I brought in my 2021 Kia Sorento S with transmission

I brought in my 2021 Kia Sorento S with transmission problems. My car was just under 70,000 and the transmission needed to be replaced. The service cost was just under $5,000 dollars. The fact that a 2021 car w under 70,000 miles needed a new transmission is horrible. I loved my Kia but this has put a bad taste in my mouth about Kia’s and the fact that no one involved with Kia dealership would help us get into another car is unreal to me. One employee offered help but we received no phone call from a sales guy. Basically, Kia knew it was wrong that the transmission failed but were not willing to act in any proactive manner to help make an awful situation more palatable. I will never buy another Kia. I won’t recommend them to anyone. I won’t recommend this dealership to anyone. Incredibly disappointed

The service department is great but the salesmen are not.

The service department is great but the salesmen are not. Went in 3 times to look at a Telluride. No one would help me. I bought one in Frisco.

The absolute worse service department I have ever seen.

The absolute worse service department I have ever seen. Not service advisors but the technicians have no clue on what’s going on with the cars that they are supposed to service. I would never buy another Kia and definitely would not visit the Kia dealership in Lubbock. They had my car for 2 weeks and still did not have a legitimate answer but was quick to tell me how much it would be for what they thought it could be. They are a joke literally.

My service adviser, John Stewart, was so nice, so professional and so good! My car was in and out earlier than I thought plus it was cleaner than what it was when I brought it in!! I recommend Gene Messer Kia service to everyone who owns a Kia—even if you have to travel a bit. I guarantee they’ll take care of you better than most other Kia dealerships!
