My wife and I went shopping for a new car since we are having an addition to our family. When we showed up to Salazar Kia we were greeted by not 1 but 2 very friendly sales people butthis wasn't the norma having an addition to our family. When we showed up to Salazar Kia we were greeted by not 1 but 2 very friendly sales people butthis wasn't the normal car shopping experience that most dread. Once we were greeted the sales people actually let us roam the lot without hassle and hovering. This was a pleasant surprise!! As we roamed the lot one of the sales people came out to us and handed us a couple of waters, introduced himself (Mike Bergesson), and allowed us to continue searching the lot once again. Once we figured out what questions we had we headed back to the sales floor where all of our questions were quickly answered without the pushy sales techniques that you encounter at many other dealerships. We decided to take a test drive and again no pushy sales techniques during the ride. Mike was so helpful and HONEST that we ultimately decided to run some numbers. There was no hassle or haggle by Mike and he introduced us to the finance manager on staff who gave us the rundown. He too was friendly, straight forward, and we quickly worked out a deal that we were happy with and comfortable. We have to say that this was the best car buying experience we have ever had!! The service was fast, friendly, honest, and most of all hassle free! We would recommend giving the Salazar Kia team a try before you head out on any car buying journey More
Highly RECOMMEND Salazar Kia! I have been active duty Navy for 28 years and have purchased several vehicles. This is the first dealership that we were given the opportunity to meet the owner Mr. Hector S Navy for 28 years and have purchased several vehicles. This is the first dealership that we were given the opportunity to meet the owner Mr. Hector Salazar. Mr. Salazar, Bob Acord and Mike Bergesson are a CLASS ACT and a one of a kind Dealership! As we say in the military...BRAVO ZULU...for a job WELL DONE. More
I had been looking for a preowned late model SUV, but wasn't sure if I could afford it. I found one I liked on Salazar's website. I did not want to be hounded by a salesman, as I didn't know if I could wasn't sure if I could afford it. I found one I liked on Salazar's website. I did not want to be hounded by a salesman, as I didn't know if I could afford the payments or not, so I sent an email inquiring about the SUV I was interested in. I also emailed details about my trade (including my VIN), my credit, and asked him to guesstimate a monthly payment. Mike Bergesson responded to my email promptly with the information I requested. The payment sounded great and definitely within my budget, so my husband and I went down to see the SUV the next day. Had Mike requested my phone number, or hounded me continuously, that may have turned me off. But he didn't, it was an easy laid-back experience. He replied in the manner I preferred (email), and I definitely didn't feel pressured or hounded. That is what brought my sale to Salazar Kia. The free lunch and money machine were a great experience too, and one that we weren't necessarily looking for, but enjoyed nonetheless. Robert Traslavina the Finance Manager was friendly and made all the paperwork an enjoyable experience too. The general manager Tom Reilly was very accomodating and helped close the deal. We had a great experience at Salazar Kia, and we didn't even purchase a Kia! :) More

We've been looking for a car like this one for over a month, and have visited approximately 6 different dealerships. Saul at Salazar Kia was the first salesperson we've spoken to who A. Had what we neede month, and have visited approximately 6 different dealerships. Saul at Salazar Kia was the first salesperson we've spoken to who A. Had what we needed in stock, B. Wasted none of our time, and C. Was friendly as can be. The guy stayed some forty minutes after the dealership closed to help us! As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat Saul or Salazar in Phoenix.
