      Almost a year ago my 2018 kia ****** was experiencing engine issues. First time the issues occurred, I was told by a service tech verbatim that my engine was bad and would need ***laced. My car was taken back and forth to their service center over 4 times within one month. No resolutions or answers provided. I was made to pay for an oil consumption test that was actually done twice when it was supposed to only be done once to drive for 1000 miles so it can determine the amount of oil being consumed. Next, they advised me my spark plugs were bad thats why my engine was making noises. Which I had to pay out of pocket for. Then, I was told there were no appointments available to be seen for the continuous issue Ive been having. The service *** called and told me I needed proof of oil records to determine if my engine would be covered for ***lacement meanwhile I have warranty coverage. After sending in the proof of oil change records, I have yet to hear from anyone. No offers on rentals or a loaner car. I have been inconvenienced for over a month having to use family members cars and utilize **** and lyft paying even more money daily to get from work and dropping off my child. I want compensation! For not just my vehicle but pain and suffering for this long.

      In response to the customer complaint, Cydnie did need a new engine.  For the manufacture to replace it, the owner needs to provide proof of service/maintenance with records.  She was unable to provide those records to the service department, therefore the engine replacement was declined.
      After further investigation, we found the customer purchased an aftermarket extended service contract.  The representative from the service contract company got involved and was able to get the engine covered.  An engine is currently on order.  Per the service contract, she has limited rental car coverage that she is able to take advantage of.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22366767, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      That is false. I provided records of car maintenance not once, not twice but THREE times to not only the service provider who was helping me initially, but his coworker as well who ended up jumping in assisting with my car. Only after I filed my report with BBB, did I even hear back from a rep at Jim Shorkey! I was told from the start of my car issues that my engine was bad but there would probably be a series of test to be done first because that’s a way Jim Shorkey covers their ASSets! Once tests are done, only then can it be determined if an engine replacement can be approved or not. We all knew I had extended warranty coverage that was never in question. My engine was bad, that was never in question. It was consuming too much oil, that was never in question. Then, I was told I’d be provided a rental at a (Jim Shorkey) discounted rate because you guys told me you don’t have any loaner cars to provide, they are always “being loaned” and “never available”.

      I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service received from *** Shorkey North Hills service department following an accident,towed to your dealership on 8/18/24, under warranty.Timeline of events:- August 18, 2024: My vehicle was towed to your dealership.- August 19, 2024: Service Advisor ****** informed me an estimate was being prepared.- August 22, 2024: ********** approved an estimate of $3,378.35.- September 3, 2024: ****** told me incorrect parts were ordered. He mentioned sourcing parts from salvage yards that were rusted and unusable.- September 10, 2024: State Farm scheduled a second appraisal. ****** stated my vehicle's 4WD was incorrectly marked as 2WD.- September 12, 2024: I received an updated estimate from ******, but there was no documentation to support the salvage yard claim. When I raised concerns, ****** and his supervisor, ***** stated State Farm's payment only covered salvaged parts, contradicting earlier claims.- September 13, 2024: I visited the dealership, expressing my frustration over the four-week delay. **** instructed me to tow my vehicle elsewhere, stating the dealership couldnt complete repairs. I asked for the general managers contact information three times and was given the incorrect information. My car was towed on **September 16, 2024**, and sustained additional damage, leading me to file a second insurance claim. Ive paid for a rental car since **September 6, 2024**, as my insurance coverage maxed out. Despite repeated requests for a loaner, ****** informed me the dealership wouldnt provide one due to issues with State ******* car sat for four weeks with no progress, and I was ultimately told to take it elsewhere. Throughout, no one took responsibility, and no apology or resolution was offered. ********** denied any responsibility in delays. State Farm advised the service department ordered the incorrect parts. I request a formal investigation into this matter and reimbursement for my rental car fees.

