This dealer and the people who work here did nothing but make my life better and easier. Everything was simple, easy, and straight forward with everything they did. It was by far the best car experience I’ve ever had. A special thank you to Kendall and Jakob, who went above and beyond to help me in my situation. Great place.

It is a nice and welcoming place for you to stay and wait for your car to be worked on. And also has an assortment of tools or accessories that you might need for your model of car (as long as its the same brand as the dealership).

Joey was a great salesman and he helped profusely to get me into a car. He knew everything about the car I purchased and even gave me his personal number if I had any questions in the future. I'd recommend Kia Sunset to anybody. Ask for Joey!!

Got the car I wanted but paid the price of getting it at Kia. Over promise under deliver and misled pretty much sums it up. Starting from Low ball trade in to price of vehicle. Couldn't get the advertised warranty on thier vehicles they sell. Paid high on extended warranty. Was promised to get my Maintenance B reset on my car that was showing over due for over 107 days but when attempting to bring my car to have it reset, was told that they could not do it, or no one there knew how to do it and the service manager said to bring it to Mercedes. Was supposed to get an additional key made at cost price, again, was told they could not do it and to bring it to Mercedes. Financed guy got me for $500 adding it ontop of the negotiated sale price and when ask about it, he said that additional cost was for the security feature or something they add on all of their vehicles they sale there. That feature was not on any of the line items. The cost of the car just showed an of $500. That was may fault for overlooking the agreement contract. So basically I got finessed out of $500 and did not want to deal with trying to get it back. Last, I took my car to a Mercedes dealership as they suggested and found out the Mantinence B was never done on my car so I just paid over $600 to get it done and to get an additional key made and programmed, it will cost over $700. For this reason I am giving a 1 star.

My experience was excellent. They performed a recall repair and provided an Uber so I could go home while the repair was being done. Someone immediately greeted me and opened ed the door for me and directed me to the appropriate person.

They need to have loaner cars readily available for customers. Instead I had to sit there for 4.5 hours waiting on my car because I had no way to get home

Sherylw, We are so sorry we were unable to provide a Service Loaner last minute. I completely understand that long wait times in any waiting area are rarely enjoyable. Unfortunately, we only have a limited number of loaner vehicles available for customers. Due to the high demand and limited number, we recommend reserving one in advanced. You can do this by calling our service call center at 253-321-5773. We also have a shuttle service that will operates in a 10 mile radius of the dealership. I know this does not help now, but I hope this will make your next visit to our service center more enjoyable. Thank you for choosing Sunset Kia and we look forward to seeing you again.
