Auffenberg Kia

My husband and I have two friends who own Kia's. One has a Sportage and the other a Sorento, which is what we purchased. Both highly recommended that we purchase a Kia when they knew we we shopping for a n a Sportage and the other a Sorento, which is what we purchased. Both highly recommended that we purchase a Kia when they knew we we shopping for a new vehicle. My husband and I went to Auffenberg Kia because this is the closest dealership to where we live, but it is 70 miles away. We were a little apprehensive because we didn't know anyone who worked there or anyone who had purchased a vehicle from them. But this feeling soon faded as we became acquainted with our sales consultant, Kirk Pieper. We have complete trust in him and the sales manager, Mike Parsons. Since we bought a brand new 2011 Sorento we haven't dealt with the service department yet, but we expect that will be a good experience also. And we are very pleased with the Sorento! We're still learning how to operate all of it's many features-there are far more in it than our 2002 Buick, which we reluctantly traded in. But we know that Auffenberg Kia is only a phone call away and the employees there will help us if we have questions. More

In preparation for purchasing a vehicle, I must have spent 20 hours reading reviews, articles on sales strategies, and market pricing.

I had made my decision on which vehicle and was fully ready for a fight. Walking into auffenberg kia, I was greeted by Greg. We had previously worked with kirk, but he was off. We quickly located the vehicle we had already chosen and started discussing pricing. I had a guaranteed price certificate and eventually brought it out. I fully expected the "battle" to begin. However, Greg took the certificate to the manager and, despite a fair wait, returned with a dealer agreement for that price. They even located a rebate I had not found. Everything moved forward swiftly at that point and we drove away in our brand new Sorento shortly after, paying a price we were very satisfied with! More

I had been dealing with about 5 car dealerships, but this staff went above and way beyond what they would have had to do to get me financed. Shane called me two or three times a day with updates and questio staff went above and way beyond what they would have had to do to get me financed. Shane called me two or three times a day with updates and questions, and he and Shaun stayed after hours the Friday night previous to the closing to meet with my husband and me. They were going to need additional information from me, and still had to make sure everything was covered with the bank, so they set another time for the following day, Saturday, Nov 6. Shane even sent me text updates to my cell, as per my request, when I knew I would be too busy at work to talk on the phone. Shaun McCarty met with us and explained the delays, which simply had to do with a miscommunication between our insurance agent the dealership. Mike Parsons spoke with me to assure me that everything was going to be fine, when I was afraid the deal wouldn't go through for me. Shane Roemer was particularly accommodating to my family, and talked my children, one older, one 7 years old, and was the most amicable salesperson I have ever had experience with. He even said the day we closed, "I went home and had my fingers crossed for you, because I knew how badly you wanted this car." My whole experience boiled down to the fact that I actually got the New Kia I had been wanting since the first model year, and this customer service will keep us coming back when we're ready for a trade.
