Grand Kia Reviews
Autochthonous Americano
As a one who finds value in the people experience, I look for a business to build lasting relationships with. Based on the way your company allowed a potential customer to feel, speaks volumes. I see 2 customers in the scenario that could have been inconvenienced. 1 is the customer who ordered the car, 2nd is the customer that made exchange to get the car. It would be wise to bring resolve to all parties harmed by the mistake your company made. Integrity equals longevity. What value does your company bring to our community if you would allow this matter to go unresolved?
I don't think I'll be doing business with your company. I hope you all bring resolve. These are people in the community we live in. We are supposed to do unto others......

Inquired about some trucks i was looking into that i could not find any info on line. I was very specific in what i was looking for but they sent me info on the wrong vehicles and they wont stop calling me. Unimpressed so I'm looking into other makes and models.

I have dealt with Grand Buick when I owned a Buick and had nothing but praise for there service department. However, times must have changed.
I have to admit I purchased a GMC Sierra 1500 from another dealer and had a question about the functioning of the alternator. I stopped in at their service department to see if they could answer my question. When I arrived at the service department no one greeted me. I went in to where a young man was sitting and asked him if I could ask a question about the alternator. He was very rude and told me, "If you don't have an appointment you will have to come back, and no appointments are available until next week". This was on a Wednesday. I said fine and left.
This encounter turned me off and since I was also there to inquire about a 2015 Buick Verrano. The result was we went to another dealer to look at the Buick

My husband found a used truck that he liked here. We clearly explained our spending limits and were told that it was a consignment sale so they needed work on it. We ended up leaving to go test drive some other vehicles but came back. When we went to go talk about the price this time with a different salesman (but he still had our sales sheet with notes of the price limit we told them earlier) we were told the listed price and that they don't post it because it's their second best deal.
Are you kidding me? Why such different stories and what a huge waste of our time!
I would like to say though that Matt and Dean (the first guys we talked to) were very nice and helpful.

Worst experience buying a car. I have less than perfect credit got approved for a loan took the car home for 3 weeks got a call saying I had to return the car because my lender wouldn't finance me because I am a contractor. My lender stated that this was not the case the dealership didn't want to pay the bank fee. After days of crying and wondering what I was going to do about a car they still hadn't figured it out. Took the car back and went to Carmax right up the street was approved by the same company they said wouldnt approve me and now I am in a 2012 Premium Addition Kia Optima. It was a horrible experience and at the end I felt like I was treated horribly because I don't have great credit. Ryan Patterson is an awesome sales guy who will really work with you and find you the perfect car. The rest of the finance team are rude and sneaky and made me feel horrible. Why let me take a car home for three weeks just to say they need it back think they would have figured that our prior to me having the car for so long.

I got ripped off on a 2007 Ford Focus. A simple heads up would have been nice. "Sorry sir, but we removed your AC from your car. Oh, and we'll charge you $200 after purchase to "find the issue." Please. Don't buy a car here. The salesman was sneaky and only wanted to profit for himself. I feel like an idiot.

We shopped vehicles at dealerships from Loveland to Golden. We told every sales person at each dealership my exact same list of needs. I live in Evergreen and can not travel without a 4x4 or AWD. I told the sales person at your dealership several times I needed a 4x4 or AWD with low miles, a third row seat and that I had 15k to spend. I gave examples of a Tahoe, Yukon, Ford etc. HE suggested a GMC Acadia. We were not familiar with this vehicle so we asked several times if it was AWD he said "yes". I bought the car and soon learned when purchasing insurance that the car was in fact a FWD. I was angry and called the General Manager Mike Absher who basically blew me off telling me it came "as is" and invited me to file a complaint with the dealership board. Since "as is" for me was AWD, I filed a complaint with the board and promptly hired a lawyer. My lawyer and I called Mike several times but were forced to leave messages. Mike did not have the courtesy to call back either me or my layer to deal with the situation. He had his sales manager, Matt call who did offer to exchange the vehicle for something similar. I told him if he had an Acadia at a similar price with AWD I would take it. He said there was nothing in stock. I have filed a complaint with VISA to charge back the amount on my visa stating misrepresentation. I have spoken with the Dave Tulman at the dealership board who is helping me open an investigation.

