Great Service

Employees were very nice, especially Cameron. He was very helpful and was able to answer all of my questions. I didn't feel like I was sitting there for as long as at other dealerships as well.

Incredible experience at First Kia

The KNOWLEDGE. We cannot thank Collin enough for his patience, his guidance and plain old expertise when speaking of your vehicles. We were shopping for our teenage daughter's first car after her boyfriend had just had a huge accident in his vehicle over the weekend. We were looking for safety above all else. Collin listened to us and then walked us through all of the features of every model in the lot. We initially were on our way to another dealership for a completely different type of vehicle, but after having all of the facts presented to us, and experiencing the kindness of Collin K. at First Kia, we went back. And when the color we wanted wasn't on the lot- Collin went to pick it up for us- even driving it home to is AFTER the purchase to take the time to explain to my daughter how everything worked. We simply cannot praise him enough- especially after having so many bad experiences with other larger dealerships in the area that make a customer feel uneasy. Collin and First Kia will now be our go-to for our other children's cars when the time comes.

Superb service

Impressed by the fast service that would have taken 1 1/2 but in an hour time. I will try a second service for maintenance on my service lights.
