      I truly dont know how Kia of South Austin is still in business. It has become so poorly managed, particularly the ******************* NO ONE EVEN BOTHERS TO PICK UP THE ****** They will essentially kidnap your car in their lot for god knows how many days, dodge your calls/emails/texts, and so I have learned I just have to personally drive there JUST TO TALK TO A HUMAN BEING (one hour round trip for me). This is just plain unacceptable for any business. Why cant you hire a receptionist for the ******************** Its seriously that easy and would make a world of difference. Last time I was there waiting in line, I observed 6 people laughing and talking behind the Service counter while phones were ringing off the hook. No one even thought about answering the phone. When I asked one of them if they ever answer the phone, they admitted they do not. Ridiculous - what kind of manager or director would allow this? I will start using *** of North Austin from now on.
