Amazing experience! A huge thank you to the whole team at Southwest Kia! Everyone was extremely helpful and caring. I went in just to look at two different size vehicles A huge thank you to the whole team at Southwest Kia! Everyone was extremely helpful and caring. I went in just to look at two different size vehicles but Michael was so knowledgeable and real he helped me decide that a brand new Telluride was definitely going to be my new car! He and Derek actually listened to what I was saying I could afford and did such an amazing job I ended up getting an incredible car with an even better payment! Even the finance portion of the experience was great with Josh, he explained everything thoroughly and made us feel comfortable with finalizing a deal that seemed to good to be true. Every time we have reached out to the team here they have made us feel acknowledged and appreciated. From start to finish they have been incredible, thanks again guys for the new ride! More

This is a CIRCUS not a car dealership Long story short, we went in looking to purchase a brand new vehicle, Sales Manager Derek was extremely unprofessional (he got pissed and walked away Long story short, we went in looking to purchase a brand new vehicle, Sales Manager Derek was extremely unprofessional (he got pissed and walked away when we said we needed time to decide). Went in a second time only to be standing around watching clowns try to play golf in their sales offices. Based on my understanding, SouthWest Kia employees are salaried (they do not earn a commission), so it makes sense if they do not care about their customers. TLDR; they do not care about you, your needs or your business, take your money and spend it somewhere else. More

Best experience we've ever had at any dealership My husband and I came to this dealership knowing we were extremely interested in buying a Kia Soul !. Colby was our salesman and took us on a test dri My husband and I came to this dealership knowing we were extremely interested in buying a Kia Soul !. Colby was our salesman and took us on a test drive. If we had any doubt before, after spending time with Colby, our minds were made up. His enthusiasm and sincerity about the car sold us. The car buying experience at this dealership and with Colby was easy. There is absolutely no pressure to buy. Colby is very personable, friendly, down-to-earth, and a pleasure to deal with while making one feel comfortable - like you're talking to a good friend. He's definitely an asset to this dealership.

Great experience Took my 2018 Stinger 4-cylinder for service and wanted to see what kind of deal I could get to bump up to a Stinger GT. Colby helped me out. Never fel Took my 2018 Stinger 4-cylinder for service and wanted to see what kind of deal I could get to bump up to a Stinger GT. Colby helped me out. Never felt pressured by him. He showed enthusiasm for the brand and excited at the thought of bumping up to the more powerful V6. Ended up talking to Colby and the sales mgr (Derek) and again was never pressured by him. All rebates were shown up front and in about 10 minutes, I had the numbers in front of me. Not your typical back and forth negotiations which is quite frustrating and a waste of time. Great experience with Colby and manager. More
