Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I want to be clear that we do not charge an additional fee for a vehicle to be certified pre-owned — if a vehicle is listed and advertised as CPO, that certification is included in the price. I would like the opportunity to review your experience directly with you so we can clear up any misunderstanding. Please reach out to me at kevinbaker@lithia.com. Thank you, Kevin Baker Sales Manager kevinbaker@lithia.com

Mr. Baker, Thank you for reaching out via the Dealer Review website. I’ve attempted to have this discussion with your fellow staff at Southwest Kia but instead was met with unprofessionalism. Does email work best for you or would you prefer a call?
