Communication is subpar. My car was ready and no one called me for a pickup. I usually received better service but the last couple of visit have not been the best.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Always a pleasant experience. My only complaint would be the wait time. I waited close to 2 hours my last visit to have a brake light bulb replaced.

I had a good experience today Jt. Kia on Killian road. The staff was very nice and helpful. I give thanks to Ro the salesman for putting up with my phone calls in regards to the Kia telluride. I want to thank Ro Gilmore and Victor Taylor for being a team to help me to get my dream car. It has been a pleasure. To the young lady who trained me into getting familiar with my car feature. I thank you for helping me. Jt. Kia has a great staff. From Ms. Davis
