Great service!

Made an appointment for the same day and got it! Loved that I was in and out of there after an hour. Only for an oil change.

Kia is so straightforward; no pressure

I like the no pressure atmosphere the folks at First Kia convey. My husband was convinced that the "3 year anniversary free service" was a way to get me in there so they could try to upsale me, but no one even talked to me about buying a new car. It is no hassle, straight talk when I go to First Kia. They were like that when I bought my car and that's what keeps me coming back.

Great Car Buying Experience

I did not feel pressured at all. I had done research before and knew what I wanted and Colin took me right to the car. Very easy car buying experience. Would use them again!

Friendly, caring, outstanding service

Friendly and they took the time to explain what they will be doing and the costs ect. Because I don't know anything about cars . Was happy and satisfied when I left.

Great service, knowable and friendly.

Buying my new car was partly due to your salesman Derrick Shima. His patience and knowledge was impressive. I live in Tarzana but will have service on my new car in Simi Valley due to the service I received. Rosalie Rogers

Great service experience

Robyn, Vince & Chris took great interest in my needs & were all very professional. I would highly recommend them & their service dept. Just beware of the sales dept..don't believe anything sales tells you unless you get in writing & signed by a manager. Like many in sales, they'll say anything to get you to buy.

People are what makes a company great

The people. Robin on the service desk is always friendly, helpful and efficient. She's the face of the Kia dealership for me and she's a valuable asset -- just in case you didn't figure that out on your own.