      Business response

      10/02/2024

      Please see both attached estimates you will note that i have underlined the parts that they wanted to send and circled the incorrect part. I also attached parts invoices and email communications confirming this.  They would not let us order the correct oem parts. State farm only deals with their preferred vendors and won't go outside of that. After ****** contacted you as you stated in your email which was the Monday we opened after the vehicle was dropped. We waited 2 weeks for them to ship the parts. Once we inspected the parts that were sent, we could easily identify that they were incorrect. They were parts for a 2-wheel drive Durango and not an all-wheel drive vehicle . We promptly emailed **** ****** your state farm rep on 9-3-24 the day we got the parts. We advised your inspector of the mistake. We then advocated to him that we need OEM parts and that the recycled and reconditioned parts they gave us would be a detriment to your safety. ****** called state farm multiple times and asked if we could get the correct parts to take care of you and once again, they denied us. Then on 9-10-24 they showed up for another inspection and agreed with our estimations and said they would send new parts. We then got more parts that were rusted , corroded and even the wheels they sent were incorrect and the wrong color. On 9-12-24 you advised my service team not to touch your vehicle and that you were contacting your father who was contacting an attorney.  Based on the transgression between your insurance provider and their impedance on our abilities to resolve the situation and the fact that there is body damage on your estimate on your insurance quote . **** not ***** our service manager, advised you to take it to a body shop, especially since you were threating legal action. At that time i supported his decision to have the vehicle towed out. In regards to your request for rental reimbursement, that request is denied. Not only did we do everything possible to resolve this, but your insurance company also slow played from the start and was trying to get us to put on parts that were incorrect and not safe. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone when it comes to our integrity and our ethical boundaries when it comes to ensuring our clients have a safe and reliable vehicle.

      When I schedule an appointment for a corrosion issue in my jeep wrangler, they scheduled it for the ******** road location. When I arrived they said the scheduler should have sent me to the route 8 location. I spoke with the manager **** and due to their error they said they would provide a rental when the work was completed on my Jeep. Now they are saying that the cost is $55 a day.

      Thank you for sending the email with the pictures. I spoke with you before you left on vacation. I reviewed the information pertaining to your service visit. You were here 8/16/2024 for service and did not notify Mike DiSante about your concern with vehicle damage until 9/17/2024. That is over a month since your vehicle was here at our service department. You scheduled your vehicle and arrived on 8/16/2024. The concern on your repair order was, Customer states that the vehicle has a moldy smell, Service tire pressure light is on, and sap on exterior. There was nothing that stated about having the carpets in the back cleaned. When a vehicle has a moldy smell, water is entering the vehicle and collecting. We did have the interior under the passenger dash area pulled down. We found the drain for the air condition was blocked and causing water to collect in the front right floor. The pictures that you send me was a picture between the fender and the body of the vehicle. That is on the outside of the vehicle., not in the cabin area of the vehicle. Reviewing the pictures you sent further, there is rust and paint bubbling on the right fender, with the black molding separating from the vehicle. The padding would not cause the damage that is on the vehicle. The paint and molding is coming off because of rust under the paint. That damage is not something that could have been caused by our technician. If you like to have the vehicle repaired, I can get you an estimate on repairs. As a loyal customer, we will assistance with 25% of the repair to be covered by Jim Shorkey Chevrolet.

      I purchased a vehicle from Jim Shorkey in April of 2024. Sunday September 8th while driving on the highway without any advance provocation or indication of malfunction my car died on the side of a highway. The vehicle was towed to Shorkey and the estimated repairs exceed the sales price of the vehicle in April. Noted on the service write up is that the engine air filter is the wrong size for the vehicle and fails to seal. The manufacturer also extended the warranty of the fuel pump to 180k miles. Jim Shorkey is unwilling to address any of these service related issues and it is hard to believe that a thorough multi-point inspection of all of these items was performed prior to sale as they claimed. The service specialist implied that this catastrophic failure might be due to not changing the oil but according to their own service review nothing requires attention outside of the engine filter and fuel induction service. The oil condition is listed as OK the oil levels are listed as OK.

