I rarely leave reviews but if this makes someone think twice about parting with their money at this dealership it will be worth it. Without doubt the worst customer service and customer care I've ever experienced. The problems started when the car was under warranty. It was consuming excessive oil, something I have read online specific to this vehicle and which is actually leading to a lawsuit against Kia in the US. I flagged it repeatedly and was told it was normal and in a handbook. A handbook I might add that I have never seen, and was never made aware of when purchasing the vehicle. It only started needing more oil after the first year, so this isn’t a normal maintenance procedure when running this car, something was clearly wrong and malfunctioning. Nothing was done. I had the car serviced with them every ten thousand miles, I kept getting told the car was not burning oil and it was normal. It wasn’t. Once you are then out of the warranty, they wash their hands of you completely. Then the expensive repairs began, a new Catalytic converter and a clutch, both of which have lasted less than 12 months. These parts have a warranty, but it’s impossible to claim on. They will say it’s wear and tear and the problem is once again yours. Unless you are willing to wait weeks while they try and persuade the head office at Kia to admit it’s a warranty repair. It should be such a simple procedure, but it clearly isn't and it appears to me that they do everything they can to try and wriggle out of it. Not only that they will suggest other things are an issue instead, distracting from the main problems, and trying to deflect the costs back to you on repairs that won’t solve the issues caused by the failed components, which are still under a manufacturers warranty. I even had another garage give me a second opinion on the latest issues, as I was beginning to lose faith in the service I was getting, an opinion which NK motors refuse to acknowledge and are not even willing to investigate. The failure is with the components they fitted less than 8 months ago, as an expert technician from the another garage and an engine fault code have confirmed. All I’m left with now is to replace the car, once again at my own substantial cost. They even had the audacity to ask if I’d consider a Kia again, I couldn’t actually believe it. This dealership is great if you want a brand new car, but if you want to buy a used one, even a Kia approved one with a warranty, be aware that it can be a miserable, exhausting and frustratingly expensive experience.

Very poor customer service from the day I agreed to purchase, should have gone with my gut instinct and gone elsewhere.

I have a KIA with a 7 year warranty which has been serviced by the book each year. My car broke and took it here but they refused point blank to put a warranty claim through. They even refused to see the car when KIA spoke to them. Service Manager has a terrible attitude and doesn’t know anything about the warranty guidelines that KIA set out. I took the car to Vertu Motors and they gladly took the car and work is being done under warranty. Will never use NK Motors ever again as they are not customer friendly at all.

I purchased a used car from NK Motors, all seemed fine at the time there was a few issues which we was told would be sorted before the car had been picked up. I picked the car up about a week later with an oil leak still present, faulty passenger door strut that wasn’t changed and soon found out also a faulty clutch. The car was taken back in after mentioning on the phone the faulty clutch. (Struggled to get into gear when it first started, clutch pedal would not rise back up all the time and a gear crunch when changing 1st to 2nd.)they had sorted the oil leak but still not changed the door strut and never mentioned or even looked at the clutch I believe. It went back in 3 more times after this for the same clutch issue, and whilst they had the car for nearly a week, still stated they could not find an issue. Multiple phone calls were made whilst they had the car and the same somebody will phone you back was said. After finally getting through to somebody I was told by a manager at the time that the clutch issues where characteristics of the car due to its age and mileage, I’m no mechanic but I knew there was an issue. The car wasn’t driven regularly after that due to a company van however 4,000 miles later the whole clutch now needs replacing after breaking down. Very quick to take the money but it seems unless you buy brand new car from here with a lot more money, after sales wise is awful. After having the whole clutch replaced including slave cylinder the mechanic I use saw the problem. Bolts were cross threaded from the slave cylinder and therefore wasn’t sitting flush. This faulty installation means he believes this was the cause of the issues prior, something NK Motors would have discovered had they actually inspected the car. I have contacted NK Motors since and told them everything to give them the best opportunity to put things right after the awful service, nothing was offered bar apologies which quite frankly isn’t good enough

We purchased a car from NK Cars and firstly the car was still dirty in site when we went to pick it . A week later the puncture kit was missing which we were promised a new one would be delivered within a week 5 months later we are still waiting despite repeated phone calls and email . Shocking Service and it looks like we will have to claim the purchase of a new kit at £300 through the Credit Card route very disappointing
