The service department at Kia of Clermont is hands down the worst I have ever experienced. They clearly do not care about customer service—money is all that matters to them. Communication is non-existent. More

Took over six hours to get an oil change and a recall done. When I checked out, I told the service person that I had a coupon and he was rude to me. He did take the coupon after telling me that it was to More

Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for not delivering an exceptional experience.

If you don't mind reaching out to us so that we can speak directly, we'd love to address your concerns in detail.

It's cool that the general manager got back to me, and I'm hoping things turn around. I totally get that culture's shifting, customer service is going downhill, and everything's getting more expensive. I wish I could just fix my car myself and save some cash, but with all the tech advancements, that's just not happening anymore. I just want to feel like if I'm shelling out my money, I can at least trust that things will be handled right, even when I'm not looking or can't see what's going on. My final receipt says I got a car wash, and I didn't. Little things like that make you wonder if they'd lie about bigger stuff. I was always taught that if you focus on people, the money will follow.
