Pedro is the best!
Pedro is the best!!! I came in for a recall and he helped me out tremendously by filing a claim for my tire… Then let me know when it was approved so I can come back to get the tire put on.

I want to thank Shelly in the service department for making the big repair of my Kia (older) a good experience. She kept in constant contact with me while it was being service. She made me feel confident that the job would be done properly, and it was! Whoever the mechanic was, thank you so much. I can't believe how much better my vehicle is. If I can get this excellent service every time. I will stick with buying another Kia! Thanks again Shelly and the mechanic!!! Maureen G

Thomas Kia of Highland review
This is my second Kia that I have bought from Thomas Kia
This is my second Kia that I have bought from Thomas Kia in Highland. I have had the great experience there for shopping for my new cars and used cars. George was my salesman. He is a wonderful professional salesman. He is very uplifting with a beautiful personality. He is determined to find you exactly what it is you want and he did with mine. I am very pleased with my new car and my used car. I advise anyone out there who was looking for a vehicle to go to Highland Thomas Kia, and ask for George. You will not be disappointed and you will come home with a car that day. Thank you so much for getting me exactly what I was looking for.
