They harass you. They call you up the next day and they keep calling. I test drove the AWD Sportage. I felt every miniscule bump in the road. The road looked flat, but the car ride was uncomfortable even in the short drive. The passenger side is strange. You have to sit side saddle.

Was in to get my car fixed service department told me i needed a new battery and battery cable for $560 i decided to take my car somewhere else where it was much cheaper and it ended up being the alternator so i ended paying this place $75 for a wrong diagnostic and it seems that my battery is in great shape. Not the first time i had a bad experience with this place never again will i buy a vehicle here.

Disappointed by the lack of knowledge and service. Shuffled between three different people, all of which were unaware of a sales price on a car. One quoted higher, the other lower. They needed to look up the information on their phone to find the actual sales price. Even worse, they strung us along with praises for our trade-in and reasonable offers that we could give that management would consider. Spent hours waiting, then stopped by to offer the price the salesperson said would be considered only to be lectured by the main manager on how our trade-in was worth pennies and we were way off from making a deal. Classic bait and switch. What a waste of time. Not recommended!

Never ever take your KIA to the service department. Had work done at Firestone and they had to take my SUV over there for a reset. 24 hours later when Firestone called there were told by the person who answered the phone, they did not work yesterday and had no info and did not have the time now. The firestone person asked if he could be talked to as a customer. Needless to say went and took my SUV out of there and now looking to find someone to have it fixed. Good luck there

They lost my wheel lock key and basically put the blame on me. We'll see what happens when I confront them face to face.

Slimey scumbags, typical sales man wanted to thank me for my military service, and low ball me 15k on the same breath. They are condescending and disrespectful to veterans. They don't know Jack about a Duramax. Don't walk run like hell away from this place. Predatory to the point of harassment, had to block them on email and phone. Creeps really tried to take advantage of me and my family on veterans day.

Just a day after purchasing a vehicle from them, first off our salesman told us the truck we wanted was around 40 ok great and he said i'll get the exact price and let you know, we kept asking what the price of the truck was and he said let me run your paperwork and we can talk numbers, he came back to us with 44995 we said wow that really jumped up there, second we had our truck appraised at another dealership and they were going to do a trade in value of 35000 which and grand buick they offered 33000 I get it, it has high miles, but if one dealership can offer me more than you guys why can't you match it as well? We tried negotiating the price of the truck strictly told them what our budget was, there was no budge whatsoever!!! When it came signing the papers we were told we are paying for 6 year 100000 mile power train warranty well its a brand new truck shouldn't that be included anyways! so jumping from 805 to 867 after warranty that we were told were already included by our salesman that was a big shocker! What really makes me mad is I trusted you were trying to break us a deal, I found the same truck with the same vin number you guys were advertising it for 39545 and you said you could not go any lower than 44995 that you sold it to me! You guys are misleading false advertising liars! You bet i'll be cutting this deal quick and to think I was going to purchase a second vehicle with you guys is really upsetting!

Horrible services department. No one communicates with anyone so every time I called about my vehicle, no one knew what was going on. Got a call saying my car was ready so went in and then told me to wait 30 minutes so that they can charge my hybrids dead battery and run a full cycle. Why call me when the service is still ongoing?! Love Kia's, HATE this dealership. Will never come back.

We recently went to the Kia dealership here and it was the worst experience at a dealership that I've ever had. The Kia Manager, Art Hille, is extremely rude and above all he is a liar. I would never recommend this place to anyone, except my worst enemy. Art Hille lies and don't believe a word he says, then he tries to intimidate you over the phone when you complain about his lies! Don't shop at the Kia part.

What a nightmare of a car buying experience. I would not wish the headaches I received at this dealer on anyone. You can definitely find a better deal elsewhere at a much more professional dealership.

Felt like a sleazy car dealership. I went in to look at some trucks and feel-out the sales staff while planning for my next car purchase. Was greeted by a stereotypical sale person in a very aggressive fashion. Not picking up on my body language that I was not there to buy a car that day, I plainly stated, I am not buying a car today. The tone did not change. There was pressure: to take a test drive, what monthly payment are you looking for, what color, my I have your phone number to follow-up? All these things asked when I repeatedly told the guy, no, not now. It ended with me asking for his contact information, I would call him if I wanted to do business with him. He lead me into the sales building to a desk where he wrote on the back of someone else's business card and introduced me to his sales manager, whom I also told I did not want to buy a car. The whole experience lead me to the furthest GMC dealer I could find to eventually purchase a truck.

Nothing was done to the truck- had the truck for a week , they said could not replicate the noise that was coming from drivers front wheel when making left turn. when I came to get the truck back I told manager to stand outside when I was backing out... he said they will order parts and let me know when they come in, its been over a week and I have not herd anything.

