I was immediately made comfortable that my car would be taken care of. A full inspection was done and I was informed that no repairs were needed. My oil was changed and car washed at no cost. It's good to finally have a honest dealership!

My service advisor was Sophia and she was great! Very welcoming for my first time here and communicative. Came in for an oil change, it took about an hour and a half which is reasonable and they also included a car wash! Driving in I was met right away by Sophia who took my information and showed me to the waiting area. This is a newer dealership so I believe they’re still under construction. Waiting area could use a little more pizzazz at the moment but I’m sure they’re working on it! They have complimentary water, coffee and snacks but there’s also a vending machine available. The seats are comfy and I definitely did not mind waiting for my vehicle here. I did however have to stop myself from putting my feet up on the sofa I was using - that’s how comfortable I felt! While waiting I received updates on my vehicle and I even received a video walk around from the technician working on my car! It was great, he showed me the thread on each of my tires, the oil, liquids needing to be topped off, the condition of the cabin filter and a few other things as well. Once my vehicle was done, I received a text from Sophia and she went over everything done to my car and I was on my way. Definitely will be coming back for my service needs!

I took my vehicle for oil change and as soon as I arrived, Sophia greeted my at my vehicle, took my information and got me a lift to get back home. I loved that in less than an hour, I got notifications on recall repairs and suggested work my vehicle needed. once I approved what I wanted done, my car was ready in less than three hours. Sophia is very friendly and helpful. Thank you Aaron Kia of Corona for this experience and the free oil change, and to Sophia for her outstanding customer service.
