Entire staff, especially Kevin, was so helpful in finding a car for me on super short notice! Great place, willing to work with you, not limited to Kias, and HONEST! Fantastic place- already recommending them to others looking for a new car!!

I LOVE my 2018 Kia Optima SXL. Car is fully loaded. 360 degree camera, Nappa Quilted leather, led exterior AND interior lights, pano sunroof, rear USB ports, front AND rear heated seats, front cooled seats, rear sun shades, and etc. Brought the car used from a reputable dealer in Ohio, got a GREAT deal, saving thousands! Test drove a few of its competitors ( Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Chevy Malibu) . This car wasn’t even on my list. I am so HAPPY HAPPY , oh did I say HAPPY with my first new car purchase...and my family and coworkers are. My recommendation... if you’re looking for a mid size car, test drive on of these! Thanks Kia for making a Stylish, spacious, sexy, sporty, and safe car ( the 5 S’s)!!!!!

Humberto was great to work with. I stopped in to look for a used car. He was easy to work with. Willing to let me try lots of cars they had to help me find the right fit. He was very patient. The management team also seamed reasonable and did not insult me form my requests, like other dealers. I ultimately decided not to buy a replacements car because of external personal circumstances . however, they were the best dealership that I had worked with, and would buy a car from them before any other dealer in the area.

rotors get rusty and sound like their grinding when applyingbreaks, expensive to fix. 16500 current miles . Rotors quality is poor. Check before buying. Thanks

I came in to Kia of East Hartford with the Idea of what I wanted and the price point that I wanted to be at and they accommodated and made it work with out any issues. Freddy my salesman and the whole team were great to work with. Freddy was knowledgeable about the cars and explained it all to me very well. I walked in and walked out with a brand new car thanks to them. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to purchase or lease a car. Thanks again to the whole team at Kia of East Hartford!

It is a major upgrade form the ‘02 Jeep I used to own; very modern! I like the fact that it is hands free device.

great experience with great sale team...fair value for my trade, they prepped and delivered the vehicle in less than an hour as i completed the transaction on a Saturday...whoa

I enjoy the car very much thus far ...what concerns me though is the fact that the 2.5 litter that I have in my optima had a recall for lower end knocking .... which turned out to be a huge recall

I came in based on a radio ad I had heard stating that they might give me up to $8,000 over Kelley Blue Book for a trade in. I was upside down on a car and frustrated. My husband and I pulled in and were greeted outside the front door by Ryan. HE WAS WONDERFUL FROM START TO FINISH! I admit that I can be a tough customer, and was honest and upfront about what I wanted and that I did not want the typical dealer run around, I just wanted numbers before I even bothered driving a car. Ryan heard me and truly respected that statement. Once the numbers were shown, which were do-able, we took the best and most complete test drive I have ever been on. Ryan was awesome at showing the ins and outs of the vehicles along with balancing getting to know us as people. He worked tirelessly to get me to the numbers I needed, and I ended up in an Optima as apposed to the Forte for less than the original number for the Forte. He was honest, straight forward, real, and very different from other sales people I have worked with. He was also very knowledgeable about the cars and processes. We worked together and negotiated to a good number (he communicated quite often via text or phone) and the car was ready in about 24 hours after the agreed upon amount. I came back the next night, the car had obviously been detailed and moved under cover due to rain, and the tank was full. Can I tell you how many times I've been given a new car with out a full tank of gas?? The woman who does the paper work came and took me since Ryan was not available at the moment. I don't believe she introduced herself, if she did, I don't recall. The paperwork process was lengthy, as usual, and she was friendly. She offered several "al a carte" ad-on options, which I turned down, despite her lowering the cost of the only one I was at all interested in several times. When I told her I was not willing to purchase the item, her mood changed quickly and the rest of the interaction was not nearly as friendly or polite and her thoughts were clearly on her face and in her body language. Questions I had obviously annoyed her. This interaction was the only hiccup in the entire process. I was happy when it was complete. Ryan OWNED the process. He worked with me from start to finish (except for the paperwork part) He discussed all payments, unlike other dealerships where they send the "manager" over to discuss $$, Ryan did it and did it well. He took a moment before the final handshake to show me several things in the car that he thought I should know, including setting up the bluetooth. I received a congratulations phone call from him the next day. I have NEVER gotten a phone call from the salesperson like that. I cannot say enough about Ryan. He truly was wonderful. And on top of it, I went into the whole process knowing nothing about and having never driven any Kia. I am very very impressed with my new Optima. I have driven Nissan Altima's for years, and most recently a Volvo. The Optima is an excellent car.

