The physical plant needs remodeling. Sales staff dress doesn’t give the appearance of professionalism. More

We are just as concerned which is why our Service Manager paid for a rental vehicle and drove it over 50 miles to try to duplicate the concern.

Ms. Miller, Our customers are very important to us, but so are our employees. We will not tolerate vulgar & abusive language towards them. You have been warned in the past and unfortunately you are no longer welcome at our dealership. As we told you today, we would be happy to call another local KIA dealership of your choice and fill them in on any work performed on your vehicle.

ARMiller responded

I was called names and talked about in front of customers but that’s ok for your employees to do that. There are 2 sides to every story. Why would I want you to call another dealer, so you can talk bad about me to them and not report the work that REGAL CANT DO. Mrs. Miller
