I've been coming to Kia of Glendale for the last 3 years, and every time, they don't disappoint!…read moreThis is my second review but truly if I wrote a review for every 5-star experience I've had, I'd dominate the reviews.
This year's visits were especially frequent, with emergencies like replacing tires and fixing my brakes, on top of getting my regular service. I swear I'm not the worst driver on earth, but even if I was, I know I'm getting star service . They make sure I'm seen quickly and efficiently every time. Despite surprise emergencies, they follow through with great service, even as walk-ins!
I usually work with Juan or Rod in the service department.
Juan: 15/10 for fast service and making me feel like a VIP. He answers calls/texts quickly and finds ways to help, even when I'm in a pinch. When my tires were worn out (twice), Juan got me in that same day. I appreciated this so much, especially when I told him I was leaving for a trip that day! He always shows me videos of what's wrong so we can discuss a game plan for repairs. He explains costs upfront before they start, so I'm never surprised by crazy charges. When I come for service, he's very transparent and walks me through what might need fixing outside the regular service, and what we can probably wait on. If you're looking for kindness, efficiency, and honesty, Juan will take good care of you.
Rod: Rod was very helpful and able to get me in the same day when my brakes were shot. He was just as transparent, providing images and videos. When we found out my brakes needed more work than expected, he checked in first to see if I was comfortable proceeding. Super communicative and excellent service! Even if my appointment is with Juan, Rod always says hi and checks in with me!
Alia (Finance): Alia is a homie! She's always friendly and remembers her customers, even if interactions are brief. Given how often I've come in recently (wah wah), she's made sure to offer options so I don't break the bank. She also gets your car ready right when you're checking out, so there's no wait. AND when the weather's bad (weird rain and heat waves?!), she quickly calls the shuttle so I can go home (I live nearby) and hang out with my dogs instead of waiting in the lobby.
If I could give Kia of Glendale 10 out of 5 stars, I would. It's the first place I don't show up nervous, expecting surprise charges I'm unsure about. I know I'll always be greeted with friendliness, honesty, and excellent service
