Kia 2024 J.D. Power Awards

Kia 2024 J.D. Power Awards

2024 Kia Carnival

When deciding on a vehicle that can house your entire family and will provide sufficient power to get you from point A to point B, you might feel like your options are limited. These worries can be put to rest by the University Kia Huntsville team by informing you of some models that have earned some impressive accolades that put them in a higher tier above the rest! 

2024 Kia Telluride

There's no better time to get your hands on a Kia Telluride, because the 2024 iteration is leading the way in a number of facets. This three-row midsize SUV has earned the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. ALG Residual Value Award for its respective category, based on used-vehicle performance, brand outlook, and product competitiveness. As the third year in a row that the Telluride has earned this award, you'll certainly want to claim it before they disappear from our lot. With 291 horsepower and available AWD, driving around Decatur will be an exciting feat!

2024 Kia Carnival

If you prefer a minivan, the 2024 Kia Carnival will suit you well. While some drivers tend to notice a decline in reliability and an increased number of problems after three years of ownership, your scope of options might feel miniscule. That won't be the case with the Carnival, as it has received the 2024 Best Minivan award by the J.D. Power Dependability Study. Ranking higher than the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey, you can expect impressive features that contribute to an enjoyable drive to Point Mallard Golf Course.

About Us

University Kia Huntsville is dedicated to your utmost satisfaction, which is why we are keen on informing you of such accolades and awards to grant you peace of mind in knowing you've chosen the right brand for your treks around town. The Carnival and Telluride are just two of the many Kia models that you can choose from the 2024 lineup that appeal to your commutes up and down Marsha Avenue. After zeroing in on the correct car, you'll be able to meet with our Finance Department to discuss payment options. We've even won the President's Club Award in 2023, proving that our customer service is undeniably superior. Don't wait to visit our location for an in-person look at the aforementioned vehicles.

Had two separate engine issues with my son’s 2014 Optima and my personal 2013 Optima SXL. Was assigned a service tech that wasn’t really making a whole lot of sense and that’s when Ayanna Age- Harville (aka Yan) stepped in and handled both issues! She was AMAZING throughout the whole process of KIA replacing both engines! She kept me updated every step of the way! She loves her customers and truly cares about them. Now don’t go acting like a fool though bc she ain’t bout that drama. Best service rep I have dealt with by far!!! Go see her!

Ayanna in the service department is truly a lifesaver. I came in stressed about my car, and she treated me with so much patience and kindness. She explained everything clearly, kept me updated, and made the whole experience feel easy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people, not just cars. I’ll always ask for her from now on.

He answered all my questions and when he was needed he politely passed me off to Porshe. Porshe was down to earth and patient. She made me feel like I knew her for years. My whole experience was easy, fast, and very organized. I would recommend them to everyone.

I initially had a positive experience with University Kia when I brought in my 2018 Honda Odyssey for a check engine light diagnosis through my Assurant extended warranty. My service advisor, Anthony, was friendly and helpful during the intake process. The dealership even assisted us in obtaining a rental vehicle through Enterprise when we encountered issues, and I appreciated that effort. Unfortunately, my experience took a dramatic turn on the day I attempted to have my vehicle transferred to a Honda dealership after being informed that the repair was actually covered under Honda’s warranty rather than my extended warranty. Anthony informed me that Honda would need to handle the repair, which I completely understood and immediately began coordinating. The problem arose when University Kia refused to release my vehicle due to what they claimed was an unresolved Enterprise rental issue. After contacting Enterprise myself, I confirmed that the rental was being billed directly to my debit card, and I immediately relayed that information back to the dealership. I was repeatedly told it would take ā€œjust five more minutesā€ to send me my invoice so the vehicle could be released. As time passed, the situation became increasingly frustrating. The Honda dealership was ready to pick up my vehicle and potentially complete the repair that same day, but University Kia continued to delay the release. Multiple follow-up calls resulted in either being hung up on or having my calls declined. The only way I was able to reach someone was by calling anonymously. What concerns me most is the lack of communication and professionalism. Despite providing proof that the rental vehicle was my responsibility and not University Kia’s financial obligation, I was still unable to get a clear explanation or timely resolution. I ultimately had to escalate the matter, request management involvement, and send a detailed complaint to the service manager. While the initial customer service was pleasant, the way this situation was handled on the day of vehicle release was extremely disappointing. Better communication, accountability, and customer service could have prevented hours of unnecessary stress and frustration. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service department.
