this was my 3rd car. i was told 17" rims, they are 15". I gave up my 15" winter tires, thinking i was purchasing 17" to find that they are indeed still 15". At least $1000 of loss right there. Never mind never reimbursed the $500 service appointment I was told I would be. Up to $1,500 loss. No spare tire, told to buy a tire kit at $350 - *** you! Bought one, total $280.00 for jack, 15" tire, rim, etc... $1,780 approximate loss. I dropped over $40 grand trading in. This is my 3rd (THIRD) car, on 3 cars alone I have spent $97,000 give or take, not including service appointments, since 2006! Did not give me my rewards points, now battling the rewards website support for them. No one has since called to see how everything is going! *** YOU!

STAY AWAY FROM KIA ON 1885 UPPER JAMES>>>>

Hello there. Would like to let buyers beware of this dealership. My brother purchased a 2016 kia sorento . he was not given the total price as they had to get this suv from Grimsby. When we picked it up aweek later it had 276km on it, which is 40km there and back. the passenger front door had 2cm, chip damage no paint left down to bare metal. engine was so dusty. Brett Scholl (salesperson) and Nicole (finance dept) and Matt (service manager) was completely no help at all.would not give any money back for this mess. did not give him the total price of the piece of *** until day of pick-up. we sat in store for 3hrs waiting for nicole and service manager to come over. as there was no other customer in this place. so he ended up with a used suv with damage on it. this dealer is completely a waste of time. as they just want to totally ripe a customer off. they had no reasons was this had damage or the the kms on it. he could of bought the 2017 for the same price. but they sold him a demo for the same price...the dealer should be out of business. as we noticed there was no customers there at all. now we know why. please stay away from this lot.

Beware of Hamilton Kia they really cheap out on there used vehicles and take advantage of unsuspecting customers. If you do buy I highly recommend getting a safety check done at a reputable garage to make sure they didn't scam you too.

I wish I read these reviews earlier as I just had a similar issues with defective tires on my used Sorento from Kia Hamilton, along with other safety issues. They would do nothing but offer new tires at their cost which still cost me over $500 for something they should of replaced for it to pass safety.
