    get the story straight, please

    I believe that not all car salespeople have to be shady and unethical, but Joshua (from online sales) gave me a bait and switch today. I inquired about a car posted on their site, Joshua said it was available for me to come look at, and then told me it was 30-days out when I pushed for more info. Today vs 30-days is a big difference, and I don't take commuting to Killeen lightly.

    Headliner damage

    Wildly unethical, shady business practices. The more I learn about the stunts they pull the more I am amazed that they are still operating. I bought a used Outback from them one year ago this week. Since I don't live in Killeen, I have all my service done at the Austin dealership. This week my windshield developed a large crack seemingly out of nowhere, and upon replacement the Austin dealership discovered that the windshield had been improperly installed by Cleo Bay without a gasket. (This in and of itself can compromise the strength of the glass.) Cleo Bay's windshield replacement job also damaged the vehicle, ripping the headliner in multiple places and leaving a mess of liquid sealant all over painted portions of the frame. There were also sticky pieces of foam strips coming loose on the interior where the glass meets the dash. When I asked for assistance with this completely undisclosed damage, they offered zero recourse and have claimed they are not liable. Zero effort has been made to right this wrong, and it's been like pulling teeth to get them to understand why I would be upset about the damage they caused and concealed. They also have lied about multiple things, like claiming that my Subaru Austin service representative "used to work for them." I have also requested to speak with the general manager multiple times and it has not happened. The salesperson who sold me the car failed to follow up with me when he said he would - I'm still waiting - and barely even grasped what the problem was even after I sent him photos of the damage. He hadn't even bothered to read the email I sent him before he called me, and then was wildly dismissive of my concerns. This is absolutely unacceptable and is a very bad look for Subaru America. My experiences with the Austin dealership have all been positive, but Cleo Bay is dishonest and unethical.

    Once again, I returned for a new style and color after 2.5 years. I live in Austin, but I keep coming here. Nowhere else compares. Pros: 1. best prices 2. best selection/variety in styles and color 3. The lot is sparse where you can actually see the difference when comparing cars. In Austin and Georgetown, cars are so tightly packed, I can't see the true colors or differences. Austin Subaru also has trees in one of their overflow lots so the shade makes it hard to see plus that means sap and bird poop on new cars if that matters to you. 4. Staff are accommodating, knowledgeable, accountable, enjoy each other and customers. Every single staff person smiles and greets customers in passing 5. Parts are usually in stock 6. Service department is fast. Ex: They told me to be prepared to wait for hours, but it was actually less than an hour 7. Snacks and electrical outlets for charging available. Food nearby 8. I've bought a lot of cars. This place makes it easy and painless. 9. The wait area is comfortable Cons: none that I can think of Paul was our sales rep this time. I always enjoy seeing mike (in finance). Thomas is a sales person that is always full of joy, laughter, warmth, and loves his job. I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of their sales reps. I love this place and will continue to return.

    This dealership is amazing they work with you they talk to you they're consistent and they always solved any issues that came up. These guys are amazing they're clean. They're respectable and quite friendly. You definitely want to come here.

    Green box by windshield is marked as good but the drawing marks showed there is damage. Not consistent. Contradictory.

    This place is a complete joke. Don't go here. Go to Austin for your Subaru needs. Incompetent, unprofessional, disappointing.

    PLEASE READ MY TESTIMONY My 2024 KIA Sorento X-Line XS Prestige which I bought off the…read moreshowroom floor for $53,000, has been sitting in my garage for 6 months inoperable, due to it going into LIMP MODE on Interstate I35, in the middle of rush hour traffic. On September 12, 2025, my KIA was going 75mph, and within 30 seconds it went from 75mph to 20mph - LIMP MODE, and then 20 seconds later, it shut off. It was a terrible situation. Other drivers were yelling at me, honking, and flipping me off. I believe my life was in jeopardy; not just my life, my grandson's life who was 6 months old at the time. Simultaneously, the malfunction indicator light (MIL) and the check engine (CE) light were luminated. I was terribly frightened by this LIMP MODE situation, and in just seconds, my KIA created a backup on the highway. I had a fear I was about to get rear ended or involved in a wreck. The KIA was unsafe to drive so it was towed by KIA Roadside Assistance to the dealership, Dennis Eakin KIA in Killeen, TX. I received a voice message that my KIA was ready to pick up. On Friday, September 19th I took an UBER to the dealership to pick up my KIA. Once I arrived, I got the keys and the service ticket from Terry. The service ticket had notes from the mechanic; it showed a stored code of P1C2D03 came up on the scanner; instead of making the repairs, the dealership reset the adaptives. Dennis Eakin KIA cleared the stored code from my KIA's history, then, they claimed it was operating as designed! The dealership had it for a week (09/15/2025 to 09/22/2025). I told several people at the dealership I was not driving it home because it was not repaired. What did the dealership do? The next Monday, September 22, 2025, Dennis Eakin KIA had an employee from the dealership drive my KIA to my house, and park it in my driveway! She drove it with the MIL and CE lights on, AFTER, I had it towed to the dealership and no repairs were done. There is a NTSA recall for my exact model but for the 2022 year vs. 2024. My KIA has an 8-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), 2.5L Turbo - GDI / Engine THETA-III. Everything the NTSA mentions in the recall was/is happening with my KIA. I believe I could have the same issue; as a stored code of P1C2D03 shows the KIA needs replacement of the DTC assembly and for the A/T system software to be updated. That was the last time I drove my KIA because I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT EVER AGAIN! I requested KIA America either replace or repurchase my KIA, so that I would not have to suffer a huge financial loss; they refused. I only have 8,137 miles on my KIA, and it was not conforming to the manufacturer's warranty. I followed all protocol found in the "2024 WARRANTY AND CONSUMER INFORMATION MANUAL" page 101. The dealership had a final opportunity to make the repairs and instead of making the repairs, they removed the stored code from the memory (P1C2D03), and turned off the MIL / CE light. I have been to Mediation with the BBB Auto Line, then Arbitration. In my opinion neither were neutral and to date, 04/05/2026, this situation still has not been resolved! Although the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TXDMV), Lemon Law Investigator accepted my case under the Texas Lemon Law, the hearings for the State of Texas Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) are being scheduled for September 2026. By the time of the hearing, it will be a whole year since it was driven. KIA America forces you into trading it in (making it someone else's problem and causing a huge financial loss), or selling it and I am unwilling to do either one. KIA America needs to stand behind their vehicle and repurchase it from me along with my related expenses. While under Mediation with the BBB Auto Line, KIA America sent a subject matter technical expert (TE) to my home to conduct a full inspection of my KIA. He spent 45 minutes inspecting it; then he drove it. I have his written report; he found more things wrong with it than I was aware of. I was not allowed to talk to him during his inspection, but I did ask him one question as he was leaving; I asked, "If this was your KIA would you drive it", he said "no" and then, "definitely NOT on the highway". This situation has put havoc on me physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually! I was first in contact with the dealership, Dennis Eakin KIA, Killeen, TX, then, have been in touch with Sky Cato, Sarai Espinoza with KIA America Customer Care, Christina Sakhleh with the BBB Auto Line, and KIA Executive Officers; Greg Silvestri, Vice President of Service and Aftersales Operations, Eric Watson, Vice President of Sales Operations, and Russell Wager, Vice President of Marketing, NO ONE CARES! All they talk about on their social media is how many cars they have sold; what about all of us out here with a LEMON KIA! When something goes severely wrong with your KIA, get ready to go more in debt, because no one cares!

