Not A Joke: This Dealership Worker Took A Customer’s Kia Soul For A 200-Mile Drive

Most people figure that dropping their car off at a dealership for service is safe enough, but every now and then we’re reminded that no assumption is safe. Occasionally, a dealership employee will make the news for crashing a customer’s fancy import or muscle car, but this is by far the strangest joyriding story we’ve ever heard.

For four days, a mechanic at Peak Kia North in Windsor, CO used a customer’s Kia Soul as his personal car, and didn’t even bother to fix the speed-volume control issue for which the customer brought the car in. The dash-cam footage from the car ended up implicating the employee, and justice has been served. The mechanic has been fired, and the dealership bought back the car and paid off the customer’s entire loan. What a ridiculous saga!
