An Awesome Car Dealer

The process was simple and without pressure from the salesman. I got a good value for my trade-in plus I got a very good deal on an Optima. This is the first time, that I actually enjoyed buying a car.

Great Car, Great price, Excellent Service!

Our salesperson Ramon was extremely knowledgable and helpful in choosing the right car. As we worked through the purchase we met several managers and all were extremely nice and helpful.

Great facility!

Vince Rekowski, the service manager, went out of his way to make me feel comfortable. Everything was explained in detail and the price was right on the money. I will defiantly refer friends and co-workers alike to Vince and First Kia.

First service experience at KIA Simi Valey

On my first service at KIA Simi Valey, I enjoyed the friendliness of the personnel and the patience and time their mechanic took to do an extended test drive, to understand what the complaint was. More than that, KIA even suggested that we jump in and drive a totally new vehicle, same model as mine, to hear if its suspension behaves the same way as mine, when going over a specific bump in the parking lot. That I thought was going beyond the proverbial "extra mile". Kudos to Kia Simi Valey and highest marks thus far on everything. Gave 4 start to the facilities because the showroom is fairly small and the decor sufficiently modest to prevent the dealership from having on display the flagship KIA vehicle of the moment - the KIA K900. Would have loved to have seen it but it was NOT available in the showroom, at this particular location. I'll continue to service my 2014 Optima SX Turbo at this location. I thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with everyone, even though I've been visiting them for the 1st time, and knew nobody, having just relocated from NYC.

AWESOME place!

I do not like care dealerships as a general rule. But FIRST KIA in Simi Valley is THE exception. Friendly service with a smile. All technicians and consultations go above and beyond the call of duty. CLEAN lounge area, too!

Great car buying experience

The salesperson we had Michael Peters was outstanding. He accomplished doing the best for me to get me into the car we wanted and he did the best for Kia. I've been in sales for over 30 years and I know a great salesperson when I deal with one and Michael was excellent. Negotiating was the usual back and forth but once the price was agreed upon then there were no further changes. The deal was the deal as it should be. First Kia reached an agreement with me and stood by it. None of the usual car dealer games.

Refreshing professionalism and enjoyable :)

After having a paining experience with a different Kia dealership due to their lack of professionalism/ communication/ knowledge, etc., I was beyond pleased with one of your sales professionals Cory Kronick. He went above and beyond to accomodate and even made the experience enjoyable! We had laughs and he showed interest in our puppy and overall was more than I could have asked for. Thank you to Cory Kronick with my lease for personalizing our experience and redeeming the face of Kia at least in the eyes of my partner and I. :) Also to the Manager in Finance for making the finalization of the lease a breeze. -Alexandra Heisser & Anthony DeFranco
