    DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE FOR REPAIRS!!!!! We leased a BRAND NEW Kia Telluride through Elgin, and brought it in for repair a couple months later when the cluster screen went black. Once we received the car back, we started noticing error messages coming on in the car. We took it back to Elgin Kia, and they held our vehicle "repairing it" for around 50 days....YES 50! My wife and I can see when the doors are open or engine is started on the Kia app, and I can tell you they rarely worked on it over those 50 days, it became laughable when we would get a notification that the doors were open. After getting the car back finally close to 2 months later, we noticed error lights coming on yet again, so decided to take it to Kia Schamburg for another opinion. Kia Schamburg was absolutely *HORRIFIED* by the shady work Kia Elgin did here on a 2024 Kia Telluride. Kia Schamburg said they've never seen anything like the shady work Elgin did. Well...the reason the error lights were coming on in the first place after fixing the cluster screen, is not any other issue other then Kia Elgin completely destroyed our car in the process. High pressure fuel line not secure, ground for engine not secure, multiple coolant leaks, high pressure fuel line is pressing on coil pack, bracket not bolted into motor...See the photos of Kia Elgin's work!!! I couldn't believe that we had trusted Elgin Kia to the point where the other dealer said we're surprised your car didn't catch on fire already. Everyone from the other Kia dealer, to Kia Consumer Affairs and Better Business Auto Line is on our side here, and are currently making it right with other options when Elgin Kia failed to. I highly advise avoiding this shady business.

    Special thanks to Reanne Miller at Kia Elgin. If you're looking for a Kia (any model) contact her. After buying a Telluride in December 2021 from Classic Kia in Waukegan I was in the market for an EV and this dealership in Elgin was one of the few selling at MSRP (when everyone else was price gouging for thousands over sticker) and my experience with her was awesome! She is honest, up-front and responsive even on her day off. Thanks Reanne! You're the best!!

I flew from Minneapolis to pick up, and the entire buying process being sight unseen could have been a lot more stressful if not for her.

Update. After a month to get the email to set it up the thing doesn't even work it shows my car in the same location for a week and a half even no matter where my car is it always shows it by my house. I went to the dealer shop spoke with bob the general manager he tells me you can't remove it cause it's wired into the car then tells me it can't be replace for one that works. They won't remove it to give me my money back but will replace it. I talk to the tech for Karr and he tells me it's not wired into my car they just hid it. My was in the glove box this whole time. And they lied and said if your car gets stolen and they can't recover it karr pays you 20k that's a lie it pays what ever your insurance don't cover towards your loan up to 20k.

I called an my service advisor told me the work had to be done; sent me an invoice for cost and as I had a trip scheduled; I said do it. And that's when it all fell apart. 1. Part of the work was under warrantee, he wasn't aware of at first. 2. Then he told me they could not make repairs due to not having the parts. 3. Then it changed to he couldn't get car in because service team had the next 2 days off, 4. Then it was the car wouldn't be finished as the silicon had to harden. 5. I asked if I could make a 1400 mile trip with the car as it was, and he was like sure thing. Needless to say, I left feeling unsafe to be driving that distance and so I rented a car. It nagged at me~ did the car need immediate action? I called when I returned from my trip and spoke to Rich the Service Manager. He listened to my concern ; I had left with my car not having been repaired and I no longer felt safe driving it. More importantly I no longer had confidence in Brilliance Subaru. Rich stepped in and stepped up. He explained everything and listened to my concerns about "immediate action required". I told him, as a woman who does long distance driving~ any kind of driving, it's more dangerous if I break down on the tollroad. I need to feel safe in my care. I need my service advisor to tell me the truth about my vehicle and my safety. Rich made sure all the repairs were done and that my car was working. He apologized for the miscommunications, and I left feeling "safe". Brilliance fixed my car, explained it all, and I left on my next long distance trip in my own car, not a rental and it performed amazingly.

    Just to add a bit to my review, I have to say that Sam went above and beyond what I expected in…read moreservice. There was a small issue we wanted fixed before we closed the deal. Sam asked if we could wait until after the Christmas holidays and that was fine. Then, there was a mix up with contacts and the emails and texts I sent weren't returned. I grew increasingly frustrated. Finally, I called a different number, talked to Sam in person, and he not only apologized profusely for the communication problem, but also did more than we expected to resolved the original issue. A swing and a miss, but then a home run. Sam also was kind enough to have the car sent down to the Elgin office to close the deal, so we wouldn't have to go back up to Waukegan for it. Good folk to deal with. I counted up the cars I've purchased in my long life. It's 27 for me and my family. This was one of the most seamless and satisfying experiences. That there were a couple of glitches wasn't as important as that they were remedied immediately.

The salesperson generally seemed confused and untrained, and lied claiming that it was in good running condition. The car catastrophically overheated and broke down. Upon getting it towed to my mechanic, over $2000 of repairs are needed to just make it safe to drive. The manager was dismissive and asked me "what do you want me to do?" and offered me no respectable viable compensation for the headache. The $200 check he offered isn't going to make a dent in the $1100 I've already spent on tires and battery and the $2000 more I will be spending to repair a portion of it. Buyer beware.
