I know there's a chip shortage and all but the way this dealership is doing business is unacceptable. I first submitted an online inquiry and received a message asking if I wanted to be kept up to date whe dealership is doing business is unacceptable. I first submitted an online inquiry and received a message asking if I wanted to be kept up to date when the model I'm looking for came in. I said yes. A few weeks later, I got the text that the model was in and asking if I could come in. Knowing it wouldn't last long on the lot, I canceled work obligations to go in and see it and I text Kim to let her know when I was on my way in so as to not waste anyone's time. When I showed up, it turns out Kim is a call room employee, not a salesperson so she was nowhere to be found - and neither was the car I was there to see. Turns out it was in the shop having work done so I canceled work for no reason as I was unable to test drive it. The salesperson made a racist anti-Asian joke in my presence and then tried to justify it when I called him out on it. Per my request, he took the details of my potential trade-in so as to not make it a complete waste of time...except that they never got back to me with a trade-in value. I called in to express my displeasure and another employee, Vladimir, offered to get to the bottom of it and call me back but never did call me back. I called again and spoke to the sales manager, Anthony, this time who assured me "this isn't how [we] usually do business" and provided a non-binding trade-in value over the phone. Anthony offered to look into the past customer service failures of his staff and return my call but, well, I'll just let you guess how that ended up. I've since called him back twice and left voicemails to no avail. It's a shame because I am a seriously interested buyer in need of a company car but I assure you Rick Case Kia will not be earning my business with this abhorrent customer service. More

Kimberling Gonzalez and Ryan Williams really made our buying experience one of the smoothest car buying process we have ever had. Their attention to details, transparency, customer service and candor is buying experience one of the smoothest car buying process we have ever had. Their attention to details, transparency, customer service and candor is why Rick Case is getting a 5 out of 5! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fair deal and stress free process. More

My experience with Rick Case Kia in Sunrise is the worst experience I have ever had in buying a new car. We live in Cape Coral, Florida. We were looking for a 2021 Kia Telluride which was white with a grey experience I have ever had in buying a new car. We live in Cape Coral, Florida. We were looking for a 2021 Kia Telluride which was white with a grey interior. After looking locally and finding nothing suitable for our needs, we searched around the state and found that Rick Case had a car close to what we wanted in Sunrise. We checked their website ad and it appeared to fit our bill – including the advertised price. My first mistake was to misunderstand that the MSRP price quoted on their website was not their actual price. When I relayed that I was serious about buying this vehicle, I was told that the actual price was $3000 higher. Initially, I said in that case I was no longer interested. I later learned that almost all Kia dealers were charging significantly higher prices than the MSRP for 2021 Tellurides. I understand supply and demand. After further looking, I contacted Rick Case again and said that I was willing to pay to pay their new asking price. I consider the failure to specify the real price on their internet site to be modestly deceptive advertising, but that is true for the majority of Kia dealers as well. I now was talking by phone to Kim Gonzales regarding my decision to buy the specific vehicle that they had in stock (a fairly unique exterior/interior color combination that was hard to find elsewhere). I told her that we were coming from the other side of the state and would be trading in our vehicle to pick up the new Kia. We wanted two options installed including a tow package and HomeLink module and she noted that those should be no problem. We told her that we would come to Sunrise to purchase the car by 11:00 am the next day. At 8:47 am the next day, while on the road to Rick Case, we received a call from Kim saying that they couldn’t install our requested options until we got there. We told her that would be no problem and that the slight delay for installation was acceptable. We arrived promptly at 11:00 am and sat down and were told that we would be dealing with a different salesperson, Caroll Gil. After a few minutes Caroll told us that the vehicle that we had thought we were purchasing was just sold “a few minutes ago”. I believe that Caroll had no idea as to what had transpired prior to our arrival. Anthony Larson, General Sales Manager, confirmed that, indeed, the car we were expecting to drive away was just sold. Naturally, we were devastated. I asked to speak with Kim to discuss the situation but was not allowed. Knowing that we were on our way from the other side of the state, having agreed to all of their terms, and even specifying options to install, the dealership completely screwed us to make another sale. I cannot fully express how this poor customer service affected us! We were then introduced to Jimy Contreras, General Manager of Rick Case Kia. Anthony and Jimy both said that they were sorry but that their policy was to sell a vehicle to whoever showed up first willing to buy it. First come first serve. Never mind that the dealership knew we were on our way across the state to buy the car when they sold it, even calling us while on the road to discuss the vehicle’s options. Would it not have been possible to tell the prospective buyers that showed up that morning that we were on our way to buy the car and that that the car was spoken for? If for some reason the purchase did not go through by 11:00 am, the car would be theirs. Jimy Contreras said that he could possibly order a vehicle like we thought we were there to buy but it would take 6+ weeks to become available – not acceptable to us Carroll then offered to show us other vehicles they had in stock and we found one that wasn’t close to our first choice, but now desperate and having travelled across the state with our trade in, we decided, to purchase it anyway. That’s when we received our third major surprise. We knew that we wanted to trade in our current vehicle for the new one. Prior to coming to Sunrise Kia for our purchase we had checked the Rick Case Sunrise website and found their link to evaluate the value of trade-ins. Following the prompts on their own site, including entering our correct odometer miles, we determined that their site valued our 2012 Volkswagon Touareg at approximately $8600. This sounded reasonable to us as the market value of the 2012 models with similar or more miles on Autotrader was $9,500-11,000. Now, all set to finalize the purchase of a new Kia, the dealership trade-in appraiser approached us and said that, although he agreed that the car was in very good condition, he would give us only $5,500 for our car because it had so many miles on it that he couldn’t sell it. After we vociferously objected, he raised his offer to $6,500. My objection is that I supplied all of my information correctly on the website, yet still received a dramatically lower value for my trade-in than I was expecting. I consider that extremely deceptive advertising. Admittedly, we were mentally exhausted at this point and, against our better judgement, we ended up buying the other car on the lot – a decision we regret today. To summarize, we were asked to pay $3,000 more than what was advertised on the website, the car we were expecting to buy was sold while we were on our way across the state to buy the car, we were given $2,000 less for our trade in than the car’s value as documented on Case’s own website and we wound up with a substitute car that was far from our first choice. I would never recommend Rick Case Kia to anyone looking to buy a new car. Whoever is ultimately responsible for doing business this way should be embarrassed. My wife and I couldn’t be more disappointed in this company! More

