Excellent service you won't regret Kia is such a great place to shop for cars. Greg Richards who helped us get our 2013 Kia soul was so kind and understanding. He really listened to my Kia is such a great place to shop for cars. Greg Richards who helped us get our 2013 Kia soul was so kind and understanding. He really listened to my family and showed us what he had. What I loved the most was he didn't pressure us like other dealerships have done the whole team were really nice and friendly.

Short, Sweet, and Hassle Free My husband and I went to Palm Springs Kia needing to buy a new car, and expecting rejection. We knew we didn't have the best credit, which is of cours My husband and I went to Palm Springs Kia needing to buy a new car, and expecting rejection. We knew we didn't have the best credit, which is of course important when it comes to buying a car and getting loans. That was when salesman Greg Richard stepped in. Not only was he polite, knowledgeable and caring, but he didn't pressure us into trying to buy something we didn't really want. After we explained our situation, he told us to just let him run our credit and see where we stood. He also told us, if at that point we didn't want to buy a car at Kia, at least we could take that knowledge with us. Man were we surprised. We weren't as bad off as we thought. We told him we wanted an SUV or a van because our car was getting to small for us and our three kids, and he not only made us feel comfortable in our car buying experience, but he made our children feel comfortable as well, which is a testament to his kindness and salesmanship! Instead of taking us to the most expensive car on the lot, which is what I was expecting, he suggested a car that was cheaper and better for our whole family....and we loved it!!!! He wasn't concerned with getting the most money out of us, but getting us what was right! Thank you so much Greg for all your time and suggestions. We wouldn't have this car if it wasn't for you. And not only did you do it on our terms, but there was never a no, we can't do that. Just, "I have great news". In all the times I have bought cars, that has never happened. It always seemed like they were only concerned with getting as much money as they could. Also, he called the next day to make sure we still loved it and to see how everything was going! Another first in my car buying experiences, and a big relief and surprise. We weren't just another chink in the chain, but a memorable experience for you as well!!!! :) So thank you again. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone I know that wants to buy a car without all the mumbo jumbo B.S. You were Awesome and the girls had a blast. They can't wait to write on the windows!!! ;) More
Avoid them. There adds are lies and so is their sales pitch Set a new low for car dealers. Before getting into my experience understand that this is about the dealer, not Kia. I still want to buy a Kia. I he Set a new low for car dealers. Before getting into my experience understand that this is about the dealer, not Kia. I still want to buy a Kia. I heard an add on the radio stating they were running a special giving $6000 above blue book value for all trade ins. I called to get the details. It was confirmed that this was true and there were no exceptions for the model of car, mileage, etc. Against my better judgement, I went to the dealer. I have been interested in Forte SX for a while. When I got there I test drove the EX, they did not have any cars like what I wanted. We started talking about the trade in and I was quoted $3150 for my car. I still owe $3150 on it. So I mention the add for $6000 over blue book and the salesman actually says "oh you know how advertising is, its just a way saying something that means something different." I said if they were not going to honor the adds we were done. Then he said cars with over 100,000 miles don't qualify. I told him I called to confirm the rules and was told there are no exceptions. The response was "well you didn't talk to me, I would have explained it to you. Who did you talk to?" I said I talked to Palm Springs Kia and they said there were no exceptions. He became visually upset at this response. They offered a couple more thousand for a trade in value and I said OK, lets talk about the car. He said The could have it there tomorrow. While we were discussing the trade in his manager found an SX model at another dealer. He showed me the info the car and said I want a white one, not blue. The I was told they will not order a car from the factory, I must buy what they have. Remember, we are talking about a new car, not a used one. This is supposed to be a new car dealer. At a used car place I can understand only being to get what is on the lot, but to say they will not order a car from the factory really surprised me. I will not pay top dollar for a new car and not be able to choose the options I want. Not to mention they still were not honoring their add. Lets put these criminals out of business by never buying from them. More
