    We would have selected zero stars if able. We have purchased 2 cars from this dealership prior, we like our Kia's and the service was decent then, not so much now. We made appointment for service and were told it was a $169 diagnostic cost. We went in to service department were not asked name, time of appointment or anything. They seemed bothered by our presence. The service person was shown prior diagnostic codes coming up on the car and we were told: "we can't use those, we do our own", ok I understand that, the "it's not under warranty anymore", which we knew, "are you the original owners?", which if you cared to as our names or anything you could look it up and then "did you buy the car here?, again if you asked our name or looked it up that would be documented. Left the car for diagnostic for the $169 to then me called back next day that we owe almost $380 dollars for 2 hour diagnostics and service charge!!! We were NEVER told it's an hourly rate. When asked service personnel they stated "yeah, we should have clarified". We would have NEVER had them take a look at the car. Husband called the service manager 3 times and always a voice mail. Also Kia of Joliet is a flat rate 169.99 for diagnostic NOT hourly! Or McGrath of Highland park $179.99 for diagnostic. Hmmm, Well played Hawkinson, Avoid using service department at this dealership!

    Look no further this is definitely the dealership to checkout, the service from salesman Thomas Hogan for my Daughter's purchase was outstanding... He's not only good looking but very understanding, straightforward with the details.. no foolishness.. You feel me - you qualify cool - you don't, you just don't... No time wasting here... Just riding out in style from exceptional service not just for that one service but I witnessed a previous customer stop by and they washed their vehicle for No charge.. come on.. what.. That's Service

    See all

After several days with limited communication, we were told that diagnostic testing identified a coolant sensor issue as the cause. Based on that explanation, we approved the recommended repairs. On February 3, we were informed the vehicle was fixed and ready for pickup. We paid $1,180.55 before receiving the keys. However, immediately upon starting the vehicle in the dealership lot, it continued shuddering and shut off. The tire warning light we were told had been repaired was still on. We had to leave the vehicle as it was inoperable. The following day, we were told by the service manager that a full inspection had not initially been completed. Shortly after, the diagnosis changed to a transmission issue with an $8,000 replacement quote. The invoice indicates that no post-repair road test was performed before the vehicle was released to us as "repaired." The original issue was not resolved, and the vehicle remains inoperable. We encourage others to ask detailed questions, request written confirmation of repairs performed, and confirm that a post-repair road test has been completed before paying and leaving the lot. We feel completely scammed by this dealership! Stay away.

I'd say that part of the service is top notch. For at least a year now, every time I schedule any particular maintenance, whether oil change. Tire rotation, etc, which I schedule 2-3 weeks in advance, I'm harassed by the salesman Erik Garcia, or the sales minions at that dealership, "that it's time to upgrade." I always explain to them, "I'm a happy customer" or "you sold me a great product." Which is very much true in regard to the actual vehicle. A little over a month ago, I scheduled a routine oil change. As expected, I was bombed with text messages or phone calls about upgrading my vehicle. Each time, I explained, not only do I live on a fixed income of disability, but I'm also in chapter 13 bankruptcy and cannot get new credit without permission from my trustee. I also explained that with two years left to pay on my vehicle, I'm very happy with it. But of course after persistence, I did consider upgrading, only after I reached out to my bankruptcy attorney for guidance. My lawyer did explain a deal could be made. I didn't reach out immediately after that to the dealership. But they did reach out eventually, as they were ultra persistent on trying to make a sale. Over the phone, I explained, what do you need from me? Because I do not want to go into the dealership to waste my time. That process is the worst, if you ever experienced that. Erik said "I have everything, we just need you to come in and pick a car." I wasn't convinced about all that, and so I told him, I'll email you anything you need, salary, bank statements, driver's license etc. He then says I'll text you my email after this phone call, send me pay stub. This was at 2pm or so, with the idea, I'd be in the dealership at 6pm. I went to the dealership, meet with Erik. I filled out references, gave him my license so he could make copies. Gave him information on how I earned a living and other pertinent information. Then, for the next 75 mins a waited at a cubicle, no updates, no responses, nothing. The one thing I never wanted and would not agree to, was to waste my time! And sure enough, it happened. I walked out unannounced and without incident. Never received a follow up from Erik or the dealership. I texted Erik, plus another phone number associated to the dealership "Alex", about what happened. Got a response a day later from "Alex", who I don't know, apologizing and that they would reach out with numbers for me to consider a deal. I've yet to have heard from any of them with numbers. Here is the text I had with them the evening I left. Not a great sales experience.

An aggressive staff (Jeremiah) that refused to clarify why he did not point out that the air-bag light was on when I first brought the car in (because it was not on) but like a faulty robot on the following day kept repeating that I should buy a new car. This surely revealed why my car has been tampered with. This out-dated tactic of messing up a car that starts out needing a tune-up and ending up with a massive repair bill after an intensional "throwing a wrench into the works" so as to sell Gerald Nissan's new cars will not work with me.

After multiple visits and ongoing back-and-forth, the issue was never properly resolved. When I finally got my vehicle back, the driver-side door was working--but now the passenger-side door, which had no prior issues, no longer opens. At that point, it doesn't feel like a repair--it feels like the problem was simply shifted. Equally concerning was the lack of accountability and urgency from the service team. When you're paying for a service, you expect resolution--not a new issue. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location. Fixing one problem by creating another is not service--it's negligence.
