Employee(s) Dealt With: Fran, Anthony

My Review of Monroeville Kia Mazda:
After reading the good reviews, I decided to give this place a chance. Initially, I called and spoke with Fran. She was very friendly and encouraging. Although she did not appear to be as informed insofar as trims and options go, I had no problems overlooking this fact given her pleasantness. While they had one used vehicle that sort of met my criteria, she suggested I check out the dealership during the Inventory Reduction Sale because I may be able to get a good deal on a newer model. After considering it for a couple of days, I called back and left a message. She promptly returned my call and we set up an appointment with Tom Dean for the evening. After spending 3.5 hours on the road for my daily work commute, I assumed another hour would be worthwhile if only for the sake of introductions and gathering more information. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

When I arrived at the dealership, I was greeted by Anthony. After asking for Tom, as I was instructed, I was politely informed that he was gone for the evening. Strike one. I then started to realize that my hopes of this "deal" were likely dashed and that they do not advertise prices so that they can pull customers in for appointments to move cars. I miss being treated like a person, but alas, we're walking dollar symbols for most these folks.

After sitting down and getting acquainted (albeit briefly), I was asked two questions that I never want a salesman to ask me. (1) How much do you want your monthly payments to be? What am I supposed to say? My limit so that you can maximize your profit on this sale? This is silly. (2) How much do you think your car is worth? Again, another loaded question. What happened to talking about the price of the car that we're considering and negotiating that? I did't hear one word about that until I directly asked near the end of my visit. Regardless, I played along only to be invited as a contestant on Deal or No Deal, Dealership Edition. That's right. In spite of the fact that it was NOT a busy evening and that I WAS supposed to meet a sales manager (Tom Dean), the manager who actually was present never took the time to introduce himself. Anthony would walk away to some other room to speak with him (a practice that, in itself is annoying; if we're playing Deal or No Deal, at least stay with me and contact your manager via phone) and come back with absurd offers and questionable rationale. Clearly, either sales were down for the day and I was thought gullible or Anthony and/or the manager simply didn't like me. With no introductions and a friendliness that can only be described as rigid at best, I considered this strike two. Maybe things could change when we go out to the lot, but alas...

As we walk aside, Anthony tries to offer me a 6 year old vehicle for which I had zero desire. When we finally do get around to the vehicle of my sole interest, we chatted briefly. I wanted to see what kind of price I was looking at and so Anthony had to consult the manager once more (there was no advertised price on the car or the web). When he returned, he already knew I was walking away, which makes me believe he has no freedom and is slavishly working for an asinine manager. I persisted with my desire to know and found the asking price to be so out of touch that it was insulting. A quick glance at a Kelley Blue Book in conjunction with other Autotrader ads reveal that, for the trim, year, and mileage, it was AT LEAST $2,000 overpriced. I had no intention of purchasing it unless the deal was irresistible, but they didn't even try. Instead, they tried to see if they could insult my intelligence. Strike three.

The moral of the story is that if you're an informed, intelligent, and patient buyer, stay far, far away. In fact, given the number of good reviews, I am 100% certain that they either ask every sale to do a review (which, if you purchased a vehicle, of course the review will be decent / good barring exceptional cases) or there is a gaping discrepancy in the quality of customer service between the managers. It's a shame really. I wanted to like the place, but it is what it is. When my wife seeks out a car within a few months, even though she wants a Mazda, I can promise you that she won't be going here.

Employee(s) Dealt With: MICKEY

My Review of Monroeville Kia Mazda:
EXCELLENT SUPER QUICK TRANSACTION. WE WERE TRYING TO GET A VEHICLE TO REBUILD OUR CREDIT FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. ALL OF THE OTHER DEALERSHIPS WERE BASICALLY GOUGING US AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT WE WERE DESPERATE AND IN A BAD SITUATION. WE ACTUALLY FELT LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE THAT WERE RESPECTED AND VALUED AS CUSTOMERS; FROM THE SUPER QUICK, ALMOST IMMEDIATE RETURN PHONE CALL FROM MICKEY TO THE DELIVERY OF A NEW VEHICLE ONLY HOURS LATER. OTHER DEALERSHIPS TRIED TO PUSH US INTO USED VEHICLES FOR ALMOST THE SAME PRICE AS WE WERE ABLE TO GET A NEW 2012 KIA SEDONA WITH MONROEVILLE KIA MAZDA AND THE EXCELLENT STAFF THAT WERE THERE TO HELP. (ESPECIALLY MICKEY) THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!! WE WILL BE RECOMMENDING YOUR BUSINESS TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK FOR OUR NEXT VEHICLE!

Employee(s) Dealt With: Valerie Cook

My Review of Monroeville Kia Mazda:
Valerie Cook was excellent! She was extremely approachable and very easy to talk to. At no point in the transaction process did I feel she was "getting over on me." I will be highly recommending her to friends, family, and anyone else interested in buying a new car. Simply put, she is the best salesperson I have been in contact with. She should be commended for her work.

My Review of Monroeville Kia Mazda:
When I entered the dealership I was just looking what was available in the Kia make. The salsman came up and was very friendly and ask if he could help me. I ask a few questions and he had the answers without hesitating. Not "pushy" at all. That would have sent me back out the door. We talked and he ask what I was looking for and he showed me what ke had. From that point I made up my own mind and bought a new car. I would recommend the salesman and the dealership.

Employee(s) Dealt With: Stanley Theodorson

My Review of Monroeville Kia Mazda:
I was so set on getting a honda accord when I stopped in to look at the Kia Optima. Stanley was very helpful with my decision and the whole time never bad mouthed the competition. He helped to accommodate my husband and I with our 10 month old son, being so quick about everything. He made sure everyone was quick about there part of the purchase. I never thought i would own anything than a honda, but Stanley made me feel good about my purchase. I was very pleased with Stanley, the kia we have yet to see!
