Best salesperson at Premier Kia

I had a very positive experience when I was looking to get a car at Premier Kia Dealership. My salesman was Ryan Munisato and he patiently walked me through every detail. He constantly updated me on availability of cars and made me feel very comfortable with no added pressure. You will be very satisfied working with Ryan. He was a pleasure to work with. Ask for him when you arrive there.

I got my 1st car from Mike Pearson and some drunk guy crashed into my parked car. Not only did Ryan take care of me he made it easy when I came in to sort things out and I drove off the same day I went in. Thanks to the team and I’ll definitely be back.

Hi there, thanks for highlighting some of our staff who helped make this such a great experience! We sincerely value your business and look forward to your next visit!

Great dealership, go here first for a car.

We were looking for a car for my daughter. We already have a Sportage. The Soul was something that she liked. We went to a few dealers but the games were rediculous. Premier had a nice 1 yr old Soul. At a fair price. It was a bit of a drive up there but the price of car was worth the drive. Expecting the typical dealer games I was suprised that I did not incure that. Ryan Munesato met us and I was pleasantly suprised with his professionalism. We test drove the car and decided that we wanted to buy. A little negoation and it was painless. I was very happy with Ryan, and Premier and would recommend to look there first for a nice car.

Hello Roberto, thank you for sharing your amazing experience. Until the next time we meet, take care!

Bought a new car

Easy process. Ryan was great, professional and transparent. We were able to negotiate, so that I was happy with my monthly payment which was my main concern. The paperwork process was quick and they ensured that I was informed of everything that I was signing. I absolutely love my car!

Hi Gabriela, we are glad that Ryan was able to provide you with such a great experience! We hope we can be of assistance again, and truly thank you for your time and business. Have a beautiful day!

Highly satisfied customer!! 😁

Took the plunge recently into the plug-in hybrid world with a Kia Sorrento! We absolutely love it! The whole process of trade-in and lease signing was great! Ryan went above and beyond! If you visit the dealership ask for him! And special thanks to Eddie who made this possible for us!

Hey Allyson, thanks for your praise and kind comments about our team. We're looking forward to your next visit with us!

Best vehicle purchasing experience ever

We had the best vehicle purchasing experience with this dealership. Eddie took the initiative to ensure we didn’t have to sit around and wait at the dealership like we are used to and offered to deliver the vehicle to our front door. He was very knowledgeable and explained the entire process with us. Then Ryan delivered the vehicle and ensured we understood everything about it. As a team both Eddie and Ryan provided the best car experience we could ask for!
