            Answered
            The dealership said they would complete an upgrade on my vehicle based on a vehicle recall, specifically adjusting my ignition system to make my car less easy to steal. I dropped the car off, but no one would explain the service or answer any of my questions. I was told that they would contact me via text. I was never contacted, so I called 2.5 hours later and was told my car was ready. When I got there, the guy said, (*************************) they didnt have the necessary parts, so they didnt do the work. I tried calling the service manager, but he refused to respond to my calls. Then, the service **** sent me notices saying that I needed to have extensive work done on my car. Today, I took my car to a reputable business and have been told that I didnt need anything Lokey recommended, but I did need tires, which Lokey did not mention. This business pretends to do recall work, but they really just try to get you to have unnecessary work done. My experience was awful, and I hope that you, the BBB, will be able to get them to stop scamming their customers.

            I was a bit dumb and naive for thinking the flyer I got in the mail from lokey Kia was legit. It was a scratch off in which I won $500. I called to ask if it was a legitimate and they said yes bring it on in. I got there and after trying to sell me a car so I could win a free tv lol they went back to check the prize. $ 5 in scratch off tickets . This is a petty situation but it’s misleading and after reading previous reviews indicative of business practices. I’ll be buying a car in February but it won’t be from lokey Kia.

            The mailer clearly states an individual has won up to $500.00 in scratch off tickets. The numbers on each mailer have to be checked against the prize board located at the dealership to determine the exact amount. This customer received $5.00 in scratch off tickets for just showing up at the dealership. Sorry he did not read the mailer properly.
