Dear Ms. Case, After a month of being put off, delayed & frustrated, my final approach hopefully reaches you. I've always believed the person at the top Case, After a month of being put off, delayed & frustrated, my final approach hopefully reaches you. I've always believed the person at the top should be aware of what's going on in their company, but it's not as easy as it sounds. John Stumpf of Wells Fargo is a prime case in point of how not knowing what is happening below the "C" suite can ruin a fine institution. I purchased a very expensive set of tires for my '16 Optima (which I bought from YOU) in May 2021. They had an 85,000 mile treadwear warranty, excellent temp, traction & treadwear ratings. The final selling point was the 2 year road hazard policy. A similar tire without the R/H was about $150 less. In November of 2022 I got a huge screw in my tire and brought it in for repair. To me, it was on the top of the tire, but it was explained to me that this gorgeous tire had to be replaced because it was too close to the sidewall. I said OK & asked that it be replaced under the R/H coverage. So began the odyssey between my service rep & Sinsio. It seems Sinsio is the company that Rick Case chose to stand behind the merchandise that YOU sell & to whom I PAY. I can't recall how long it took, but Sinsio finally came back with a credit of 83.50 for a $250 tire. When I asked why. I was told that IN THE SECOND YEAR, tires are subject to pro ration & other factors. I NEVER received any kind of R/H policy literature either from Rick Case or Sinsio. All my life, a R/H policy covers these things 100%. But not at Rick Case. The total bill came to $293 & I was upset about it. In speaking with Jim Contreras & Joe Benitez, they offered me a compromise of $100 which I reluctantly accepted as I had just been worn down by the entire process & just wanted to be done with it. I came into Rick Case Sunrise on 3/6/23 with a bubble in the sidewall of my tire. After my 1st experience I figured there's no way this isn't going to be considered anything but a road hazard. WRONG. It was totally rejected at first. After my strong insistence Robert tried again & Sinsio said they'd reopen the case. I never was informed it was closed. I was asked to take photos & send them to Robert so he could send them to Sinsio. Days passed. Weeks. Joe tells me he's dealing with "Dealer/Tire". Still waiting for an answer. Meanwhile I'm driving on this unsafe tire. I don't drive much, but had to go to Tampa a few weeks ago & it was on my mind the entire drive that I could have a blowout &maybe a bad accident. I SHOULDN'T EVER HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THAT POSITION OR FRAME OF MIND. Would you allow your best friend to drive on a tire like that for that long? How about your kids or grandkids? I read Rick's book. One of the things that most struck me was his maxim of "treat every customer like they're your best friend". A really nice sentiment, but quite hard to do. There is only one company in America that I know of the exemplifies the pinnacle of customer service, &that is Publix. You lose hands down to them& their example. I've not only not been treated as a best friend, but barely as your customer who purchased these tires from you as well as the car that sits on them. I paid Rick Case for those tires. I have my service done there. I don't expect that I'm going to be dumped over to some inept company that you chose to do your job. I didn't buy these tires from Sinsio. I bought them from you & paid you for them. I want to stress again that I was never given any literature regarding my R/H coverages. The tires were manufactured by Goodyear. When deciding to buy my tires I wanted to buy American and I felt I could finally pay for a really good set of tires. These 85K treadwear tires had about 9,400 miles on them in 22 months, &3,000 of those miles were from a road trip to NY & back. The tread was measured at 7/32". I mentioned to Goodyear how is it possible that an 85K treadwear tire that only drove NOT ENOUGH SPACE ALLOWED 4 THE FULL LETTER More
I purchased a 2022 Kia Sorrento last year and have already had three recalls. I scheduled an appt with the service department for this morning. I took my car in at 8:30am and met with my service advis already had three recalls. I scheduled an appt with the service department for this morning. I took my car in at 8:30am and met with my service advisor. He was unsure which recall they have already checked as they never updated it in the system then he asks me if I just want to go ahead and do my 12,000 mile maintenance today since I brought my car in for the recall (I still had over 1,000 miles left before it was due for maintenance but I figured why not, it’s included in the maintenance package that I paid for when I purchased the vehicle). Then he tells me that the only thing included in the maintenance package was the oil change and tire rotation which means I would have to pay for some other services that my car is due for at the 12K maintenance. I explained to him that when I purchased the vehicle, the manager sold me the maintenance package and told me that everything was included in the price of the package. I asked the manager several times if all maintenance was included and he said, “yes.” Today I found out that was a lie. The service advisor told me that a lot of customers have been complaining about the fact that they were sold a maintenance package and were told that everything was included and when they brought their car in for service found out that it was not true. I told him that’s false advertisement and he agreed but he can’t do anything about it cause it’s a separate department. Anyhow, I asked when my car was going to be ready and he tells me that he’s not sure but thinks he can have it ready by 4pm. They brought me a loaner which had Rick Case all over the car (I guess I’m part of their advertising dept) and they asked me to fill the tank with whatever gas I use. I text the advisor around 3:30pm to ask if my car was going to be ready at 4pm and he responds by saying that the UPDATE was promised by 4pm. He then texts me that my car may not be ready until the next day. The entire process was annoying and unclear. I am disappointed in the way they do business and the way they run their service dept. I was told by another employee that when you schedule an appt for the service, you are not scheduling for your car to get serviced at that time, you are actually scheduling a time to meet with the service advisor. Nothing was explained to me and I will no longer visit this dealership. I cancelled my service and returned their loaner (I filled their tank for the 20 miles that I used). They are dishonest and unprofessional. I will take my service to Hollywood Kia and hope I receive better service. More
