Joel “Gonzo” was fantastic to work with.

Joel “Gonzo” was fantastic to work with. My husband I throughly enjoyed his personality, professionalism and knowledge. There was zero pressure which is rare to find in a salesman and especially on a sales lot. Not only was Gonzo fantastic to work with so was everyone we met. A special shout out to our Finance person, T.K. He made our transaction very comfortable and (crazy to say)very enjoyable. Thank you, Gonzo!! And Kia team! You all rock!

I have known Joel for many years as a personal friend and

I have known Joel for many years as a personal friend and in business. I know he’s the best in the car sales business. So when our friends Doug and Cindy were looking at trading their 2017 Kia Soul for a newer Kia I brought them to Joel to take care of them. Joel worked out the deal for them very smoothly for a new 2026 Kia Sorento LX. If you’re looking for a new or used Kia go and see Joel he will take good care of you.

Joel was fantastic.

Joel was fantastic. He dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's for us! We needed patience and knowledge and got it all. Most importantly the dealership gave us time and did not push, so we were very comfortable with our decision. Thank you Gonzo! Thank you KIA

Gonzo is truly the best of the best!

Gonzo is truly the best of the best! This is our first Kia, and he took the time to help us learn how to navigate all the technology in the car and on our phones. We’ve purchased multiple cars over the years with Gonzo because he is trustworthy and always goes above and beyond. We also appreciate Justin Scott’s help, along with Tony in the finance department.
