I have used DeFeo Kia since 2021 when I bought my Optima. There were 3 incidents where the oil plug was loose and it leaked out onto my driveway. The last time I brought it there, the pulley to open the hood was broken. I do not recommend this dealership. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's concerning to hear about the repeated issues with the oil plug and hood pulley, as this is not the level of service we strive to provide. We would like an opportunity to address these concerns directly and make things right for you. Please feel free to reach out at 732-994-7100 for your convenience so we can discuss further. Thank you.

I have a service plan that was sold as covering all services for the car for 3 years, from this same dealership. However, it turns out the plan only covers oil changes, and I was charged for the cabin air filter. So either the plan was a scam, or the service dept is charging for services that are included in my plan. Either way, I feel misled and/or ripped off.

We had Gonzo and he was amazing! He was very patient with me as I didn’t know what I was looking for. He showed me lots of great choices that matched the expectations I had set for the car I wanted. Gonzo ended up leading me to the car that was everything that I have wanted in a car! Such an amazing experience! 

Business response:

Thank you, Michelle! I'm glad about your fantastic experience with Gonzo at Sands Kia. It's great that he was able to guide you to the perfect car that matched your expectations.

I had a terrible experience purchasing a car from Montrose Kia. I found that the car had a coolant leak prior to purchasing so they assessed and said they fixed it so I moved forward and purchased it. When I got home, it was leaking a lot more so I asked if I could bring the car back in to have the issue addressed and the service manager said no, it was sold as-is and the dealership leadership team did not want to talk to me. They would not stand behind the work they performed so I had to have another reputable shop fix the ... read more
