    We went to get our *** serviced here at *** of ******* wood for a warranty job in September, they gave us our car back straight away and said they don't have parts. We went back in December which they finally took us in, they said it would only take two weeks to do an egr issue and a steering clunk issue. We finally got our car back in 1.5 months. We decided to go to a different dealership where they actually care and *** of ******** solved our issue in 3 hours and even washed our car. They charged us $169 and advised we seek compensation from Kia of Lincolnwood. But when we came in the manager started being rude before we even instructed ourselves. We explained the issue and that we're seeking compensation but ***** (the manager) said it wasn't his problem and that we were wrong. We explained that all of the things that Lincolnwood touched was either loose, disconnected, or missing, and ***** asked if we have any pictures, we did but he wasn't interesting in looking at them. We had a serious concern of our safety since the steering wasn't tightened by Lincolnwood and the seatbelt was completely disconnected as well. So now we are seeking compensation from a warranty job from Lincolnwood since we had to pay out of picked for *** of ******** to fix everything Lincolnwood didn't do.

    Avoid the service **** and service manager, *****, like it is a contagious disease. There is nothing worse than technicians who don't know basic mechanics of a car or service managers who say they really don't care about their job because they can get one anywhere. This is just a few of the experiences I have witnessed at Kia of Lincolnwood. I'm really disappointed with the lack of standards in the dealership in general from a super messy dirty service shop, lack of customer friendly service writers, technicians who don't know how to follow service manuals, to the tripping hazards of the lack of a thresh hold at the floor transition from customer waiting area to the sales floor. From what I have read is that their sales department isn't much better either. Too many details, mess **** lies and run arounds to explain here because it would be like a novel. Did I mention the loaner they lent me smelled like an ashtray and it took me almost a month to finally get the smell out of it?
