From the moment we stepped on the lot to browse vehicles

From the moment we stepped on the lot to browse vehicles to the moment we drove the car home, this dealership and its staff (especially my salesperson, Jan and Manager, Pat) have been nothing short of amazing! They made the process easy, fun and stress free. I’ve purchased multiple vehicles from dealerships all over and this was by far my best experience!

I am very pleased with Coastal Kia.

I am very pleased with Coastal Kia. I have purchased two vehicles from them. A 2021 Sorento and a 2023 Sportage. Unfortunately, both of these vehicles suffer from the same issue. The engine is very rough under light acceleration and at low speeds. The neighborhood I live in requires that I drive under the very conditions that these vehicles perform the worst. The service department has been unable to find the issue after multiple visits and once told me that there was a factory document that claimed that this is normal for the engine that is in my vehicle. While I am very pleased with Coastal Kia, I will not purchase another Kia and wouldn't recommend this brand to anyone else.

Sedona pulled to the right, ask them to check it out and

Sedona pulled to the right, ask them to check it out and check the alignment. After driving it back to Topsail. The next day it was pulling again. Carried the van to Holly Ridge, they said the right side boot needed replacing, they replaced the boot and aligned my tires. Happy they new how to fix the problem and less expensive than Coastal Kia.
