rigid hardline approach to your customers problems Back in may I brought my daughters 200r Kia in for a safety recall, at that time I asked them to go ahead and replace the battery and they did. Around Back in may I brought my daughters 200r Kia in for a safety recall, at that time I asked them to go ahead and replace the battery and they did. Around 2 weeks ago my daughters car died so I went and jumped it and later that day when she got off work it was dead again, I had a friend of mine who is a mechanic check the alternator and battery since I could not get in because you were booked out. We found the battery was bad and I replaced it, No problems since. I called on that Monday or Tuesday and asked if there was some sort of compensation that could be extended to me for the cost of the original battery, around 230 if I recall right, I even suggested maybe some free oil changes in lieu of money. The service advisor checked with the service manager and he said no, it was a one for one exchange. That was not possible I had to get the vehicle fixed so my daughter could go to work. I offered to bring the battery in and if it tested bad do an exchange for some oil changes, again I was told no this was a KIA issue not a POWER KIA issue. I was told Kia would only exchange the battery, that did me know good I already put a battery in. To cut to the chase I think the way this was handle was poor at best, I wasn't trying to rip anyone off and it certainly wasn't my fault that battery went dead and you were booked out.I thought the exchange for oil changes was a good exchange top maintain good customer relations and keep us coming back to KIA, Because of the refusal to be flexible I now do not want to come to KIA for servicing, nor do I want to buy a vehicle from POWER. I work in the customer service industry and your service managers refusal to even consider helping me other then the exchange is certainly not in line with your service "mantra" or how you portray yourselves on the commercials. Rigid, hard line approaches to customer problems will not gain you customers nor will it get you raving reviews on social media, in fact it has caused the opposite. Anyway I just wanted you to hear my story and my level of disappointment, I turned the battery into the auto parts store for the core charge and I guess I just eat the 235 and learn a valuable lesson about where I do my business.

Worst Experience Ever! On a test drive of a 2018 Kia Niro EX, the check engine lights came on.

I notified my salesman and the next day, I was told that it was an environmental code that popped up because the gas cap wasn't on correctly. 30 miles down the road, just after the ink had dried on the lease, the lights came on again. Fast forward 4 months later....the car has been in service twice for a total of 5 weeks for the same problem. Add to that additional engine problems. I was sold a lemon. There response was to try to make more money off the situation and to ignore the state lemon law. More
Never buy from POWER I bought a brand new Kia Sportage and was told I get free maintenance check ups. After the 1st check up it was a nightmare trying to get back in. My o I bought a brand new Kia Sportage and was told I get free maintenance check ups. After the 1st check up it was a nightmare trying to get back in. My online profile doesn't work after the 1st scheduled appointment. I call in to schedule an appointment and they now refer me back to the website (which doesn't work). No one seems to be able to help me once they got my money. I'm a single father with 2 kids & don't have time to stop in & schedule an appointment. Now that my appointment was scheduled late, my factory warranty is invalid. I feel used & taken advantage of. None of the promises made by this establishment has come to fruition. Don't ever buy a car from POWER! More
