Reviews
Despite my initial positive impression of the dealership, my experience yesterday was far from satisfactory. From the moment I made the appointment on Friday morning, October 30th, until I received my car back after the service, I encountered numerous issues. Upon making the appointment, I was contacted by noon or 1:00 PM, informing me that the service technicians would be released early. I was asked to reschedule or arrive earlier, but I was already working and urgently needed an oil change due to oil leakage in my driveway. I was also informed that I could contact the supervisor to confirm if I could still arrive at 4:30 PM. I was on hold for over 30 minutes before hanging up. I promptly called back to verify the availability of my appointment, avoiding a wasted trip. The technician confirmed that I could still arrive at my scheduled time. However, upon my arrival at 4:30 PM, the service technicians were reluctant to accept my car due to the time of my arrival. One technician mentioned that they were considering releasing the service technicians early again. This raised concerns about the availability of appointments online, as this was the only time I was able to schedule an oil change. Furthermore, I did not receive a multi-point inspection sheet or a video inspection, which are typically sent out. I had to inquire with Johnnie, my service technician, who confirmed that oil was present in the pan. He explained that the service technician did not thoroughly inspect the car, as a more experienced person would be required to do so due to the early release of the service technicians. This lack of thoroughness was unacceptable to me. This experience has led me to question whether I have paid for an oil change and may potentially have to pay for another sooner than anticipated. In addition, he said I’d have to schedule another appointment and leave the car for 24 hours and then another 48 hours to have the work performed. Being that I have a rather tight schedule I’d need a car for daily obligations.

Everything was good. Jason the service advisor, was very kind, knowledgeable and professional. The new building is an improvement from the old one. The coffee is excellent.

Hello, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you; we are more than happy to help!
I stopped to get an oil change and tire rotation along with some recall work. Everything was completed quickly. KIA provided complementary shuttle service to and from home which was not expected but very much appreciated. I will be glad to come back next time I need service. The new showroom and waiting area got a really nice upgrade.

Hi, we're happy to hear you had such a positive experience with our team! We sincerely thank you for the positive review, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Arrived on a Saturday morning shortly after opening for recall service and oil change. Advisors were attentive and informative. Check-in was completed in 5-10 minutes. Very clean facility. Appears relatively new, 1-2 years old. Service performed as ordered. Pickup was easy and quick in under 5 minutes. Overall impressive experience!
