An Unbelievable Car Buying Experience I honestly can't say enough good things about Gay Family Kia. We worked with Dr. Mike Dobson in sales and Austin, the Sales Manager, and they completely changed my pe say enough good things about Gay Family Kia. We worked with Dr. Mike Dobson in sales and Austin, the Sales Manager, and they completely changed my perception of what buying a car can be. From the moment we walked in, there was zero pressure, zero games, and zero hassle. Everything was straightforward, transparent, and incredibly efficient. We were back in our driveway with our daughter's new car in just three hours. The best part? We were able to surprise our daughter with her very first car on her 16th birthday. That's a memory our family will never forget, and Dr. Mike and the entire Gay Family Kia team played a huge part in making it happen. If you're expecting the typical dealership experience, think again. This was the exact opposite—professional, honest, respectful, and genuinely enjoyable. If you're in the market for a Kia, don't waste your time going anywhere else. Thank you, Dr. Mike, Austin, and everyone at Gay Family Kia for making such a special day possible for our family. More
