Hi Jonalyn, Thanks for the great review and kind words about Cary here at Manahawkin Kia. We hope to see you again in the future! Have a great day!

Sold us a lemon

If I could give them zero stars I would. We bought a used 2013 Kia Optima for our son in July 2022. We noticed the car kept losing oil. In September we took it to the Kia dealer by us and was told that it was an oil consumption problem. We were told that this was a problem with this engine and that the dealer would have known this when they sold us the car. When I called Manahawkin Kia, the manager told us we bought the car as is. So basically they sold us a $16,000, unsafe lemon, that now my 17 year old has to pay off. They should be ashamed of themselves. I would never buy another car from them again nor buy another Kia.

Thank you for the review! It is great to hear that Vincent was professional and nice to work with. We're grateful for your committed business! See you next time.

Great service!

I had an issue with my Kia Rio’s door locks. The dealership’s service department really came through for me and fixed this issue as well as another issue with door handles that was discovered during the repair. Special thanks to Vincent and Thomas for their outstanding customer skills during this repair.
