We had to unexpectedly buy a new car. We went in knowing exactly what we wanted. The staff was so friendly. One salesman even bought my son a candy bar from the vending machine. We got an amazing deal for our Kia. They were so honest and helpful. I recommend if you live in the area to buy a car from them. They really go above what I had expected.

I was introduced to Fernando Ramos through my Godbrother Curtis Burton. Throughout the entire process, my experience was absolutely great. I couldn't have had a better salesperson better than Fernando. I have been wanting a Kia Soul for over a year, and my experience in Las Vegas was was not ver encouraging. When I told Curtis what I was looking for, he immediately contacted Fernando and within a week, I was blessed with what I asked God for a year ago. Thank you Curtis and Fernando!!! You both will be blessed for being a part of my purchasing experience. My SOUL says YES...!!!!

Fernando Ramos is very knowledgeable about the Kia Sorento EX SUV. We went for a test drive in this vehicle is it is really a nice vehicle. He went over the operation of this vehicle. Also, setup my bluetooth phone for me. I would highly recommend working with this salesman. Awesome dealership in Carlsbad, CA. The people are very friendly and nice.

Carlos Arias gave us the best deal for our Kia Rio. No one else in San Diego even came close to what he offered us upfront. No haggling needed which was the best part. He also took the time to find the exact model we wanted. This is the third Kia we have purchased at this dealership and will only come back to this location specifically for all of our future purchases and servicing.

I was looking for a car and due to my night shift schedule I could not accommodate phone calls from other dealerships. Carlos was very accomodative via email. No pressure at all and he did not lie about the car being in stock. Excellent communication. Emailed me the Internet price so I could tell if it is within my budget. Very happy with the purchase.

I've been purchasing new cars for the past 30 years and this has been, by far, my most pleasant experience. Mr. Gonzalez has a very bright future in front of him! The dealership as a whole is doing a great job! I highly recommend this KIA dealer!

Fernando was one of the best salesmen with whom we have recently dealt. He listened to our specifications, met them, and was knowledgable of all incentives and rebates. I would highly recommend his services.

I visited a few Kia dealerships before contacting Elise at Weseloh Kia. She was so helpful and down to earth it was like talking to and old friend. She answered all of my questions and gave no double talk. We agreed on a price over the phone before I made the long drive to the dealership. When I arrived at the dealership Elise greeted me with a smile and an even lower price then we agreed on. The paperwork was simple and easy. In no time flat I was out the door in my new optima hybrid. Thank you Elise!
