I came back to KIA again because of their trusted and excellent service and they took my '03 KIA Sorento in for necessary repairs on time. The cost of labor and parts are reasonable along with great discounts. I highly recommend to anyone who owns one of KIA vehicles to Sands KIA for any service. :-)

I started going to this dealership,initially for the $8.88 oil changes. I found that this dealership has competive prices and it accepted most delear coupons. Overtime,using this dealer ship,I found that the technicians were allways right on with my repairs and fixed the problems,the first time. My Service writer Stephen Sanchez was always professional, courteous, always recommended my needed repairs and he always followed through with what he told me. I have found the the service manager, technicians, greeters, delivery people to be courteous, professional and always had a great attitude. I would recommend this Sands Surprise Kia dealership to friends, family and strangers for their Great service from all of their professionals. Stephen Sanchez has been the best and most Knowledgable service writer I have ever come upon,at a Kia dealership. SincerelyThank-you! Paul Christie!

I live in Prescott but happened to be in Scottsdale on 2/9/13...I had some spare time and realizing I needed an oil change and the fact I bought my soul from Sands I called from the car late on a Friday and Chrissy said no problem bring it in..I didn't realize how far I was away from Surprise and the thrill ( yeah right ! ) of driving on Bell Rd. from Scottsdale to Surprise..They accommodated me and were friendly as usual even washed the car...

I unfortunately was in a car accident and needed a replacement vehicle in a hurry. I did a lot of research online one night and found a used Kia Soul with low mileage at a dealership that happened to be very close to home. I drove to the dealership the next day and was greated by Belhem Cummins in the parking lot (not in a pushy manner, but in a very welcoming manner). I described the car I had seen online and she immediately knew the vehicle I was talking about. The process was incredibly smooth and painless and they worked with me and my budget to help me afford the car. I could not be more pleased with my experience at this dealership or the vehicle I purchased.

Quick, courteous service.

Brought my Kia in for an oil change on Wednesday. Fair pricing, no appointment needed and no high pressure upsell. I'd definitely recommend Sands Kia's service department to my friends and family.

I did not change to no when asked would I recommend this dealer, but I'm very close to doing so. The four times I've gone to the service department have not been pretty. The first time, I had an appointment and was told the service wouls take 45 minutes. An hour later, I went to check on my car and they hadn't even pulled it in for service. I had to leave because I had other things to do. The seond time I went in for the same service, they were done in twenty minutes. A service they said would be forty five. They even explained why it takes that long. It took less time than they said one of the items takes on its own. So, did I get everything I was supposed to? It would seem impossible. The thirsd time, I left my car there because I didn't want to get upset. The fourth time, I had an appointment. Ninty minutes into my oil change, I decided to find out what was taking so long on an appointment for an oik change. They said it was done. It was just sitting up on the rack. I opted out of the car wash due to time contraints. I have had nothing but unnecessarily slow service or such fast service I wonder if my service was actually performed. Unpredicatble should not be a term given to your mechanic.

On behalf of the entire team at Sands Kia, I would like to apologize for your experience. This type of customer service is unacceptable for our standards. We would like to further understand what happened as it helps us to grow as a dealership. Would you be open to contacting us at your earliest convenience? We look forward to hearing from you.
