We are confused by your review update - as your initial positive review was made quite a while ago. Based on the information we see, it has been quite a long time since you have been to our dealership. In order to better serve you and, understand what needs to be done, please reach out to our General Manager directly through the website (see Tell It To Bob on www.premierkiact.com). We look forward to learning more so that we can assist you.
