Let me start of by saying I hate the car buying experience. I hate going to a dealership, hate the typical salespeople circling like vultures circling an animal near death, hate what feels like a l experience. I hate going to a dealership, hate the typical salespeople circling like vultures circling an animal near death, hate what feels like a lack of transparency, hate them squeezing you for every penny they can get. Hate hate hate all of it. This is the first vehicle buying experience that I not only didn't hate, but actually enjoyed. I parked, for our of my vehicle and made it into the building workout a single person latching into me like a leech on a re-attached limb. We already knew the specific vehicle we wanted, and here's how it went. Dru found the vehicle, got the keys, and let us look it over, inside and out. We took it for a drive with him in the back and for the entirety of the drive, not once did he push anything on us, talk about price, numbers, or anything about the sale. We talked like people talking and getting to know each other. When we got back, we talked numbers, told him what we were looking to get to, then started the paperwork. He showed us different term options with different down payments that weren't wow low enough, so we asked to find out what down payment weed need to get us to our target payment. That was quickly resolved, then the usual wait for the loan application approval started. Once that finished, we talked to another equally pleasant finance person. The signing was clear, straight forward, nothing snuck in, nothing pushed on us, just the vehicle we wanted, the down payment we offered, and the digital paperwork to be signed. We signed, for the temp registration and left. All the usual nuts and bolts of buying a vehicle with NONE of the usual experience I've come to absolutely despise. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy buying a vehicle from DS Kia, I will continue bringing business to them anytime I need a vehicle. Dru and Lynn are a real credit to their profession and I hope other dealerships take a page or two from their book. It wasn't sales, it was outstanding customer service by understanding what we needed and helping us find what met those needs. Bravo and well done, you have a customer for life. More

A couple days ago, I went into the dealership to trade in my Durango for a smaller SUV. Ended up purchasing a Kia Sportage EX. Josh Carter was our associate who helped us out. Usually I’m pretty uncomfortabl my Durango for a smaller SUV. Ended up purchasing a Kia Sportage EX. Josh Carter was our associate who helped us out. Usually I’m pretty uncomfortable with the whole car buying process, but Josh’s personality and sense of humor really makes you feel at home and at ease. You know you’re being taken care of. I appreciate all the help he provided and can’t recommend him enough if you’re in need of another vehicle! He’s so awesome you’ll leave that dealership with a new car and a new friendship! This my friends is how dealerships should always be! Thanks so much for everything Doug Smith Kia! You have a keeper in Josh! More

He was a pleasu We were looking to trade in my wife's truck and walked in the door and were greeted by Dru McDaniel who sold us our 2020 Kia Sorento. He was a pleasure to work with and did everything in his power to get us the best discounts/deals with the car. He was not pushy or salesy at ALL and made the experience super easy. This is the 2nd car I've purchased from Doug Smith (2017 Kia Niro) and when the time comes for another car, they are who we'll be coming to! More

We recently purchased our 3rd car from Lynn Wightman and he's been great to work with. He's bent over backwards to make sure we get exactly what we want at a great price. We had a great experience with the finance manager, Darren as well. He made sure we got the payments we needed with the downpayment we could afford. As I mentioned, this is our third car from the Doug Smith group, they have a great selection and will work to find just the right vehicle to meet our family's needs. We'll be back when it's time for Car #4. More
