Went in for a new Kia, and David Valentin did a fantastic job. I'm 74 years old, and I have never had a better and smoother transition into a new 2022 Sportage. We hit it off immediately, and he did the be job. I'm 74 years old, and I have never had a better and smoother transition into a new 2022 Sportage.

Had to dicker to get price down to something I could handle. Never understand why they don't just come up with their best price instead of wasting precious time. And still not sure if they would have handle. Never understand why they don't just come up with their best price instead of wasting precious time. And still not sure if they would have gone lower. Price decreased over $100 from my first price. Sales person was very nice except the couple of times when he talked to me like I was a 2 year old. Then picking up car i had appointment at 4:30. We did everything to get the new car ready and get my stuff out of old car. Then was told to wait to speak to Josh. Took 45 minutes when I was told I was next in line and he would be with me as soon as he was done. 45 minutes still has me upset. They have been doing this for a long time, you think they would figure out how not to have their customers who I suppose they want to come back wait that long for the paperwork to sign. More

When we first entered the building a gentleman immediately stood up and greeted us and asked us if we would like water or anything to drink. Immediately they made us feel welcome. We waited prob immediately stood up and greeted us and asked us if we would like water or anything to drink. Immediately they made us feel welcome. We waited probably 30 seconds before Nick came over and assisted us. He was straight to the point which we were thankful for and he was able to give us a wonderful trade in value and get me into a brand new Sorento. He was extremely down to earth and very enjoyable to work with. Hands down will be continuing to purchase vehicles from them. More

It had been several years since my last VERY unsatisfactory experience at Destination Kia in February several years ago - an oil change that leaked and a definitely inept tech who told me to cal unsatisfactory experience at Destination Kia in February several years ago - an oil change that leaked and a definitely inept tech who told me to calm down after my vacation was ruined because of that leaking oil change while my Kia was in the Albany Airport during my time away. I made several attempts to let the dealership know and especially when they queried how my experience had been but no one really cared because they never responded to my story. After that experience, I only returned for the necessary recalls when I received notices. However, I am glad I gave Destination another chance when I was forced to go to a Kia dealer for some hard-to-locate strutz for my 2011 Optima and was even provided a rental car for my appointments that day by Gerard Hamedy who was great and I felt it mattered how I felt about the service. The parts were hard to locate but he did so I am still so much in love with my like-new 2011 Kia Optima thanks to him (bought it new). However, the woman who answers and directs calls, Alisa or something like that, needs to be trained in people skills at the very least and is not a good representation of Destination Kia on the telephone and seems a dingbat. I say this from 2 experiences I had on the telephone with her and one being very important since it concerned my disabled brother who had also taken his car there for an expensive service and my inquiries to her about his arriving safely home afterwards compliments of Destination Kia and her failure to ease my concern for him. I listed price as only half the best stars because who wants to pay $1800 for strutz but I do understand in these Covid times and am so thankful thanks to Gerard I will most likely enjoy many more miles on my 2011 Optima.
