Kia Country of Charleston

I have been in the car business for a little over 4 years all of which was with Ford. I recently started with Kia and look forward to helping our customers find the right vehicle to meet their needs. While not at work, I enjoy spending time with my fiance, hunting, fishing, and watching sports like the NFL, NCAA Football, and Major League Baseball.

My Review Of Kia Country of Charleston:

Everyone that I spoke with either on the phone or in person was very polite and friendly. The sales people made me feel relaxed, and that my car needs were the most important thing happening in the building at that time.

My Review Of Kia Country of Charleston:

I worked with Robert thru the internet. He sent me a price quote and answered questions, but I wasn't ready to buy just yet. He sent emails to stay in touch with me, but was never pushy. When I was ready to test drive, Robert wasn't there, so Courtney took over and introduced me to Sam. I was thrilled. Sam told me all about the Sorento, explained how everything worked then let me drive the car. He answered every question I had and let me take my time. They gave me the price Robert had quoted in my first email! I have recommended them and will continue to do so. They are a great team. Even when I had to turn around to ask another question, Sam was right there waiting for me. I have been back since I purchased my car and everyone, all the sales people, recognized me and called me by name. I felt like I had come home. You just don't get customer service like that now. Thank you Sam, Robert and Courtney!

My Review Of Kia Country of Charleston:

Robert Short was very persistant in geting me to come into the dealership after a casual inquiry online. I came becuase Robert never gave up on getting me to come in and also the recommendation of my daughter and my best friend who both drive Kias. Courtney was extremely friendly and professional in her dealings with me when I got to the facility and turned me over to Elijah Tucker to help me find the vehicle that suited my needs and budget. Elijah was such a nice, friendly, professional salesman. He immediately put me at ease. He listened to what I was looking for and what my budget was and helped me locate the perfect vehicle. Elijah was not the "typical car salesman". I would highly recommend him and everyone at Kia Country of Charleston for their vehicle needs. They truly are a great team and make the car buying process both easy and enjoyable.

My Review Of Kia Country of Charleston:

I walked into Kia Country expecting to be treated like I was at all the other dealerships, with poor credit and very little to put down it was all the same "Sorry but we can not do anything for you" story, but to my surprise I was immediately greeted by Robert who took the reigns and lead me to Elijah. Elijah was extremely helpful with finding a car that fit my budget and that I actually liked! After a few days of tossing numbers around with Elijah and Brian, after all their hard work, they got me into a car that to this day (a week later)still has me grinning ear to ear. I highly recommend these guys to anyone shopping for a car new or used, they will put in a ton of effort to try and save you as much money as possible, good or bad credit.
I am beyond please with my 09 Mazda3!

My Review Of Kia Country of Charleston:

Nicest, most comfortable and buyer friendly place I have ever shopped and bought a vehicle. Upfront and kept their word. Said they would beat anyone, and they did. No one acted like a salesman or hustler. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will surely go back when it is time to shop for a vehicle. They wanted to sell a car and proved it by calling back and keeping us informed. Everything was explained in great detail and all questions were answered.
