Sam was great to work with. As the owner of a Driving School, we purchase a new car every year and appreciate convenient, honest service. This was our 2nd purchase from Kia Country and hopefully won't be our last.

My Review of Kia Country of Charleston:
Courtney was very pleasant & friendly to work with. After I sent an email at 10 PM on Sunday she responsed with an email on Monday morning followed by a phone call. At which time she had located the Sorento EX I was interested in. After a few questions for me she returned her phone call in a matter of minutes with a price quote. I had to drive about 150 miles to the dealership & she held the car for me. At which time she had Sam go over the car with me to explain all the functions. I was please to be able to drive my new Sorento EX home that night which saved me another 150 mile trip. Jeremy was also very friendly to work with. My overall expereince was excellent.

My Review of Kia Country of Charleston:
This is my second Kia... First was a 2008 Spectra.... today I bought a 2012 Forte hatchback. Had a great experience with the first and I'm sure the second will be the same. Both were sold to me by Sam Washington. He is very friendly, honest and also very informative about the vehicles features. Both sales were very pleasant experiences. I plan to recommend Kia Country to everyone I can... and tell them to see Mr. Sam Washington. Thank you.

My Review of Kia Country of Charleston:
I hate to walk into a car dealership. That was before Kia Country. I was so impressed with how Sam, Brian, and Brad were all super.Sam Washington was the one who really demonstrated the Sorento to us and went well above and beyond to insure our needs were all satisfied. I would highly recommend this dealership.

My Review of Kia Country of Charleston:
Sam is amazing! This was my very first time buying a car and Sam made the experience painless with his warm friendly personality and his relaxed manner. He made sure I got the car I really wanted at the best possible deal. Now I'm driving a car that I love and couldn't be happier.

My Review of Kia Country of Charleston:
During my recent search for a Kia Optima, I contacted Kia Country of Charleston using Truecar.com. Almost immediately, Courtney Lydecker sent me an email discussing price and inventory - very polite, friendly, and straight-forward. That evening I visited the dealership and Courtney transferred me to Sam Washington. I can't say enough good things about Sam - very unassuming and friendly; the kind of guy you feel like you've known for a while. While I HATE the car buying process, Sam made it one of my best experiences. The bottom line is that both sides of the deal (salesman/buyer) want to walk away satisfied and feel like they were not taken advantage of. I believe Sam and Kia Country epitomize this behavior. Without hesitation I would tell anyone to visit Kia Country of Charleston. Hopefully I will not be purchasing another vehicle any time soon, but when I do, if it's a Kia, I won't look anywhere else.

Sam was very friendly. He is very knowledgeable about the cars and the SUV's, the in's and the out's of any of the vehicles. He was quite patient with me because i really couldn't make my mind up as to what type vehicle i wanted. I test drove evertyhing i wanted to and finally. He worked the deal out with my payments and i am Very Happy with my choice. I would surely come back again.

My Review of Kia Country of Charleston:
I went to Kia Country to purchase a new car. The exact car that I wanted they did not have so they worked and called places to find me my car. However, they did have another car in stock that I was more than happy with. They worked with me to get a price I would be comfortable with and I have not regretted purchasing my new Kia from Kia Country. It has been 9 months and I would recommend this dealership without hesitation. They have a clean facility and a very nice, helpful sales staff.
