Kiefer Kia - Nissan Review from Roseburg, Oregon

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Keifer Kia in Eugene sold a used Nissan with ongoing issues.
  • - Sales manager: only prior wrecks disclosed; added wiring not mentioned.

From the 1st week of having my used Nissan purchased from keifer Kia in Eugene I have had issue after issue, blown off..at one point they told me awesome stuff they would do to right this..all lies then half *** service by cranky people ...buyer be aware ..a sales manager has been direct and clear that they only have to disclose previous wrecks..nothing about extra wired added on stuff.

Even if it I extremely costly to maintain..sales manager was clear he is fine with this practice..and stated they had no way to know the added light box was there since lights worked..and he claims there mechanic checked over car..

This is by no means an honest place to do any kind of business..unless you like scamming liars! Thankfully the Midas guys are on top of their jobs..fixed lights and told me I bought a leaky tranny...

Horrible Customer Service

AI Highlights
  • - Sale was friendly, but post-purchase service felt invisible; subwoofer install not offered (quoted $300.00); GAP insurance promises not fulfilled.

The folks at Kiefer Kia are friendly enough when you want to buy a new car, but once you purchase the car it’s like you are invisible. I tried to find out how much it would cost to have a sub-woofer installed in my Soul and it was like pulling teeth to get any response from Kiefer. After leaving several voice mails and messages they did apologize but they said their service department didn’t know how to install their own stock subwoofer. They told me I would have to have it done by another company at the cost of $300.00. The dealership agreed with me that $300.00 was way overpriced, but because the dealership wasn’t able to install their own equipment I decided not to purchase the sub-woofer.

Then when we purchased the car we were told we should invest in spending an extra $6.00 a month on GAP insurance but that we could have that removed any time we wished. I later found out that I could get GAP insurance from my insurance company for $1.00 a month so I called Kiefer and asked their finance guy to remove the GAP insurance. He said he would email me the form that day so I could sign the change in our policy. I never heard from him. I later called the General Manager of the dealership and explained that Kiefer was once again dropping the ball. He assured me that he would get right on it and in fact said, and I quote, “I will do it right now”. Again I never heard back from him or the dealership. He also told me that the monthly payment that went up by $6.00 would not go down by $6.00 but that the length of our payments would shorten. That’s ridiculous since we will probably trade in the car at some point before the payments are completed.

We love our KIA Soul but we are extremely dissatisfied with the customer service that Kiefer boast so proudly of. They make allot of promises but in our case they are empty promises. We will never purchase another car from Kiefer Kia and will be sure to steer our friends away from their dealership. This is what happens when you don’t take care of your customers.

Kiefer kia just ripped me off.

AI Highlights
  • - Accuses dealer of selling broken cars and blaming buyers.
  • - Motor mounts bad; rear rim bent; engine has water; car under 3,000 miles.

Don't go to them. They lie and and sell you broken cars and then blam you for the damage.

I just got a car from them and the first time I took it in for an oil change I found out there is a lot of water in the engine and the Moter could blow on me at anytime. The moter mounts are bad and need to be replaced. The back rim is so badly bent that the service department told me it's dangerous for me to drive it at all. I have only had this car for a couple months.

I have only driven it for less then 3,000 miles. No way did I do that to the car in such little time of having it.

I can't believe they would sell me a car like this. They had to have known about these problems before selling it to me.

Raised price after agreeing and running credit report

AI Highlights
  • - Price agreed on was raised by $500.
  • - They ran credit and said I needed a co-signer.
  • - They refused to return the applications and the salesman yelled.

After agreeing on a price the salesman and I went back into the office and started filling out a credit application. They ran my credit and said I needed a co-signer, I already knew this and one with me.

She filled out the application and they went back to run her report. After about 10 min the guy comes back in saying they made a mistake and needed an extra $500 for the car. I told them this was the price we agreed on but they didn't care at all. Just changed the price.

After telling them how this was very unprofessional the salesman then began raised his voice and started yelling at me.

I wanted our credit applications back but they refused to give them back. Terrible business practice.

I have been seriously over charged for a small repair, and when I complained, 3 times, so far brushed off with denial of problem. Still working on it. They haven't been honest enough to give me the next person up the line's name to complain to, but I'll get there.
