Kia Niro

The salesman that I worked with Cory did not pre-judge me like most dealerships did. He wanted to work with me to get me the car that I wanted (Kia Niro) and he spent the time to make sure it was a good deal and I was happy.

Outstanding Service

Top notch courtesy, clear communication about car's condition and low pressure recommendation for additional maintenance. I highly recommend this Kia Dealership.

Great service department

A salesman called me to tell me I was eligible for the pull ahead lease program. After I got to the dealership it turned out I was not eligible because my vehicle had been in an accident. The salesman told me he could still get me into a new lease vehicle however he didn't explain that my vehicle would be a trade-in and I would be charged for one payment plus excess wear and tear on the vehicle

Nice inventory, Great Sales staff

My sales person Corey and his manager were friendly and informative. No high pressure. The paperwork processing was fast and easy. The car was cleaned and ready to take home promptly even though it was near closing.

Great service team!

Robyn and Jimmy are so great. Super hands on and friendly. Jimmy helped me immediately fix a problem with my gas cap and when I had to return for a service, he helped me schedule right away. Robyn is so knowledgeable and explains services needed very clearly. Been coming to the dealership for 3 years and will continue to!
