Very informative salesperson

Was very pleased with how knowledgeable and friendly our salesperson Jeremy was. We enjoyed working with him on our car purchase as he answered all our questions and spent time with us showing all the features on the car. Overall, a very good experience!

Great service

The wait was not long. You had a nice waiting room, with coffee and donuts :) The technician was knowledgeable and explained what he thought was important to do in the next couple of weeks. And the rest could do later.

Great service as well as Sales Department

Everyone is curteous, they go about doing their jobs in a professional, friendly manner, and the car is ready when they promised it'll be ready, sometimes earlier. Everyone is honest; they're not trying to sell services that are not needed. I never feelt pressured into accepting any extra service that I did not think was necessary, rather, I was advised against unnecessary work. I'm very happy with this dealership!

The service team always keeps me informed throughout the day. I think the pricing is fair. I am thinking of buying a second Kia for my daughter
