I wanted to take a moment to commend my salesman, Geo,
I wanted to take a moment to commend my salesman, Geo, for his outstanding service. From the beginning, I communicated my expectations, and he not only met them but exceeded them. His professionalism and dedication truly made a lasting impression. Thanks to Geo and the team at Kia, I’ve had a car-buying experience unlike any other. I would confidently recommend him to anyone in search of exceptional service.
I have owned a Kia Forte for 7 years now.
I have owned a Kia Forte for 7 years now. My husband and I love it! We do regular oil changes and maintenance, and keep the car in the garage. At almost 60,000 miles it needed new tires and brakes, but that's not a big surprise. We LOVE the performance of this car -- the turbo function makes it fun to drive and great for passing. It's compact enough that we can park anywhere. And the hatchback is surprisingly large! We ended up selling our Toyota Camry and keeping our Kia because the Kia is a workhorse that hauled furniture and boxes for my husband's business. Way more room than the Camry when we needed to haul things or take our electric bikes on an adventure.

It's been 6 years since I bought my Forte 5 LX.
It's been 6 years since I bought my Forte 5 LX. There were times I drove it 400 + miles a week on crappy Northern California freeways for field work and the only thing replaced was the battery, tires and plugs. It currently has 120,000 miles. This one has a GDI engine but no sign of engine problems. It's the basic LX version and I'm soon putting 16" wheels on it since the 15" steel wheels have that rust look. Overall, this car has been very good to me and is great for a retired person.

The car buying experience was so smooth.
The car buying experience was so smooth. We traveled an hour and a half to check out the car. Jordan had the car ready for us and we were test driving it within minutes of arriving. Jordan was very open, nice and made our experience wonderful.

I was very satisfied with the service and the friendly people who helped me. Very customer oriented facility. Knowledgeable and competent staff. No further requests or recommendations.
Affordable and reliable
I bought this car cause of my 2014 Chevy Cruze giving me problems since 2019. This car I would recommend cause it was affordable and it’s smooth and reliable. I bought this car three weeks ago with very low mileage. It may be a used car but it’s new to me.

Absolutely a great experience!
Absolutely a great experience!! The salesman Scott Durso was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process. I appreciate him and the finance guy who I cant remember his name. They treated my daughter and I with the utmost respect. I would definitely recommend him and the dealership.
50/50
No problems other than having to replace coil packs 2x and a multitude of headlights and tail lights. Literally about two every 5-6 months. Other than that good car.

Who knew?
Who knew? We sure didn't know how EASY it was to sell our car at CARMAX. We completed the online questionnaire and received an online offer. We liked it! When taking our truck in to El Paso's CarMax West, we were greeted with smiles and efficiency. Brittany examined our truck inside and out and gave us the same price as our online offer. With her assistance, we were in an out in less than an hour with a check in our hand. I would HIGHLY recommend selling your vehicle to CarMax. Get your online offer and take it in. Easy Peasy!

No problems The 4 July keep me from picking the car as it had to be serviced. That is the one thing I would change is no show a car for sale until it’s ready to go with the customer.

Hands down, the best dealership in the United States!
Hands down, the best dealership in the United States! From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I was in a place that truly values its customers. The level of professionalism, warmth, and genuine care displayed by the staff is unmatched. This isn't just a dealership, it's an experience. What sets this team apart is its extraordinary customer service. Every interaction feels personal, as if you're reconnecting with old friends rather than meeting someone for the first time. Several team members made me feel like they'd known me for years, remembering small details and going out of their way to ensure I felt comfortable and valued. The staff is not only knowledgeable and efficient, but also incredibly kind and approachable. Whether you're buying your first car or returning for service, they treat you with the same level of respect and enthusiasm. It's clear that this team is passionate about what they do—and it shows in every handshake, every smile, and every follow-up call. To say they have an excellent team would be an understatement. They’ve built a culture of excellence that radiates through every department. If you're looking for a dealership that combines top-tier service, heartfelt hospitality, and a commitment to excellence, look no further. This is the gold standard.

We were interested in a vehicle at CarMax about 275 miles
We were interested in a vehicle at CarMax about 275 miles from where we live. We paid to have the car delivered to the location near us. There was nothing specific that the CarMax dealer did other than be sure the car was moved as quickly as possible. We did not visit the location where the car was being offered and the car was not delivered to our home.
