South Dade Kia - Service Center

After 4 years the key fob (door locking mechanism) stopped working. We were told that it was not under warranty and reprogramming it would cost about $95. So much for 10 year/100k mi waranty. I'll stopped working. We were told that it was not under warranty and reprogramming it would cost about $95. So much for 10 year/100k mi waranty. I'll buy American next time. More

I had my 2006 Kia Optima service there for the 30000 mile service. When another KIA dealership serviced my car for scheduled service they call me over to look at the transmission oil and told me it needed to service. When another KIA dealership serviced my car for scheduled service they call me over to look at the transmission oil and told me it needed to be serviced because the fluid was very black. I told how could that be I just had a 30000 mile service done where they are suppose to change the filter and fluid. The service department call Kendall Kia service department and asked did they change the fluid in the transmission and they said they did but did not drain the torque coverter which holds 5 of the 15 quarts of fluid this model holds. This means Kendall Kia added 66 percent new fluid to 33 percent dirty fluid. What kind of service is that. Would you add 66 percent clean water to 33 percent dirty water and drink it. No I do not think so. This dealership does the bare minimum and overcharges for their shady work. I would never recommend this dealership. More
