Kia of Marin

I have bought cars from Eric and Brent. Started with a Sorento when my kids out grew my Mercedes. When children started to drive, Brent fit us with the perfect 6 speed clutch, Sportsmen. Now kids up and grown Mom drives the Kia Optima twin turbo sedan. I will always come back to Kia of Novato. Brent and Eric make it fun and easy.. plus Sharon in service gets5 stars from me. She is always happy and flexible to get my servicing done with my crazy schedule...

They had exactly the car i wanted at msrp. 2020 Kia telluride. No mark-up. No up-selling. Easygoing ppl.

I had been in the market for a Kia soul. I read up on what the Soul was like, it was similar to my recently destroyed Scion but better and quieter now that I have a new car. Due to difficulty in getting about and using a rental car, I finally made it to the dealer. I was there 5 minutes, shown two cars, both almost identical and said, "let's go". The price was right, it was explained to me and we went ahead, prepared papers, I left a deposit and said I would return with a personal check the following day. When I returned the car was ready, Mr. Kinney explained various operations but I told him I was anxious to leave and would read the owner's manual and not to worry about going through all the details as I am rather competent when it comes to instructions. I appreciate the help, the conversation, the friendliness and the honesty. I am happy with my new car, I will return for some extra items in the parts department that I want added and set up future maintenance as I pass them on my way all the time from San Francisco to Sonoma.

After visiting the dealership in Novato several times and test driving several cars we worked with Shawn Kinney who was excellent to buy a car with. We decided to lease and the process was very smooth with Jeff doing the paperwork. I'm so happy with the Kia Soul + that Shawn brought the exact one I wanted to the dealership and gave me a loaner car to use until it got there because they took my old car as trade in. I would highly recommend Shawn and this dealership to buy/lease a Kia from.

We purchased our vehicle there in Aug 2014 and the process was pleasant, easy, fair and fast. But they really "shined" when we had a major repair issue (not a quality or design-related issue) -- Sharon and the rest of the service team were amazing and went WAY above and beyond all expectations. They were 100% focused on making sure I had the optimal -- efficient and cost-effective -- result. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and highly skilled at their job. It is truly rare to find a group so clearly focused on achieving the best customer experience.

I had an excellent buying experience from Kia of Marin throughout the whole purchasing process. From Sarah to Shawn to Jeff the professional and friendly business encounter in buying my first time Kia was flawless. I would not hesitate one bit to recommend this team to any of my friends and or associates. I initially worked with several Kia dealerships via online in trying to find the right car at the right price. This place had competitive pricing and provided the details without having to ask multiple questions and trading endless emails. They were honest, complete and straight forward with their responses to my inquiries. I ended up driving 70 miles to this dealership and my family and I are glad we did. We ended up purchasing a Kia Sorento on our first visit from this dealership and completed the buying process from start to finish in less than two hours. A team of pros with a special shout out to Shawn Kinney who provided valuable information on the front lines about the Sorento's performance and features

We were looking for a new Kia Niro touring model with the technology package and Cerulian Blue. All of the other dealers that we visited were asking a surcharge on the MSRP. Kia of Marin gave use the manufacturer's suggest retail price for the car. Shawn Kinney was a great sales professional, he was very straightforward in his approach, no smoke and mirrors, no pressure. At least one other dealer that we visited we felt very pressured and there was no comparison to our experience with Shawn. When the car was ready for pickup, Shawn spent a considerable amount of time going through the operation of the vehicle. Since purchasing it 3 weeks ago, we have put over 1,900 miles on the car. We were happily surprised to find that our Niro, which is rated by the EPA at 40 mpg, has been averaging 46 mpg with 4 people in the car and up to 49 with one person at 60 mph on the freeway (driving for economy) and over 50 in local driving, again focusing on economy in driving. It does hop when needed to enter traffic or pass, but it is really at its best between 50 and 60 mph for fuel economy.

For our second purchase from the Novato, KIA/Toyota family dealership ..... we are so pleased!!!! Recommended by our good neighbors and friends..... we felt just as cared for this time as the last ...... and on every visit to the dealership for maintenance visits..... nothing less than family .... friendly excellent care!!!? Will enjoy our maintenance relationship from here to 10+ years..... then will be back for more..... Raises the bar on both purchase and maintenance!!! Maria & Shaun Treadway

Purcahsed car for son's graduation. Great experience from internet inquiry, to sales, to payment. Can't wait for my next purchase in two years for daughter in college.

Shawn Kinney made turning in my lease and getting into a new Kia a breeze. He did all the work in advance so my purchase was short and sweet. What I appreciate most is that he was honest, realistic, and ready to work for what I needed. Kia of Marin has always made sure my car was well taken care of during check ins and repairs.
