Nice experience

Customer service is awesome, the person behind the counter was very helpful. After the job was done they even washed the car as a compliment. Thanks

First-rate service at a fair price!

Service adviser was efficient and decisive in recommending the right service and getting my car checked in. I was in and out in an hour, precisely as promised.

First Kia Is The Best

Benjamin & John made the experience smooth and fun. The investment of a new car can be stressful and they made it enjoyable. They made us feel like family. Also my sister came by and purchased a new car at First Kia yesterday and they enjoyed the experience. That you again to Benjamin and Johnny Kia!!

Great staff

Very friendly and helpful staff, especially sales rep Collin who helped me through the whole buying process. He was very transparent, up front and came off as a genuinely nice guy. Also the large selection of inventory that was sure to have the perfect kia model I've been looking for

Simi Valley First Kia - Second to None!

Firstly, everybody in the service desk area really has come to know me, personally. I feel appreciated and understood. I hope the people at Kia feel the same way when working with me. Next, I feel confident that I always get the absolute best and most honest pricing for services. Thirdly, I now have my 3rd Kia Optima, but still own my first. This most recent service was for my 2002 Kia Optima. The cars are great! Love it all.

Diane, thanks for this great review! We can't tell you enough how much we appreciate our service team. They do a fantastic job and we are very happy that they were there to take care of you! Thank you again and we always look forward to working with you again in the future! Johnny Kia, GSM | johnnykia@firstautogroup.com | 805-306-1005

Robyn Rocks!

Robyn was probably the first person I met from Simi Valley 1st Kia's Service Dept in 2003. She's still GREAT in 2016! She makes a personal effort, every time I visit, to ensure I receive the best price, exactly the services requested or authorized, and fastest completion time. She's an absolute delight to work with every single time... and there have been a LOT of times we've worked together to maintain my 3 Kia Optimas since 2003.
