They worked with me to get me exactly what I wanted and I was treated with the up most respect. From the sales employee, to the management and finance department, they worked with me till the very end. I left there with a brand new car and I got everything I went in expecting. Everyone was very helpful. More

Good car buying experience As car buying experiences go and a Chryser/Kia owner for over 20 years, Thomas Kia is one of the better ones. My salesman Tracy and a number of other As car buying experiences go and a Chryser/Kia owner for over 20 years, Thomas Kia is one of the better ones. My salesman Tracy and a number of other employees did a great job finding the car I was looking for. Being an "older" car buyer there was a LOT of electronic and technical issues to deal with and Tracy was very patient with me and took the time to be sure I understood most of it and even did a lot of it for me. I feel that they will be there to answer any further questions I may have and I know the service depart meet is excellent. Hoping to have lots of good years in my new little red wagon (Soul). More

Not only did i receive a great deal on my new 2015 sportage and an even more awesome was the salesman Mohamad who got me the great deal!! He is very knowledgeable about the vehicles in your establishment and is very personable and that made the buying process that much easier and convenient. Also the finance gentlemen Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. Over all I had a fantastic experience at Thomas kia and would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends and family.. More

Deceptive, very deceptive. Beware. Spotted a used car on a Sunday that was worthy of a second look. Went home and looked the car up on their web page. Price was good. I researched the w Spotted a used car on a Sunday that was worthy of a second look. Went home and looked the car up on their web page. Price was good. I researched the web for like cars/equipment and decided that if the car looked and drove good in the light of day I would buy it. Turns out that the car had scratches along the side and on the hood. But all else was ok for the most part and if they would fix the scratches, I'd give them their asking price. Now for the trickery. The price online is not the price. Who would have thunk it? Seems that it should be. The price is $4k higher. This is supposed to be a trade in allowance of some sort. I guess if you give them your car you get their car for the price on line. I have no trade, so I have to pay more than the advertised price for the car. Not putting the true price you are selling your product for is deceptive. Folks that feel that they have to trick you to make a living have a special place reserved for them in the hereafter. I think the good reviews for Thomas Kia are a lot of baloney. Can't possibly be the case. More

Wonderful New Ride Visited Thomas Kia with my daughter, who made a purchase. Looked over the Sportage on the showroom floor while waiting for her to complete paper work Visited Thomas Kia with my daughter, who made a purchase. Looked over the Sportage on the showroom floor while waiting for her to complete paper work. Returned a week later to take a test drive. Liked the ride. Jose Martinez was great to work with. The selections I had made from the on-line inventory had been sold - so with the help of Jose and Tom Seely - finally located a Sportage in our color choice and with the EX Premium Package. The vehicle is great looking and a fantastic ride. The UVO technology is awesome. Thank you for the super effort to provide the vehicle my wife and I wanted. More

AWFUL EXPERIENCE I went to Thomas Kia on a Tuesday night to look at a 2011 Town & Country that was listed on their website. When we arrived at the lot, we were quickly I went to Thomas Kia on a Tuesday night to look at a 2011 Town & Country that was listed on their website. When we arrived at the lot, we were quickly greeted by Tracy Martin, who got us the keys for the van so we could take a look. Once we got into the van (the key fob needed new batteries), we quickly noticed it hadn't been cleaned yet. There was crayon on the sides, and just general dirt and muck everywhere. Really disappointing, but we took it for a test drive and were generally pleased with it, until we cleaned the front windshield and noticed the rather large crack in the middle of it. Once again, something that should have been fixed before listing the van for sale. Did you think no one would notice? When we returned, we told the salesperson that we were interested in working up some numbers if the van would be detailed and the windshield replaced. We went into the showroom and waited while Tracy got some numbers worked up, and got quite a surprise when he returned. The cost of the vehicle had suddenly gone up $4,000 because we didn't have a trade! I was upset that they snuck this in on us, and told him we weren't interested in the van for $22k when it had been listed for $18k on the website. He then wrote up on a piece of paper: $18,000 + tax, title, license X_________________ Drive Home He wanted me to sign it stating that I would take it home if they could offer it for $18,000, though we still had questions about the warranty and financing, plus the cosmetic work that still needed to be done! We refused, and when he continued to push the subject, we got up and left. I was absolutely disgusted by this tactic. We were clearly interested in the van and didn't need to sign our name to something to express that. The next day (Wednesday), I received a call from what I believe to be a third-party service review company. After sharing my bad experience with the service rep, he asked if we were still interested in purchasing the van if we could deal with a different salesperson. I agreed I'd speak with someone again, but would only deal with a manager. We disconnected with the promise that I would be contacted soon by a manager. The next day, I did receive a call from Daenan (I believe that's how you spell it), and he offered me the van for $18,495 with a lifetime powertrain warranty. I told him I would speak to my husband and call him back. Within a couple of hours, I called back to say we were interested, but couldn't come in until Friday night because my husband had physical therapy that night. He stated that was no problem and he'd see me then. On Friday afternoon, I got a voicemail from Tracy Martin, the original salesman that had caused me to walk out in the first place, saying that they took a deposit on the van that morning and the woman was coming in to pick it up that evening. I'm glad I was busy at work when that call came in because I may have said some things I regretted had I gotten that news from someone I was already unhappy with. I couldn't believe they had the audacity to have him call me! I called back and spoke with Daenan again and confirmed that yes, the van had been sold. I was incredibly upset. I had never been asked for a deposit, never called before they made the sale to confirm if I was indeed coming to purchase it that night. To agree on a price and commit the van to me and then sell it out from underneath me was bad business and just plain wrong! My husband and I decided to go by the dealership after work on Friday anyways to express our disappointment in how this was handled. I knew it wouldn't change anything, but I wanted him to know, face-to-face, how wrongly they had treated us. We got no remorse and an apology with no real feeling behind it. "That's the way it works sometimes" is all Daenan kept spouting off to us. I'm sorry, but that's not the way it should ever work in a properly-run business. On the phone, he said he wanted to earn my business, but it's clear to me that was never really the case. You cared about making a sale, but not about earning my business. There was no respect from anyone at that dealership, and I want everyone to know that they're only interested in selling you vehicle (no matter how dirty and banged up), but they're not interested in earning you rtrust and respect. There are a lot of other dealerships in that area, and I'll be making the trip to others in the future while I continue to spread the word of how awful an experience trying to purchase a vehicle there really was.
