My car under warranty had ac problems.I was suspicious it... - FASV

My car under warranty had ac problems.I was suspicious it had a freon leak. they "tested" the system and found no leaks and refill it with freon. A few months later had same problem . They refill the system again.Now my car is out of warranty and another shop told me the evaporator is being leaking freon for a while.Also previously had alternator problems. My car had to be towed twice to the shop and only the alternator was replaced the second time. My original battery had to be replaced and I was given another after paying a pro-rating fee. The second battery lasted less than a year. I am sure I was given a used one. The shop staff is more concentrated in listening to the radio and horseplaying on the job than doing their work.One of the shop employees said to me they don't have all the necessary tools to do the job the right way.I had my timing belt replaced at another KIA dealer for $ 399.00. They wanted $ 599.00 !!. I believe Maybe Kia has the policy of avoiding repairs or the dealer is very unproffesional.Don't recommend this place to anyone. I believe Kia make good vehicles; but this place sucks !!!

Took F150 in for cam phasers. - JanisO

Took F150 in for cam phasers. Got it back leaking coolant. Replaced the water pump, got it back still leaking coolant. Took it back, they then said it was the coolant reservoir, $800 they replaced that, got it back, STILL leaking coolant. Went back, then they said it was the turbo coolant line, would be another $2100 to fix. They are either scamming people or their service department is completely incompetent. Would not recommend for service.

I took my car in for body repairs, as was suggested by - mswafford

I took my car in for body repairs, as was suggested by the Toyota dealership. The original estimate was for less than $5000. Then it went up to $14,000 and ended up to be almost $20,000. I hit a pole in a parking lot, never even broke the headlight and the air bags did not go off, I was going about 10 mph. They sent it to a different mechanic who removed the engine so Bay could “fix the frame” and then the mechanic couldn’t figure out how to correctly reinstall it back. It sat in the parking lot for 3 months with the hood off where more damage to the engine was done. Bay argued with the mechanic about who was going to fix what and who was going to pay, and no work was done for months while the car sat there. They continued to lie to me about what was happening as to the repairs every week I called. The car took 6 months for the repair that was originally estimated to take 14 days. My insurance company finally sent someone to the shop to find out what was going on and discovered what was happening. Bay then had to send the car to the Toyota dealership to have the eigine fixed from all the damage done. It cost an extra $5000 which they passed along to the insurance company. The insurance company (AIG) say they’ve never had this happen where a company doesn’t get pre approval and just sends a bill for $5000. Bay refused to release the car until the insurance company paid in full. It sat there for a week while they came to a conclusion. Then Bay Body decided to take the car for a test drive the day we were headed there to pick it up and they found another problem. Fortunately they got it fixed, after I threw a fit. 6 months and $20,000 later we got the car back. My insurance company say if they’d known the final cost they would have totaled the car. They were horrible, they lied every time we called and ripped us off for thousands of dollars. They contracted a terrible mechanic and then didn’t want to stand by their decision. I recommend you don’t take you car there for anything!
