Description of the problem	When i took my 2013 kia sorento to rick case kia (duluth ga) for scheduled maintenance in dec 2014, i was advised that the car needed alignment and brake fluid flushing. I declined both services and had only the scheduled maintenance work done. When i returned to the same dealer on 10/12/15, i was told i no longer needed the previously recommended alignment and that the brake fluid was okay. While i was initially relieved that i was longer had to pay hundreds of dollars in unnecessary expenses, i am currently worried about the safety implications of the accuracy of your car inspection and recommended fixes. I really don't know if it was the initial, or the last evaluation that was accurate. Moreover, i am yet to get any reply to all my numerous emails, messages and letters to rick case kia and kia consumer assistance center.
