I rarely leave negative reviews, but after this - HUGO
I rarely leave negative reviews, but after this experience, I feel it's important to share it so others know what to expect.
It took nearly two months of back-and-forth to complete the purchase of our vehicle from Leggat Kia. After all that time, we were excited to finally take delivery of a vehicle costing over $60,000. Unfortunately, our excitement disappeared almost immediately when we discovered that the Lane Keep Assist system was not functioning properly.
What was even more disappointing than the issue itself was the response from the dealership. Rather than working with us to resolve a legitimate concern, we were met with resistance. When I raised the issue, Aarun Wissa's attitude was dismissive and, at times, quite rude. To his credit, Sales Manager Soheil stepped in and genuinely attempted to help, but despite his efforts, the issue was never satisfactorily resolved.
I've purchased more than 40 vehicles over my lifetime (and no, I'm not a dealer), so I have a fair amount of experience dealing with salespeople and dealerships. Without hesitation, I can say this was one of the poorest buying experiences I've had.
Throughout the sales process, Aarun made numerous promises to earn the sale. In particular, he encouraged me to sell one of my collector cars directly to him, assuring me that he would make up the difference through the purchase of the new vehicle. Once the deal was completed, however, those promises disappeared. It became clear that the commitments made during the sales process were simply not honored afterward.
Buying a vehicle is about more than signing paperwork. It's about trust, honesty, and standing behind your customer after the sale. Unfortunately, I did not experience any of those qualities here.
Leggat Kia has lost my business, and I would not purchase another vehicle from this dealership. I also cannot recommend working with Aarun Wissa based on my experience. There are many dealerships and many sales professionals who value long-term relationships over short-term sales. Based on what I experienced, I would encourage prospective buyers to consider those alternatives.
