I normally don't write reviews, but my experience with Kia Sons in McDonough, GA was so disappointing that I have to warn others. Any positive reviews about them on this page are clearly fairy tales, if they are about the service center. I will say the sales team is amazing, so only go to buy a car (ask for Quincy). But, never take it there to get fixed!!! I brought my car in because it was smoking and stalling; clear signs of an engine problem. I was also told by 2 other mechanics that would not work on it that it was an engine issue and to take it to a Kia. I paid $200 for a "diagnostic," only to later find out they never even removed the valve cover where the real issue was. So I paid for a half-done inspection and left with the same problem I came in with. When I returned a second time for the exact same issue, they still didn't identify the problem until after I approved additional repairs. Only then did they discover sludge in the engine, something that should've been caught from the start. Because of this delay, I was misled about the true cost of repairs and lost the opportunity to make an informed decision about whether to fix or replace my car. My warranty claim was denied because Kia couldn't provide the necessary engine code, even though the check engine light was on and the issue was clearly engine-related. I shouldn't have to pay for their communication failures. They also charged me for a "full tune-up" even though I already had new spark plugs. I was never given a proper explanation before paying, and then was told afterward that I "should've asked more questions." It's the service department's job to explain work clearly before charging customers. To make matters worse, my car was returned with an ant infestation and a new chip in the windshield. Their solution was to "bomb" the car for ants; no apology, no accountability. I'll attach a picture of the ants that I could get to group up. The rest are running free. The customer service made everything worse. The first "manager" I dealt with was unprofessional and dismissive, even mocking me when I said I had time to file complaints. I see her name in another complaint on this page and I am not surprised. She told me she "had time too." That's not how a manager should speak to a paying customer. She later offered me $200 off my next service to make things right, but now the dealership is taking that back as well. When I reached out again, another manager responded with a long, defensive email that ignored my concerns, excused every mistake, and failed to address the poor customer service or the damage done to my vehicle. Not one apology; just excuses. After spending hundreds of dollars, I was left with more problems than I started with, plus the stress and disrespect of dealing with people who clearly don't value their customers. And I absolutely love Kia and the Kia line. I wish someone at Kia corporate could save me from this defective vehicle and this defective service center. If you value your car, your time, and your peace of mind; stay far away from Kia Sons in McDonough, Georgia. This was the most frustrating and unprofessional service experience I've ever had in my life. Take your car to either Bellamy Strickland or All Automotive. I only had great experiences at these 2 establishments when I owned a Buick Enclave and when I owned a GMC Acadia. They did not take advantage of me as a woman, they provided excellent customer service, they did not have hidden and unnecessary fees, they did not keep my car for a million days to service it, and they always fixed the problem. -- R

No help worse experience with Kia. I've own a Kia for 10+ years.

ZERO STARS !! I wish I could give zero stars, but I came in at 5:30 getting off work on a Friday I get it. I thought they would be busy not telling me they close in 30 minutes and they can't do my oil change. I wouldn't recommend anyone go there because customer service is terrible. No one had a solution to a problem that would've took 30 minutes for them to complete. But I will tell all my fellow Kia driving to drive to morrow or Macon and not this location ever!!

They provided this quote. This is not from TrueCar. This is what they sent to me. The manager only keeps saying that he has to charge more.

DO NOT EVER GO OR TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP!!! They provide a quote & a confirmation that they have the vehicle, but when you get there after an hour of the confirmation, they will say that the car is already sold & they will not honour the quote they provided. The general manager will just keep saying that they will have to charge the dealership fee on top of the quote they provided. Because the price was good, I had to drive more than an hour to get there. Of course, I made sure that the car is available and the price is right before I left my house. THEY LIE!!!! Even if I put some deposit for a car, how can you trust them if they will not upcharge when the delivery happens? JUST DON'T GO THERE!! FULL OF SCAM!!

