In 2018, I purchased a basically fully loaded Kia... - jottoson

In 2018, I purchased a basically fully loaded Kia Sorrento from Timmins Kia. The sale was ok, and I obviously like the car but from day one, I have had very bad service from the service department. They installed a remote start and almost the next day parts are hanging down in my nearly 50 thousand-dollar car. The next service I mentioned it and she "fixed" it but a few days later, it was hanging down again. It is a 50 cent plastic piece that is broken that they were too lazy to replace as she pushed it back up there again. Three years later, it is still hanging down there. A few months later, my stereo starts making horribly loud distortion. I turned the car off and it was still doing it so i recorded a video to show them and brought it in .They said they could not reproduce the problem and let me leave without doing anything. Three years later, its still very intermittent but unfixed. With these dismissive and incompetent examples you can see why i was loathe to bring it there for any other service issues like my very expensive heated leather seats that where ripping at 2 years old (still unrepaired) or some trailer wiring recall they told me about. Last month the electronic parking brake failed. It engages whenever you put the vehicle in park so it required being towed still under the warrantee at 50k kms so it was covered by Kia. However, the next day when Kia called they said in order to fix it I would need to spend $1800 for brake (rotor and pads) above what they were going to fix. She even laughed a little when she told me the price. I told her that was an offensive quote. I have done brakes on just about every vehicle i have ever owned. Therefore, I know what is involved, I went to the site I usually use and priced out all the parts, and it was slightly less than $400 for all the parts I needed shipped from Ottawa free. I told the girl from the service department that and she said there was nothing she could do about the price. So in order to drive my car away they had to cut the seized cables and pull a fuse for the brake system. However, this is integrated into the cruise control. So now, i am driving around in an almost 50k car with no cruise control about to drive 12 hours each way on a road trip. Do you think after that i am going to love owning a Kia or ever want to buy another one. I told the girl at the service desk this, the girl who sold it to me and the sales manger but was dismissed by them all. So I have lodged complaints with Kia Canada. But I will take my business elsewhere. Martins Automotive will fix my brakes for half the price Kia quoted me. But this is the first and last Kia I ever buy.

$1400 for a quote to tell me what it might need. - Amellb

$1400 for a quote to tell me what it might need. Save your money go somewhere else, unless warranty work

It is extremely bad experience for me. - Fazal Hameed

It is extremely bad experience for me. Two weeks back, because of little bit knocking sound of the engine that I heard for the first time from my car, after that i immediately dropped my car in the running condition at kingston Hyundai delearship. After two weeks I came to know that the claim for the repair regaining engine is denied. But extremely the worse part and shocking news for me that the engine of the car had completely seized, It is out of my mind that what kind of diagnostic test were carried out that it heavely demanded the car engine and consequently the engine get seized ?.

Had our Seltos serviced recently. - Diana

Had our Seltos serviced recently. All staff were very helpful and the went over and above in assisting us with questions about some of the electronics of the car. Highly recommend.

Their service was a nightmare! - w.palms

Their service was a nightmare!! They denied breaking a strut and draining my battery. I will never return!!

zero stars - SAMsam

Where to start when I bought the Nissan quest 7 yrs ago, got Oil for life and was told will install DVD by an electrician 1- DVD was installed by bestbuy directly to the battery and drained it everytime the car was not driven for a couple of days, in addition, when I press the hand brakes, the car honks. anyways the car was sent to the dealer many times and was taken to MAS to fix but still drains the battery. 2-I was told a few months ago that the OCFL was given in error. when I bought the car, i got all the packages , extended warranty, rustproofing , etc and during that year, Cotton's Nissan was giving the oil for free was every purchase but the "forgot" to add to my contract. When I went to 1st oil change, told them to please add and they never did 3- THE WORST PART: 7 months ago I take the car for wheel-bearing fix and I notice there was some noise (clunk) from engine. they checked it and told me ENGINE BEARINGS/main shaft bearings after they used stethoscope and this will need an engine. a 76000 km japanese car and NEEDS AN ENGINE. a few months later, I took the car to another mechanic and to my surprise, IT WAS NOT ENGINE BEARINGS - IT WAS AC COMPRESSOR BEARINGS WITHA COST OF 1250$ INSTEAD OF >8000. I still cant believe it. will never go there

Their service is terrible. - Hab

Their service is terrible. I bring my car in for scheduled service. They tell me the cabin filter needs replacement, and the HVAC needs cleaning. I said no to the HVAC. I get the truck 2.5 hrs later, no mention of the filter on the work order, and I wasn't charged. So it obviously wasn't done. I mentioned the Instrument cluster glass was cracked, probably from the extreme outdoor heat. It has to be ordered. My previous Toyota truck had the same problem. They tell me it isn't covered under warranty, but after I raised a stink they said they will do it "this time". If it happens again and they don't cover it, I will go to Toyota Canada, and make a complaint with OMVIC. Next day, they called me said the part was in. I make an appointment for 11am the following day. I arrived early, gave my keys to the clerk, and and walked all the way to Tim Hortons at Gardiners rd/Bath. A different clerk calls and says they can't do the job until 2pm! I'm fuming! I upheld my part, and then this! Then he calls me back says they will try to fit me in within the next 30 minutes. Not good enough!

Service department never answers the phone and will not - Very Disappointed

Service department never answers the phone and will not return my calls. It is extremely frustrating and a massive inconvenience for me to have to physically drive to the dealership in order to speak to someone. I would not recommend anyone purchase a vehicle here. Very disappointed in the customer service.