      Business response

      09/18/2024

      Vehicle was towed in due to a no start concern.  Our technician found that the starter had failed, likely due to the engine that locked up as well.  The Vehicle was last serviced at 95k miles (now at 103325).  The maintenance sticker on the vehicle windscreen was for 100174 recommended mileage to be serviced.  While the oil color was "OK" and the level was "OK" on the multi point, that is based on the multi point inspection.  If the oil is between the low and full mark on the dipstick, it technically falls under "OK" on the multi point, even though at the Low point it is a quart low - which this vehicle is still at the low point side of "OK."  The engine did not fail due to oil being low, but because of an internal hard part failure.  The vehicle has exceeded it's warranty (5 year 60k for second+ owners) and the customer declined the aftermarket warranty offered in finance.  We offered a discount but the customer has, so far, declined to move forward with any repairs.  (original estimate $15k - discounted to $12.8k) 

      I cannot speak to the wrong air filter in the vehicle.  I do know we recommended but did not replace it during the used vehicle process but have not seen the vehicle since.

      In response to Jim Shorkey’s reply to BBB complaint: **********

      To be clear, Jim Shorkey has not contacted me to offer a discount at any point in time. That is another deception.

      At the time of sale, I was offered a 1 year warranty on a $15,800 vehicle priced over $5,000. When I questioned why the cost was so high in relation to the price of the vehicle and if I should consider another potentially more reliable vehicle I was assured the vehicle had been rigorously checked and would far outlast one year from purchase. I was reminded that I had bought vehicles from Shorkey in the past and never had an issue also told that with annual service vehicles like this could run for 300,000 miles.

      If this was Shorkey’s belief and position at the time of sale they should stand behind it and if it is not then I was deliberately mislead.

      I will consider paying the cost of the initially offered 1-year extended warranty in exchange for a full repair and continued coverage until the 1st anniversary of my purchase.

      The response from Jim Shorkey was not a response at all. They sold me a faulty vehicle that they did not inspect as evidenced by the incorrect engine air filter being on the vehicle. They fraudulently represented the vehicle history and the reliability of the vehicle at purchase. Their offer to reduce their service quote of over 16k by 3.2k is offensive and unacceptable. Their service department reviews over the past 3 months is very telling and they should be investigated and have their BBB rating reduced.

      Option 1: We are willing to work with her on trading it in towards another vehicle if she chooses. We are willing to put an additional $3,000 onto of the trade value to assist. However, with the vehicle now needing an engine the vehicle is worth around $3,000 according to auction data so we would offer her an additional $3,000 on top of that towards a new vehicle.


      Option 2: We pursued an additional option today in finding a used engine for the vehicle since it was a used car with high mileage in an effort to get the cost more reasonable to assist the customer compared to the initial estimate for a new one. In total for it with all parts and labor it would be upwards of $10,000. We would be willing to split this cost with the customer and do $5,000 each. 


      In summary, we sold the customer a vehicle 6 months ago with 95k miles. She was offered options for a vehicle service contract being there was no factory warranty remaining on the vehicle, which she declined the day she purchased the vehicle. She has since put 10k miles on the vehicle with zero record of service for oil change with us. The Carfax on the vehicle shows zero record of any maintenance or oil change since the purchase as well so she is about 2,500 miles past due on an oil change for the vehicle. We sold her a vehicle that went through an inspection and was in full mechanical and operational functioning at the time of sale, provided a 3 month/3k miles powertrain warranty as well at no charge, and offered additional vehicle service contract options to provide her coverage and peace of mind past that if she chose. We are willing to assist the customer in the 2 options above if she chooses to accept even though at this stage it is her financial responsibility for the vehicle.

