th and had a total nightmare post-sale experience due to extreme administrative incompetence. Kia on Atlantic failed to properly manage my trade-in payoff with Lexu nightmare post-sale experience due to extreme administrative incompetence. Kia on Atlantic failed to properly manage my trade-in payoff with Lexus Financial Services—sending a payoff that was $152.37 short, withholding the required odometer statement, and failing to provide the Authorization for Payoff (APO). ​Because of their gross delays, my old account was on the verge of hitting 30 days past due, placing my credit score at direct risk through no fault of my own. Lexus attempted to reach anyone at this dealership for weeks with zero response. Calls to the main line are repeatedly dumped straight into general voicemail boxes. I reached out to Finance Manager Darius Smith, sales staff (Brandon), Manager Chris, Abigail Hill, and Heather Borino in accounting with virtually no sense of urgency or follow-through. ​Only after I threatened formal complaints with the FLHSMV DMV regional office did they finally process the shorted balance and odometer statement—but they still failed to submit the required APO to close the account. In the end, I had to personally call Lexus Financial myself, obtain the APO, sign it, and email it back to do the dealership’s job for them and protect my own credit before the deadline. ​Avoid trading in a vehicle here unless you want your credit held hostage by gross back-office negligence. General Manager Chris Layton needs to overhaul his administrative team immediately. More

KIA on ATLANTIC: The ultimate "shady used car" experience — but on a brand-new car. At 71 years old, I have bought many cars, but this was hands-down the worst car buying experience of my life. The decept — but on a brand-new car. At 71 years old, I have bought many cars, but this was hands-down the worst car buying experience of my life. The deception started immediately: the salesman told us we were buying a 2026 Kia K4, but it turned out to be a 2025 model. The finance manager, Tony Ruxxxxi, was incredibly dishonest. He refused to show us any hard numbers during the process, hiding behind a digital-only system and "monthly payment" tactics. Against our better judgment, we finished the deal and were handed a thumb drive with 47 poorly named PDFs. When I finally dug through the files, I discovered total fraud. The $2,000 discount we negotiated was completely left off. Instead, Tony snuck in a "basic protection package" and massive fees that inflated a $30,000 car to a staggering $52,000. To top it off, despite my wife having Tier 1 credit, he locked her into a 7.25% interest rate, boldly lying to our faces that "everybody pays that rate regardless of credit rating." Avoid Tony Ruxxxxi and Kia on Atlantic at all costs. Note: we have been back to the dealership many times with no resolution. We contacted Kia Customer Care and filed 2 claims. Again, we got no response from the dealership. I have filed claims with Florida Attorney General (still waiting). Just finished filing a complaint with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Again, stay away from this place. I am embarrassed how easily I was taken and infuriated that people like Finance mgr. would take such advantage of seniors. More
