Michael Blackwood is the Man!!!

Michael was a great salesman and was extremely helpful. I was not familiar w/ Kia’s at all well now my mind is at ease and I will never own a different vehicle. He was very helpful in showing me all the features the 2016 Kia Soul that I purchased had on it I was very impressed!! I highly recommend Michael to anyone who wants to buy a new or used Kia. GREAT JOB MICHAEL!!!

We had an awesome car buying experience with Cathy!

Cathy was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to describing the features on our 2019 Sorento. She has a wonderful personality and she is super friendly! I will definitely be sending my family and friends that are looking to purchase a vehicle to see Cathy at Kia of Hickory.

Eli is awesome

After a little problem and speaking with management we were introduced to Eli and he was just amazing with us. He was very patient and stayed hours after close on two different occasions to help us get into our car. He went above and beyond to get us where we needed to be. Thank you so much Eli.

Charger

I had a very good experience with Chris Gallegos. Not only did I learn a few things about the cars I've had but he helped me think of some better ideas when buying a new one from here on out.

First time service

Very easy to schedule. They gave me a accurate estimate of how long it would take. However the price seemed a little high for oil, filter, cabin, filter change and inspections of fluids
