    Marin A.

    I've visited this location about twice now for standard service, I usually visit the North Scottsdale Mini location however I've found the TEMPE location is a tad more convenient for me. The last oil change I received I was contacted half way through the service to be aware that my "coolant tank is leaking coolant" by Doug O'Donnell, and if I wanted to have that fixed. I accepted and then they finished the service. The next morning i picked up my car, got in and my check engine light was still on. As I was on my way to work I wasn't able to go in and let them know but figured I would call later in the day. I ended up getting a survey later in the day so I sent it back with the contents containing my frustrations. I had a scheduled oil change for this morning with Doug O'Donnell, upon entering I sensed a bit of an attitude from him. I don't know if he recognized my name with the survey that I had taken months back and decided to retaliate with an attitude or what but it was not welcoming. He was looking over my account and said "you don't need an oil change, it's been too soon" I said "well my check engine light is still on, so I'd like that looked at and it's more cost effective to pay for the oil change and have them tell me the car issue rather than pay the diagnostic fee" he said "we only do multi point checks with oil changes we won't be able to tell you why the check engine light is on with that" I had then let him know how for every oil change I received at the North Scottsdale MINI I would receive a call if I had any serious issues with my car that needed immediate attention or at minimum a print out of suggested services. I have multiple copies of them in my glove box STILL. Doug just stated "I'm shocked that they would do that" I don't understand what's so shocking, a dealership performing service on my car and will be checking my car anyway- let's me know what all is wrong with my car and then I pay more money for the additional service on top of the oil change! THATS shocking? sounds like good business practice if you ask me! I know every dealership isn't the same however I now know I will not be returning to this location.

    They were prompt, direct and took care of business. Great car wash with service, lots of new minis to look at while you wait too.

We told the…read moresalesperson, Daniel, from the beginning that we were just checking things out and not going to purchase until we had completed our research with 3 different vehicles. We thought we were pretty clear from the start and that he understood that. He was informative and if he did not know something, he looked it up before responding so that he could give us the correct information. Daniel explained that he was new and that is why he sometimes did not know the information and did not want to give us false information. Now comes the biggest reason for the 1 star. His "manager" Greg never spoke directly to us even though he walked to Daniel's desk where we were sitting to retrieve some paperwork. I believe Greg was determined that we were going to purchase that day one way or the other. We told them we had received a quote from Carmax to sell our vehicle to them and therefore would not be trading a vehicle in it we purchased from them. It went from "we can match what they are offering" to "they could not have offered you that much" to "do you have proof of a quote that they offered you $18,700?" So in reality they were calling us liars. My husband showed him the email and then all of a sudden it was "They will never give you that amount. They are going to nickel and dime you and not give you any more than what we are offering ($13,200)." During this entire time, they did not give our key fob back so we were stuck there for 3 1/2 hours- MUCH longer than our expected research time. Guess what, we ended up purchasing our vehicle from Horne Hyundai in Apache Junction. The entire experience was completely different from that of AutoNation Hyundai of Tempe. I will not recommend their location or services, nor will be return. If I could give AutoNation Hyundai of Tempe negative starts rather than having to give at least one star, then I would. Additionally, Daniel at one point had the nerve to ask us why another salesperson had been speaking to us. Seriously? She never tried to take a sale away from him. In fact, I was the one that spoke to her first. She obviously had been a salesperson longer than him due to her knowledge. I am not sure if he was concerned because she was female or if it was because she was a different color than him or maybe a combination. However, that was definitely a put off to my husband and me. Completely unprofessional to say the least.

That is the number I saw (see second screen shot). I called to inquire, as that was a good price for the vehicle. After I called in and spoke to the sales rep, the price increased by $1,600. The price I saw on Carfax was a "mistake" I was told. But the price had been reviewed on 5/26 and REDUCED by $100. A customer shows interest, and suddenly "whoops, we made a mistake", twice. Even if it was an error (twice), this wasn't off by a decimal place, where the price is simply ridiculous, it was within a reasonable window. A company, and person, with integrity would honor the price, but make clear no negotiation would be allowed - perfectly reasonable. Instead, when I suggest they should honor the price, and the point out the price DECREASE on 5/26, I received a metaphorical shrug (this conversation was via text). When I inform them I'll be complaining on Yelp, the response was "Have a nice day". Based on the clear indifference to either fairness, ethical practices or customer satisfaction, I can only assume that this is standard business practice. While I'm sure not illegal, it certainly enters ethically ambiguous territory. I realize honoring your word can be challenging when it ceases to be in your best interest, but for these folks the concept seems never to have crossed their minds.

Chuck took the situation seriously from the start. He acknowledged my experience, made it clear that this was not how they operate, and stated that this was far from the values of both their dealership and Chapman as a whole. He immediately took action. Chuck personally looked into everything and went out of his way to make things right by ensuring I was placed in a vehicle that truly met my needs. He arranged for me to work directly with one of his trusted salesmen, Andrew, and made it clear that when I arrived, I would be handled exclusively by him--no confusion, no runaround. From that point forward, the experience was a complete night-and-day difference compared to what I dealt with before. The level of professionalism, communication, and respect shown by both Chuck and Andrew completely turned the situation around. I genuinely appreciate the time, effort, and accountability Chuck showed in taking control of the situation and making sure it was handled properly. Because of that, I can now confidently say that I am beyond satisfied with my experience and would return again.

I'm a retired service manager and give props to Cade for his handling of my issue (5 stars). Issue: The scheduling. I called the scheduling department to make an appointment as this dealer is really far from me but they had the best price on oil changes for my 2021 Trailboss. The scheduler said the wait will be one hour. Ok no problem I can do that and made the appointment. However... right when I get there I was informed it would be a two hour wait. I didn't really have that much time to spare but had to get it done as my emissions were due. 2.5 hours later my truck was finally done with a standard oil change with no rotate and no other services. Someone really needs to address this issue with the scheduling department. I'd almost rather pay the higher prices at other dealers (that are closer to me) than have to wait that long for a standard oil change. Especially after being told it would only take one hour. Express Lane? I think not.

I have brought my vehicle back to this specific dealership 5 separate times to address persistent, unsafe transmission malfunction and severe juddering. During this process, the service department attempted to resolve the issue by performing the official TRA083 software update. However, the software patch completely failed to fix the problem, and the dangerous transmission symptoms have persisted. Instead of taking the necessary mechanical steps to properly diagnose or repair the vehicle, the dealership has essentially washed its hands of the situation. On last visit, I was told to change the spark plugs (not recommended any of the times before) and still told it may not fix the issue. All at my expense of course since the vehicle is just recently out of warranty. In addition have been told that I should just expect these issues from a DCT. This has left me driving a car that is paid off, unreliable and defective, that this Kia dealership is unable to fix. Kia Corporate has been no help either. Despite the extensive service history, I was simply told to take it to another Kia service center. Neither Kia Corp or this service department has stood behind its repairs or provided a meaningful technical solution for these known TSB-related issues.
