I made an appt for a 2011 KIA upgrade/fixes at this dealership 4 weeks prior to my visit. My car was recently inspected and passed. I told them that I wanted no other work done on the car other than the prescheduled fixes/upgrades. I received a call a few hours later saying that my brakes were shot and it would cost $6000 to repair them. They said I should not drive the vehicle due to bad brakes, but the brakes were fine when I drove there, and I had noticed no issues that morning driving to the appt. The technician also wrote that he thought the brakes were light and mushy, but they felt fine to me when I drove there, and I assumed they were in the same condition when I went to drive home, but the brakes were so bad that I almost got in an accident leaving the parking lot. I went back into the building rather upset and asked what was up with my brakes. They wanted me to believe that they just gave out right after it went in for service. Right.... It is apparent that the mechanic did something to make my brakes defective and flat out dangerous. I was confronted with the choice of an $6000 repair job or getting a tow truck. I ended up driving the vehicle home very very slowly and with extreme caution, and had a tow truck pick it up this morning for service at another auto shop. Stay away from this place if you are getting your car serviced. They absolutely tried to take me to the cleaners. If my brakes were in bad shape, I should have been informed prior to anything being done. What he did was make my brakes go from working fine to extremely dangerous.
