Casa Kia of El Paso

Buen servicio, atencion, gracias Sr. Juan Rodriguez por su ayuda, y su paciencia por que no encontraba la azeguranza de mi carro. A G.

I am very disappointed with Kia as a car manufacturer and with the extended warranty they offer—it’s simply not worth it. I purchased a Kia Sportage four years ago and have already experienced multiple issues with the vehicle. Most recently, my SUV had to be taken to a Kia service center after the AC began blowing hot air. Just two days later, the engine suddenly overheated. When I brought it in, I was told that due to the high number of cars in the shop, it would take four days just to perform a diagnostic. I left the car there, and after four days, they informed me that the radiator fan and AC compressor had both failed, along with a sensor. To make matters worse, the warranty insurance company insisted on sending an inspector to verify the issue before approving any repairs, essentially implying they didn’t trust the diagnosis. I was told it would take another four days for the inspector to arrive. So far, I’ve had to spend nearly $600 on a rental car because there’s no support or rental reimbursement offered by either Kia or the warranty provider. It feels incredibly unfair—I've been paying for an extended warranty specifically to avoid these kinds of unexpected expenses, yet I'm still stuck paying out of pocket with no clear resolution in sight. Based on my experience, I do not recommend buying a Kia, and I especially advise against purchasing their extended warranty. It's a waste of time and money.

Avoid This Dealership at All Costs – A Nightmare Experience with the Kia EV9 Purchase! I don’t even know where to begin with how horrendous my entire experience has been through this dealership. After multiple failed attempts to buy from local Phoenix dealerships, I vented my frustrations on the Facebook Kia EV9 USA Owners page. That’s when I was contacted by Isaiah Reed, a salesperson who claimed to be a reputable dealer and promised me a smooth, remote purchase experience. At first, his communication was a breath of fresh air compared to the nightmare I had encountered with Phoenix dealers. Boy, was I wrong to believe that things were finally turning around. The dealership completely misquoted my purchase / finance terms, at least 3 times... Then they miscalculated the county taxes, and then put me in a position where I had pay the difference of around $1,800 out of pocket, or my financing terms would change yet again. It gets worse — they didn’t disclose that a mobile charger wasn't included with the vehicle. When I complained, they provided one, but that was only after I had to put repeated pressure on them. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the vehicle arrived with significant physical paint damage and dings to the driver-side rear quarter panel, which was NOT disclosed beforehand. The salesperson, Isaiah, tried to act like he had no idea about the damage, even though the dealership had signed off on my delivery approval BEFORE the car even left their lot, in order to set up my Kia All Access app. How is that even possible? After days of complaining to Isaiah about the significant paint damage, I was told to go obtain a quote from a body shop for the repairs. There is over THREE THOUSAND dollars worth of damage to the exterior of the vehicle and now Isaiah and his manager Miguel are saying they'll only cover HALF of the repair cost, since they can supposedly fix it themselves for a quarter of the price... Here's a suggestion, Isaiah & Miguel... If you could've fixed it for so much less.., why wasn't the repair made BEFORE YOU SOLD THE VEHICLE?!? I feel as though this dealership completely preyed on the fact that this was a purchase that was made remotely and took advantage of the opportunity to sell a damaged vehicle without taking responsibility for damage they were responsible for! The cherry on top? The vehicle has a noticeable vibration at speeds over 60 mph. Given that I knew this was an issue with certain EV9s, based on the EV9 USA Owners Facebook page, I questioned Isaiah about this while he was on his way to Arizona with the car. He outright denied any vibration, only to later admit, after I'd taken delivery, that he "thought it was normal" because his Ioniq 5 supposedly has the same issue. This car was transported from El Paso, TX to Gilbert, AZ, and I never had the opportunity to inspect it or test drive it before signing the documents. And when I confronted Isaiah about the issues post-delivery, I was met with nothing but excuses and a refusal to take responsibility. In fact, Isaiah and Miguel have continued to gaslight and patronize me, saying that they are making efforts to make things right when they haven't actually taken care of a SINGLE thing, other than to ship me a mobile charger after I repeatedly complained. The dealership’s alternative solution?.. They're telling me to bring the car back to El Paso—over 325 MILES AWAY—to fix the problems. Let’s get this straight: I just dropped $75k on this vehicle, and now they’re asking me to drive halfway across Arizona AND all of New Mexico.., for repairs that should have been handled before delivery? This is completely unacceptable! I’m beyond disappointed, and I’m left feeling completely scammed by this shady, unethical dealership. I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of from the moment Isaiah solicited me on Facebook, and I’m still paying for it in frustration, poor service, and a car that is nowhere near what I expected.
