So organized and pleasant. I went for service on my 2012 Sportage and went home in a 2021 Soul! My sales rep Kelvin was like a brother....I have no family to assist me and am a widow. He went out of his way to make my needs met and with the utmost professional manner. I'll be sending others his way if the opportunity presents. May God bless all of you as you serve our needs.

It was easy to make my appointment. They work performed was completed as requested in the time promised. Howard Ramsey was my service adviser as was extremely efficient, friendly and informative. It was a pleasure working with him again as in the past. I will continue to bring my 2016 Sorento to Coastal Kia for future service. The new facility is modern, clean, and appealing. They also adhered to current Covid protocols.
