Van Nuys Kia

Avoid this dealership at all costs! They only care about the initial sale and do not care at all about providing any level of customer service after the sale. We purchased a new EV9 from them and have had nothing but problems getting any response and support from them after the sale. The finance manager Russell De La Torre and sales person Mo seek to feel that it is ok to just start deleting emails from us and ignoring our outreach instead of helping support a customer. Additionally their website does not list any information about who their leadership team or GM is so it’s very challenging to find someone else to follow up with. I would STRONGLY advise against buying any cars from this dealership. I used to work at a dealership myself and I’ve never seen such terrible post sale customer support.

My recent purchase at Van Nuys Kia was the best experience buying a new vehicle I have had. Other dealers were not able to accept the $7,500 EV tax credit for a purchase, but Van Nuys Kia did. Farid and his manager Ali made the whole process easy and quick, Ali even gave the highest trade-in value for my 2023 Sorento PHEV. I am very happy with my new Kia EV6 and pleased with how I was treated by Farid and Ali at Van Nuys Kai. I highly recommend them.

Brought my stinger in for an AC repair that somehow transformed into almost 3 weeks of poor communication, constant delays, and generally awful service. I was told about the necessary part replacements days after I brought in the car, without any explanation about what went wrong or why the entire wiring harness had to be replaced for only the multifuse's failure, and my service agent was just as in the dark as me. After dozens of calls and multiple messages, my service agent was been able to follow up on a grand total of three times with updates from the technician, who, either deliberately or incompetently, could only give vague updates that didn't address any of my concerns beyond "it'll get done". I waited day after day and call after call with zero responses, and my update texts only came as "The tech's out today", "There was some miscommunication", "The part's not wuite right and we're ordering another", all amounting to near three weeks of excuses that I couldn't respond to. I'm generally very forgiving between circumstantial tardiness and miscommunication, but together, this has been completely unacceptable.
