Bank Street Kia

I was introduced to Joe, who accompanied me on my journey of purchasing a vehicle. He was both friendly and knowledgeable and really was in my corner when it came to getting me the best deal possible. Unlike buying a car years ago which could be a very long and painful experience, Joe made the process easy and relaxing. Very willing to negotiate to get as close to my budget as possible, we were able to come to an agreed upon price fairly quickly. Moreover, within 5 minutes of shaking hands, he came back to me to offer me something even better - a substantially higher level of vehicle for a minor increase in my bi-weekly payment. I was then introduced to Frank who took me through the financial part of the deal. Again, very friendly and knowledgeable, he explained and offered things with no pressure. A final meeting with the General Manager, Patrick, proved why Bank Street Kia is #1 in Ottawa. He wanted to thank me as a customer for coming to the dealership and wanted to let me know that if I had any problems, I was to contact him. The ultimate goal for them is customer satisfaction and I can definitely say that I felt that. Although all young men, I was impressed by their professionalism and their dedication to putting the customer first. I would highly recommend Bank Street Kia to all of my friend, colleagues and family and would most certainly return there to buy my next vehicle. Thanks guys for making this experience an enjoyable one!! More

Great Customer service teamwork! I hadn't even walked into the dealership yet and Hasan was already there greeting me and helping me find the vehicle I was looking for in the showroom I hadn't even walked into the dealership yet and Hasan was already there greeting me and helping me find the vehicle I was looking for in the showroom. He was courteous without being overbearing, helpful in finding answers to all my questions and worked hard to get me the car I wanted for the price I needed to be paying. On the day I picked up my car, he was very busy but still managed to take time to show me how everything worked. He also texted me a few times in the following week to check up and make sure everything was ok. Fantastic! Isko was also wonderful. He was friendly, when I first met him and wanted to know my personal story and how I got to the point where I was finally ready to buy my first new car. He took the time we needed to explain all the details about the financing and all the options. He didn't push for me to opt into extra warrantees that I didn't want and I really appreciated that. On delivery day, once again he was patient with me and my chatty 3-year old daughter. He was all smiles. He even helped me bring things from my old car to my beautiful new Sportage. I ADORE my car and I couldn't be happier with the service that I got from the boys at Bank Street Kia. Thank you so much! More

Damaged Vehicle During Service Appointment I took my 2013 KIA Rio in to be serviced on March 31st 2014. When I returned to pick up my vehicle I had was told there had been an accident and there I took my 2013 KIA Rio in to be serviced on March 31st 2014. When I returned to pick up my vehicle I had was told there had been an accident and there was damage to my vehicle. As I came upon the scene I saw a delivery truck and my vehicle. The delivery truck stuck my car causing at least $1,800 in damage. I also noticed my vehicle had not been properly parked. Instead of being in a regular parking space it was parked, angled on the corner of the lane way sticking out in every direction so poorly that frankly I am not surprised it was struck. The police were requested to come to the scene to facilitate the exchange of information. Following the exchange I made my way back inside to speak to the Service Manager, Norm Sharkey at Dilawri Bank St KIA. I wished to speak to Norm Sharkey to inform him and inquire why my vehicle had not been properly parked in a regular parking space as I the owner of the vehicle would have done. When I requested to speak to him he did not approach me, I was made to enter his office and stand at the doorway. Norm did not apologize for the incident, nor did he shake my hand or provide me with any tangible customer service in anyway. He went on to tell me cars are parked that way all the time by the service department and that he did not think it was an issue whatsoever. I encouraged Norm Sharkey to look into this practice as it clearly was a factor in the events leading up to my vehicle being damaged. I was then made to pay for the service on my, now damaged, vehicle. That day I left the service department of Dilawri KIA on Bank St confused, annoyed and irritated. I returned to the service department at Dilawri KIA the next day to see if there was anyone who would take the responsibility of improperly caring for my vehicle. From what I understand when I leave my property, my almost new under 12000km vehicle in the care of a service department, I expect it to return to me safety and in better shape than when I left it. My property was not respected. My property was not cared for in a way I would have done. Upon entering the service department I saw Norm Sharkey behind a pane of glass that encases his office, we made eye contact but in no way did he come to greet me. I was made to again approach him myself and request to have the insurance information for the service department forwarded to me so I could sort out who was going to take the responsibility for claiming the damages. Norm Sharkey in his first and only act of customer service informed me he would speak to Dave Murray the Manager of Fixed Operations and get back to me. It then took 3 days and follow up email from me to get the information I requested. The repairs to my vehicle needed to be done so I had no choice but to go through my own insurance company - no one at Bank St KIA ever took responsibility. As a result of no fault of my own my vehicle will now be listed as having been in an accident. While I understand accidents happen, they tend not to when vehicles are parked properly in spaces and not left in lane ways sticking out. The service department did not respect the value of my property whatsoever. The resale value of my ALMOST NEW, UNDER 12000KM vehicle is now completely compromised. As a result of no fault of my own I now have a claim on my claim history with my insurance company that can influence the increase of my deductible in the coming years. Dilawri KIA on Bank St assumed ZERO responsibility for the incident at the time despite choosing to park it improperly. As a result of no fault of my own I have had to dedicate hours to speaking to various employees, staff, insurance agents to sort the issue out. I have had to drive around for a week and a half with a damaged vehicle - all because of an irresponsible service decision and an unconcerned, unprofessional service manager. Employees need a reminder of the name they are representing when dealing with customers. Reputation is everything, and for me both the Dilawri reputation and KIA reputation have been tarnished. I no longer trust the service department at Dilawri Bank St KIA to care for and service my vehicle. Despite having purchased my vehicle from Dilawri Bank St KIA I will be looking into other locations to get my services done. Even though Dilawri Bank St KIA is closer to both my home and my workplace I am considering going significantly out of my way because of the lack of customer service I received from the service department. Dilawri, nationally known as Canada’s Largest Automotive Group and KIA, South Korea's second-largest automobile manufacturer, are prominent names – names I no longer trust. More
