Shawnee Mission Kia

We arrived at the new car site and the salesman whose name was Antonio greeted us as soon as we got out of our car. He asked what we were in the market for and we told him we were looking for a Kia Sore name was Antonio greeted us as soon as we got out of our car. He asked what we were in the market for and we told him we were looking for a Kia Sorento. However, we were looking for a minivan type vehicle and he told us that the Kia Sedona was the style we should look at. After answering a few questions about the Sedona we told him that we were actually looking for a used car so he walked with us to the used car lot that was down the street a ways. He showed us several 2009 models that were nice vans but a little more than we were wanting to pay. When we told him the price range that we wanted to stay in he immediately took us to a 2005 model that was very clean, not an enormous amount of miles and was very attractive. AFter taking a test drive we were in favor of making a purchase. He told us what the list price was and then the price they would be willing to sell the vehicle for. We made a counter offer and within 10 minutes we were on our way to talking financing. We were given three options on down payment, length of term, and monthly payment. I have never in my life bought a car where I was given those choices. We picked the one that best suited our needs and the rest is history. Antonio made purchasing a vehicle a pleasant experience, more so than I have experienced in the past. I would definitely do business again with Shawnee-Mission Kia and when I do I will ask for Antonio. More

I loved my experience with Shawnee Mission Kia and particularily with Begi! Not only was she super friendly and laid back in her sales communication, but she also tried so hard to get me everything I particularily with Begi! Not only was she super friendly and laid back in her sales communication, but she also tried so hard to get me everything I wanted in my car purchase. She found me the right color, the right milage, the right price and all the extras I wanted, even if it meant calling around to other places and lots she was associated with. I would recommend Shawnee Mission Kia to every friend and insist on you dealing with Begi!!! Ask for her! She is a great associate and a better person! Thanks Begi and everyone I worked with at Shawnee Mission Kia! S. Molchan More

In 1998 I became disabled and have been unable to work a full-time job; my husband has been the primary source of income in our household-we struggled for several years to work toward paying down our debt and improving our credit score.Although our credit score is still not where we'd like it to be-currently on the low side-Dustin Johnson- Salesman-and Mark the finacial manager, worked very hard to put us in a vehicle despite our credit score and the high balance we owed on our trade-in. Today we signed the paperwork and drove away in a 2010 KIA Optima LX. This is the first new car we have owned in more than 12 years. Our experience at Shawnee Mission Kia was definately a "10"! For any future buyers looking for a great deal, even if your credit score is 500-565, with proof of consistant employment-even SSDI benefits and an income of $1800.00 per month,go see Dustin Johnson at Shawnee Mission KIA and tell him the Wolfe's sent you! Good luck and Happy Shopping at Shawnee Mission KIA. S.Wolfe Lawrence, Kansas More

They h appreciation for the Shawnee Mission kia's associates listed above. They have gone above and beyond in making my experience a possitive one. They have worked with me even though I am not the easiest person to deal with. Everyone met my expectations and have continued to demonstrate why they are the number one customer rated dealership. Valerie was very knowledgeable and willing to work with me in getting into the car I wanted. Bobby, Chris, and John were of tremendous help when trying to get to the price needed in order to meet my budget. I do not know how else to express my gratitude to these individuals, but I just want them to know, I look forward working with them for my future Kia purchase. Thank you, Paul Satisfied Customer More

