I took our 2007 Kia Rondo in for maintenance at Huffines Kia, knowing it had over $1K of work to be done on it and was informed that one repair was going to cost far more than we originally thought. That w Kia, knowing it had over $1K of work to be done on it and was informed that one repair was going to cost far more than we originally thought. That was pretty much the end. We were in a situation in which we had a car that we still owed payments on that was going to require a huge amount of work that we couldn't afford all at once. I don't know, maybe I was WISHING that someone would ask me if I just wanted to trade it in before I even got there. Every time a salesman walked by with a smile and a polite good morning, it was nice. One, Phil Chaney, stopped and said good morning, then added jokingly that if anyone had more car repairs than they could afford, he'd be glad to sell them a car. I mentioned: I told everyone someone would try to sell me a car within five minutes of sitting down. I already knew what I wanted. Since they came out, the Kia Soul has been my favorite vehicle to go to from the Rondo. We went and looked at one, chatted for a bit, then I went back and sat down to await news on the repairs. Now, a moment to state that I really do trust Huffines Kia. Their prices are good for maintenance and we literally fled from a horrible experience at Central Kia to trying them out and noting their excellent BBB rating to them and they happily fixed our problems, even though we had not bought our Kia through them. Repairs after repairs would be needed to get the Rondo up to working order. I mentioned that I think I'm going to go look at a new car and the employee talking to me encouragingly said I'd get good years out of my current car after the repairs were done. (But in the meantime, I would be driving a vehicle with a broken window, a timing belt that had just passed replacement date and brakes that needed pads replaced on.) I opted for less stressful of options and was treated to a visit with Phil again to see if he could sell me a car and get our old car traded in. This was the best sales experience I've ever had. It was more like a long casual conversation than the normal fast talking men I had dealt with before. I did not feel the need to haggle over price. I know their prices are good and I'm happy with what we ended up with. Phil was quick to respond to any problems afterward and explain further questions I had. I highly recommend going to Huffines Kia over any of the others and you should look for Phil. He did really take care of us down to getting a cute little stuffed hamster for our daughter. :) Thank you, Huffines Kia, for a good experience that I can feel comfortable with. More

I got a call from a dealer (other than Kia first, but the person on the other line was not really cooperative) then I got a call from Matt Green and that's when the search stopped. Kia of Denton is an outstanding dealership. Matt Green our sales rep, was simply great. Both Matt and Phillip Vivar, the sales manager, were extremely polite, friendly, professionals and helpful. They both helped us secure the Kia Soul we wanted. Their customer services exceeds my expectations (including picking up calls after working hours just to answer some questions I had) in other words i highly recommend Kia Denton if you are looking for a car. I couldn't be happier with the service they provide and the new Kia Soul we got. More

I have had my Subaru Outback serviced at Huffines for six years and the service has always been excellent. Charlie always explains the service details and the work is done well, and in the time promised. W years and the service has always been excellent. Charlie always explains the service details and the work is done well, and in the time promised. When it was time for a new Subaru I was also impressed with Huffines in Denton! Jerry Paredes took lots of time with me on several visits, showing me used and then new Subaru Foresters, and going on test drives. He printed out the info of different models to patiently explain the different options. He has a nice sense of humor and a no pressure sales approach. When it was time for the paperwork, Jerry and Phillip Vivar clearly explained each part of the contract. I strongly recommend Huffines Subaru in Denton! More

I came to Huffines Kia initially because they had a 2012 Kia Sedona online that I was interested in. After visiting two other Kia dealerships and being treated as less than worthy, I was basically visiting Kia Sedona online that I was interested in. After visiting two other Kia dealerships and being treated as less than worthy, I was basically visiting as a last ditch effort to get the van I wanted. When I called into the dealership to confirm that the vehicle I was interested in was, in fact, ON the lot (as it hadn't been when I visited other dealerships), I was greeted by Joe. He was kind and informative and eager to help. I did then come into the dealership to view the vehicle and Joe was very helpful. The staff worked on a deal for me and the financing took a while so I went home and told Joe I'd have to come back later as I had my two young children with me. Unfortunately, Joe became suddenly ill, unbeknownst to me, and I didn't hear back from him for a week. I was beginning to think I'd been put off just like at the other Kia dealerships, so I called just to find out what had happened with the financing, out of curiousity. I was met with apologies and a renewed effort to help me, which had not happened previously. The finance manager and sales managers took me under their wings and made sure my needs were met. Within 24 hours, they had worked out financing, found me another vehicle that fit my needs even more perfectly, and made me feel like a valued customer. I even called in two days after purchase to inquire about a missing accessory and a paint ding I had not previously seen and was told they would order me a new accessory, no charge, and to bring the van in on Thursday to be touched up, also no charge. What service! I would recommend this dealership to anyone. The associates remember you (even if they didn't personally help you), they are courteous and are HONEST! They will show you everything in writing, which was worth its weight in gold to me. More
