    Bought my Kia Soul from Dolan Kia in 2022 and had a pretty good buying experience. I've serviced it there regularly since because I had a maintenance package. Overall, the service center is pretty good, very professional, customer service is excellent, and the expected upselling from service advisors is minimal compared to most. The downsides are the service is slow, oil changes can take several hours or all day, and if you're paying out of pocket, there are few more expensive options than the dealership service center.

    I'm thrilled with my new Kia Soul. I had an older model a few years back and I loved it. So when I heard the Soul was being discontinued after this year, I had to get another one. My product specialist, Akeem Smiley, was great through the whole process. He found the exact trim line and color I wanted at a California dealership and had it brought in. I highly recommend you ask for him if you're shopping for a car.

    I cannot say enough great things about Diamond Autobody! From the moment I dropped off my brand-new…read more2025 TRD PRO 4Runner, I knew it was in good hands. Having damage on a brand-new vehicle is stressful after being rear-ended, but the team here went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free, and reassuring. I worked with Stephanie, Armando, and Paul, and each of them was outstanding. Stephanie was kind, professional, and kept me updated every step of the way. Armando took the time to explain the repair process in detail, making sure I understood exactly what would be done. Paul ensured everything was handled with precision and care, and it really shows in the final result--the quality of the repair is flawless. You would never know there had been any damage at all. What stood out the most was the exceptional customer service. They didn't just fix my car; they treated me with respect, honesty, and genuine care. Communication was excellent, the timeline was accurate, and the end result exceeded my expectations. It's rare to find a shop that delivers both top-tier workmanship and such an outstanding customer experience. I highly recommend Diamond Autobody to anyone looking for high-quality work and a team you can trust. Thank you again to Stephanie, Armando, and Paul--you've earned a customer for life!

    Amazing service and cheap but quality. Definitely recommend this shop to everyone. Weread more

    Gotta love easy, low-contact communication to start…read more I made my appointment online on a Monday, but availability wasn't until Friday. If it weren't for the positive reviews and comments, I may not have continued. I had also made an online appointment with a big-box tire shop, only to get a call back telling me that the appointment I made was actually a request. Hmmm... #1. I had asked for pricing for an alignment (which was on the high side) and a tire rotation, and the wording just felt a little slippery. So I told them I'd call them back to schedule. Sunshine sent me a reminder text, and I was curious if I'd actually get a response. Wouldn't you know it -- I did! I specifically asked about the cost and whether there were any other fees. Turns out, the alignment price was the alignment price (provided no additional work was needed), and that is exactly what I paid in the end. When I arrived Friday for my appointment, I received a greeting text. It freaked me out for a moment, but then I realized they had seen me and my car entering the shop and had done a pre-check-in. The guys at the counter couldn't have been nicer or more approachable. The work took about 90 minutes, and while I waited, several people walked in. The same friendliness I experienced was coming across with everyone. Is that a sign of trust? For this shop, I'd say yes. Before completing the transaction, I was given -- and sent by text -- a green/yellow/red list of recommended work. I asked if they could give me quotes on the items, and they sure did! Mr. Diaz also highlighted what he personally recommended prioritizing, and I really appreciated that approach. I didn't have to do everything on the list at once. We could knock the work out one by one. You don't know how much I appreciate this kind of approach. I know shops can take advantage of people -- especially ladies like me who are already on guard because we're expecting to get confused, fast-talked, or pressured into something we don't understand. That didn't happen here. I felt informed, respected, and in control of what I was choosing to have done to my car. That goes a long way with me. So far, Sunshine Service Shop has earned my trust.

Samantha,…read morea friendly and knowledgeable technician, greeted me warmly and discussed my recent investment in tires at another business. I wanted to have my alignment checked to protect my investment. Samantha quickly scheduled an appointment for me. Before the appointment, I called and found an opening, so I brought my car over. Darrell, another friendly technician, checked me in and offered me a refreshing beverage while I waited. The waiting room and the entire shop were spotless and well-organized. After about an hour, I was back on the road with a fresh alignment and a renewed sense of confidence in my car and tires. The price for a three-year alignment was very reasonable, making it a great value for the service provided. I highly recommend Big O in South Reno for all your automotive needs.

    This used to be my go-to for consistent service and repairs. I'm talking 15 years of satisfaction…read morewith their customer service, communication, pricing, and work quality. 15 YEARS!!! At this point I will NEVER be one of their customers again. I took my vehicle in mid-August because the connection between the headlight bulb and the wiring kept loosening (the wiring had been replaced by them the year prior). The car was with them for a full day, and I was told the issue was resolved and I was not charged for that work because it related to a previous fix....lovely!! Less than 10 days later, the same issue arose. I immediately knew that they had not fixed what I asked to be fixed as my headlight was once again out. I dropped my car off on Saturday, September 5, expecting a full day of waiting. I was called within 3 hours of dropping off with the diagnosis - a full headlight assembly priced at over $800. I was then told I really should just replace both sides on my vehicle so they both look "sexy". I initially did not confirm that I wanted the repair done because this is a 21 year old vehicle driven minimally. I certainly don't need it to look "sexy" and drop $1600 When I did call back to confirm the repair of one headlight, I was told that my service rep (Darrell) was on lunch, but the message would be passed on to get the repair started. I then heard absolutely nothing. I called back just before closing, expecting to get an update. I talked to Darrell and he promptly threw his teammate under the bus and said he never got the message - calling his teammates "knuckle heads". I was assured that the part would be ordered on Tuesday (due to the Labor Day holiday) and work would likely be finished by end of day Wednesday 9/9. Once again, no one from Big O called me with any update. I called again before closing that day (Wednesday 9/9 and was told the part hadn't arrived. I then waited for 4 more days to hear anything. CRICKETS. No follow up saying there was a delay, no apology. NOTHING. During this time period the shop was only closed for 1 day. 3 other days that a call could have been made to me. I just called (yet again) Monday, 9/14 at 10:30 AM. NINE days after dropping my car off. I asked to speak to the manager and was told that he was not in. I was then treated very kindly on the phone by Isaac when I expressed my frustration at the very poor communication regarding the repair of my vehicle. Isaac put me on a hold and found Darrell who then was very dismissive saying he was still waiting on the part and since he didn't have it, he didn't feel that he needed to call me. He also said he's too busy to make calls to all the customers who are waiting on parts. Waiting for 9 days....no time in 9 days..... I expressed my frustration at the terrible communication, receiving only one phone call in a span of 9 days!! I told him I had had nothing but wonderful service for the past 15 years and was extremely disappointed in the overall experience and there was no reason that I, as the customer, should have had to make 4 phone calls regarding this service when they made only 1. Once I filled my husband in on the situation he stepped in and called and we are refusing the part and the repair. My time, money, and support will go elsewhere from now on. It's honestly just so sad to me that a business that I have recommended for years has changed so much.
