Hi Jacob, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us at Gettel Kia of Bradenton. We're happy we could meet your expectations! Thanks Again, J.P. Blair General Manager Gettel Kia of Bradenton

The absolute WORST kind of car to buy.

The absolute WORST kind of car to buy. Literal trash on wheels. It doesn’t matter how new you buy, in a couple years there will be a million recalls that they will refuse to fix!! There are SO many recalls on these mobile garbage cans. The company has a million lawsuits as well. This dealership is by far the worse! Don’t waste your money!!

For this car on CarMax.

For this car on CarMax. Asked for their “best price” on a car and got back an email stating the best price was $2k higher than what was listed. Too shady for me! No thank you.

Sadly I’ve already did a claim and heard back from NO ONE!! Kia has treated my like a number and not a customer, i genuinely regret purchasing. I did a claim and nothing still a sitting duck!!!!! Kia doesn’t care about our concerns! Claim was done months ago!!!!!

I really wanted metallic yellow but the salesman didn’t

I really wanted metallic yellow but the salesman didn’t even look for one for me Yet it showed on the website that the car I wanted was on the lot that we were at The dealership so I got a color I really didn’t want It was a 2034 Kia seltos metallic yellow for $27.. I paid $34,000 for a color I didn’t want..
