Recently bought a vehicle from SMH.
Recently bought a vehicle from SMH. The experience was excellent. Salesman allowed us to look, was helpful when we needed it. Everything was straight forward, and a breeze. After purchasing the car a heater hose broke, we had no problems getting it fixed. Their warranty covered it and everyone has been extremely nice and helpful. By far this was the best car buying experience I've ever had. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase.
I've had my 2021 kia rio hatchback since October '21.
I've had my 2021 kia rio hatchback since October '21. It is a solid reliable subcompact. It performs fine, and has enough power for its size. Wireless connectivity is a plus. Nice sound system. My only disappointment is no telescoping steering wheel (I'm tall) but you adjust, Very happy with this car!

Hi Amir Khan, From our initial interaction to the moment
Hi Amir Khan, From our initial interaction to the moment I drove off the lot, your professionalism and dedication were evident. You made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Your knowledge about the vehicle, including its features and history, was impressive, and your transparency in answering all my questions instilled confidence in my decision to purchase. Moreover, your approach to negotiation was fair and respectful. You listened to my concerns and preferences, and we were able to reach a mutually beneficial agreement without any pressure. I truly appreciate your patience and willingness to accommodate my needs throughout the negotiation process. Additionally, I would like to thank you for your post-sale assistance. You took the time to explain the warranty coverage and provided valuable insights into ongoing maintenance recommendations, which have been incredibly helpful. The only negative is your pricing online needs to be more clear about the advertised discounts. Dr. Irshad
I like this car!
2021 Rio Hatchback- I am quite happy with this car. Handles fine, great fuel milage, plenty of power for it's size (and I love its size) Wish it had a telescopic steering wheel, but you adjust. Apple CarPlay and 8" touchscreen is great.
