KIA Anmeldelser 

Excellent personal friendly efficient service from Startin Kia Warwick [yes, Startin, not Starting]. Joe Chan in Customer Service was first class. Well done.

Wife's car is less than two years old and has developed a minor fault; I believe it is a warranty issue but even though minor the car will not pass a MOT (windscreen wash failure) . Have contacted just about every Kia dealer within 50 miles and the BEST I can get is a booking for "diagnostics" in 3 weeks. And how long will I have to wait for parts and repair after that? What is the point of a 7 year warranty when you can't get problems fixed? Wife needs her car, no possibility of courtesy vehicle (IF one is available) until the "diagnostics" (which involves 30 minutes to remove 4 screws, 1 panel and going "yes, the water line is split" and that's where the screenwash is coming from) confirm it is a warranty issue.
If Kia can't improve the service provided by their dealers, the 7 year warranty is a waste of paper and there is no point in buying a Kia. I certainly won't be buying another if I keep seeing the AWFUL warranty and service reviews.

Group 1 Kia Coulsdon. Over the past couple of years I have had a few problems with the Coulsdon branch. Was having problems last week. I needed my car urgently on Friday and at 5.00 pm on Thursday they said I needed a new battery. As I was desperate I agreed for them to supply and fit for the cost of nearly £300.00. It seemed excessive but I had no choice. When I picked the car up they said I needed glo plugs and the service manager would come and pick the car up as yet I am still waiting. Have tried calling and they said the service manager had rang me but I don’t have any missed calls from him.

Kia Romford. I was sold/upgraded a car by one of the keen car sales people, he assured me that I had a 2 year free service plan as advertised on the website too.

A year later and a service is due with a fat bill, to which the sales person has been sacked and I quote from the lady on the phone "let's say he was asked to leave because of his way of working".

I was also assured 2 days prior to the appointment of service that this was correct and she could see it on her system! Until I turn up on the day!

The sales Manager Fiez on the phone basically admitted that it seems I have been miss-sold the car as I've been told one thing and no paper work to back it up - so I'm stuck at a catch 22.

The best the could do was take some money off the service!

Poor service, miss sold products and no consideration or responsibility taken by the team at Romford! This is my 5th year with Kia, I won't be going back as soon as this contract is up!

Lost a long term loyal customer?

We have owned an eNiro First Edition since 2020, driving around 60000 miles in it. A fantastic car. Certain occasional gremlins, along with a patchy EV service infrastructure learning curve, and now more recent supply chain fragilities have been an interesting and informative journey. We were lucky enough to have a small number of local dealerships to help educate us in how best to deal with these gremlins. A very recent intermittent fault (where the car started to think it was still connected to the EV charger whilst it was actually travelling on the motorway and elsewhere) resulted in a potentially very protracted repair process (under the excellent 7 year warranty). With advice from a very helpful and knowledgeable Kia mechanic, we were able to continue using the car. Our trips to the dealers for assistance at this most recent time exposed us to the later facelift model of our car, and thanks to an excellent salesman called Chris at Kia Stirling Flear and Thomson, we have as of yesterday taken possession of a 1 year old Niro EV 4. We are very impressed with the experience of buying from Kia Stirling and would recommend them wholeheartedly. We look forward to the rapidly developing UK EV service and repair capability for all manufacturers finally getting to where it needs to be.

I’m mortified!
I bought a car from a dealership last year, and over the past few months we’ve had issues with the paint work peeling and yellowing. After a painful few months, they finally, accepted to respray the car, to rectify the problem.
I booked the car in, for Monday, they wanted me to collect late Tuesday night, thank goodness I didn’t! I collected Wednesday morning and asked to take a look.

The paintwork looks worse than when it went in.
I don’t really need to go into detail, the pictures will tell the story themselves. What a shame I can’t add any!
I asked why it wasn’t blended in, to be told this will cost more money, I thought blending new paintwork in was a given?

Just take a look for yourselves. The over spray is everywhere, it’s been scratched and scuffed whilst it was in there, I was advised, this may have been the gazebo that was leaning against it while it was still wet?
This shows lack of professional paintwork and it’s been done outside in what I imagine a pop up tent!
They have absolutely destroyed the car.

Cars are being sold with known manufacturers faults and the earliest you can get booked in to the dealership is 4 weeks and at least 6 weeks if you require a courtesy car.
After sales service is shocking and dealerships seem unable to cope with the workload.
KIA UK are unwilling to help, even though it is a manufacturer’s fault.
Nice cars but no service when they go wrong.

I own a 2017 Kia Sportage ISG1.
My ignition barrel failed about 2 months ago now and my car has stood still in my local garage ever since.
Reason: shortage of parts in the UK, Kia waiting for parts to arrive from abroad.
Totally unacceptable, the experience has been so stressful being without my vehicle especially being self employed. I am literally earning nothing without my vehicle.
No mention of a courtesy vehicle from Kia, typical unhelpful customer care to be honest.
Will I keep the vehicle after repair? Probably not as I can not go through this again.
Would I recommend to a friend? with my experience of Kia definitely not.
I have been made aware by Kia of a parts shortage but why should I have to take the stress and problems Kia have put on myself.

