    I purchased my vehicle from this dealership and have consistently followed all the maintenance…read morerecommended by the company ever since. Over time, there have been multiple issues, but I chose to overlook them with the mindset that mistakes can happen and that sometimes it's better to let things go. However, this time, I can no longer stay silent. Issue 1: When I purchased the car, I was told that the dealership would store my winter tires at no extra charge. Normally, there is a storage fee for tire storage, but the salesperson offered to keep them at the dealership without cost as part of the deal. However, this agreement was never properly recorded in the system, and for the first three seasonal tire changes, I had to repeatedly explain the situation to the service department. I had no other proof, except for a text message from the sales manager at the time, which I had to show like I was begging for confirmation. Fortunately, after a few visits, the service team finally noted this in their records and started handling it without further issue. Issue 2: In the spring, I brought the car in to switch from winter to all-season tires. After picking up the vehicle and arriving home, I noticed that one of the wheel nuts was missing. Thankfully, the dealership was nearby, and I returned immediately to have it installed. But no one apologized. It was treated as if it were a normal, everyday occurrence. Issue 3: Again in spring, I brought the car in for another seasonal tire change. This time, they installed tires from a different trim level. At this point, I began to question whether this was just carelessness or something more intentional. Once again, no apology was given--just the same attitude, as if this sort of mix-up is perfectly natural and acceptable. Issue 4: Interestingly, all the issues I've faced have been tire-related. This final incident happened just a week after the most extensive and expensive scheduled maintenance, including a tire change. I had been told after that service that everything was in perfect condition. But only a week later, I began hearing strange noises from the front passenger-side wheel while driving. At first, I assumed it was a rock stuck in the tire. But the sound persisted and became more disturbing, so I stopped the car and checked. I found a bolt embedded in the tire. Let me be clear: I do not believe the dealership was responsible for the bolt being in the tire. These things happen on the road, and I fully understand that. Once again, I went to the same dealership--Kia Richmond, where I've always taken my car for service. Two hours later, I received a phone call informing me that the tire had been fixed. However, they said they had also checked the wheel alignment and it was off, asking if I wanted it corrected. I agreed, even though I was surprised because just a week earlier, everything had supposedly been fine. When I went to pick up the car, I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. How could a vehicle that had passed such comprehensive service just a week ago suddenly have alignment issues? I asked why this wasn't detected during the major service. After checking their records, they told me that they hadn't done an alignment check at that time. Why not? First, they said it was optional because it's a complimentary check. Later, they changed their explanation and said the request must have been missed when passing instructions to the technician. That's when I completely lost my trust in this dealership. I no longer know whether their explanations are genuine or just made up on the spot to move past the issue and charge me anyway. As I said earlier, I have always followed the full maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Many people around me just change the engine oil regularly and leave it at that. But I believed that sticking to the recommended maintenance and building a long-term relationship with one dealership would be better for both my car and for building mutual trust. Now, I can say with certainty: I will never go back to this dealership again. Some may say that other dealerships are no better. Maybe so. But at this point, continuing to spend money while being repeatedly disappointed is more wasteful than giving a new dealership a chance. All these frustrations have also made me question the quality and credibility of all the previous services done at this dealership. Perhaps to someone else, this might be the best dealership they've ever dealt with. But to me, it has become the worst. I'm even seriously considering never buying a Kia again.

