Salesman was great. Holding spare key hostage to make me come back so that the Salesman could fill out his customer survey is beyond ridiculous. Holding spare key hostage to make me come back so that the Salesman could fill out his customer survey is beyond ridiculous. More

### **Extremely Poor Service and Unacceptable Handling of Flood Damage** My experience with Kia of Port Charlotte has been a nightmare, and I am writing this to warn other customers. I bought Handling of Flood Damage** My experience with Kia of Port Charlotte has been a nightmare, and I am writing this to warn other customers. I bought a vehicle from this dealership specifically for the 100,000-mile warranty, expecting peace of mind for the next decade. Instead, I have been met with incompetence, disrespect, and a refusal to honor their work. Shortly after purchasing the car, my wife drove through a flooded street. Insurance covered the engine replacement, which was performed by a mechanic at Kia of Port Charlotte. This is where the issues began. 1. **Faulty Flood Damage Assessment:** The mechanic's initial estimate was severely lacking. They only replaced the engine and failed to properly inspect the vehicle for other flood-related damage. 2. **Transmission Failure:** Less than a month later, the transmission failed. After significant argument and resistance from the dealership, they finally agreed to fix it, acknowledging that it was part of the original flood damage they should have addressed. 3. **Sensor and Wiring Issues:** A year later, multiple sensors began to fail due to corrosion. When I returned to the dealership, they claimed this was a new flood-related issue and insisted that I file a claim with my now-lapsed insurance, essentially pushing the financial burden onto me. A competent mechanic would have checked the wiring harness for corrosion during the initial repair, preventing this from happening. Kia of Port Charlotte's mechanics performed a bare-minimum, negligent repair, and I am now paying the price. The staff has been **incredibly disrespectful**, ignoring my calls and treating me like I am an idiot. This dealership's service department is unprofessional, dishonest, and fails to stand behind its work. What should have been a single insurance claim has turned into an ongoing financial and emotional burden, all because of their incompetence. Do not trust them with your vehicle. More

The dealership was very accommodating with getting everything done in a timely manner. Unfortunately had to make 2 trips there to get the work done for a known issue. everything done in a timely manner. Unfortunately had to make 2 trips there to get the work done for a known issue. More
