They snuck it in and lied at th They will screw you over I bought a vehicle from them. The extended warranty was to be included in the vehicle price. They snuck it in and lied at the last minute, and when I called them about it, they laughed me out. the door told me they’d be glad to remove the warranty for the car. I bought from my 18-year-old child. I’m already a widow. He is my only kid there is no husband there is no father. These people knew that, and they took such advantage of me, and then laughed about it so if you were specially if you were under privileged like I am and in a situation where you are alone, they will take 100% advantage of you and they do not care about you and they will laugh at you. These are horrible. Disgusting people please save yourself and do not walk onto their lot and if you do just tell them you read my review . More

Went to look at a 2018 Kia Sportage and after driving we wanted to talk about buying it. But before signing we had a question about one of the tires because in multiple spots the tires tread was lifting. Th wanted to talk about buying it. But before signing we had a question about one of the tires because in multiple spots the tires tread was lifting. The manager came in and had a attitude from the start and looked at us and said “I’m giving you this vehicle for pretty much whole sale” and “we inspect our vehicle well”. When my husband showed him the issue he looked at my husband and said “if it was a safety issue I would have to fix it but this isn’t a safety issue”. After this we decided to take our business somewhere else. He was rude and disrespectful! We have very small children we have to worry about also. I didn’t want anything taken off the price just wanted a simple tire fixed. But he put his pride in front of his customer service so he lost a deal. Plus it was listed for 17,500 and when he did the papers he made it 17,900. So I will never step foot in there again or buy a vehicle from them!! More
