I was in the area shopping on Saturday April 20th and thought I would stop by to arrange appointment to get oil changed. I was promptly greeted by service advisor Todd, who much to my amazement, said he could get my car in right now and it would ready in about an hour if I had time to wait. I told him that would be great, and I was pleasantly surprised when in about 35 minutes he said my car was ready. Also, there was no-charge as the first oil change was free and they did a fantastic job cleaning my car. The whole experience was friendly and efficient, and I will recommend this dealership to my family and friends without a doubt.

At my sister's (current Kia owner) urging, I went to Sands Kia to look at the Kia Soul. My sister and I were immediately approached by a friendly sales rep named Raymond. I told Raymond, I was not buying that night, only there for fact finding. I had already found the car I wanted, a different make and model at another dealership, but after working with Raymond, Paul, and the others, an offer to good to refuse was made and I am now the happy owner of a Kia Soul! I also had the pleasure, yes, pleasure of working with Shaun in the Parts Dept.

Sands Kia is by far the best Kia dealership in the valley. They treat you and your vehicle the way you expect to be treated. I have dealt with several dealerships in my life time and I will say they are wonderful. Stop by their dealership and give them a try. You won't regret it. Michael Ballard

UPDATE: Waaaayyyyy back in the archives of this web site...

UPDATE: Waaaayyyyy back in the archives of this web site rests my first review of Sands Kia in Surprise, AZ which was the most excruciatingly car experience a buyer could have. We found ourselves looking for a second new vehicle and were very interested in another Kia. After shopping the competition and being very unimpressed we decided to check out Sands Kia again and see if dealing with somebody new would produce a different result. I am happy to report that things have changed dramatically and for the better...the dealership is under new management with an entirely new staff, inclusive of service. There were no high pressure tactics, no game playing, no rude sales person, no lackadaisical attitude from management! We were greeted with a smile and a sincere desire to learn what our need was and find a vehicle that would fulfill those needs, at a price that was fair and acceptable to us. The personnel at the dealership that we dealt with that day were knowledgeable, courteous and got us exactly where we wanted to be...out of an old vehicle and into a new Kia Sorento...which we LOVE! This was a car buying experience that happened in a fraction of the time we were at the dealership in 2011 and everything that Sands Kia said they could do they did. We are very glad that we gave this dealership a second look because we would have missed out and settled for a vehicle that we did not necessarily want or were happy with. CONGRATULATIONS Sands Kia for a job well done and thank you, thank you, thank you from a very satisfied customer!

We had an after market radio with navigator system put in after purchase. Shaun was extremely helpful and patient with us while teaching us about the operation and putting in the bluetooth information for our phones. Neither of us are very tech savvy and appreciated his knowledge. It has been a pleasure doing business with Sands KIA and we would not hesitate recommending them to anyone. Thanks Tim and Merling Rogers

I went in to get the oil changed and tires rotated on my 2011 Sorento and to have some questions answered on what to do since my lease was going to expire in a couple of months. At the end of the day I drove off with my new 2013 Sorento. The whole experience was great and working with Kelly really put me at ease. At all times he was very professional and led me through the process with the confidence and assurance that I needed. I will definitely be back in three years to get my new Kia!