Great service. - rlanglois

Great service. Always helpful. Cam is fantastic and arranges service for my two Rams to accommodate my schedule. Mechanics are excellent and my vehicles are always serviced and returned clean. I would recommend them to anyone who need s a vehicle serviced.

Dishonest service department, somehow my car that I - zik

Dishonest service department, somehow my car that I bought new and never has anyone near the ac had contamination in the ac that no other shop could find! They lied for $250 and refused to discuss it afterwards. Honda Canada was no help either. I guess they managed to lie their wat to an extra $250, good luck to them.

After a brief disappointment, George Digenis contacted me - thursthouse

After a brief disappointment, George Digenis contacted me to discuss the situation. He encouraged me to revisit the dealership (I have always had excellent service there). George took it upon himself to help me. He was honest, sincere and extremely helpful. He is a great example of what makes the Kitchener dealership special to me. Thanks George!

Recently I had concerns about warranties on my 2015 Kia - kainlay

Recently I had concerns about warranties on my 2015 Kia Soul. The dealership that I purchased it from were not at all helpful. I called Kitchener Kia and spoke with Tim and Mike. They assured me they would help. I have renewed confidence now because of their advise. I will now only deal with them even though I do not live in the city. Thank you Mike and Tim! Sincerely, Kimberly Ainlay

I am very disappointed with the dealership. - Sophia

I am very disappointed with the dealership. I trusted the dealership with my 2017 rogue but last year when I purchased the Altima it has been one problem after the other. On 4 separate occasions I brought the Altima for oil change, but each time the technicians did not update the service reminder in the car and they also didn’t put updated mileage stickers with the next service due dates. I complained each time hoping things would change but no the situation continued. The most recent experience was on January 24th of this year when i took my car again for service and the same thing happened. I then called to speak with one of the managers Debbie but she wasn’t available when I called. Natalie was the person that answered the phone, when I tried to explain that I wanted to speak with Debbie regarding the issue that I had with the last oil change because there was no updated sticker in the car and that a car service reminder message kept popping up on the dashboard in my car. Natalie cut me right off and said she was also a manager I can explain to her what I wanted to speak with Debbie. This caught me off guard because I wasn’t expecting it and I just said okay. I started telling her what the issue was and she basically trashed what I had said and very rudely told me that mistakes do happen and that I should stop complaining because they hire apprentices who are not experienced, they are the ones who made that mistake. I reminded her that this is the 4th time this is happening and I am concerned. Without any remorse or apology, Natalie then said give me your address and I will send you the sticker in the mail mistakes do happen and she hurriedly dismissed me from the phone. I had chills down my spine as I never expected such a bad reaction from an employee to a customer. I then contacted Dan to complain about the ill-treatment I had received from Natalie but he listened and asked me to bring back the car and he was going to make sure that the issue was resolved. With the 3 previous incidents I had complained to Dan each time as well, so he was well aware of the background and empathized with me. I did not take my car back to the delearship because I know that nothing was going to be done differently since this had been the 4th time the same thing happened. So last week I received a sticker in the mail from the dealership as Natalie had promised. The sticker has the updated next service date of January 24th, 2024. I could not believe my eyes when I saw that, so today I texted Dan and told him about the sticker and I even sent a picture of the sticker. This is very bad customer service, I will not be taking my car back to that dealership again, I will look elsewhere. The rudeness of employees like Natalie chases customers away, it is important to understand that if you are serving customers you don’t bring your personal misery to work and take it on customers. This behavior is unacceptable. In the message I sent to Dan today I told him that the dealership is charging customers regular fees on services for substandard services performed by unqualified and unsupervised apprenticeship students who don’t know yet how the work is done putting unsuspecting customers like me at risk. I have written this review as feedback especially to Natalie and the dealership and also warn other customers of what is happening at the dealership right now with the apprenticeship students messing up customers’ vehicles. I am not trying to discourage anyone from going to Kitchener Nissan, but I am just informing others of my experience with the dealership and who knows it could be your experience as well tomorrow. I am definitely escalating the matter to Nissan Canada to investigate this and stop it before worse things happen to customers after their vehicles are messed up by the students. I have requested to Dan that I would like to speak with the owner of the dealership, I will wait and see if the owner will contact me.

They are very nice until you have an issue with warranty - Whoknew

They are very nice until you have an issue with warranty on their product, then the face turns and you will be disappointed. We have bought multiple vehicles from lakeridge, something must have happened through covid because they have lost it. Incompetent shysty crooks is what they are. Completely disgusted with there attitude and service. Would not recommend to anyone. Never going back.

Very Unhappy with purchased extended warrenty. - JH

I purchased a new Mazda3 from Llalo and paid $$$ for a full extended warrantee. I always had scheduled service done by them. The car is still under warranty and the factory Installed Infotainment Centre failed. They repaired it by upgrading the software and CHARGED ME!!!!! What good is an extended warranty? The staff at LLalo is always pleasant, but be careful. Sorry to say I'm shopping for a new car and Mazda is off my list.

Avoid this dealership at all costs. - LF

Avoid this dealership at all costs. I had my car stolen and wanted assistance regarding my lease agreement and having them work with my insurance company and they basically completely ignored me, never answering my calls or assisting at all.

Run as fast as you can from this company. They are a... - Shop elsewhere

Run as fast as you can from this company. They are a crooks and an embarrassment to Jaguar Canada. Worst service ever! Charged for parts not installed and then accused me of removing them.
