Excellent service with the friendliest people.

Talking with the people there I know, and knowing I can wait with a cup of coffee with a donut at the waiting room.. I also went to have someone show me the new 2015 Kia Forte EX I plan to buy in the near future. My favorite place to be to get my car serviced. Thank you all.

Great service friendly personell clean facilitie

Very friendly staff; careful note-taking of the symptoms I was describing about the vehicle; timely delivery of the vehicle; excellent work performed on the vehicle - the vehicle feels positively better, more composed, "more together" on the road - a.k.a. some annoying small source of rattling over certain bumps at certain low speeds has been identified and resolved.

Two Dollar bill

Very helpful service personnel and you were having a 3 day sale & I was encouraged to have lunch on you. I was hungry as I hadn't ate as yet & it surprised me as I wasn't buying a new car & was having my new car only serviced. I gave the Chef young man a $2 Bill for good luck. Best two dollar lunch I ever had! Thanks, Mike

Comfortable, clean, great service and food

I came to just look at cars, however, ended up buying one. I loved that it wasn't a hard sale pitch. I bought the car from Chuck, the best salesman ever. He took his time, and I ended up staying at Kia for 7 hours. He didn't care about the time and made sure I understood everything about the car. He helped me clean out my trade in also.
