Last time we had the car in, we asked for the drive battery SOH. Wife picks up the car and says they say the battery is "green",... what?
So this time, I specifically say "Hey, we're wanting to capture the drive battery SOH on the invoice, please have the tech connect the scan tool and download that".
Go to pick up the car and they had recommended 1) alignment, 2) brake fluid exchange, 3) replace 12v aux battery.
I'm looking through the paperwork and say "hey, I don't see the SOH" on here and he says we didn't replace the 12v and they couldn't connect the machine because the 12v was 0 SOH". I just stared at him. The car unlocks, powers up and runs both in drive mode and whatever the standby is when you don't put your foot on the brake when you press the start button. Also, the wireless ODB fob in the glovebox connects just fine. Soulspy just doesn't report the SOH. Temps, cell voltages, miles, vin, charge state, just fine but no SOH. All the same, it connected and downloaded without issue.
So now I don't know what to think about this Kia dealer other than just looking to scrw us over.