I love everything about this car it's great on gas not to mention one of the safest cars very spacious alot of trunk room i love my KIA

I've purchased a lot of vehicles over the years, both luxury brands & mainstream one, an my recent experience at Kia of East Hartford was by far the best experience I've ever had at any other dealer. Ryan Peterson was on point with everything, and went WAY above & beyond to make sure I had the best experience. The vehicle I was interested in was already pulled up front when I arrived, freshly washed & cleaned, PLUS he had it started and cooled down because it was a very hot day outside. Never has any other dealer took that much attention to detail. The test drive was extensive, and without being pushy or monotonous, Ryan lady pointed out many features and aspects of the car that I wouldn't think about paying attention to. When we got back to the dealership, without being annoyed or hovering, he let me spend as much time alone in the vehicle to really get comfortable with everything. The rest of the process was very quick and very easy. Upon delivery, the vehicle was completely clean & detailed. (The last 4 vehicles I bought from other dealers, on delivery day the cars were dirty, covered in glue from shipping wrapping, and not even filled with gas). I was really happy that Kia of EH took to that level of attention. Marrissa in finance, made the paperwork process incredibly quick while still explaining everything and going over extra options I had. I'm happy I bought a Kia and even more happy it was from Kia of East Hartford! I definitely recommend this dealership to anyone!

This was a great car! Amazing gas mileage and very reliable. I highly recommend this car for anyone that's looking for a affordable car that has great gas mileage.

Just bought a suv from Kia of East Hartford today, our salesman Miguel Aponte was phenomenal and went above and beyond for us. Even when we thought things weren’t going to work out due to our own credit he kept his word and stayed in contact and tried everything he could until we drove away in our beautiful Sorento. We are very impressed and pleased with this dealership. Very friendly staff also. One salesman even came over and played with my daughters, now I wish I caught his name to add him in the review for amazing customer service. We didn’t feel pushed or uncomfortable or lied too which we have felt at a few other dealerships before this. I will definitely recommend this dealership to everyone I know and I highly recommend Miguel. Kia of East Hartford will absolutely become our new go to dealer.

I have the fully loaded SXL turbo and it has everything you could want in a car. Best bang for your buck hands down. And it gets up in speed and pushed you back in your seat if you have this model. In love

I went to KIA of East Hartford and met with Howie to go over buying used vs New also buying vs leasing. This was an emotional experience as I had driven my last car for 13 years so this was all new and scary to me. Howie was great with his knowledgeable information as well as his personal experiences. My first visit I left there excited about knowing I had an option when I was ready. That weekend Howie reached out to me with an offer I couldn't refuse and I was ready to become a new car owner with a 2017 KIA Forte 3 year lease. I picked up my new car the next day and literally just signed and drove away. Super quick and easy. I'm happy with my decision and comfortable with the monthly payments, best of all I'm driving a safe, reliable NEW car which is truly exciting. What an awesome experience at KIA of East Hartford!!!