      I purchased a used car and when completing paperwork they asked if I wanted key fob insurance. I asked the guy if I was getting 2 with my car like you usually do and he said yes so I declined. After I got home, I realized they only gave me 1 key fob. I called the next day to ask where my 2nd one was and they said there was only 1 turned in with the car but they could make or get me a duplicate for 340.00. They probably took money from trade because only 1 key fob was turned in. I turned 2 in with my trade and I feel I should have received 2 with my new car without paying the outrageous amt of 340.00. They should have taken 340.00 off the cost of my car, especially when they told me I was getting 2 prior to the purchase. I feel this is an unfair business practice and they are nickel and diming people. A dealer should always provide 2 keys when selling a car.

      When I returned with the title to my trade and then found that they did not forget to give me the second key fob, but that they never intended to give it to me, I was not at all happy. They are liars. Just because I didn’t throw a fit right then and there did not mean I was happy. I told my salesperson in fact that I was very unhappy.

      It’s true I am happy with my car but not with this dealer. As far as I’m concerned, they are shysters.  I have and will continue to make my displeasure known on social media.

      I will also be sending my complaint to Toyota and Mitsubishi corporate offices to let them know what underhanded practices this dealer is practicing. Judging by the complaints I was reading online, I am not the only one unhappy with them.

      I bought a used car a year ago and have had some major issues with it and it is currently sitting at jim shorkey with a crack in the engine block. The warranty company refused to cover any repairs until the engine is torn apart and they figure out what caused the crack in the engine. I told shorkey about a month ago to go ahead and tear the engine apart. I have heard NOTHING since. I did reach out to cheverolet and they told me that shorkey said that because I have what's considered a third party warranty that they will take care of anyone who had a warranty through cheverolet first and they don't know when they will get to mine. So I've been without a car for a VERY long time now and have to depend on others to drive me around. I feel they are discriminating against me because I have what they call a third party warranty. All I want is a car that runs to get me to work and church. Is that too much to ask???

      The vehicle is here.   The customer was told that he would have to pay for teardown, for diagnostic, and the aftermarket warranty company he has doesn't cover teardown. The customer called us back after waiting for a week or 2 and told me he authorized tear down///diag.

After contacting them they send a bill of sale received via email on 8/23/24 with doc fees and the car was purchased on 6/24. These people also let my son 18 yrs old drive on one of their metal dealer plates for almost a month until I called cause they forgot to process the paperwork until I text them on 7/17/24

      I recently bought a 2024 *******. Brand new. Rolled off the lot with 14 miles on it. Fast forward, within the first month of owning it, hit ***** miles boom every single light on the dash board turns on.. The lane assist is not working, every alarm is going off because its sensing all my doors are open, ****************** not registering.. I get told from one of the service **** that I hit a pot hole too hard and that cause the lights to come on.. Now I dont know much about cars but I do know that if I hit a pot hole I would expect my tire pressure light to come on.. Not EVERY SINGLE LIGHT. So after being blamed for the issue before they even looked at the vehicle, being told I was getting charge $160 if they hooked it to the diagnostic ************** 10 days later I get called to come get my car back, I drop the rental off and they tried to charge me for a dent in the door that was already there when receiving the rental car After that issue gets handled I get my car back, the car was left on empty after they put 80 miles on the vehicle and they left the negative terminal cover for my battery on the windshield. Putting 19 miles on the car, once again every single light is back on the dashboard. So once again, Im ACTIVELY driving- RMPs at 0 * speedometer at 0. The car cant sense where the lines are on the road so lane assist is pulling me every direction but in the lane. So once again I called Kia * got told to bring it back. That was June 18th that we dropped the vehicle off.. its now August 14th.. theyve had my vehicle for just about 2 months. We go to talk to them and get since its not a fuel related issue we will not be refilling it. We had to test drive ******** not our responsibility to fill it back up. Their test drive to make sure the vehicle was safely operating was 1.6 miles down the road to a locate lunch *********** to the dealership for a total of 11 minutes with the vehicle on the road.

      Ms. Poindexter's vehicle was repaired under warranty and released back to the client. We had the vehicle here with electrical problems Kia escalated to a field technician to help us find the cause of the issues. Multiple wiring harness’s were replaced and the customer was delivered a rental car to her at home. Attached is the copy of the workorder for the repair.
