We had one of the best experiences purchasing our 2027 Telluride Hybrid from Gay Kia in Dickinson. If you are planning a Kia purchase, by all means head to Gay Kia and ask for Dr. Mike; I guarantee you wi Telluride Hybrid from Gay Kia in Dickinson. If you are planning a Kia purchase, by all means head to Gay Kia and ask for Dr. Mike; I guarantee you will not regret it. We loved the no-pressure sales experience from Mike and the high-tech closing from Christian in finance. I have purchased many vehicles in my life, which usually takes 3, 4, and even 5 hours to complete a deal and drive out, but today we were able to get our deal and transaction completed in just a little over two hours. Thank you, Mike, Christian, and the entire Gay Kia staff! Manuel Torres More

Dr. Mike Datson, is an exceptional salesperson, straight forward and projected truthfulness and honesty throughout the entire transaction. The Gay Family Mike Datson, is an exceptional salesperson, straight forward and projected truthfulness and honesty throughout the entire transaction. The Gay Family Kia Sales Manager, Dylan Ebbs and Roy Maloney, the Kia Service Manager were a couple additional positive aspects encountered during this buying experience. Based solely on the actions of these individuals during my transaction and the Gay Dealership integrity, I would not hesitate to return to this organization to buy another automobile in the future.

The Doc had a great knowledge of his product and was that type of salesman who didn't do all the talking. He smiled! He allowed us to give our opinions and catered to our wants. Made us feel comfortable. Whe type of salesman who didn't do all the talking. He smiled! He allowed us to give our opinions and catered to our wants. Made us feel comfortable. When it came time to look at the features of our vehicle, he guided us as we went through them rather than push a bunch of buttons and say ok, let's do that credit check. Lol. We valued his efforts. And we are happy to say that we bought a Sorento from the Doc. Simply ask for him by Dr. Mike Dotson. You'll see why we recommend him. More
