    Wire "repair"

    I came here for a motor replacement (under warranty). Edwin, the service advisor, told me I needed to replace my wiring harness and coolant hoses. To say the least, my car was in the shop for over a month with no communication from Edwin. We would call and leave voicemails but he never received any. During this time they replaced my ECU twice. When I finally got my car, he told me to let my battery charge on the drive home because it was off for a while... However, the battery was dead and I had to buy a new one. My alignment was also off, I was missing a car play device from my car, and had a coolant leak. I brought the car in again the following Monday. Where they proceeded to claim that the leak was not from a hose they replaced. Not even a week later my check engine came on, a misfire on cylinder 3. I took it to a trusted mechanic where he tested my coils and found that was the issue. We did the repair as it seemed to be maintenance. Two weeks later my check engine came back on with the same code. This time my fuel injector on cylinder 3 was clogged. Two days later, the same code. This time we could not find the problem since everything mechanically was good. Little did we know that the "repair" Kia did was the issue. My cables going into cylinder 3 were burnt... This is complete negligence from a "dealership" who charges insane amounts for this mess of a repair

    Paid close to $7000 in repairs engine light still came on after saying they checked my whole fuel system, vehicle not ready for smog red light on my obd, I took it to American tire depot in Lancaster and they fixed the problem for 5 times cheaper no more engine light and vehicle ready for smog

    Check engine code.

    Update: So I won't buy a car here. See previous. They are the only Kia dealership in town. So I take my Niro there on 7/16/24 because it has a check engine light on. First off it will be $220 to diagnose it, warranty or not. They say the code it was throwing was related to the recall that was done on it earlier in the year. I call the service advisor on 7/17 and she says they need to run some more tests and are in touch with manufacturer to see if it is recall related. Okay, cool, so far. Call again 7/18 and 7/19 no updates. Service advisor calls me at the end of the day on 7/19 and states that the hydraulic clutch and transmission are bad. She also says that it isn't covered under Kia's warranty and that it will be a customer pay (looking at the Kia app, my car hasn't been touched since 830 AM that day). I must have misunderstood what a power train warranty was. I informed the advisor that I have an extended warranty just in case this were to happen as well a stand alone warranty from the dealer I bought it from. The service advisor says "oh well I need the tech to make a list of parts and expenses and send them in to see if they will cover it". She says she will call me back the next day and hurries to get off the phone after I state unequivocally I will not be paying for that. That was days ago. I had already called Kia customer service before I talked to the advisor. They told me no determination has been made whether it was covered under warranty or not and they were still waiting for the tech at the dealership to perform testing and share the results. Kia also said I could take it to a different dealership if I would like and suggested I may want to do that. I went down today to get my gate clicker out of the car. No one had any updates (07/22). They had oily parts stacked in the back seat (leather seats). Bolts in the cupholders.

    $6100 markup! Bad business.

    Want people to buy local. Yet they are still marking the vehicles up and with useless aftermarket items. This vehicle had $6100 in additional pricing.

    Richelle helped me get into my brand new EV6! They gave me over what my trade in was worth and helped me through every step of the way! Cannot thank her enough and her perfect customer service. Thank you Richelle you were incredible to work with.. actually won me back in KIA. Thank you again!

    I'm very disappointed with my experience at this body shop in Simi Valley…read more My car was there for about a month for repairs. The actual repair work came out okay, but when I got my car back, the rubber molding around my sunroof was damaged and hanging down. I rarely, if ever, use my sunroof, and this was not an issue before I brought the car in. When I brought it to their attention, they denied causing the damage but offered to order the replacement molding for me. I agreed and paid for the part. When the part came in, I discovered it was the wrong color -- gray/white instead of black, which is what my car has. I returned the incorrect part and was told they would see if it could be returned and that I could get my money back. Now they are telling me they will not refund me and that I'm stuck with the wrong part and need to come pick it up. This entire situation has been incredibly frustrating. Every time I went in, I dealt with Rick, and I constantly felt like I was bothering him or wasting his time just by asking reasonable questions about my own vehicle and the issues I was having. Customers should not be made to feel that way, especially after leaving their car with a business for a month and spending money on repairs. At this point, I'm less upset about the part itself than I am about how poorly this situation has been handled. Good customer service means taking responsibility, communicating clearly, and working with the customer to resolve a problem. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience here. Just wanted to update you I did cancel the $78 on my credit card ridiculous that they want me to pay for the wrong part that they ordered. The owner Dino called me up he left a message saying that he's going to put me to collections and this will go on my permanent record. I got to say Dino it's got to be a huge loser to try to get collections for $78 I don't need any of your business anymore.

Check engine light came on my daily driven truck, he ran diagnostics told me what it was and advised me that my truck wouldn't pass smog that way but wouldn't effect overall performance and wouldn't waste more gas was just a matter of not passing smog. Said ultimately was my choice to fix it now or when the time came to renew registration and a smog was required. Drove it for about a year with the light zero problems and took it to him when I had more cash and the tags were up for renewal. This guy is legit! Prices are not cheap for the work he does but he does have the overhead of a shop so it's understandable. Plus you leave with peace of mind with warranty on all the work he does. You get what you pay for and Painter Transmission is worth every penny and dollar Felipe quotes you. Thank you Felipe!

    I've been going to Felipe for roughly about 19 or 20 years now. He's the last of the honest to God…read moretrans mechanics. He doesn't BS you and always gives you options. I've never had any issues with any of my classic cars he's worked on and believe me he knows classic cars very well. In Feb 2024 my Chevy Silverado blew the rear differential and I took it to Felipe. He recommended that since I needed to replace the 373 differential I should put in a 456 instead. It cost me a couple $$ more but boy am I glad I listened to him. My 2008 Chevy never towed or ran more efficiently and on less gas then it does now. To those 2 haters that left a bad review was probably cuz they didn't listen to his recommendations that he told them. I know this man he's honest a great family man a good religious man and is very meticulous of his work and ethics and is always appreciative of you bringing your car or truck to him. Thank you Felipe for always being there for me and helping the general public in driving away in their vehicles feeling safe and secure and always lives up to his warranties and promises. God bless you Felipe. Eddie B.
