I normally don't write long reviews, but my experience with Ken Ganley Kia of Boardman was so…read moredisappointing and stressful that I feel compelled to warn others. What should have been an exciting purchase turned into a two-week nightmare -- one week just trying to complete the deal, and another week waiting for the dealership to finally release my approved, paid-for vehicle. During that delay, I was told I'd still have to pay for the days I didn't even have the car in my possession. My experience with sales associate Christopher Kenney, finance manager Heather Marino, and general manager Melanie Yesovich was marked by misinformation, unresponsiveness, and defensiveness. I was repeatedly pushed aside, ignored, and treated as though my time and business didn't matter. Even after paying my down payment and signing the paperwork, they refused to release the car, citing "funds clearing" from the leasing company -- which makes no sense for a lease. When I raised the issue, I was offered only $40 compensation and told to sign a release form that would have silenced me from ever sharing this experience publicly. I refused. The only person who showed any professionalism was sales manager Mark Dickerhoof, who listened, treated me with respect, and ultimately honored the national offer I was initially denied. Unfortunately, every other part of this dealership failed to deliver even the most basic level of customer care. As a former licensed car salesman at Klaben Ford and Lincoln and a recipient of the Key to the City of Youngstown, I know how customers deserve to be treated -- and this dealership fell far below that standard. If you value honesty, professionalism, and respect, steer clear of Ken Ganley Kia of Boardman.

Had to take my 2016 KIA Sorento in for another recall, this is the Kia that has the bad motors…read more Same KIA that anyone could step into & brake steering column & steal it, Insurance rates went up & then they didn't want to insure it! KIA said use a wheel locking stick like from the 1970's. Will maybe KIA was hopping all the lemons they built & the one they sold me would be stolen & totaled? My background is I am a certify ASE master technician (retired) I still build motors now as a hobby, I know what has happen inside this engine. Now oil loss is so bad Kia now says It can use up to one quart every 1,000 miles before they will replace there defective motors. As mine only uses .8 per 1,000 miles, they consider it acceptable, so between oil changes they want me to add 5 quarts of oil as the engine will burn/blow by on there defected engine block, with defected oil rings, wonder why EPA has not stepped in with the pollution this veh puts into our air. And the service department has to be of the rudest I have ever talked with, the write up person named Samantha I think would just talk down to you as if The customer is the issue not the lemon Kia produced. They want you to bring in for oil change, then you drive it, then back for them to check it, then in for 2nd change to verify it's a oil burner, then back & forth how many times, delay is another word for denial, they Just have one class action law suit after another. I am having better results dealing with E.P. train derailment then KIA.

I purchased a Subaru in 2018, with a full warranty that included oil changes from a dealer that I…read moremoved away from. It was too great a distance to travel for oil changes. I had visited other locations as well and never paid a dime for an oil change. Today, my Forrester was taken in for an oil change by my partner, and they said that they could not use my warranty because it "didn't include oil changes". I provided my warranty information (even though it's associated with my account and has always been) and they were prepared to process the oil change and charge me money, something that I am not required to pay under my warranty. I guess someone didn't want to do their due diligence and follow up with the other retailer or just didn't know how to do their job. Guess that's the unfortunate state of the workforce these days. It's unfortunate that this is the closest retailer to me, I'll now have to travel twice as far to the original retailer to get the service in the warranty I've purchased. Avoid.

My new car has been having on-and-off starter issues for almost three months. I originally had an…read moreappointment for August but the issues stopped (again) so I cancelled the appointment. Then the issues started (again) so I make a new appointment for today. Wait this whole month and bring it in, and I am told they can't diagnose the issue because the vehicle is behaving today. I said I am worried about getting stranded with the weather getting cold. They have nothing to say to that. I explain to them that the problem is inconsistent, and it's not my fault that it's not having issues today when I finally have an appointment. Again, nothing to say. I ask if next time that my vehicle is having the same issue if I should drive it directly to the dealership, as I can't predict when the issue occurs to make an appointment for that day. They tell me no. They suggest I take a video next time and they can escalate it to the Hyundai technical support team. So how am I supposed to get my car fixed?? This vehicle was bought new not even a year and a half ago! Totally unacceptable! Clearly I wouldn't have spent my afternoon waiting around at the dealership if there was no issue. I think it is asinine that I was turned away with no resolution in an unsafe vehicle! If they are able to escalate the issue then they should have done it TODAY and sent me home in a rental until the problem was fixed! Instead I have to risk driving in the bad weather coming soon in a new vehicle that doesn't start and being stranded??? Absolutely terrible service. I am considering just trading the car in and going back to Chevy vehicles; Chevy never gave me bad service that could potentially put me in danger. I cannot believe that after buying the car new just last year and with it being under warranty that I am being denied service.
