Hello, I'm Martial Lester. A father of 3. I grew up in the construction field, I got into sales by accident. Literally. After a work related injury I got into telemarketing, from there, retail sales, into the car business, I started off selling Ford/Lincoln. After being in the business, I found, there were other brands that offered more value, I shopped around, just like you, looking for the best value for my money, I found that value in Kia. The nation's best warrantied vehicle, now has the quality to match! The cars literally sell themselves. Come by, I can give you a product tour that will show you exactly what I mean!

Reviews

Easy-going, flexible and willing to negotiate nicely.

Easy-going, flexible and willing to negotiate nicely. Knowledgeable about product. Patient as we tired to make our final decision. I’d say the team went above and beyond to accommodate us and our needs/questions.

Teddy Beharry was an excellent salesman.

Teddy Beharry was an excellent salesman. Not pushy at all and was very knowledgeable about the 2025 k4 that we purchased. We will definitely come back and ask for Teddy by name

Marshall was quick to get me in a test drive when I walked in on a busy Friday. He didn’t try to upsell me. I knew what I wanted and he made it happen. I was very happy with the service and my car! Thanks so much!

Car buying can be a tedious process.

Car buying can be a tedious process. I had been in the thick of car buying for about 2 weeks when Martial from Halleen Kia contacted me. From the first phone call, I felt seen, supported and I knew that I was in good hands. Everything went so smoothly. All information given was up front so I could make an informed decision and he was very considerate of what my particular needs were. Martial was phenomenal! The Team at Halleen was dynamic! They made my family & I feel welcomed and I appreciate that. I am the proud owner of a brand new Kia Sorento & will definitely go back to Halleen for all of my needs as well as my family.
