I had an exceptional experience buying a new Kia Optima. The place was clean and organized. I was greeted immediately on arrival. The sales consultant was SUPER friendly. I did not feel hustled or insulted The place was clean and organized. I was greeted immediately on arrival. The sales consultant was SUPER friendly. I did not feel hustled or insulted at all. The sales manager and finance manager bent over backward to accommodate my unique financial situation. The teamwork between these guys is inspiring. I have never before felt so appreciated as a customer. I had to pass several other Kia dealerships on the way to Bellingham and will gladly do so again for any service or future purchase. Thank you for the home-run guys. More

I was impressed by the friendly, knowledgeable service. The review by Consumers Guide and the information given by Tim, the salesman, convinced me that the Sportage was the car for me. The offer of free ca The review by Consumers Guide and the information given by Tim, the salesman, convinced me that the Sportage was the car for me. The offer of free car washes was a very pleasant bonus, in addition to the unexpected extras as standard equipment. I am very pleased with my purchase, especially since the 4 wheel drive got a very good work-out during our snow and ice storm the week after I took possession. More

I presently own a 2005 Kia Sportage that I bought from Smith Kia a few years back. I wanted to purchase a new 2011 Sportage. I have gone in twice to fill out paperwork, get quotes and allow them to run a Smith Kia a few years back. I wanted to purchase a new 2011 Sportage. I have gone in twice to fill out paperwork, get quotes and allow them to run a credit check on me (it's well over 800). I couldn't get the time of day....and I was there having my Kia worked on. I waited 10 days from my first visit before returning. My second visit was worse than the first. I couldn't get anyone to wait on me. When I finally got someone, all he wanted to do was talk about his upcoming trip to Hawaii. Another "helpful" salesman explained to me that I might not like the 2011 Sportage because "...it was nothing like my 2005." More

My wife and I went in the dealership looking for a car or possibly SUV. We haD received a coupon in the mail with discounted prices and 5 (five) entries to a lottery to win different prizes or even a new car possibly SUV. We haD received a coupon in the mail with discounted prices and 5 (five) entries to a lottery to win different prizes or even a new car. My wife haD called the dealership and was met with a very professional/friendly facade. It all sounded good, so when we went in, the sales men were all chatting in the corner of the showroom, didn't even bother to ask if we needed any help. Finally, a salesman, Jim, came to us and said that in order for us to even look at a car he had to get our info. My wife gave her information, SSN, and the whole nine yards, so Jim left the desk. I stopped him and said, "Are you going to run her credit?" He said he wouldn't. We told him we would like to find something we like, and decide which one of us would take the financing, before he places a hard inquiry on my wife's credit. He hadn't even taken my information! He came back, told us he can't help us and turned his back on us, and walked away. I turned him around and asked him if he had run her credit, and he said "No". (Sneak Peek in the future: a few weeks later the the hard inquiry showed up on her credit report!) He never asked about my credit, which is impeccable. They could have sold us a car but in stead he chose to practice the bad business obviously they are taught by their mangers. So, we took our business elsewhere. I would not recommend anyone to buy here. It's not even a good atmosphere, and most of all, they are UNTRUTHFUL. VERY BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE! More