I normally keep my vehicles for up to 15 years before trading in but my transmission blew in my 2008 Nissan and I thought it was time for an upgrade. However, after just nine months of my vehicle constantly needing costly repairs which were NOT covered by the warranty company and after 2 months in their service department and not offered a loner vehicle, I finally had enough of Nyle Maxwell and picked up my Jeep and went straight to All American Chevrolet. Michael was awesome he gave me a great price on the Jeep trade in and got me into exactly what I wanted. Michael was very polite and had so much patience working both with me and my daughter in purchasing our new vehicles. He took his time and answered all our questions and believe me I was a handful because it was so hard to trust another dealership after my last purchase nightmare. Michael is one of the best sales guys I have ever met who cares about the person and not just selling a car. I know if I have any questions or concerns I can still depend on Michael to find the answers. Thank you Michael Long for your professionalism and All American Chevrolet for my new Chevy and your awesome customer service team! I absolutely love my new Chevrolet!

    Our experience here wasn't the greatest. My wife was interested in a used Kia forte. After…read morecorresponding with Crystal about an out the door price, we didn't hear back for a couple of days and were concerned that the car we were interested in was going to get snatched up by another buyer. We had been searching for Kia fortes and Hyundai elantras, in colors other than grey, white or black, throughout the capital area that had low mileage and were in a decent price range. My wife teleworks and doesn't drive that often, so there was no need to get anything expensive. Each time we found one we liked at other dealerships, the cars got snatched up almost immediately, so we knew we needed to act quickly. I found the car sales managers email address on Yelp and emailed her that we were interested in the car, but hadn't heard back from Crystal. Crystal emailed back the next morning with the price, including TT&L, and said there was one other person interested in the car. We responded and said we would drive up to Killeen that afternoon. When we arrived, Crystal had the car parked out in front. She welcomed us in and got straight down to business. Other dealerships offered us water and/or other refreshments, which would have been nice since it was close to 100 and we had driven up from the Austin area, but nothing was offered to us. Not a huge gripe on our part, but worth noting given the experience we had at other places. We took the car for a test drive and were pretty much sold on it right away. We were going to finance the car through our credit union who was offering a very good rate, but it was the 4th of July weekend, and our credit union was short on loan officers and couldn't complete our loan in time. So we decided to finance through the dealership knowing we could refinance later. Crystal ran our credit and came back with a rate that was ridiculously high at 8%. She offered to run it through to get hits at other banks that might offer lower rates and I declined. When we met with the finance manager at the dealership, he dropped the rate down to 7.6%, which told me the original one they gave us was inflated so they could make a profit. He tried talking us into extended warranty. We declined and he started using tried and true scare tactics and said the warranty on the Kia we were about to buy was already expired. Thankfully, my wife did her research and said the car should still have 9k miles left on the bumper to bumper. Upon checking, the finance manager agreed and acknowledged he was wrong. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since we were at a Chevy dealership and Kia's aren't his specialty, but he was awfully quick to point out the warranty was gone in the first place. So we declined the extended warranty, we declined the gap coverage and we declined a package that included "free" oil changes. We could tell he was getting a little desperate to sell us something because he was getting a little exasperated. He knew we were going to refinance and went on to tell us that the dealership would get penalized if we refinanced too early and that we should check with the lender since we might get penalized too. At that point, I just wanted to sign the paperwork and get out of there, so that's exactly what we did, car keys in hand. Long story short, if you know what you're after and stick to your guns, you can come out of this place with what you want. If you have excellent credit, shop for rates elsewhere, just don't expect to be treated special while you're there.
