    I recently went to this Kia of Huntington for a recall service. I asked the Service Advisor (*******************************) to please see why my car wasn't starting sometimes. I believe that it was in the steering column due to the fact that if I jiggled the key it would start. He said that it would be $189 diagnostic and if I have them do the repair the diagnostic fee would be waved. He called 3-1/2 hours later and said that it was the starter. It would take 2-1/2 hours to replace and that his mechanic found a major oil leak. I said that there were no signs of any oil leak under my car. He said that it was dripping on the oil pan and burning off. And another diagnostic fee of $189 to find the cause. He would call me back. His mechanic was on lunch. I called him back 30 min later to ask if his mechanic found the cause. And to ask why there would be another diagnostic fee? That the car had 112 miles, and I may want to trade it in. He said that he would call me back. 30 minutes later he called me back and said that the valve cover gasket was severely worn, and that it would take 2-1/2 hours to repair. 5 hours total. He then said that it would be around $1200 + tax. I said that if the total was kept under $1000 all, that I would agree to the work being done. He said that he could do that. But called in 3-1/2 to pick up car! Needless to say my car is still not starting sometimes. I jiggle the key and it starts. I call the service center and was told that he no longer works there and if another part needs to be replaced that I would be responsible to pay for it. The receipt has a charge of coincidentally $378 (2x the diagnostic fee) LABOR for the replacement of the starter alone! And the replacement of the gasket was due to customer concern!! Not a major oil leak. And when I tried to use Zelle, my bank refused payment because it was to the owners email address not the business address that was on the ** code. I had to pay the 3.75% fee!DO NOT BUY A *** OR USE THIS SERVICE CENTER!