I'm highly pleased with the level of sales and service I received on my new car purchase. This is the place to go if you are looking for a new car. I have to say that they took very good care of me and they went above and beyond to gain my business and that I was very satisfied at the end. My sales person Evon Hinds made sure he was able to get my deal taken care no matter what. He was absolutely the best salesman ever, very knowledgeable and quick with the best buying experience. I must say that I will most definitely will recommend others to come and purchase a vehicle from here if you like Kia cars. Overall my experience was great. I bought a car, and the sales team members I dealt with were all very friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions and made sure I understood. They did not do any haggling and told me the truth about everything. Sons Kia is not the closest Kia dealership to me, but it was worth traveling the distance to make my purchase. Went in knowing what car I wanted, left with the car I really loved it. Only been driving it now for about three months and haven't had any further contact with the dealership yet other than just having my first oil change and free inspection. Everyone was very nice and I would recommend checking them out.

3.5 Stars....The good and the bad…read more I'll start with the good. I recently purchased a new truck from Legacy Ford, and I was very pleased with the staff. My saleswoman, Ashley, was very nice and professional. Everyone was very professional, and honestly this was the fastest I have ever been in and out of a dealership. So, after buying the truck, I get it home, and realize that there is a crack in the rear taillight. Well, Legacy fixed it, no issues, and the service department was very quick about it. Overall, the buying experience was spot on! Now, the bad..... So, the bad seems to be a common problem that several have had--regarding trade-in payoff. Now, I've purchased many vehicles, and have never known a dealership to take longer than 7-10 days to pay off a trade--so, I was little surprised when Legacy told me "30 days". I assumed they were giving me a "worst case" scenario.... Well, they weren't. When they say 30 days--they mean it, and maybe then some. Bottom line is this, if you're trading in a vehicle that has a current payment--be prepared to continue to pay on that vehicle, and the new one, for at least the next month (maybe longer according to some other reviews). This is not only frustrating, but can be financially straining, so it's something to keep in mind.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, Customer Service AFTER I purchased a vehicle. Countryside Ford f/k/a…read moreLegacy Ford was communicative and extremely nice BEFORE my husband and I flew from Louisiana to purchase a vehicle. AFTER the vehicle was purchased and the check engine light came on twice within 10 days of purchasing, countless calls went unanswered and voicemails went unreturned. We finally spoke with the General Sales Manager, whose name is forgettable considering his demeanor and horrible attitude. We informed the GSM of the check engine light issues, the diagnostic, and the cost of the repair, which amounted to $1,800.00, since the nature of the diagnostic would not be covered under warranty. The GSM attempted to blame my husband and I for the "damage" caused to the upper radiator hose that was about to fall off, missing spark plugs, missing clamps, a seal fuel injector needing to be replaced, and a bumper that was apparently removed at some point. After my husband and I questioned why he was trying to blame the customer for this damage, his response was, "Well, you are trying to blame me." Yes, my husband and I were blaming him considering his dealership SOLD US THE VEHICLE 10 days prior! The GSM then tried to say this damage could have been caused prior to Countryside receiving the vehicle and could have been overlooked by his best mechanic. If Countryside's "best mechanic" can overlook that sort of damage, the mechanic should no longer be employed. My assumption is the "best mechanic" caused this damage, did not want to admit fault, and concealed the damage since the vehicle passed inspection. The conversation ended because Countryside refused to accept accountability. The service manager at the dealership where my vehicle was repaired contacted the same GSM in an effort to retrieve payment so my husband and I would not be responsible for $1,800.00. The GSM was extremely rude and informed the service manager that this would be covered under warranty. The service manager informed the Countryside GSM that warranty would not cover this repair since this is human made damage and it does not involve defective parts. The GSM then said, "I am not participating in this" and hung up the phone. Now, my husband and I are out $1,800.00 29 days after we purchased this vehicle and there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY from Countryside. Overall, HORRIBLE customer service AFTER you purchase a vehicle.

