Uebelhor & Sons Toyota review

Great experience on purchase of our new Grand Highlander.

Great experience on purchase of our new Grand Highlander. Everyone was very professional and gave us all the time we needed to learn the systems. The finance department was very efficient and was very thorough.

2006 Kia Optima EX review

Affordable and good for the money

It runs and rides good, the turn signal switch has a loose connection and shuts off dash lights/headlights/running lights at night but it is an easy fix. Comfortable vehicle to drive and an easy riding experience.

2006 Kia Optima EX review

Great Car

it is a good car. i loved the fact that it had the power when needed. It drives nice and smooth. Great car for a family. Fit my family of five and I have 2 boys that are over six feet tall. Plenty of room and if you were driving a long distance there was plenty of room.