I would never recomend this dealer to anyone. My sister has been a loyal customer for years, in fact, she was employed there for a number of years as a service consultant. She took her Acadia in for warranty work and for some minor body work shortly after Christmas. They completed the warranty repairs and parked it outside, with the sunroof open and one window down. Then came the snowstorm, about 8 inches worth. Filled the inside of the vehicle with snow. First they tried to hide the fact they left it outside during a blizzard, then they tried to tell her they could "dry it out". You can't dry out damage this bad without disassembling the vehicle. They did not. They are offering no resolution. They returned the vehicle to her with the nasty stench and told her they will have their upholstery man evaluate it. Obviously the mold has already started to grow, hense the smell. This should be treated as a flood damaged vehicle. These guys definatly suck! Stay away from here at all costs!

I am super disappointed in the Kia service department, I have a brand new 2013 Kia Sorento and I'm having a problem with the mood light not turning off. I have a tight schedule and cannot wait at the dealership to get this fixed. I asked if I could schedule an appointment to get someone to look at it right away and if it had to stay at the dealership I wanted a loner. I was told no there was no appointments and Kia does not do loners. If I knew the service department was going to be this bad, I would have NOT bought a Kia. This is a 2013 model less than 6 months old with a 100K/10year warrantee that I paid extra for. Now I have to take time off work costing me money to get this fixed and maybe rent a car if its going to be more then a day.
Very disappointed customer! Not sure if I would buy another Kia after this experience or recommend Kia to any friends or family.

Horrible experience. The guy basically said I couldn't afford anything in the lot for $10,000. In fact didn't even show me one vehicle in that price range and showed me a few above it instead. Said he had nothing else to show me and I should look on Craigslist. I went to Car/Max and will be buying from them instead.

Lost the keys to my car so I had them make another.
On the phone it was going to $37 to get me a key.
When I got there they charged me the $37 and then added on $40 to get the key number. The $40 was never mentioned to me until i was handed the bill.
I took the key they made home and tried to get in the car, it would not unlock the door so I went back and they made me another key it didn't work either.
I tried to get a refund but was refused and told that they 'sold me what they had promised' I was not promised a worthless key that would not unlock or start my car.
I paid a locksmith to come and make me a key. He made a key that was very similar to what the dealer gave me and explained that the dealers machine was not set up right and that the cuts in the key were in the wrong spot.
Luckily I paid with a credit card and my card issuer gave me a refund.
In short: I was ambushed with a $40 'lookup' fee and given a miscut key and then they refused to admit any mistake or offer a refund.
Stay away they will steal your money and then tell you it is your fault. Thieves.

I’m not usually one to leave such an awful review, but I cannot speak poorly enough on this location’s service department. I had a 2017 Sportage which had a 2.4L Theta II GDI engine with 75,000 miles that began having knock issues (a 2021 class action lawsuit was settled, finding Kia and Hyundai at fault for these engines catastrophically failing).
After my check engine light began flashing while driving causing me to break down on the side of the road, I eventually had it towed to Grand Kia and I was informed by Shane in service that the code miraculously cleared itself and that they would not work on my vehicle. I insisted that they keep my vehicle and diagnose it, and after being forced to pay $180 I was told there was no issue (the car “runs fine” with the code cleared).
It’s a shame, as my wife and I were considering purchasing our second Kia which we will no longer be doing. I’ve since traded in my Kia for a reliable Subaru and would encourage others to do the same.

After 6 months of waiting for an pre-ordered Kia EV6, i get a call saying i’ll need to re-order and hop in the back of the line. They had horrible communication throughout, and left me high and dry. They even tried to take my deposit. Horrible dealership

SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Bought a Jeep here in May, (it's Nov 1 now) and barely drove it. Put a total of 896 miles on it, just under 10mi/day avg. Never driven more than 20mi in a single sitting.
Out of the blue, it is now totally undrivable. Engine knocking and misfiring, rocking back and forth while it idles. Cannot make it out of the driveway.
Call here to get a service appt and explain the situation and the mechanic tells me "well uh, this is a Kia dealership, we don't really work on Jeeps." And suggested I take it elsewhere.
Not sure why they sell jeeps if they don't work on them, but that certainly makes sense if they missed such a catastrophic issue before selling me a $30,000 paperweight.
Stay away from these con artists AT ALL COSTS!!! If they were the last dealership on the planet, I'd buy a bicycle.