This is the best car I have ever owned I love it the ride is so smooth and it's amazing on gas can't wait to see how it is treating me in 5 years or more

I bought an 04 Honda CRV EX in 2014 from Ful line Auto. When I arrived to look at the car I was given the key and told to take it out for a ride. Dave let me look over the car without him being over my shoulder (like most dealers!) and I was sold immediately on how well these guys prep there cars for sale before I even drove the car. Clean,clean, clean! Also the car had new tires, brake pads, rotors, and did I mention clean? I took the car for a drive and it drove as good as it looked. When I returned I told them I wanted the car and Dave asked me if I wanted to take it to my mechanic to have it checked out before I buy. I told him thanks but I don't feel I have to. Any dealer willing to do that is confident in the vehicles they are selling. So now the update... I bought it with 137k on it and it now has 174k. The car has been great and I have had ZERO issues with it. I originally bought the car just to use as a winter driver but I've been using it as a daily driver to work during the summer too and keeping the miles down on my Mustang. If you see a car you like at this dealer ship....go see them, you will not be disappointed. Great people, outstanding cars , a super easy and pleasant buying experience.

Lexus options at a Kia price and 36MPG!! 73,000 Miles since new and not one repair. Incredible value for the money! I have owned Three Kia's and loved them all.

I went in this past weekend just to discuss my options because my lease was coming due . I had an appointment with Frank Fazio. This turned out to be the best experience I ever had at Schaller !! I ended up leasing another car. Frank took his time to make sure I was completely happy with my new lease , he didn't push me into something I didn't want . He was very knowledgeable , went through everything in the car so I could really enjoy this beautiful car!! I do have to mention that everyone working that day was very pleasant and upbeat . Very different than past experiences I have had . I left really happy and excited with my decision!

Met my needs as anticipated at time of purchase , I wanted good gasoline mileage and a CPO warranty. The bickering I purchased met all of my requirements.

Ashley n stan. Exellent service car rite is the best car dealer I've been to.Very helpful they explained everything i asked.I love the car they put new tires roters n breaks tune up.clean place no gimicks excellent price n warranty .love my car will buy there again will recommend to everyone i know.no pressure to buy they let you take your time .they don't sell you a car they let you buy the car.excellent very happy.

This vehicle is better than what I expected, I would definitely recommend this vehicle to a friend. It’s very roomy and comfortable to drive in.

This was our second Kia purchased at Crowley. Based on the positive buying experience on our previous Kia Forte, combined with the absolutely top-notch service department, when we decided to trade up to a new Kia Optima, going here was a no brainer. Once again, it was a very positive car buying experience. Mike Martella our salesman listened to what we were looking for, made a well thought out recommendation and got us the Optima that we wanted with the best mix of features that we were asking for. Mike did a great job explaining all the features and settings for our car...even after he knew we decided to buy it. Financing was good as well...there was an initial issue with this, and the finance person fixed it quickly and we got it for the terms that we were looking for (Mike stayed involved throughout the process). At no time were we kept waiting more than a couple of minutes, and as soon as the paperwork was complete they had our Optima clean/detailed, gassed up, and we were ready to go. One of the key reasons that we came back to Crowley Kia was that for the past 4+ years that we owned our Forte, Crowley Kia's service department has been a delight to deal with. Always polite, always fully explaining any work that needed to be done, and all work done right and on time.

I live in Ohio so being good in the snow is a MUST!! This car is NOT Pretty good get up and go and average styling.

This was, by far, the smoothest new car purchase we've ever had. The salesman (John Bruso) did not high pressure us at all. We knew what we wanted and he found the exact model at a nearby dealer. Our new car (the first time we ever leased one) arrived the next day. After they applied the new Simoniz Glass Coat it looked awesome. He gave us a brief overview of all the "bells-and-whistles" on the Kia Soul. We would highly recommend this salesman to anyone wanting to buy a new car. Thanks John. Tad and Cyndi Blanchard Proud Owners of a New Kia Soul

Very clean and fast, I can’t wait to do a long family trip in it. My oldest fell asleep after school after about 5 minutes