For starters, working with Tony wasn't the best experience. He didn't do things that we asked and actively and obviously side stepped our requests for personal gain. I know car salesmen work on commission from both the sale and the financing, but we had repeatedly negotiated a sub 5 interest rate and he would just leave and come back 30 minutes later with a 6 or high interest rate. Then we'd negotiate to a point of a monthly payment of $200, then literally 30 seconds later he writes down $205 and my wife and I just look at each other puzzled, but not wanting to argue any further. His negotiating tactics were insulting. Like when he said "You guys make good money. You can afford it." I wanted to scream when he said that. We have a lot of medical debt and we shouldn't have to explain that to him as to why we want to stay within our budget. Second, we had to have the battery replaced and the seat motor replaced. It was supposed to be a day, then it turned into two, then it turned into 6. We had a loaner SUV which we didn't want but my wife had expressed interest in test driving it and Tony was trying to make another sale so I drove it all week with way worse MPG than the hybrid we bought driving 100 miles a day. He promised us several gas cards to make up for it after my hybrid was delayed several more days. However, I still haven't seen those despite talking to several people about them. Third, we had to drive back in just to sign a Credit Union credit application and couldn't do it by fax. We didn't even need it after all either for out financing. once there, we asked about my car and it was ready. Why didn't anyone call us earlier? If we hadn't asked, we wouldn't had to drive all the way back the next day. Finally, the SRS light was on since the moment I picked it up. I had to google it to see what it meant. I immediately responded to the email I got from Heather Stolls in the service department saying let us know if you have any problems. I never got an email back from here. I've tried calling all the different 800 numbers in the email and on their website and everyone of them gave me a robotic voice saying you have to configure your phone system. I finally found a 720 number online that got through. I talked to 4 people before getting to Heather who wouldn't acknowledge that she never replied to my email. I told her what is wrong and she told me I'd have to bring it to Ford and the soonest they could get me in is in 5 days on Monday. I said fine I'll bring it in Monday after work. When I got there, he said it was schedule for Monday morning. No one ever told me that. So, I had to leave it with them for two days to get it fixed. This whole experiencing has been taxing. The only good part is the car which is a Ford. Terribly organized. Rude sales tactics. They don't hold to their word. And I still haven't gotten the gas cards!

If I could give negative stars I would. In Dec 2014 I purchased a 2013 GMC Yukon. Which was a somewhat positive experience. However later I found out that it had been in 2 accidents. I asked to see the carfax when I was there only to be told that they could not bring it up. Should never had bought it. They new it had been in accidents. Recently I tried to trade it in because of the accidents and the value was nothing because of the Carfax. They would not even take it back as a trade. They are crooks and lie to everyone. Finally I was able to trade and called to get my extended warranty refund back only to find out they do not refund unless the car was in a accident. THAT WAS NEVER TOLD TO ME! Terrible people do not buy a car from them.

I had a 2011 Kia Optima Turbo which I was selling. I called Grand Auto, where I bought the car, to ask them if they might be interested in purchasing it from me. They said they would like to take a look at it; I made an appointment with them for a few days later; someone from the dealership called me on the day and confirmed my appointment. All good so far. I drove up there, about a 30 minute drive for me. I go in the showroom, where I was ignored at first. Then a salesman approached me and asked "have you been helped?" I said NO, and he proceeded to go on his way doing something else, completely ignoring me - it was as if I wasn't even there. WHY did he even bother to ask me if I had been helped yet, he obviously had no intention of helping me. A second salesman came in the showroom and asked me if I had been helped. Again I said NO, and the second salesman did the same thing! Then a third man came out of the sales office and asked me if he could help me. I told him why I was there, that I had an appointment, etc. He goes back into the office and talks to some people in there for a few minutes, then he comes back out and tells me they are NOT INTERESTED in even looking at my car. I was FLOORED - I drove all the way up there for NOTHING!!! I have never been treated so disrespectfully by a car salesperson, EVEN at a used car dealership! I don't know what has happened to Grand Auto - when I purchased the car from them in 2010 from Tree King (shoutout to Tree) I was very pleased. But I'll never go back to that dealership. I LOVED my Optima and I intend to purchase another one, hopefully sooner than later - but this time I'll go to MedVed or Peak instead. Grand Auto has lost a customer permanently.

We went in on May 5th to have our mileage verified for the reimbursement program, we asked them to do it when we dropped out kia off for an oil change. When we picked it up, we asked if they had verified it, and they said yes. We call on June 2nd to find out they never did it, nor did they tell us they dropped the ball. We spoke with Matthew Powell in the service department who assured us it would be handled that same day, but as of June 8th, they have still failed to do so. We spoke with Matthew again on June 8th, who assured us he would do it again, but its been over a month, and we have now asked 3 separate times. Each time we ask to speak with a supervisor they are "unavailable". If the service department cannot handle a simple milage verification, I have serious doubts that they are capable of handling anything more complicated, like repairs. This has become very frustrating, and we will be taking our business to another dealership.

Wow this place is a mess. Sales managers are awful financing is 10X worse gave the girl my year to date which was in May and went over with her that the half a year would not end till the middle of June at which time I would be at 20k then the 2nd half of the year at 20k which would put me at 40k with no other debt other then a rent payment of 650 she said I could not qualify for a 300 payment because somehow in basic math she was saying I was only going to be getting 33k all year? And this was after sending my YTD and paystubs they keep trying to move you to a lower and lower vehicle with a HIGHER AND HIGHER interest rate honestly you'd be better off going to a buy here pay her. They killed my fico score because of sending it to a million banks SERIOUSLY CHECK BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING!!!!

If I could give lower I would. This dealership and their general manager Timothy Bottoms could use a few tips on customer service. A lease buyout should not take 4 hours to complete, especially when an appointment is made and our expectations were explicitly given ahead of time. After weeks of Grand Kia "customer care reps" calling to get us in to take care of the expiring lease we finally made the decision and set an appointment. My son came from Fort Collins, and I came from Littleton to buy out the lease. After getting the loan approval, we had to wait for the final contract. Which took 3 hours!!!!!! I understand that as business you cannot foresee the volume if walk in customers. However, not once did we receive an update on the process or what we were waiting for. Then, as I am expressing my frustations the General Manager, Timothy Botttoms told us we didn't have to buy from them and he had other customers to consider. I am insulted and infuriated by Mr. Bottoms' pejorative manner and arrogance. Since I was there to help my son through this I deferred to him on leaving and going somewhere else. I urged him to leave, but he was so exhausted with the incompetence and careless attitudes and didn't want to go through all this paperwork at another dealer, so we stayed. I will NEVER do business with Grand Dealership or Timothy Bottoms again!