After reading a few less than flattering reviews on another area (all about a salesman named Nick). I decided to go ahead and give SMK a chance. I pulled in and the very first person to ask if I needed another area (all about a salesman named Nick). I decided to go ahead and give SMK a chance. I pulled in and the very first person to ask if I needed assistance was the infamous "Nick". I told him I was there to see Bo Hardy, he "tried" to see if I was interested in anyone else helping me, because Bo was out on a test drive. I simply but firmly said No, but that he could go fetch a few keys so that we could start our buying purchase without salesperson interfernce. We were there to "look" at and "test drive" the 2010/2011 Sorento, and the Sportage. I had researched and looked into both vehicles, but was really interested in the Sorento over the Sportage. Before we could even get the keys a very irrate customer of Nick's drove in, gave him a little what for and then proceded to tell us that he was less than Honorable. Not relly caring about Nick, I continued my "looking" experience. Nick handed me the keys to a 2011 Sportage, and I took it out for a drive. Looking down at the gas guage, Nick had put us in a car to test drive with the gas light on! DO NOT DEAL WITH NICK, just the few minutes I dealt with him was enough to get my blood boiling slightly. Upon returning to the dealership, Bo had come back from what we later learned was a less than pleasureable test drive experience with another customer. (Probably a former Nick customer) We then test drove the Sorento, and was less impressed with this vehicle. We returned to the dealership and Bo put us back in the Sportage again and went on a test drive again, this time with gas! We ended up driving the only car on the showroom floor off! (Its very small Dealership) Through either a marketing ploy or through actual life experience Bo put my wife and I at ease. It was very easy to talk with this man and he MADE the whole experience 10 times better. The only bad thing I have to say about this dealership is that there is very little privacy when talking with your salesperson, desks are crammed in, sounds echo and you can hear a conversation from across the room as if you were standing next to them. If anyone from SMK is listening, FIRE Nick, put in some cubicles with NEW undamaged Desks, and give your sales people an alternating schedule, so that they are not all there seemingly doing nothing but watching the one salesperson WITH a customer working!

I came to the dealership with my daughter to purchase new. Our hope was dashed and we thought we would go home empty handed but with the patience of Brian Waterman who left the used sales lot and stayed new. Our hope was dashed and we thought we would go home empty handed but with the patience of Brian Waterman who left the used sales lot and stayed with us during the entire time, I would recommend him and the Shawnee Mission Kia dealership to everyone. My daughter left with the car of her dreams and a good car buying experience she will never forget and by the time we got to Sam with his smiling face and explanation of all the paper work my daughter was signing we were elated. Thank you Shawnee Mission Kia and I will be back soon to purchase a new vehicle from you as well. More

We bought a new 2010 KIA Sedona. We traded our 2005 Kia Sedona after a recommendation from Mike in the service department. Marty was one of the best salesman I have had the pleasure of working with. Mr. Ch Sedona after a recommendation from Mike in the service department. Marty was one of the best salesman I have had the pleasure of working with. Mr. Chaunault in the finance office was very professional. I would recoomend Shawnee Mission KIA to everyone that I know. The service deptartment is the hands down best part of the dealership. More

We originally went into this dealership after speaking to someone on the phone about purchasing a NEW Sedona. I was only interested in the 2010 Sedona and wasn't going to settle for less. I told them our cre someone on the phone about purchasing a NEW Sedona. I was only interested in the 2010 Sedona and wasn't going to settle for less. I told them our credit rating and our trade in situation and they seemed to stumble over themselves they were so eager to help us. That night we spoke they said they had a $1000 customer incentive cash back program, plus car ownership loyalty (never heard of it) of $2500 for us owning another car (NOT a Kia) so long. The next day we get there it's a different story.. they only have 2 cars in stock and won't even let us look at them without running our credit. We sat in their VERY open waiting room while they discussed our situation loud enough for us to hear on the other side of the room for well over 2 hours. Eventually they came back and said they could offer us $400/month at 72 Months (10% interest) and would give us a gently used 2009 Sedona for $21000. This was without our trade in.. where the amount would go up because we were upside down on it.. and without any of the previously promised incentives. We ran out of there! Hopped over to Honda where we had purchased our trade in car and got a brand new Oddysey fully loaded for a steal. Plus we were able to roll in our old loan and they gave us a great deal on our trade in. The kicker though is that Kia won't stop calling. They've called five times since we purchased the other car and we keep telling them we've purchased elsewhere. They actually called once while we were signing the papers! Disgusted with the whole experience. If you like high pressure gimicky sales then Shawnee Mission Kia are the ones for you! :) More
