Manahawkin Kia

Easy to work with, no pressure I came to this dealership with a car in mind that I picked by shopping the website. I came with a check in hand, already financed through Lending Tree I came to this dealership with a car in mind that I picked by shopping the website. I came with a check in hand, already financed through Lending Tree. The car I was interested in was already sold. Jon showed me a newer model with very low mileage that was in excellent shape. Mike in finance felt he could get me a better deal through his financing and I gave him the ok to do so. He came back with a better rate that I had obtained on my own. I got a pre-owned certified 2013 Kia Forte, with 27k miles. With it I got bumper to bumper warranty and roadside assistance and free oil changes. Although I was excited to get a nicer car, I dreaded the search and usual sales tactics used when you go into a dealer. I was pleasantly surprised that the style here was not like that at all, it was a good experience and I highly recommend them. More

Awesome, easy deal. after going online to see what the local dealers had used on their lots, I noticed that our local Kia dealer had a 2009 Audi A4 turbo in my price rang after going online to see what the local dealers had used on their lots, I noticed that our local Kia dealer had a 2009 Audi A4 turbo in my price range. Not having the best of credit but having a 2007 VW Passat 2.0 turbo to turn in against it I thought I might have a chance. I walked in and spoke to Jon Brooks, a younger guy with a really bad Christmas sweater on..lol they all did...Jon let me take the Audi for a test drive and I was sold on it. Now it was the finance area guys in their ugly sweaters to make things roll. After quite a few phone calls, they figured things out for me in a range I wanted, all I had to do was come back the next day with paperwork, as always and a good look over now that it stopped raining. I wanted it badly and they knew it.they got it hooked up for me, a few tweets in the garage and a little training in Audi style and I'm all set. Still needs some tweaking on some things but I'm really happy with everyone, especially Jon, at the Manahawkin Kia and would recommend it to anyone buying new or used...they will go the distance for you..

Poor repair service We had a problem with a repair that did not fix the problem we brought the car in for. They are suppose to pre and post test the car. If they had take We had a problem with a repair that did not fix the problem we brought the car in for. They are suppose to pre and post test the car. If they had taken the car for a drive after their repair, they would have realized the car was not different and still had major problems. We paid for work that possibly wasn't necessary. We made them look at the car again, and they then determined the problem was the tires all along. We were not happy, since we just paid over 600 dollars. Now they wanted more money for 4 new tires to resolve the problem. We spoke to the Service supervisor and he said he would look into the problem and get back to us. We waited 2 wks through the holidays to get a call. We called the office multiple times to find he wasn't available. Today we were told he'd call in 1/2 hr...well we are still waiting. This is not a great way to start the New Year. We have found the service to be extremely under par and unreliable when it come to repairs. They can't even be bothered to get back to their customers when they say they will... More

Al is the man! Al Angelo is very knowledgable in all things car related, not just Kia. He answered all of our questions, explained everything to us, and we told him Al Angelo is very knowledgable in all things car related, not just Kia. He answered all of our questions, explained everything to us, and we told him what we wanted and he made it happen. We had been putting off car shopping due to stress of dealing with sales associates at other dealerships in the past but thanks to Al we had an easy going and great time. Would recommend him to friends and family. Love my kia optima hybrid! More

Worth the Drive I have recently visited a number of dealerships in the Greater NYC area. Most I have encountered are practically adversarial in their approach with t I have recently visited a number of dealerships in the Greater NYC area. Most I have encountered are practically adversarial in their approach with the customer. (In many of these you never actually know the real price of the car until you see the purchase agreement and you may never know what some of the charges are for.) This was not my experience at Manahawkin Kia. I met with a young salesman named Jon Brooks. Jon displayed a level of professionalism and enthusiasm that I do not normally see in young men his age. After just a few minutes, I had a complete understanding of the vehicle offered and we were able to reach agreement on a price with no surprises. (I would not be surprised to see Jon managing a dealership in ten years if he chooses to stay in this business.) I took delivery of the vehicle two days later. This happened to be Jon’s day off, however the delivery transaction was just as painless. I called ahead, and the car was ready to go, complete with temporary plates, registration, and nearly a full tank of gas. (The weather had turned bad on our way down, so it was nice not having to stop on the return.) Cary Gardner walked us through the delivery process and got us on our way without delay. It is refreshing to buy a car without doing the North Jersey Dance – Anyone who has car-shopped in North Jersey knows what dance I mean. More

My Family had a very good experience at Manahawkin KIA My daughter needed a new car she wanted a small SUV with all wheel drive. Her mind was all but made up to purchase a competitors vehicle, but she fel My daughter needed a new car she wanted a small SUV with all wheel drive. Her mind was all but made up to purchase a competitors vehicle, but she felt that she should at least try a KIA Sportage and she probably would have if we had been waited on by any one else but Cary Gardiner. Cary very patiently listened to the features that were important to my daughter. Cary was knowledgeable about all of the vehicles that my daughter had looked at and she was able to compare and contrast the strengths of the Sportage to all of those other cars. After driving the Sportage my daughter called me and asked me to meet her and my wife at Manahawkin KIA. I liked the car. I felt it made sense for my daughter. Cary was able to answer all of my questions and she walked us through the trade-in, get insurance, how much down, how much the monthly payments will be, can we pick-up the car next weekend process. My whole family had a very good experience at Manahawking KIA. More