Our experience with Rick Case Kia was flawless. I identified the vehicle online and worked with the salesman before I arrived. He knew I was coming in from out of town and had red carpet service th I identified the vehicle online and worked with the salesman before I arrived. He knew I was coming in from out of town and had red carpet service the entire journey through purchase. No surprises on price on arrival and full honesty with financing. They were even able to honor an outside appraisal for my trade-in! More
Most deceptive practices ever. Don't buy a new or used car from them. Anthony, We went in there for a car, with the intention to purchase a vehicle that day. Our trip to Rick Don't buy a new or used car from them. Anthony, We went in there for a car, with the intention to purchase a vehicle that day. Our trip to Rick Case Kia was meant to be an important father and son experience for our family. This was to be the first “adult” car for my youngest son, who has worked hard to have a professional job while he finishes college. Everything about the visit was horrible and made us feel like we had to spend a lot of energy “staying on our toes” in anticipation of getting taken advantage of by your dealership. First, the salesman made us sit at his desk for almost 10 minutes while trying to find out “do we have the car”. Then he found the car, but couldn’t find the keys and directed us to another car. He also seemed like he didn’t know the answers to basic questions. When we switched from considering the Kia Soul to the Forte, we had the same issue. We told him we wanted to take the white one listed on the website for a test drive. He went and got the keys, only to have us test drive a different, more expensive white Forte. Of course, we liked that one more and it seemed like a bit of a bait and switch. Even though it was slightly over our budget, we decided we would get that car because of all the safety features. And that is when the deceptive, unethical practices got worse. We explained to the salesman that we wanted to look at a similar Forte, which had less miles and a higher trim, which was selling for $1000 less at Miami Lakes Auto Mall and asked if you would be willing to work on the price. Not only did he not lower the price, he added an additional “Reconditioning fee” of $1790, making the price of the USED car almost $5000 more than the original MSRP of the car when it was new. This is the most despicable , unethical practice I have ever seen. Even when he discounted $3000 off the price of the vehicle, it was still $2,000 more than the original MSRP of the car when it was new. Instead of redeeming a used car dealership’s reputation, they reenforced the negative stereotype for a new generation of car buyers that a used car salesperson is dishonest. More

Everything is a big lie,don’t buy any car here,now my car has $3620.00 dollars above of the actual price,cause I don’t now what happened with that money,with my money,and in the contract they must break down has $3620.00 dollars above of the actual price,cause I don’t now what happened with that money,with my money,and in the contract they must break down all the fees that dealer charges,you (Jimmy Contreras) can’t keep the clients money and put any selling price number without any reason,even when I bought that car in the same shape how it came from the factory,I don’t add any additional equipment,and the easy answer as the Mr Maidana told me yesterday is not to say that the missing money is a pro fee!!!!!what is that?????what kind of professional say that!!! And the seller Juan Carlos since the first moment it was lying,trying to keep the gas card for him self, which one never was given to me,and much less discounted.They never negotiated a price with me,how I am going to be satisfied with a selling price so high???? I want my money back,or at less to discount the $3620.00 dollars from the selling price that you arbitrarily put in the contract.I know my rights Sr and the extent of my responsibility,but the simple fact that I have signed a flawed and disregard contract,does not hold me responsible for the omissions of the contract.

What a nightmare to deal with service on my 2019 Kia Soul Turbo. First of all the car is borderline lemon and only has 37k miles on it but requires service more times than I care to be bothered with. Then Turbo. First of all the car is borderline lemon and only has 37k miles on it but requires service more times than I care to be bothered with. Then the car has a bumper to bumper warranty but they won't replace the small plastic ac duct adjustments for me. The most classic thing that service did when I confronted the manager about not replacing the simple plastic pieces was that he explained to me that the bumper to bumper warranty didn't exactly cover everything, then its not bumper to bumper is it. Then he tried to maneuver me into the new car department to try and get me to buy a new Kia? Its hilarious that they try this, like why would I buy another kia when this one has given me nothing but problems, your warranty doesn't cover everything, and to get someone to answer the phone is a joke!!!! It took me no less than 5 calls to get through to somebody to help me when my car broke down and the towing service showed up 4 hours later!!! Just a complete nightmare all around, if you have a choice I recommend staying away from this dealership and kia in general. More
