A Truly Wonderful Car-Buying Experience! I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience at Kia of Riverside! From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and welcomed. A special thank you to my salesman, Elijah who was absolutely amazing! He was kind and patient, extremely knowledgeable, and never made me feel pressured. I had my heart set on a hybrid, and Elijah went above and beyond to find the exact car I wanted. And it wasn’t just Elijah. Every single person I encountered at Kia of Riverside (Logan and Michael) was friendly and helpful. It didn’t matter whether they were directly involved in my purchase. I drove away in my new Kia Sportage Hybrid as a very happy customer!

They simply do not respond to phone calls, emails, or text messages and ask stupid questions of the customers.

Armando and Javier were amazing. I just now brought the the Telluride in to have the tires rotated and they had just checked in and out of there in about 15 minutes.

This dealership (like many) used scummy sales practices to get me to purchase. During the sales process, I was told multiple times by the salesperson from whom I purchased the vehicle that the car I wanted qualified for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. This was clearly and repeatedly communicated to me as a qualifying vehicle. I want to be very clear: this representation was the primary and deciding factor in my purchase of this vehicle. I would not have moved forward with the purchase had I been told otherwise. Upon doing my taxes this year, I found out that the car I purchased did in fact NOT qualify for the tax credit, because the battery manufactured was not made in the US. I messaged the dealership to figure out what solution we could come to for this clear misrepresentation and was basically told to kick rocks. Would avoid this dealership at all costs

Amanda was a great help. She really knew her business and did not try and wasn’t pushy or overwhelming at all. Made my daughters first Car experience great because she talked to us like real people and not like a used car salesmen. Great job Amanda on being real. I definitely would recommend her to friends and family. PS she also went above and beyond by picking up the car we wanted from a sister dealership and even dropped it off at our home! Great work ethic!

Ron needs to be fired and investigated for fraud immediately. Since Ron took over as service manager, the department seems to have seriously declined. Staffing appears to be an issue, and during my visits I was told multiple employees have left, leaving the department understaffed and difficult to work with. I own two Kias that unfortunately require frequent service, and this is the closest dealership to me. On multiple occasions, Ron and Armando have refused to honor warranty-related repairs, instead looking for reasons to classify issues as non-warranty so that I would have to pay out of pocket. Most recently, I brought in my 2024 Carnival for a known issue. I was told the problem was caused by a part installed by the selling dealership and therefore not covered under warranty. When I contacted the selling dealership, their service manager said this is a known Kia issue that should be covered, and even attempted to reach Ron directly to explain. Ron would not take his calls. I had to go in person just to speak with him. When the situation was explained, he dismissed the other dealership’s input and continued to insist on charging diagnostic fees and rental costs. Only after hours of back-and-forth did he agree to waive those fees—but only if I removed the vehicle and took it elsewhere. While waiting for the paperwork to leave, I was then told—unexpectedly—that the rental vehicle had been damaged. This was extremely concerning, as I have clear photo and video evidence showing the car was returned in proper condition. I have included the full video of how the rental car was returned, as you can see, no damage at all. They also left my car in the hot sun, causing damage to the interior. While leaving, they even gave me another customers car keys that they had me walk out with because they didnt know what keys belonged to which customer. Since then, I’ve experienced ongoing billing issues, including multiple unexpected charges, which forced me to close my bank account.