2026 UPDATE: I wish Google allowed multiple reviews because my 1st experience & review in 2024 with…read morenissan was good, which is why I returned for the buyback program they repeatedly emailed me about. Unfortunately this experience WAS BAD. I'm giving 2 stars because I like the vehicle better than previous 1. However, the overall buying/follow-up experience was extremely frustrating. I dealt with George, as he was my salesperson in 2024. He couldn't be as hands on due to working w/ a customer that was being a tad difficult. He told someone else to help me who was ok but just did not give me the same sincere experience that George did and left. George stepped back in. The deal was completed but communication and attention to detail fell apart. I left without the extra key, manual, a missing floor mat, less than half a tank of gas and a car that had not been cleaned. I was told to return the next day to get those things. When I did, I waited over 40 minutes for George, only to eventually be told he had already left for the day (although they initially told me he was on lunch). Phillip gave some missing items but I knew I'd need to come back for the others. There was also a subsequent uncomfortable experience with Phillip regarding my contact info. I gave him my biz/backup # specifically due to conversation about shooting ranges as I work in LE. He later used that # for unrelated texts & when I didn't respond, contacted my personal #-which I never provided or gave consent to use. That was completely inappropriate & unprofessional. However, I checked him & advised him to never contact me again, he apologized. The "buyout" was a nightmare. I was charged a payment on the previous vehicle because the lender hadn't been updated. There was then a discrepancy over the payoff amount between Nissan and the lender, leaving me with an unexpected balance & additional follow-ups. I didn't expect to have to manage this after being told the old vehicle was being bought out. I was also sold SmartPay, which I ultimately cancelled. The process and timing weren't adequately explained & because it could take several business days for payments to disburse, I was receiving payment alerts from the lender that made it appear my payment hadn't been made. If this is presented as a benefit of the deal, the process should be clearly explained. The biggest issue has been the Ultimate Titanium Package/warranty. I was sold on the coverage/benefits but once I got a flat tire, I discovered NAS had no record of me in their system. After spending over an hour on the phone, submitting my contract and tire documentation, my reimbursement claim was denied because I apparently had not been provided the complete contract. Finance later sent me additional pages, but NAS still said Nissan had not provided the documentation needed to establish coverage. I was also told it can take more than 90 days for membership to appear in their system. I was just short of 90 days but was still told Nissan had not submitted what was needed as they didn't see any documents for me pending. I eventually contacted the manager, Jimmy, on 9/3 after not being able to reach Eric in finance again. He said he'd look into the matter and call me back the next day. That call never happened. I've had to repeatedly call, follow up, & chase down answers myself. Voicemails are full, emails go unanswered, and promised follow-ups don't happen. This is the problem: the lack of follow-through. I shouldn't have to repeatedly contact the dealership to resolve missing items, paperwork issues, warranty coverage, and problems with products/services sold to me during the transaction. This was my first buyback experience, and unfortunately it has been my worst car-buying experience ever. Nissan itself is a decent brand, but my experience with this transaction left me feeling like once the deal was completed, I was on my own. I gave them plenty of opportunities to make things right because my 1st experience was positive. Unfortunately, the follow-up & follow-through have been extremely disappointing.

I spoke with the shop manager Paul, and he made up all sorts of lies and even accused me of not trusting his mechanics and said I need a second opinion...

This is extremely poor business and gives a bad name for McDonough Nissan Service department.

Warning: Make sure you get TWO key fobs before leaving the lot…read more If you buy a used car from this dealership, make absolutely sure they provide you with two key fobs before you drive off the lot. When we purchased our vehicle, we were only given one key fob. We were told they would "look for the spare" and mail it to us once they found it. In hindsight, that clearly meant they didn't actually have a second key. Unfortunately, when we later lost our primary key fob, we had no backup. Replacing a key fob can cost anywhere from $500-$800, so this is not a small issue. I really wish we had negotiated a lower price or required a second key fob at the time of purchase. Hopefully others can learn from our mistake and avoid being stuck in the same situation.

I respect the owner for responding to my initial review. I made it clear from the beginning that my…read morefamily was completely dissatisfied and that I wanted the opportunity to speak directly with the owner. We specifically asked for the base-model vehicle because my sister simply needed something dependable to get from A to B. We were told the base model wasn't available, and when we gave the dealership another opportunity to make things right, we were still not given what we requested and ended up paying an additional $2,000. This is bigger than a vehicle to me. My deceased mother and father worked hard to build our family's legacy, and I take protecting that legacy seriously. I believe customers deserve honesty, fairness, and respect. I would simply ask the owner: How would you feel if someone treated your family the way you believe mine was treated and put at risk something your parents worked hard to build?
