The sales associate on site was very helpful even though there were some miscommunications with the salesman on the telephone that effected total vehicle purchase price. More

Matthew, we're sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet the high standards that guests have come to expect from our dealership. If it's possible to discuss your visit in more detail, please feel free to contact us directly. We'd love to get to the bottom of this and turn things around for you.

Hello, I have been in contact with Sam’s club true car many times, they have called me back 3 times just to check to see if someone from your dealer has tried to call me to talk about the situation and every time she said that she was told someone would call me. It appears kia of port charlotte is not actually interested in learning from the situation. I know the true car lady said it would either be someone named Nick calling or one other person. Neither ever attempted to make a phone call.
