Mr. Kahn, I typically don't respond with particulars on public forums but in this case I feel the need to recap the conversation that we had when I called you just now. There is nothing that we did to break your door handle while your vehicle was here as we simply performed a recall on the seat on your 10-year old vehicle, and used your door handle as it was intended to be used. Like I said, I would be happy to help you by having a look at your door handle for you, and even help with a discount on parts & labour to get your door handle repaired. That said, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from abusive language and yelling while communicating with our customer care team and service advisors. I understand you may feel frustrated but this kind of behavior does not help the situation. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any further questions. Best regards, Ted Boyd General Manager 250-751-1168

Good afternoon, I am sorry that your experience with Harris Kia was less than perfect. Contrary to popular belief, manufacturer's do recommend servicing an electric vehicle. Although I cannot look at a specific work order (because I do not know who you are), based on what you said in your comments, I am unclear why you are so unhappy with your experience. Is it because we offered you a wheel alignment after we checked it and found it required one? This is our obligation as a Kia dealership and a licensed repair facility. If there is more to your experience that made you give us a 1 score on this platform, please contact me directly and I would be happy to look into it for you. Again, I would reach out to you but your contact information is hidden. Sincerely, Ted Boyd General Manager 250-751-1168 ted.boyd@harrisauto.ca

I had Pete Barbeau as my shuttle driver. He is always enjoyable to talk with and gets me from point A to B safely. Kia is lucky to have him. More

Hi DevinW, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience here in our dealership. I understand that you have now spoken with our Sales Manager, Brent Ross on the telephone and expressed your concerns and I understand that you two had a good conversation. It is with good dialogue that we are able to do better. First of all, please accept my apologies for any disrespect that we have shown to you. I can assure you that it is never our intention to deliver anything other than an outstanding experience and in this case we obviously failed. I will not try to make excuses but will commit to using this opportunity to perform at a higher level going forward. I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your new vehicle and if we can be of service in any way in the future, please reach out anytime. Respectfully, Dave Bare Dealer Principal
