I took an extra day off work and called round every KIA garage in the area working out if they could take us and if they had room to have a car sitting until they could.
But no KIA dealer in that radius could fit us in until mid April.
After years of mortgage, kids and other unavoidable expenses, I finally got my dream car last year - a Kia Stinger. A few weeks ago the lock cover on the drivers door came off (either knocked off or someone tried to break in). No major, first service coming up in a few weeks so I request a new one.
Turn up the the KIA service centre and get told that I should be at the
other service centre - 45 minutes away. Rather than driver across town and back (twice), I rebooked it, but had to wait another three weeks for a slot.
Dropped it off at the right one yesterday and when I came to pick it up, the lock cover hadn't been replaced - it takes 8-10 weeks to come from Korea. No flights between Korean and New Zealand anymore, dontchaknow?
So I've got an ongoing source of irritation - a beautiful car that looks like I bought it from a dodgy guy behind the pub.
Oh and a rattling issue that I logged before the service - needs a new part, which is 8-10 weeks away because, y'know...
