    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I took my 2023 *** **** to Southside *** of Jacksonville on 1/19 for an oil change and tire rotation. While I was at a doctor's *********** the service department called and spoke to my partner about my car (1/19 at 12:56pm), telling her there was a problem and advising her not to have the service done because doing so would result in the need for a new oil pan. The representative suggested the problem was created by a previous service (which I had done at ********************, **) and that I should take it to them to fix the problem. My partner told the service representative not to do any work on the car. When I returned from the doctor and called Southside ***, I was told the oil was drained from my car, the oil pan was damaged, and I needed a new oil pan. At that point, I approved replacing the oil pan because my car was undrivable. Because the oil pan was on backorder, I had to rent a car to drive to my home in ********, ** to get to work. When I returned to Jacksonville on 1/22 I did not pick up my car or pay for the repairs because I did not approve the work that resulted in their need nor did I cause the problem that necessitated that work. I tried getting help from *** corporate but they insist this is the problem of independent service departments. Southside *** insists I approved the oil change and they had no k***ledge of the potential problem with the oil pan until after they removed the oil. That despite the fact that my partner took a call and instructed Southside *********** not to do anything to my car. Southside *** *** says I am lying about the call before the oil was drained. Southside made the mistake and they are trying to pass the cost onto me instead of ack***ledging they drained the oil k***ing it would result in additional repairs without my permission.

    Giving the real *************** a bad name. *** had my car almost two years still didnt receive my tag refund nor get a response through via email. When I had a complaint the mechanics were laughing in my face and the manager on duty was very rude. I always get my vehicle serviced at the dealer I made the purchase and they mess up my oil change by not properly putting the cover back on correctly. They didnt even take responsibility or ownership of that issue and now I will be going elsewhere. If I wouldve know they were privately own and not a real Kia ********** I wouldve never bought my vehicle. They need to be held accountable and they always have complaints especially their service department.
