Very disappointed with my experience…

Very disappointed with my experience buying a car from this Kia dealership.

We were told the car was ready for collection on the Wednesday, so we travelled up on the Saturday to collect it. On arrival, we were made to complete all the paperwork before even seeing the vehicle, only to then be left waiting in the showroom for over 45 minutes.

When the car finally arrived, it was obvious it had not been cleaned properly. We were also told the AdBlue had been topped up as part of the service, yet only an hour into the drive home the low AdBlue warning light came on.

What concerns me most is that the service book had been fully stamped and ticked, stating the vehicle had been serviced and the next service was due in 12 months / 32,000 miles. However, after getting home and checking under the bonnet myself, it became clear the vehicle had not actually been serviced at all despite the book being stamped to say it had.

After initially contradicting themselves several times, they eventually arranged for the car to be properly serviced at my local Kia dealer. While that corrected the issue, it still meant a 40-mile round trip, taking a full day off work and losing a day’s wages as I am self-employed.

I asked for some goodwill compensation towards fuel and lost time, which was declined because they claimed there had been “no financial loss” as the work had eventually been corrected — despite it being work that should already have been completed before collection.

Since challenging this further, my emails have simply been ignored.

Based on my experience, once the sale is completed the customer service disappears. I would not recommend this dealership.

Obviously I still won’t hear anything back, hence why I have gone to the extent of writing this review. I really hope you’re happy with yourselves.
£36,000 on a car and this is the exact service I got. 👍

Dear Danny, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to read about your experience and understand your frustration with the issues you encountered during and after collecting your vehicle.
 
We appreciate that purchasing a vehicle is a significant investment, and it is disappointing to hear that the preparation and handover of your car did not meet your expectations. The concerns you have raised regarding the vehicle's readiness, the servicing process, communication, and the handling of your subsequent enquiries are matters we take very seriously.
 
While we are pleased that arrangements were ultimately made to have the vehicle serviced, we recognise the inconvenience this caused and understand why you feel let down by your overall experience.
 
Please be assured that we will be investigating the points you have raised to better understand what happened and identify any areas where we can improve. A member of our team will be reaching out to you directly to discuss your concerns further.

Terrible after sales service

Terrible after sales service. Once they have your money they’re not interested if you have an issue. They either don’t reply to issues or try and fob you off. Avoid