We communicated back and forth online for a deal on a 2020 kia sorento. Kimberling was our saleslady she was good. We agreed on a deal and did the preapproved online, etc. Then we setup an appointment 2020 kia sorento. Kimberling was our saleslady she was good. We agreed on a deal and did the preapproved online, etc. Then we setup an appointment on saturday July 18. 2020 for sunday July 19, 2020 for around 3 pm. We have to travel 5 hours to get there, 10 hours round trip to buy this vehicle. It was suppose to be VIP. well we got there after 2 pm. And guess what, the paper work was suppose to be done for just signing, it wasn't ready at all. Then before signing the papers both vehicles were suppose to be out front to look at and test drive they were not. Is this Rick cases kia VIP treatment ? WOW !! Waited over two hours to get out of there and drive back home. Tired. It was said get there at 3 pm out by 3:30 pm. Never happened. Nothing was ready for us at all. Had to do all the information again. I sent everything they needed online before. That was a waste of my time. So would me and my wife do it again here. No way. They didn't offer us a meal anywhere there for the 10 hour round trip. So don't travel to Rick case kia. There is no VIP treatment there. They just say there is there. Kimberling was great. Otto was ok. But nothing was ready for us. Ted in finance was very slow nothing ready. We were tired and hungry. Traveled through 5 thunderstorms going there. So we have no choice but to give one star. We could of just stopped at the numerous kia dealers easily around our town and on the way down to Rick case kia. But we went to Rick case kia instead. Very unimpressed. Dealership is not a wow factor. Biggest kia dealership in the world let us down. Contact the general manager ! Why what for ? It's all over with. After the fact. NO DEALS HERE, TERRIBLE PERCENTAGE RATES, DOESN'T DO THE NO PAYMENTS FOR 30,60,90 DAYS LIKE OTHER DEALERS. WHY ? No $25 or $50 debit card for a test drive, other dealers do !!!! TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY !!!! That's a joke. More
