An incident involving dealership employees taking a customer’s car for a joyride has surfaced in the media. As per the report, a Kia Seltos that had come in for repairs at M\/s Sun Global – an authorized dealership in Bhopal, was taken out for an entire night by an employee.<\/p>\n
The antics of the staff at the service station came to light when the owner received a notification via Kia Connect. The live tracking feature showed the car had taken several trips, which included a brief halt at a local liquor store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The data showed that the Seltos was driven at speeds exceeding 100 km\/h. It also revealed that the car was left idling for 28 minutes over a 1 km distance, which suggests that the dealership employees may have parked it with the AC running.<\/p>\n
The owner reached out to Kia Care with the evidence, who regretted the inconvenience and promised necessary action. Following an enquiry, the service advisor was found to be the culprit and was promptly discharged from his duties by the dealership.<\/p>\n
