What to do if your Kia has acceleration issues?
Make it clear upfront that you would take their findings to the KIA dealer if they agree that’s there’s a problem (and not have this shop do any repairs). If the cost of that is reasonable and affordable for you, IMO it would be your best chance to get this dealer going in the right direction.
What to do if Kia dealership disagrees with you?

I recommend that you find a good local shop, and discuss this situation with the owner/manager.