I was purchasing a used 2016 Kia Sorento from a nearby Dodge dealer. Not being from the area, I brought the Sorento to Gary Rome Kia for a mechanical inspection. To my surprise the vehicle had been purchased new at Gary Rome and faithfully serviced there. The front desk clerk shared this with me saying the prior owner faithfully serviced the car at Gary Rome. After the mechanical inspection the clerk shared the findings with me. When I asked how much I owed for the service the clerk said it was a complimentary inspection and there was no charge. When I brought the vehicle back to the Dodge dealer and told them how nice Gary Rome Kia had been to me, my salesman said my experience speaks volumes about Gary Rome. How true. Thanks again to the great people at Gary Rome Kia, they made my day.

Purchased new after a disastrous 6 months with a new Civic. This car never let me down, never had a squeak or rattle, and never a trip to the dealer for anything but maintenance. I'd still own it today if it hadn't been rear-ended, twice, in the year that I owned it. It was successfully repaired both times but I just didn't feel comfortable driving it any longer. Paid off and traded.

Overall my experience was excellent. I knew what car I wanted to test drive and I called ahead to make sure it was still available. I was connected with Chin and he told me he wanted to go put his hand on the car to be certain it was there before I made the trip there. He called me back after about 30 minutes and said the car was not there at the moment but it would be available to test drive the following day. So we made an appointment and I test drove the car the following day. Chin did a wonderful job of presenting the vehicle and was very knowledgeable about the car. He was not pushy and seemed genuinely happy to be showing it to me and was very friendly. The test drive went well he and gave me ample opportunity to test out all the cars functions and all the bells and whistles on this particular model. I told him I wanted the car upon return to the lot and we began paperwork. My one and only issue is that the dealership has a "no hassle no haggle" price policy which I am not a huge fan of. I do realize; however, that this is a trend in car dealerships so it was unlikely to be a deal breaker especially since the vehicle was priced fairly based on the research I had already done. Chin was very good about communicating with me as the process for financing went on and was very good about telling me the obligations I would have to fulfill on my part with insurance and trade-ins. I test drove the car on a Tuesday @ 5:00pm and I was picking it up less than 48 hours later. They made a wonderful presentation of the vehicle and it was in excellent condition. All in all it was a very painless and pleasant experience and I would absolutely recommend Executive Kia and Chin Chang.

Love the look and the color of Optimas Blue, which we call it. Interior has a lot of room for the family and it rides fantastic!

Megan is awsome, very friendly and personable. I would recommend this dealer to family and friends, and would tell them to talk with Megan about their options.

I am impressed with the Optima, as I was interested in a Cadenza coming in. This size turns out to fit me well. I highly recommend this car.

I "cold called" Gates, talked to someone named "Tara" and asked her a general question about the Nissan incentives. We were planning to go the VERY NEXT morning to Crowley Nissan in Bristol, CT and buy a 2018 Nissan Frontier truck. After she answered my general question, she asked some about the exact model, features, color, price, etc. we were looking for. Soon I was explaining all of that, and - - surprise - - she said they have the exact truck we wanted on their lot! It also had a value-added package with a few more features than we had planned on, including sonar and heated seats, which we had wished for. She asked how much we were planning to spend, said she would check with her manager, called me right back, and matched the price we were going to pay! Bottom line is that we didn't have to drive the 50 minutes along a challenging route to Bristol, CT, and got more in the package for the truck we wanted, at the price we wanted, at our local dealer! She suggested we prearrange the financing (which was for 36 months and 0% interest offered by Nissan this month), and I filled out the online finance form. We went there the next morning. She greeted us, had the truck parked in front, went over the features, went inside, and we agreed to the deal! Badda-boom, badda-bang! (We also appreciated the small gesture of her getting a cup of coffee and a bottle of water for us.) She then walked us through the various dealership areas that we would be using in the future, introduced us to the Service Manager and then the Finance Director, who went over the contract, which we signed. At every step Tara was on the ball. We appreciated her helpfulness, efficiency, knowledge, and friendliness. She even went the extra step of setting up my husband's I-phone to connect with the truck and showed us the radio, tape, etc. features. The truck was detailed, washed, and looked terrific when we drove it home. We're happy to have found a hassle-free deal with pleasant and helpful people, Nissan incentives, and a few free oil changes and tire rotations thrown in - - all at our local dealer within an easy 15 minute drive!

