TOP NOTCH SCAM!
by David Carkin on 07/31/2025It's been 6 weeks since I purchased a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 30k miles. I have put on 1200 miles since pickup and had to jump-start the vehicle. When I called on Wednesday, I explained that I had to jump-start the car. They stated… that there could be a diagnostic fee of $180.00 plus associated with my arrival. But bring it down because it should be under warranty. They state they do a full inspection of any vehicle and even load test batteries before the sale of a car. Well, I showed up, having driven almost an hour to get to them. I was first told that because it is a Jeep, they can not work on it because they are not certified to work on them. So, never buy a used vehicle that does not carry the KIA brand because they are not certified to work with anything other than KIA. I explained to them that any auto parts store can load test a battery. They played the Game because you did not buy their overpriced warranty. It's not covered. They offer a 3-month 3k 3k-mile warranty. I call BS Now, I will say Tanisha, the salesperson, saw me there and stepped up. I went to the GM, Bryce Lindgren, and said, as a courtesy, that they would replace the battery. Sam the Underwriter came to me and stated that they would replace the battery. I asked Are you changing both She said yes. Ok, I left and came back. Well, when I got home, I got curious and looked and found out that the large battery was replaced, but the start-stop was not. I sent a message to Sam asking what happened, and she got back to me and stated (I apologize, it was supposed to be, maybe some miscommunication, when's a good time to bring it back.) It's great that they are going to step up and acknowledge they made a mistake. Well then, I get a call from [contact info removed] at 8:51 stating he is a manager. Due to a conversation I had the day before, I was only looking for one battery and not both. Your mechanic tested both batteries and found them to be bad. The manager stated you do not have to change both, and batteries can go bad within a month! Even the dealership states that if you change one, you need to change the other. You can see that a 1.7 rating out of 5 tells the whole story. If this stops even one sale, then I have done my job. The owners should see why their reputation has gone downhill. Due to the people in the building, or you just do not care because all you worry about is the dollar. Well, let me teach you that if you take care of your customers, that dollar would grow tremendously. But you keep doing what you're doing, that company name will change soon unless they just enjoy screwing the average person!SKETCHY!!
by NIKKIB on 10/24/2024If you are a single woman DO NOT take your car here, they will tell you any lie to get your money. I spent $2000 for 1 issue, when I got my car back it was not fixed and had a new issue, when I tried to get them to fix it they told me it… wasnt that issue but a new one along with 3 more totaling $3500. Please if you value your time, money and sanity stay away!!!!!!!!

by Ociewalt on 01/10/2018When I arrived at Sons Kia Car Dealership, first I was greeted in a warm and friendly manner by the receptionist, and the salesmen in the lobby. I was there to see one particular salesman, Mr. Joel Purnell, whom I met during a previous… visit, while my vehicle was being service. He shared information regarding the new vehicle that I was looking at on the showroom floor, but at that time I wasn't interested in purchasing a new vehicle. When I decided that I would come back to see if the vehicle was still there, I knew that he would be my salesman. He handles himself in a very courteous and professional manner. He worked tirelessly with me to get all my concerns answers. I received more than the expected level of professionalism and respect from him. After the car purchase was completed, he took me outside to go over all the features of the car. He went above and beyond to get me the best deal for my purchase. He is a very good person, and salesman. Kia not only have a great employee, but one that is truly an asset.Awesome experience with Kia
