Buying a Kia

I think Bob Delia from Wesloh Kia in Carlsbad is a genuine good guy and competent sales guy. He was extremely helpful and honest throughout the entire transaction

Not your typical dealer

I got tired of all the games the LA dealers were playing. I decided to call this dealer because of its great reviews. Spoke to Carlis Arias and he offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Immediately jumped in the car and drove 3 hours from la. Carlos greeted us as we got there. What a professional. Everything was straight forward, honest, and smooth. Since they didn't have the car I was looking for on their lot, Carlos did a search and brought the car over from another dealership. It was ready when we got there. I lease cars all the time and I've never ever had a smooth car buying experience as this one. No games. No hidden stuff. I'm now a customer for life. All you gotta do is call Carlos Arias. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Carlos. We love our new Kia Sedona. Our second Kia by the way. Great cars, design, and value.

Randy was incredibly helpful and friendly!

Randy was my salesperson and he worked very hard to get me the car that I wanted and pay the price I could afford. He was very kind and had a genuine desire to help me! I was very satisfied with his service and all of the Kia Weseloh service members as well. I will definitely recommend this location to others and will purchase cars from here in the future

Joshua Perry was truly an excellent salesman

Joshua was very outgoing and willing to help me find the car that suited me the best. After many negotiations fighting for the price I felt comfortable with. I was finally sold on my brand-new 2015 Kia Optima the look of it and the features this car offered really sold me off the bat I couldn't be more pleased! Thanks again Eric

New Car Purchase

I worked with Bob Delia on the purchase of a New Kia Sorento. I originally went in thinking I was going to have to pick from the used car inventory and Bob went to bat for me and I drove away with a beautiful new Sorento. It was the greatest experience I ever had a car dealership in 25 yrs. Instead of pressure all he did was help me try to get into the car of my choice. Even though we had some challenges it was the most relaxing experience. I would recommend Bob and the team at Weseloh to anyone. Larry

Outstanding service

I had my auto serviced at weseloh Kia and the staff was very professional, explained the process to me and gave me regular updates as I had plenty of work to be performed. Matt was available whenever I had questions and he took the time to explain everything and also made sure that everything was in great working order. All the guys there were professional and friendly and the work performed was A+. I recommend weslow kia to anyone for their next auto purchase or for auto service.

Go see Ariel!!!!!

I was driving around with my 1 year old in an 03 VW Passat. Beyond its last leg. I knew it was time for a new car as it was no longer safe to put my son in it. I pulled into the Kia dealership. At that point I didn't even care where I went. I just needed a safe car in my budget. As I was aimlessly roaming around I was approached by Ariel. He clearly saw I was upset. Being a single mom and having to buy a new car was far from what I wanted to do. He turned a really bad situation into a seamless one. He even talked me through my tears. Made sure I was ok. First thing he asked was what was my budget. He felt for me. Once he got that the told me not to worry. Almost holding my hand through the whole process. He never tried to up sell me. His #1 goal was that we were safe and it was in my budget. Never steering away from that. He showed me my options which were very little. But I appreciated that. He kept my best interest at heart. He worked out a great deal and over exceeded my expectations. I'm in sales as well. I actually sell auto insurance for a large company. Not once did I get a sales pitch. I got a person to person experience. I will forever be greatful for that. And when I go back. Yes I will go back. He will be the first person I ask for. Very kind hearted man. Thank you again. I am loving my Malibu. And thank you for all the follow ups. Your Friend, Jaimie

Terrific Experience

I am now a two-time buyer at Weseloh Kia Carlsbad. The sales team is excellent to work with ... they're not pushy at all. The help you get into the right car at the right price and they take care of you after the sale. I highly recommend this dealership!

Awesome experience with no hassle

I recently visited Weseloh Kia to buy my Kia Sorrento about a week ago. Before my arrival I was dealing with a guy by the name of Josh Perry who over the phone was real helpful and invited me in to his dealership. As I was driving I could not help but dread buying this car based on past experiences with car salesmen. When I arrived my dread went away and was quickly replaced with hope and excitement as I was treated like family by Josh and his staff who were extremely helpful and not pushy at all. In fact I truly believe they would of rather not sell me a car then to sell me one I was not happy with. Once I agreed to the car I liked next was the financing where John did not try to upsell us with all of the extra stuff finance guys sell. I must warn you as nice and helpful as John is he is a Patriots fan but I was able to look past that as we are all human and make mistakes. I highly recommend Weseloh to anybody who does not want to feel pressured into buying a car or the hassle that usually goes with it. Thanks Weseloh for the awesome experience I will see you on my next purchase.
