Write a reviewAbsolutely terrible customer service every time. I’ve had to have my car taken in for two different recalls, and this dealership said I need to drop off and leave my car ALL day.I read straight from the recall letter I got in the mail that the service should only take 1-2 hours and asked why that couldn’t be done. The just said it was due to “scheduling” reasons. With 3 kids under 3, having to figure out rides and car seats without any kind of car is a pain, especially for the recalls being a Kia issue and not my fault. They don’t offer a loaner car, and I live too far away for Kia to pay for an uber back home. They also wouldn’t pay to rent a car for me, even though the recalls are a fault on their side. The paying customer should not have to take money out of their own pocket to pay for something related to a recall. The person I talked to, Alex, seemed to be new and not have any answers to my questions regarding Kia paying for transportation for me. I asked to speak to a manager/supervisor, and of course, he was “out for the week.” The people at this dealership literally do not care about their customers, and it’s so obvious when talking to them. Not to mention, I called twice about this issue. The First Lady I talked to said she sent an email to higher up, but I never here from them, so I had to call back and check up a couple days later. I called a Kia dealership in Niles, MI, and I was told by the person working there that I could wait for the 1-2 hour service recall, and they reassured me I would not have to leave my car all day. Weird how two dealerships of the same car brand could be so wildly different.

Hi Lauren! We're so sorry to hear about your experience. We appreciate your willingness to discuss this with us and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
bought a 2017 jeep grand Cherokee from here from Jason Gordon. He assured me that they would fix my head rest and my mirror as part of the sale. He has avoided me at all costs and after numerous attempts to call him I still get the same old excuses and that he would call me back and never does. Recently now he stated after the sale he can’t give me a new headrest even though that was the original agreement and that he would have to take one off of a trade in which I had never heard of. He said no trade ins had come in and as we were leaving the lot lo and behold there was one right in the front of the lot! I feel lied to and deceived. I would never recommend anyone to buy from here after the terrible experience I had here. They finally agreed to fix what they promised 10 months later. During that visit They told me they couldn’t fix the check engine light they made up some excuse saying it was jeep software. I took it to Tyler and authorized jeep dealer. They said no it’s a misfire pre-existing condition not a jeep software issue and I’m going to probably have to pay a lot of money to get it fixed. How this got past the initial inspection is very fishy and convienently they jerked me around long enough to make sure my warranty was expired. I am very disappointed and this whole experience has been a disaster. I would never recommend this place I feel like I was lied to cheated and swindled out of my money for a paperweight. Im going to see what options the BBB can offer me. Throughly disgusted

Hi there. We are wondering if you may have left this under the wrong store by chance, as Jason Gordon doesn't work with us. We'd be happy to help you get in touch with the correct location if you need, just let us know.
In 2020 I brought a Kia OPTIMA (FE) in which no mechanic heard of an FE, couldn't find it their computers when it was time for repairs, those cars were going for 26-27k, but it's got ripped off and charged me 32k, the engine is bad, it burns my oil up and leaks, Kia said they will put another engine but won't pay for rental, so i have to pay for rental and car note, can't drive the car out of town just in the city. I'm giving the car back, tried trade in, the dealerships don't want it bc they heard about those engine problems...the car was brand new with 9 miles on it and it was a LEMON I brought for 32k...Liberty Federal Credit Union better dicuss payments with Gurley Leep Kia bc I'm not paying for it...Gurley Leep Ford did me dirty also...I HATE BOTH DEALERSHIPS...

Great people to work with ! Friendly and they know what they are doing. I have a 23 Soul and love it. I have had 3 Souls before the one I have now and bought every one at Gurley Leep. I plan on getting my next car from their dealership also.

Hi there! We truly appreciate your positive feedback! We're grateful to receive such kind words and hear about your experience.
This is the first time I’ve ever purchased a vehicle at Kia. Kim is so nice and also professional. She went the extra mile and we appreciate it very much.

This is truly wonderful to hear! We're so happy to learn that your experience with us was a positive one! Thank you so much for the review!
Bought a 2020 kia Telluride and also a 2023 kia telluride and called to tell them my car won't go into gear. And people are saying there transmission is catching on fire with the same issues. And they said unless the check engine light is on they won't do nothing or even look at it. So I wouldn't recommend them because they make it seem like you buy this warranty to help you. And they won't do nothing. I guess until my car blows up.

Took my vehicle in for software updates. Service was excellent, my car was ready within the promised time, and everyone was very friendly. I left the dealership with a full charge.

Hi there Warren! We truly appreciate your positive feedback! We're grateful to receive such kind words and hear about your experience.
Will likely never use them. I moved from out of town. Bought my car at Kia Dealership, always serviced there and had excellent experiences. Here not so much. Service takes forever even with an appointment and all of a sudden my car stopped working for the first time ever, 1 month after service. They said they could not see my car for another month and a half. So the only other option was to send it to Tyler Kia in Niles. What a difference in service. They replaced my transmission (weird since I was consistent with services and always accepted any recommendations) and had my car back to me in a couple weeks. Runs like new and saved me from renting a car or having to buy something asap. I would never recommend this service place to anyone given the inability to service in a timely manner and the fact my car stopped working not long after one of their services. My opinion is not reflective of Rob, who helped me the first time I serviced my car here. He was great and likely doesn't have control of the schedule. But management needs to look into hiring more and better mechanics so ppl can continue to have good experiences through scheduling and maintenance.

Disappointed why this dealership took what should have been a happy event but chose to spoil it by adding "THEFT PREVENT" line item to our sales invoice. This is a scam. Refuse to accept this charge. These etched meaningless numbers are so faint and hard to see that no thief or police recovering the vehicle would ever look for it plus there is zero correlation to these numbers and what type of vehicle the window came off of. The vehicles VIN does it all. This plain and simple is a scam to steal $300 from the customer.
