It's better than most dealerships I've been to but they need to improve keeping on keeyour appointment time. Four hours for an inspection is not good business. need to improve keeping on keeyour appointment time. Four hours for an inspection is not good business. More

The simple/common part needed for my repair was not in stock, and I was told it would be ordered. It has been several weeks and I’ve not heard anything from the dealership and feel forgotten. stock, and I was told it would be ordered.

Had car towed in & took 3 days for them to confirm receipt of car due to confusion with operating 2 dealerships. Service tech took several days to return call & did not address reason for service. Swi receipt of car due to confusion with operating 2 dealerships. Service tech took several days to return call & did not address reason for service. Switched to another service tech who was responsive however despite the 18 point courtesy check they allowed car to leave lot without all wheels being secured, this caused damage to wheel hub & cost me $1k in repairs. They would not reimburse & basically said their 18 point inspection was a visual only. Didn’t care of my dissatisfaction with service & stated I was lucky to get in without appointment as they are blessed with being busy & months of appointments. Would never recommend them to anyone. Car was in the shop for 8 days for valve cover gasket & tune up. They also said in a text that the car drove wonderfully after repairs but receipt said no test drive done. So conflicting reports lends itself to a no trust issue. I own 2 Kia’s so I know what service to expect. They could use lessons from other Kia dealer service departments. More
