Construction

I'm writing this review to make one name well known his name is Angel Romero and was the pinnacle of what a real sales associate should be !!!! A little over a year ago me and my future wife had a pretty horrible buying experience with larry stovesand we bought a 2008 landrover that appeared as a great vehicle but come to find out less than two weeks later every thing the original salesman told us was completely BShe told us that the vehicle had been completely checked out and was certified good to go . We shortly found out that that was a complete lie that facility didn't even have the equipment to do the job !!!! So after about 2,200.00$ later the vehicle was just a sub par money maker for the salesman . In the 6 to 8 months that followed my wife tried everything she could to get upper management to understand and accept that they had sold a le.on but nobody would listen or do anything about it and when you hand a business 10,000 cash you would think somebody would !!!! I had givin up but finally a small but very bright shining light took it upon himself to listen and his name is Angel Romero!!! He listed stayed in touch and convinced us to come back in and see if we could solve the problem which is more than anyone else ever tried to do eventhough we were at a Los of thousands of dollars he made a real difference in our most recent transaction he was very kind ,polite, well poised and a man that was much more trustworthy and we walked out with a great vehicle at a decent price. I was most of all impressed with his great attitude he didn't make us feel like we were just a problem in his day he actually called us to come in to the dealership to fix this ongoing problem when he didn't have to!!!!! Why he is not in a management position I really dont know but he should be!!!!!!! And in conclusion Mrs fail in the finance department is wonderful as well she took the time to explain all of our options to us she is a wonderful lady !!!! Whatever you do if you visit this dealership in my opinion do not request JHON he never seemed to understand that when you buy a vehicle it hauls your most precious cargo being children and or anything else atleast ANGEL ROMERO dose because he is a family man!!!!!

A Breeze!

Oba has exceeded my expectations by far. I appreciated the fine customer service and the quick turnaround. I truly appreciate him going over things with me step-by-step and making sure that I walked out to the dealership with a great vehicle

Chevy Malibu

I totaled out my car so I was looking for a used car and needed something quick. I had been to other car dealerships and they didn’t listen to what I was looking for... they tried to sell me a car that was over my price range.. so I went to Kia and Oba was very professional and asked me what I was looking for in a car. I told him and he found me exactly what I wanted with the right price. Everything went very smoothly. Highly recommend this dealership and Oba.

Great service

We went to the lot to find a new Kia. John Prather was the first to greet us. He was very knowledgeable and polite. We felt right at home right away. Very happy with our experience and will deal with him every chance we need in the future.

John Prather was great!

I contacted John Prather about a used car they had on the lot. He got me a test drive that day, however it was not exactly what I was looking for, so I am waiting. Otherwise, I would have definitely bought. He is on the look-out for exactly what I am wanting, and I trust him completely as he has never let us down before. He makes the process so easy, and that is why anytime we see something he posts that we like, or we need a new car, we contact him. Go see him. He will make your car buying experience way too easy. Also, the dealership is beautiful and has excellent customer service. Everyone is polite and tries their best to take care of us.

Customer

Researched midsize SUV’s to find one that would accommodate my size (6’8”), KIA’s Telluride fit the bill. Visited Larry Stovesand KIA dealership in Carbondale, Il and was pleased with both the dealership and the Sales Staff. “Oba” Obadele Oyeilumi was very helpful in showing the vehicle and patient while setting up our devices in our new vehicle. Highly recommend both!
