Was told I needed a new rear tire because there was a bulge in it, so the car failed inspection. I couldn't get it done that day and had to come back. Paid $40 for the inspection up front. Returned two weeks later had original tire replaced but they tell me now I need to replace the other rear tire because it has a bulge in it now. So yet again the car fails. I can't afford another tire that day and set up another appointment for the following Saturday. Come back and have 2nd tire done. This time I'm told that because the brake light cover on the hatch of my Rondo I am being failed a 3rd time. The cover has been broken for 5 years (which does include the previous 2 visits to their service department)!!!! I used to go to Bonneville & Sons Kia dealership for my inspections and they never said anything about it!! So they expect me to come back a 4th time. Not to mention on the 3rd visit they charged me another $20 for another inspection. Not only are they scam artists but incompetent also well!

They sell junk auction cars at ridicules prices and then become accusatory and down right rude when they are expected to do repairs. The first issue was preventing us from getting a sticker,that forced them make repairs. Their mechanic is quite efficient and pleasant, he really needs to leave there before he is tainted by their fraud. If you are willing to pay for major repairs yourself, as many other posters have I am sure you will get a great car. I personally had transmission problems, a broken frame, engine skipping, and power loss with in weeks of purchase. I then got yelled at and abused by them when I wanted repairs. Stay away for Hobbs.

The gas tank had a hole, the brake line was deteriorating. I called to complaint about the vehicle and to see if we could get it fix. The woman on the phone was very nice but once the owner got on the phone everything changed. I told him about the issue and he told me that he's going to charge us for checking for the leaks and any repairs. So I told him that the vehicle should of been check before it leaves the lot. Then he told me that I better change my tone of voice when talking to him, I was shocked and extremely offended at this point. Then he told me not to call there again and hung up on me. Needless to say I didn't know anything about the lemon law and if I did I would have brought that to his attention, but I end up paying out of pocket to repair the car. If you're going to do business with them please be careful, I wouldn't recommend this guy to anyone. And I hope with our mistakes will help protect future consumers who's out shopping for a vehicle.
