The vehicle I purchased from VanDeVere of Kia was a 2012 Kia Forte Koup. I first found my vehicle on a new car line-up website. It took me no less than 5 minutes to put in my request to test drive the 2012 Kia Forte Koup. I first found my vehicle on a new car line-up website. It took me no less than 5 minutes to put in my request to test drive the 2012 Kia Forte Koup. I received a call from VanDevere early the next day, offering an opportunity to come in for an appointment. At first I was nervous and worried about my credit and how much of a down payment I would need. Bryon Miller was helpful and understanding of my finances and made his best effort to get me a deal for the vehicle, that I could afford, that same day. He answered all my questions that I asked, and didn't pressure or rush me. I was afforded time and the opportunity to negotiation to make my decision. After my experience at VanDevere I would recommend both the dealership and Bryon Miller for sales. I purchased my first brand new vehicle, unused, at VanDevere of Kia, at an affordable price and I couldn't be happier with my decision. More
The service we received from making the phone call for an appointment to driving out of the lot with my new Kia Soul was the best!! Lisa was so friendly (suggested a restaurant when we said we would like to appointment to driving out of the lot with my new Kia Soul was the best!! Lisa was so friendly (suggested a restaurant when we said we would like to get some breakfast) to being so kind when she had to break the news to us about my Sorento. It was great that we actually got to see what the problems were with the Sorento instead of just being told. At that point we said we needed to think about trading. Lisa asked us if we new what we would want to look at and we said not really. We just would like to see what is out there. She then asked if we would like someone to show us around and we said that would be great. She introduced us to Jeff Ross. I was immediately impressed as he took the time to get to know my husband and me before asking anything about a car. He was not pushy, cocky or cold like most of all the past sales people we have dealt with. He was truly interested in what WE wanted and what WE were wanting to do. My husband and I were so impressed by him. He took us out and let us check out various vehicles and then asked us what we wanted from this vehicle. I told him I truly loved my Sorento but I would like to get something economical due to gas prices. I said I would kinda like to check out the Soul. Jeff took us over to the Soul and we checked it out and then took it for a test drive. We returned and started the buying process. My husband is a hard person to sell to as he knows what he wants and the price he will pay and the amount he will get for his trade. Jeff and him discussed and when I saw my husband smile I knew it was a done deal. We the went to Rocky for the financing and it went so smooth I was kinda nervous. I would strongly suggest to anyone looking for a dealer you can feel comfortable and trust go to this one. More
My fathers last new car was an early 1950's Ford. We decided on the KIA Sedona and checked prices online, telephone, and on the car lots. No one in NW pa. Eastern Ohio or Western NY. could match or beat decided on the KIA Sedona and checked prices online, telephone, and on the car lots. No one in NW pa. Eastern Ohio or Western NY. could match or beat VanDevere KIA. My Mother wanted it in white and they had at least two, to choose from. Rob and Jim made my fathers first new car in 60yrs. a very enjoyable event. Thanks guys, p.s. the Akron Family restaurant was great. More
Jeff Ross is an amazing person. One of the nicest people I have ever met, he's kind, considerate, pleasure to talk to, and knowledgeable. He is the salesman you want to meet when you go to Van Devere! I have ever met, he's kind, considerate, pleasure to talk to, and knowledgeable.

Visiting this dealer from the Youngstown area was definitely worth the hour's drive. I inquired about a car I was interested in online with several dealers between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. They w definitely worth the hour's drive. I inquired about a car I was interested in online with several dealers between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. They were the only ones that responded PERSONALLY with a phone call to set up an appointment and to answer a few questions I had. Absolutely no xx from Ron. I had a pretty good idea what I wanted and that's EXACTLY what he showed me- no trying to size me up financially to see how much he could take me for, no bait-and-switch, no trying to talk me into something more expensive. He was just as upfront in the office as he was on the lot. Explained everything thoroughly and got a better deal than I had hoped to get. Signing papers in the office with Tina went just as smoothly. Though she did try to sell me a few "extra" things I wasn't interested in, she wasn't overly pushy, and didn't turn evil on me when I declined them. I would definitely suggest to anyone who's ever had a bad experience with Youngstown's local Kia dealer to take a look at VanDevere... The only thing I'm not 100% happy about: I bought a black car in the middle of winter- it's already dirty. More
Purchased a brand new car about three weeks ago. They didn't have the color I wanted there on the lot so I was told I would have to wait two DAYS for the one I wanted. I called back two days later to fin didn't have the color I wanted there on the lot so I was told I would have to wait two DAYS for the one I wanted. I called back two days later to find out that my sales rep no longer worked there and that they ordered the wrong color car. So two DAYS turned into two WEEKS. called back to check on my car now that its been two weeks and still no car. Called again today and they're telling me they have no idea when its coming in. All along the way they told me there was nothing they could do for me and since my sales rep no longer worked there that they couldn't prove that they ordered the wrong color. So here I am waiting over TWO WEEKS for a car I put money down on and still no car. Never will buy from this dealership again and I suggest you don't unless you actually see the car on the lot you're buying. More

I purchased a 2010 Kia Forte EX from VanDevere and I love it! They actually sold the car I was coming in to purchase, so they found me the exact car I wanted! I told them I wanted a 2010 Forte EX with under it! They actually sold the car I was coming in to purchase, so they found me the exact car I wanted! I told them I wanted a 2010 Forte EX with under 40k miles, black exterior, ect. I had the keys in my hand in less than 2 weeks! The car only came with one key and no keyless entry remote. I decided that I was going to purchase one, and then they called me to say that they had come in after the car came in so they sent them to me for free! They easily could have sold it to me for regular price and I would have no clue, but they were honest. My only complaint is that the car has a cigarette burn about the size of my thumb in the back seat. I also had to contact the dealer several times to get prices on vehicles and it took them a few days to return my calls at first. Other than that, GREAT experience! More

Both Jeff and Kyle Took rally good care of us and took us out to our new cars and explained the controls and all the neat "toys" we got with each car. I would definately refer people them and have already! Thanks again!! More
I was very happy with the whole sales experience. Jeff Ross was very professional and sincere. He did not make me feel pressured at all. Just want to say I love my 2012 Kia Sorento.....didn't think I wo Ross was very professional and sincere. He did not make me feel pressured at all.
