    New 2019 Kia Optima
    Dana P.

    Sine I bought my first new Kia in '15 from JTs Kia, I knew I would never buy a car from them again and went straight to Galeana. Jts gave me nothing but problems. After 3 years I FINALLY brought my old '15 car to Galeana Kia and they impressed me big time. It was nice to have someone FINALLY listen to me, and not only believe me instead of thinking I'm crazy, but work to FIX the issue my car was having instead of blowing it off. I was very impressed. So when I got in a wreck in 2019 and needed a new car, I knew I only wanted another Kia Optima. I loved my first one. And I went straight to Galeana. My salesman was great- he knew everything about the car and was extremely patient when I asked tons of questions about the car and about the price and about the warranties, etc. Even when I told him I was going to go look around at Carmax he was super polite and never once got pushy or rude about it. I was at Carmax maybe 10 minutes before I went right back to Galeana and bought a brand new '19 Kia Optima. Can only say great things about this place!

    Technically, my recommendation is largely directed towards one employee named LeVarus Reaves. I will be the first to admit that I typically drive from Columbia SC to Kia of Augusta GA because in previous years, my experience with Galeana KIA was below average, well below average. A few months ago, I had an emergency situation and couldn't risk driving to GA so with hesitation, I visited Galeana KIA on Greystone Blvd. With low expectations and high anxiety, I walked in and happened upon LeVarus and just like that, he managed to ease my anxieties. Due to previous dealings with this dealership, I truly had very little faith that my issue would be resolved or that I wouldn't be grossly overcharged. LeVarus carefully explained the issue, reviewed the diagnostics with me, answered my many questions, and most importantly, he exhibited a level of compassion lacking in so many others. Fast forward, my KIA was experiencing serious issues while I was traveled for work, it was getting dark, wooded area with no road lighting, and my car was in distress. I immediately called KIA and thankfully, LeVarus was on the other end of phone. He literally spent 10 minutes talking me off a ledge, calmed my anxiety, and stayed on phone with me until I was in a safer location. He kindly offered to remain on the line until I made it home but here's the good part, the dealership was closing and I couldn't make it there in time but he was willing to stay late to stay on the phone with me to ensure my safety. Let's be honest, there aren't too many people willing to sacrifice their Saturday night, even a short 30-45 minutes to stay on the phone with a distressed driver but he didn't hesitate to make the offer. I've taken my fair share of business classes and one thing is very clear to me, a company's greatest assets are its employees. Sadly, the phenomenal, hard working, and compassionate individuals are often overlooked but I refuse to let LeVarus' good deed go unnoticed! I'm indebted to him for calming the fears of terribly frightened woman traveling along dark roadways at night. I vividly recall his words, "You will make it home safely!" and he just kept repeating the phrase until I joined him which ultimately helped to both distract and calm me. In the end, my engine seized but I was close to home. In LeVarus, Galeana truly has an invaluable asset, please uplift him for going above and beyond. Thank you.

It felt like they weren't interested in listening to my concerns or offering any real assistance. The staff was unresponsive and unhelpful, which set a bad tone for the entire process. The quality of the repair work was shockingly poor. The car was returned with visible flaws, like misaligned panels and a paint job that didn't match the rest of the vehicle. It seemed rushed and sloppy, as if no care was put into ensuring a proper fix. When I raised these issues, they were dismissive, giving excuses instead of taking responsibility. Moreover, the timeline for repairs was much longer than promised, and the lack of communication made it worse. I was left in the dark for days, having to constantly chase updates. They didn't seem to prioritize my vehicle or my time. Overall, Bowen's Collision failed in both service and repair quality, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking for reliable or professional service. paint drpping who's paint the car I think he's don't know anything but paint car body filler putty on all the edges . Broken the rear door lock too many issues I wish I can give less than one star bad bad bad body shop . I wish stay with GARBIS body shop and never try Bowen's

    First let me say as a US Army retiree I am thrilled this service is available on post for our…read moreService members and retirees. I am retired Army and in town on a vacation. I scheduled a tire balancing and rotation. When I arrived I was the only customer present and there were 4 techs and the manager present. I watched them raise my truck and remove the drivers side tires. They immediately just swapped them without balancing. I informed the manager who addressed the issue and it was corrected. (I wont mention most folks would crisscross four wheel dive vehicles when rotating) While waiting I agreed to a cleaning of the fuel system. The manager then came to me and told me the tires were dirty on the rims and that once that dirt came out the balancing would have to be redone. I asked him why they were not cleaning inside the rimes and he said we don't do that. I told him it is a complete waste of time and money to balance the tires with the dirt on the rim. I had never heard of that being done and back in Iowa that would never happen. He apologized for the issues, I cancelled my fuel work as I would not be able to trust their future work. The manager was apologetic and made it all "right" when the bill came, which was nice. I have to admit although this branch is on post I won't be returning to any Firestone Auto Care facility anytime soon.