Best Car Buying Experience I Ever Had I Have bought a lot of cars over the years, and I have dealt with all types of sales people and various dealerships. I must say that I have never ha I Have bought a lot of cars over the years, and I have dealt with all types of sales people and various dealerships. I must say that I have never had a salesman as professional, knowledgeable, as the salesman at Palm Springs Kia. Randy Buonarigo is the salesperson I had the pleasure of working with. Randy made the car buying process simple, easy, non-pressure and a very pleasurable experience. Usually I rank having to go purchase a new car right up there with going to the dentist and have 3 cavity's filled and a root canal all at the same time. I was very surprised to actually have a happy experience buying a car. I always thought that when you buy a car and spend 25,000.00 to 30,000.00 on something you should be excited and happy about it, usually the dealerships I have purchased from in the past have made it a stressful and horrible experience. I thank you Randy for making this new KIA Forte the best car I ever bought, my hats off to you keep up the good work and you will make a lot of customers very happy More
Superior Sales Team I couldn't be happier with my experience at this dealership. Our Salesman, Ralph V, really went above and beyond to help us get into the car we wanted I couldn't be happier with my experience at this dealership. Our Salesman, Ralph V, really went above and beyond to help us get into the car we wanted at the price we wanted. No pressure, no gimmicks, no surprises! Finally, someone who really is on the customers side! The other team members we great as well. On a busy Saturday afternoon, more than one person came and asked us if we had any questions about features on our brand new car, some came by to congratulate us, the service manager even came over and gave us his card should we ever need service. It was such a warm environment. They just don't brush you aside after you sign your paperwork. Also, this was the least amount of time we've ever spent in a dealership! From start to finish, I say we weren't there more than a couple of hours. I'm still in disbelief :) I can't imagine buying a car from anywhere else. Palm Springs Kia will be my first stop for years to come. Thanks again PSK! More

I was asked if my first payment would start in March and would be close to my present payment, if 1 soft credit inquiry would be pulled and if a tow hitch would be installed would I buy the car I a would be close to my present payment, if 1 soft credit inquiry would be pulled and if a tow hitch would be installed would I buy the car I agreed only to have my 1st payment would be February 2nd $60.00 higher , 3 hard inquiries where pulled showing as a major negative affecting my effort in rebuilding my credit . I traded a kia sportage with a needed tow hitch, to be told a tow hitch will be installed on my new purchase, only to find out that was yet another lie More
My sales woman Anna was great. Very friendly and professional. The purchase aspect of dealing with the Kia folks was great. But now that I think about it, it makes sense. They are trying to make mon professional. The purchase aspect of dealing with the Kia folks was great. But now that I think about it, it makes sense. They are trying to make money. However, the rest has been, pretty much crap. I purchased a "certified per-owned vehicle". Approximately 6 days after purchase, the breaks stated squeeling. I took it in and they said its a warning indicator that I need to change the breaks soon. I told them, I purchased the car less than a week ago, and it's supposed to be a certified preowned vehicle. Silly me for thinking breaks would be covered in the certification process. I told the service guy , I don't think I should have to pay for breaks on a vehiclei purchased less than a week ago. He said he would talk to his boss and see what he could do. Aparently his boss didn't think the same as me. The best they were willing to do is give me a discount on a complete break package. So I ended up having to pay $250 for the break job. Here I am again 4 months later with blown head gaskets. I thought omg! Can this get worse? Of course. It's not covered by the warranty. They told me, because my fan stopped working it caused the engine to overheat and that's how my head gaskets got blown. I now end up paying $2900.00 for repairs that took them 2.5 weeks to fix. Btw, they were so nice to give me a rental for 8 of the 17 days, they had my car. They initially gave it to me for 3 days but paid for the extra day I kept the car. Then they said it was going to take longer. So after taking the bus for a few days, they said I could come pick up another rental. This time they said I could keep it for four days. I thought finally, I'll get my car back. Nope. I had to return the rental and my vehicle still was not ready. Two days later I finally got my car back. Two days after that, the check engine light came on. And that's where I am now. I'm deffinately not taking it back to Kia to fix, warranty or not. I'm just gonna end up paying for it anyways. If you think you're special and it won't happen to you. Go ahead, but, you should learn from my mistakes. After talking to a few people, I find they are known for bad business practices. I guess that's what I get for buying a used Chrysler at a Kia dealership. More
