**Extremely disappointed with Holly Kia in Felton, DE\.**
I brought my 2016 Kia Cadenza to Holly Kia with a **flashing check\-engine light and a serious engine misfire**\. I was told they were **98% certain** the problem was the spark plugs and coils\. I paid approximately **$1,800** for the recommended repairs\.
**Two days later, the exact same problem returned\.**
I brought it back\. They replaced a fuel injector at no charge, which I appreciated\. **One day later, the check\-engine light came back on again\.**
I returned for a third time\. They cleared the codes and kept the car for several days but made no repairs\. I then spoke with the service manager, who told me they would resolve the check\-engine\-light problem **without charging me anything additional**\.
The check\-engine light came back on **on my drive home from the dealership\.**
I brought it back for a **fourth time**, and I was then told I needed a catalytic converter and O2 sensor costing approximately **$3,700**\.
When I spoke with the general manager about the service manager’s promise, I was told that **the service manager never made that promise**\.
So after spending approximately **$1,800 based on Holly Kia’s 98%\-certain diagnosis**, making **four trips to the dealership**, and still having the same problem, I’m now being asked to spend another **$3,700**\.
This experience has completely destroyed my confidence in Holly Kia’s service department\. The diagnosis, communication, and follow\-through have been extremely disappointing\.
**Four visits\. $1,800 spent\. Problem still unresolved\. Now another $3,700 estimate\.**
I would strongly recommend getting **everything in writing** before authorizing expensive repairs at Holly Kia\. Based on my experience, **I would not recommend their service department\.**