KIA A FUIR !!! A bannir !!!!!! Scandaleux cette situation!!! Une voiture garantie 7 ans ???? Mensonges!!!! Il n’en est rien !!!!! Ne leur faite pas confiance!!!!! Ne faite pas cette erreur !!! Car moi aujourd’hui elle me coûte très cher!!!!! Je suis une maman seule avec une petite en bas âge je décide de faire confiance à kia pour acheter mon premier véhicule neuf garanti 7 ans qui m’assurera de la serenité… le crédit me coûte 350 euros par mois et un entretien tous les 15 000 équivalent au coût du crédit je n’en loupe aucun mais kia qui refuse le paiement en plusieurs fois j’ai dû aller vers un garage agréé constructeur qui lui me fait une facilité de paiements je prend l’option pour que le carnet d’entretien soit fait comme kia le souhaite. Cet été je pars en vacances à l’étranger je tombe en panne s’en suit une succession d’épisodes catastrophiques plus de 1400 euros de frais à sortir non prévus pour nos vacances annuelles.

All the staff at Kia Bury are always friendly, approachable and knowledgeable! They never put pressure on you to buy. Thank you Daniel Garner for looking after myself and my husband, making sure our 5th Kia purchase went perfectly smooth. Loving everything about the xceed

The purchase of my Kia Stinger GTS was heavily influenced by Kia's 7-year warranty and promise of good customer service.

This is now the second time I needed warranty support and once again Kia let me down. The first time, my sun roof developed the dreaded creak that is mentioned in many forums - Kia did not consider this an issue and charged me a £114 diagnostic fee.

Now, the car no longer turns on, yet both local Kia dealerships have no available appointments for over 1 month - my car, WHICH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, is now sitting on the driveway for over a month.,

I contacted KIA UK and they washed off their hands of their warranty responsibility, pointing at the dealerships, busy Christmas etc etc. Ultimately, Kia need to ensure that their service partners are suitably resourced to uphold their warranty obligations and they clearly do not seem to care.

AVOID - this is my first and last Kia.

I just bought a Kia Sportage second-hand and on day 3 the engine started cutting out when slowing down to a stop (with clutch in). I spoke to the dealership and they want to charge me £130 to perform a test - the car is 3 years old and still within the 7 year warranty. I've agreed to pay, but the earliest they can book me in is mid January. Shocking service - I'm not impressed

5 worthy stars to KIA ARNOLD, NOTTINGHAM branch for help choosing a car, friendliness, cleanliness and service. A BIG SHOUT OUT TO LEON KENNY who went above and beyond helping me choose an amazing car KIA SPORTAGE. Thank you so much for your amazing help and friendliness.
Thank you so much for everything. So happy with my new KIA. "KIA THE KIA FROM KOREA"
I highly recommend this branch and especially Leon.

VOID VOID VOID!!! If there was 0 stars i would give that. Do not buy a kia car or take it to kia ever. They have messed me around, had my car for WEEKS, wont give courtesy car ever. Worst company in the world. My wife is 8 months pregnant, nan in hospital, they held my car with no repair and delay after delay. They do NOT CARE ABOUT YOU 1%

I bought the ev6 an amazing car and would love to give five star but lose two star as disappointed with kia UK. This msg to Kia UK why you stopped giving ev cable charge with 3 pin for 2023 models?? Is this a cost cutting issue or lack of stock. All ev cars give two cables it is not about buying online but principle.. If you sell ev cars than give two ev cables please.....

I have a 2018 Picanto GT Line S which I bought new. It has had an electrical fault since 2020 which drains the battery if the car is not regularly used. The car has been in and out of Chapelhouse, Warrington for the last 3 yearsand they are unable to fix it.The Car has now been with them for 9 months since March this year.I cannot sell the Car or use it overnight and have lost 3 years depreciation. Think before you buy.

Kia is the brand of the future. Back by a year 10 year100-mile warranty, they offer more bang for your buck. Honda and Toyota also good cars but more expensive for less options.

I will never buy another car now I have a Kia. The service that is given is amazing. The team are friendly, knowledgeable, ensuring they meet your needs and not pushy at all.
After visiting another dealership Kia really stand out as the best! Nothing was to much trouble, they go above and beyond. Handover of the car is very thorough. A special thank you to Kenny and Holly. You are a credit to Kia

I will never purchase a vehicle through any Kia dealership. I purchased my car in January of 2022 and on September 28th I lost my car from hurricane Ian. I had an extended warranty on my car. I was told I would be mailed a check which I never received. It’s been over a year. Every time I call there I’m getting the run around. That is definitely not fair when a company owes you money and they don’t want to pay the customer back. It’s kind of like yeah I’m not going to make my car payment for a year because I don’t feel like it’s necessary. They screwed me over. If anyone knows of any good attorney that can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Car less than 2 years old and the injector gone faulty, Kia offer 7 year warranty so contacted local Warrington dealer who said can't book in contact Bolton Kia 50 miles away, they are unable to do anything for 2 months, the car is in limp mode so unable to use (struggles get upto 20mph) so not sure how suppose get to Bolton at that speed. I now don't have a car to get to work and back for 2 months. If you rely on your car then a Kia is not for you.