Can the GM please contact me. Terrible experience and need assistance
Lee Kirby
Bought a car from here didn't drive it 5k miles yet, only been 9 months after purchas and it can't pass emissions test. After telling the service center the issue it would have been 170.00 to just look at it not even fix the problem. Would never recommend this dealer ship to anyone.

If you enjoy being lied to and treated like trash then this is the place to be! We took our Kia Soul here last summer to get our catalytic converter and oil pan replaced since the original had failed. After spending almost $3,000 and waiting over a month we received the vehicle back and Shane the service tech told us all work had been completed. A few weeks later after losing high amounts of oil we took it to Big O Tires to get an oil change and they told us the oil pan had not been replaced. When we called Shane he told us the new oil pan had just come in even though he told us all work had been completed nearly a month ago. This is also after he told my wife it’s normal for cars to go through 4 quarts of oil a week! Nearly a year later the new replaced converter started failing again so after taking it to Foundation Kia in Wheat Ridge and waiting a week they sent the car back to Grand Kia only for Jim the service manager and his techs to tell us that we were basically out $3,000 because we had gone over the 12,000 mile warranty so we would need to buy a whole new catalytic converter and get a new engine as well since it was what probably caused the failure! From the start of every conversation the tone of each employee was condescending and aggressive. When I asked the service tech Randy for the service manager after he carelessly told me that I was screwed and that Foundation Kia was too scared to tell me, he reluctantly put me through to Jim who also could have cared less about my concerns and frustrations and said my only recourse would be to complain to Kia Customer Affairs. I know they will hide behind their depressing corporate warranties as their excuse but honestly my frustration came from how disrespectful and callous they were to me and my family who were just asking for help and guidance….

Prices online are not even remotely correct. The man who I talked to was immediately misogynistic and the whole thing seems slimey and sleezy. Don’t get excited about what they have online or don’t even waste your time looking

Wow, Grant in Service low quality of service is matched only by his poor disposition. 0/10 would not recommend this dealership for repairs Its worth the money to tow your Kia across town than to deal with this guy.

This is a story of how Grand KIA sold my RSVP first edition ev6 car to someone else. I have the vin number but not the car. I wonder what I can do with the vin number, definitely cannot drive it to work.
I started talking to Randy at Grand KIA about my RSVP on the first edition of the EV6. Randy basically has no knowledge about the first edition, so I have gone out of my way to give him whatever he needs. We were having a fine relationship. I mostly communicated through email and sometime phone. I prefer emails(because it keeps a record). Email communication was working fine for both of us.
I went on a long vacation after 3 years of covid. I told Randy about this and instructed that we keep communication through emails. On July 8th, without ANY prior emails from Randy or Grand KIA, Randy email me and told me that they sold my car to someone else. In the email, Randy specifically told me that he tried to communicate with me through phone, text and EMAIL. Though they did attempt to contact me through phone, I have never received an email until after they sold the RSVP car. I was not in the US. There is no way to receive phone call and I did inform Randy about my vacation. Nowadays, all emails are linked directly to phone so there is no way I would miss such an email. Still with benefit of the doubt, I went back and check all my emails communication in that time span and ascertained that I did not miss any.
I immediately sent a reply to Randy. Well, funny enough, Randy is super active with his email reply and continuing telling me that I have missed all communication and asked me to contact the sale manager, Andy. I gave Andy a call and ask what the case is. He said the exact same thing with Randy. I asked them to provide proof that I miss emails. Andy said that I should have proof already. Of course, I have it. That is why I gave Grand KIA a chance to prove that I am wrong since I might accidentally delete the email, but Grand KIA seems to take it in a completely different direction. Or might be they just don't care. Supply constraints they can do whatever they want. I am leaving it open here and willing to change all of this IF Grand KIA can provide proof that I have missed the emails that were meant to inform me about the sale of the RSVP car PRIOR to selling the car.
Well, there you go guys, this is my side of the story. I will let you be the judge of it.
What's next:
Andy claims to help me getting another EV6 soon. I asked if I can get a discount since they sold the RSVP car, he told me other places are selling 10k above asking price (playing the supply constraints power). As a matter of fact, I talked to 2 other dealership and they are promising to sell at MSRP. Peak KIA is one of them. I communicated that information to Andy and his final reply was: "Do you want to place this order or not?". Lol. What a power question!
P/s: On my end, I can provide screenshot of how emails are communicated between me and Randy. You know, all emails are stored.