    DO NOT lease vehicles from them. Terrible Service & Attitude!…read more Leasing a new Niro 2025 wth this dealer since July 2025 but this new vehicle has been broken down TWICE. Major part changed, but and now still being grounded for ALMOST 2 MONTHS since the vehicle is NOT DRIVABLE!!! We requested a new vehicle after the incidents happened twice. But the new GM (Valentin Neag) just advised us to contact Kia Canada for solutions and he said he will do whatever Kia Canada ask him to do. But Kia Canada stated that They have nothing to do with the leasing but only warranty! They seldom get us a call to update. It is me, the client, to keep giving them calls to get status of our car. Yesterday, called them again. I explained to the first lay that our car being grounded for almost 2 months and the manager promised to prioritize our car. She just said "You are not the only car being grounded here!" then she passed to phone to the Service Advisor Pandora Lam. During the phone conversation with Pandora, she kept talking but NEVER listen to me and let me speak. When I asked her "Can you let me talk" She replied "Now?" I also mentioned her coworker promised me the Manager would call me but he didn't. She said that is NOT their responsibility! Totally speechless about the customer service and product quality of Kia Richmond. They're lucky that I can't give ZERO star to leave my comment here!

He explained everything without pressure, followed up afterward, and felt like someone who actually cared. Highly recommended to anyone shopping Toyotas.

    Toyota vehicles in general have some unique qualities for which I often like to refer to as…read moreToyota-ness . Things everyone know about Toyotas include reliability, reliability and more reliability . Oh and of course higher than average resale value is a given too . But what I was referring to as Toyota-ness is a bit more subtle and nuanced . For example their 4 cylinder engines are fairly fuel-efficient in their own right but often emit a coarse or even raspy note when pushed . And yes their vehicles usually last for a looong time under normal driving but moments of excitement behind the wheel are few and far between . Also next time when you sit inside a newer compact Toyota product try pushing the cabin liner up against the roof and you might feel some hollowness which is somewhat disconcerting . That said I do applaud their work on the current gen Corolla as they all come standard with LED lighting and great styling not to mention advanced safety sensing technology . And don't even get me started on the newly redesigned Prius cos it looks simply stunning ! So to recap if you prioritize reliable , trouble-free and uneventful transportation then look no further than your local Toyota dealer .

    My review pertains to the service department at Richmond Honda, and sadly, it can be summarized in…read moreone word. Frightening. The inmates are running the asylum, seriously. That's the implication I got from my walk around the outside of the service bays, as I wondered what was taking so long, and also both the service staff member processing my repair at the counter, and the service manager in a subsequent phone call. The mechanics are unionized they each informed me, and while I'm not anti-union, the implication was clearly they cannot be held accountable. I felt bad for the front line counter staff and even the service manager. Took my car in for routine maintenance in May 2025, nothing wrong with it, just needed an oil change, tune-up. Got in just before 10 am on a weekday, was told they also found uneven tire wear, so needs alignment too. I said thanks, approved the work, they said my car would be ready around noon. Well, it wasn't ready until nearly 1:30 pm (oil change, alignment, fluid top up, should be an hour at most, took over 3 hours), and the two people in front of me complained bitterly about the level of service. I got my discount and considered myself lucky for escaping with my car intact. Exaggeration? Just wait... Three months later, there's a leak under my car and my transmission is acting up. I text the Richmond Honda service manager at the number he called me from in May (after my email complaint to the GM of Richmond Honda) and get no reply. Might have been a land line. I decide to take my car to Stan's Transmission this time, and they describe a situation that "unscrewed itself!" in an incredulous tone, curiously ask me where it was last serviced, resolve my problem, refill my CVT with fluid, and I'm good again after another $400 bill. So, were Honda Service techs negligent when servicing my car? Or were they annoyed that a number of customers had the temerity to complain about the wait and decided to teach us a lesson? Either way, a failing transmission is both a potentially EXPENSIVE repair, AND a potentially dangerous situation. Stay FAR, FAR away. You've been warned.

    Forget the complimentary coffee/drinks. Very friendly and helpful personnel at Richmond Honda…read more My interaction from sales to service has always been positive at Richmond Honda. Ricky and Queenie are first class people and looking out for you in the end. I am biased though, I've been loyal to Honda for over 30yrs. (from Dad's accord) Civics, Odysseys, MDX, Pilots... I've referred friends, and they treat them well too! I lived in White Rock, and Richmond Honda still is my go to.
