    Iyanna is Great!!! Leadership is hot trash!!! 09/15 - I called the dealership on Monday... talked and texted the service writer Iyanna... about the vehicle and the at the check engine light was on again... we decided to bring the car to the dealership so I brought the car and parked it Tuesday night outside the service entrance ... I came back Wednesday morning and brought the key... I went on to work ... called back and talked with Iyanna and she heard our heartburn about the car cutting of suddenly and check engine light being on again. I asked to speak to the Service manager ... a man picked up, I confirmed that he a was indeed the service manager Ron Toellen... I proceeded to give him our heartburn...Ron tells me about a March recommendations and what we didn't get fixed.... Our conversation became elevated and a little combative... because I asked questions and he gave answers...we agreed to disagree on many... I asked for him to tow the car on Kia.. he said No... I talked about rentals... He said no... and basically told me he was with a customer and dismissed me...he said, 'I can't do nothing for ya unless the vehicle is here.... At this point, I request to speak with the GM Mario King...Ron assured me that I would not be speaking to Mr. King. I was, least to say, astonished that the Service manager would not at least allow me to speak to the person he reports to. So I went directly to Riverchase kia website and submitted a 'speak to the GM' chat request. I put my concern in the chat and the responder assured me that my communications will be passed along. 09/16 - On Tuesday... we change of plans ... I had my wife pick me up from the dealership... while waiting in my vehicle for wife to arrive , I decided to go inside and to speak with the GM ... the receptionist informed me that he was not in.. she ended up taking my name and number.... And asked me the why... I provide the information that she requested and I told her I wanted to talk about my disappointment with the way repairs have been... I sent Iyanna a text requestion that they complete the diagnostics... 09/17/- No communication as diagnostics was being completed. 09/18 - Wife gets a call Thursday... she couldn't answer ...there was a voicemail left by Ron or Iyanna for wife to call back. 09/19 - Friday, wife calls back and speaks to Ron, he took the opportunity to scold her about her driving the number of miles on the car and tells her again that we didn't do the recommendations in March.. tells her that we need to pay an additional $700 for diagnostics ONLY... to remove the manifold and tell us if it is mechanical or electrical... or I'll charge you a $50 day storage fee... 09/20 - Saturday ... I was hoping Ron wasn't working ... we came to get there car... I think Iyanna felt my energy after seeing Ron... who talked crazy to me and my wife this week... I asked the parts guy how to file a formal complaints... he responded as best he could...I said some things to the young man that shouldn't because it wasn't his issue and apologized because it wasn't this part guy's efforts that I was upset... I decided to exit the building... and help my wife transfer items... thankfully she pull away... however, I then decided I wanted to file a formal complaint ... I went back apologized To the parts guy again... I approached Iyanna again.. I asked for a formal way to make sure that this is documented. She provided me the Kia customer service number. At this point I wanted to file a formal complaint and have it documented. While I was discussing Ron's performance to Iyanna, Ron inserts himself into the conversation by introducing himself. I responded by telling him, that he is getting what he wants today, and that he will be losing a customer today. He and I got into an elevated tone conversation, while he was assisting someone in their car. I said what I needed and wanted to say to Ron. Ron attempted to kick me of the premises and to call the police. I implored him to call Birmingham or Pelham .... As I would wait for them to arrive. Ron told me I should be embarrassed to which I responded that I not embarrassed and will not allow another man to be disrespectful or dismissive to my wife.

    I called the service dept and explained what happened with my car, they said they could repair it, "no problem." After getting nowhere with texts and voicemails requesting an update, I went by the dealership 11 days later and my car was still in the same spot had been towed to. No one had even looked at it yet. I asked to speak with a manager who asked if I could give him 50 minutes to diagnose the problem. Without even looking at it, he felt it was probably a fuse. It still took 4 more days before they called back to say it was fixed. This "no problem" repair cost me $788.11 to replace an $87 fuse (not to mention over $600 for two weeks rental car fees). The people I spoke to were all friendly but the labor time and overall turn around time is grossly unacceptable.

    Service team that won't help you at all and refuse to bring the manager out
