Kia Ranked #1 in Mass Market Brands by 2021 J.D. Power Dependability Study
2022 Kia Sportage with optional features shown above.
When it comes to reliability in vehicles, you can certainly count on the Kia models that we carry here at World Car Kia North! In 2021, Kia was ranked at the top of the list in dependability from J.D. Power, so you know that owning a Sportage or Sorento means they will last you for years to come and be your partner-in-crime for work commutes and all of your weekend escapes. Read about this award that it garnered below!
Kia Ranks #1
If you choose to purchase a Kia model from us, you know that you are in good hands. The J.D. Power dependability study that was completed shows that of all the categories of problems that were ranked amongst all brands, Kia resulted in a small number for every 100 vehicles polled. Along with this, Kia jumped six spots from where it was the previous year. Not only that, three of its models—the Sorento, Sportage, and Optima helped Kia specifically earn this award, so you know if you decide to get behind the wheel of one of these models that it’s going to serve you well for many years. Plus, if you’re still not convinced, the award is granted to vehicles only after three years of ownership, meaning Kia has proved amongst its competitors that its automobiles are in it for the long run.
J.D. Power Dependability Award
As mentioned, the J.D. Power Dependability Award is given to models that show they have as few problems as possible. More specifically, a survey is conducted from over 80,000 vehicle owners that have had their car for three years to see which brand reports to have the lowest problems within this short time of ownership. Those that end up with the smallest number ultimately are awarded the top spot. The study also looks at various different issues the drivers are having and how dependable the vehicles actually are to make their final decision. In the end, each segment ends with a winner and an overall manufacturer is chosen!

“ Yesterday, June 29; 2018; my mother took in her car to get serviced at Mazda KIA North 12115 IH 35 North in San Antonio. The service we received was amazing, but this is not the reason I am writing. The young lady that helped us is the reason I am writing. Unfortunately we did not get her name but the way she treated us was, for lack of finding the just words....Angelic!!! She made us feel so welcome, at ease and as a part of a family. This meant the world to me because I value and treasure my family. As as a school teacher, my time is very consumed with tasks all year round and I often worry about my elderly mother & brother. She is on a fixed income (Social Security Check) & my brother is a recent cancer survivor. If this was not enough, we recently had a death in the family, so you can say we were having a rough week. The young lady was very caring and very helpful. We just wanted to let Management know about the magnificent job this young lady is doing. Please let her and her supervisors know about the great job she is doing. ”

“ I purchased my Kia from another dealership out of state. I was having issues with my A/C and tried to get them to check it out. Called on the phone explaining the issues. They asked me to bring the car in. They checked it and said it would be about 4 hours. They supplied a shuttle to my work and even provided a shuttle 4 hours later from my job back to pick my vehicle up! They fixed everything free of cost!!! I cant truly say how happy i was with the entire experience and service provided. If they happen to read this, huge shout out to Ms. Jonny with the service department, you were extremely courteous and helpful. ”

“ We had a great experience a WC Kia. We came in with our eyes on the Sorrento and a goal in mind on our monthly payment. Our salesman, TC, found us exactly what we were looking for. He even gave us a call a few weeks later to check up on us to see how we were doing with our new ride. Thanks TC, when we finally move on to the minivan we will give you a call. ”

“ For starters, I was a first time car buyer, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tony was extremely patient and helpful, and I never felt like I was getting the 'run around'. I intended to purchase a used mazda, but at the end of the day I ended up with a brand new Kia! (That was my choice, no pressuring from Tony at all) Tony spent time looking for used cars within my price range, honestly trying to find something that would work. Kia wasn't on my radar, but when my Dad brought it up, and we started talking about it, Tony was able to assist us with that purchase, even taking us over to the Kia office (Really in the same parking lot) to finish. All in all, I have no regrets, and I happily recommend you go talk to Tony if you're looking to purchase a car. ”
“ I hope this message gets to the right place. I would like to tell you about my experience with your service department. I received a letter from Kia USA about an update to my 2015 Kia. I decided to take it to your dealership because its near my home. Walking into the service department I was greeted by one of your associates and immediately felt great about stopping in. My service advisor was Lindsey Lewis. I can't say enough about her professionalism and manner. She really is a gem and I hope you appreciate her. If all your associates conduct themselves like her you are going to be very successful. Let me assure you that by this one person going above and beyond all my future car purchases will be with your location. I would like to thank you again and please tell Lindsey she made my day much brighter. Lauren R. ”
