Report
We had a recall on our Kia Sportage that we never received. It was a knock sensor recall. Long story short the motor blew in the car. We tried to work with the dealership where we purchased the vehicle, they said there was nothing they could do about it. We then took it to Russell Barnett and spoke with Scott in the service department. He went above and beyond trying to get Kia to cover it. Kia said no. Scott told us there were other recalls that they fixed while they had it. We decided to put a new motor in it. Scott said it would be 7-10 business days to replace the motor. Well they had the motor

Needed a transmission in my Kia Soul, still under factory warranty. Murfreesboro was 3 months out and said no one around was doing work. Called Russell Barnett, told me to bring it in. I brought it in on a Wednesday, and Tuesday rolls around and they already had the new transmission installed. I was blown away. Car runs great now and I'll be a loyal customer. Thank you Russell Barnett

Ordered a 2021 Telluride and waited quite a while for it to come in... my salesman Eddie was the best... and I talked with Russell, and John the manager, on many occasions when I went in on a Saturday to put more cash down while I was waiting. The best thing was how well I was always treated by all. I've never know a group of car sales people that were more honest and serving than these people! And what a great deal! I ended up getting a 2022...

Went in looking for a certain car. Left with something way better and for less money. Eddie made us feel at home and the staff were all amazing and accommodating. Had to have some minor service done after the purchase and the service department was extremely efficient and friendly. I definitely recommend Russell Barnett Kia. Excellent service!

I have been in the automotive business my whole life, up until recently I was the Fixed Operations Director for a Kia Dealer in Nashville. I drove an hour and half for basic service on my daughter’s 2016 Optima, I didn’t have an appointment, no problem Scott told me. As I sat in the waiting area, full view of the Advisors area, I saw something… amazing, both Scott and Becky were taking care of their customers. Mr. Barnett, I believe you have a good group of people. 35 minutes later, for an oil change and tire rotation, unheard of, I was on my way. Thank you all.

I was treated horribly by the service manager plus the repair was far more expensive than it should have been. sooooooo very disappointed in them.
