We purchased the 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige with the shadow matte gray exterior on August 31st. We did not know anything about matte paint and I thought it was a different color and style, but with the shadow matte gray exterior on August 31st. We did not know anything about matte paint and I thought it was a different color and style, but knew nothing about the level of care and maintenance it requires because I have not seem it much because it is only used on around 5% of vehicles in the US. Also, this is the second vehicle we have purchased from this dealership in the last six months. We leased the same car (different paint), a few months earlier. While waiting for the finance person, my wife and I sat down with the accessories person. We were told by the accessories person, Donny, that he recommended a coating to protect the matte finish because it cannot go through a car wash or the paint will be ruined. This was concerning because we knew nothing about matte finish so we were asking questions when David, who was working with us on financing, stepped out of his office to tell us we could use touchless car washes and it would be fine. This was a relief so we proceeded. When we took possession of the vehicle we asked Colton about the paint and he handed us a printed care guide, saying the information on how to care for the car was in there. That was it, we figured we could drive it like normal and not use car washes with brushes or rollers and it would be fine because that is what the experts at the dealership told us. When reviewing the guide from Kia a couple of days later while looking into caring for matte finish, I learned that caring for the car requires a completely different routine and that automated car washes would ruin the paint, which is not what we were told. This type of finish can only be cleaned by hand with certain chemicals and only rubbing/wiping it a certain way with specific products or the finish can be damaged or ruined. Also, minor scratches can't be fixed simply. After finding this out, I spoke with Bob Soucheray (Internet Sales Manager) to share my frustration with being explicitly misinformed, stating we are not happy and would have purchased a different car had the reality of caring for a matte finish been explained to us. This is especially true since we would not have bought the vehicle if we knew going through a car wash was not an option, given that living in Minnesota with sand and salt during the winter makes it even worse. Since we cannot hand wash the car at our house or anywhere else, we definitely would not have bought the vehicle. He informed me this has been a problem recently with other upset customers who have purchased matte vehicles without being informed of the required care and maintenance. We spoke on September 3rd and I followed up the conversation with an email to summarize the issue and make note that he said I would hear back from him after the a rep from Kia would be at the dealership on September 4th for training. I sent a follow up email to Bob on September 10th to check in since I had not heard from him or anyone at the dealership. As of today, September 29th, I still have not heard anything back. We had been happy with the car buying experience from Jeff Belzer’s Kia both times this year, but this complete lack of response to an issue has greatly lowered our opinion of the company. This experience gives a strong impression of them not caring about the customer once they have collected their money and problems of misinformation (or intentionally misrepresenting the truth) and how they respond to problems says a lot about the organization. We now have a $40,000 vehicle we are not prepared or equipped to care for properly and a dealer who is seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation. Avoid this place, everything might be great, but if something is not you cannot count on them. More

I rated 4 stars, not because of Tom or Jordon, but because the new car had an obvious paint chip, and the detail department said nothing about this. When I informed Jordon emails chip, he took a photo and promised us he would have the body shop fix it for us at no charge. Tom and Jordon are both first class salesmen. More

I dread buying cars, it’s never a pleasant experience, especially from a dealership. Jeff Belzers Lakeville has changed my opinion on that. Got paired up with Chase, who turned out to be amazing. No pr especially from a dealership. Jeff Belzers Lakeville has changed my opinion on that. Got paired up with Chase, who turned out to be amazing. No pressure, humorous, and laid back. He made the situation not at all stressful, we test drove a few vehicles I thought I wanted, and in the end he figured out the perfect car - not anything like I thought I wanted. He went above and beyond, and I’d recommend him to anyone. More