I am a big and tall guy 6'5 and I had plenty of leg room in the 2019 Kia optima. I am a tech guy so I love all the tech features in the New kia optima and the panoramic roof is nice! The engine has get up and go and it's a 4 cylinder! Roomy trunk, just a great car

I bought a van about 5yrs. ago, after being referred to J&M by my neighbor Mike Stoffan. I recently donated it to Disabled American Veterans. After visiting nearly 6 dealerships, I returned to J&M to buy a pick up truck. After I decided on which one I wanted, I met with salesperson Steve Magura right from the start Steve was both professional and a gentleman. After a test drive and checking the truck over, I told him about some concerns I had and he assured me that those would be taken care of. I had a loan pre-approval from my credit union and there was no trade-in. We agreed on a price, I reviewed the purchase order and made a request., Steve spoke to his manager Mr. Brown and he approved it. When I brought the check in I did a pre-delivery inspection, the mechanics did the repairs (as promised), the fluids were changed and the truck was cleaned. I met with Dannielle to complete and sign paperwork and waited nearly 25 mins.for her to process and copy documentation. She apologized for the long wait and said the reason for the delay was because they found a math error and issued me a refund. I could not believe it. I had looked at the purchase order 3 times and everything appeared OK. The point is they could have said nothing but, they did and that speaks volumes about their honesty and integrity. Whenever I called with a question someone got me a answer. Steve called me with updates and kept me informed about what was being done to the truck and when it would be ready. For ALL the above reasons I decided to write this review. If you come to J&M prepared and keep expectations realistic, I'm sure you'll do as well as I did and leave just as satisfied. Thank-you very much to Steve, Mr.Brown, Dannielle, the gentleman who drove to other lot to measure the bed of the truck, the office staff (always willing to get me answers) the mechanics and prep people. Because of all of you, I've FINALLY got the truck I wanted. I am one happy guy. I'll always refer family and friends to J&M. Again,thank-You! I give J&M 10 stars.

Great car to own. Very spacious for the family. Drives great. Love the sport feature and touch radio screen. I recommend this car 100%. Thank you.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

The OPTIMA 2015 was a good car to own for me. The look and color was right, driving the car felt sexy with speed, I saved a lot of money on gas. BUT, the passenger seat was too low. NEEDED the SEAT Lumbar support and Seat Cushion Height. OVERALL NICE CAR TO HAVE. PS The maintenance plan was Affordable

This is a review of my SELLING experience to Carvana. I listed my car on Craigslist and was approached by an outsider buyer named Jan. She introduced me to Carvana, which I never heard of before, and it's process. She was very helpful and walked me through the process. The first deciding factor for selling to them was that they offered me the best price (vs. CarMax, Auto Nation, Trur Car). Then I realized the process was super streamlined. All I had to do was upload my documents and, after approval, schedule an appointment for the pickup of my car. Carvana sent a truck to COME TO ME to pick up the car. The driver (Lauren?) was very courteous and pleasant to work with, too. The pickup process, which included a one-mile test drive, took no longer than 20-30 minutes. Immediately after loading my car to their truck, I was handed the check, which I immediately deposited without any issues. My selling experience from being contacted by buyer to getting the check took just 10 days! (Would've been even faster if I was more timely with uploading my docs.) I'd highly recommend Carvana for selling your cars!

i think the vehicle is fabulous and i love driving it now that i have extended blocks for the brake and gas petals. i am embarrassed that my new car has such faulty carpeting.
