I served the country in the U.S. Navy for over 20 years. Now I'm here serving you & your new vehicle wants, needs and desires. You won't find a harder working management team at any other dealership. We fight with every lender to get you the best terms available. I've been happily married for 20+ years with 2 beautiful girls, 1 grandson & a cat that we inherited. In the little spare time i do get, you might catch my cruising the back roads on my motorcycle or see me at church playing my 5 string bass guitar. We hope you'll become a part of the Team Tosa Kia family!

I did end up purchasing the vehicle, but the buying process raised concerns. Initially, a $2,500 paint protection package and a $500 VIN etch were presented as required for purchase, despite not being process raised concerns. Initially, a $2,500 paint protection package and a $500 VIN etch were presented as required for purchase, despite not being included in the advertised price online. I asked/refused 3 different times, in different ways, and each time they implied both were unable to be removed from the deal. Eventually, I was assured multiple times that both items would be removed, including on day of purchase when I called ahead to get a verbal assurance before driving over 3 hours roundtrip to the dealership. Despite this, the VIN etch still appeared on the final contract at signing. Although the finance manager corrected it once I pointed it out, it was concerning that a repeatedly rejected add-on made it back into the final deal. From further research, this is not the first time this has happened to potential customers of Russ Darrow Kia. However, I must mention that the vehicle itself is driving great! I just wish the buying process didn't include so much drama. More

Russ Darrow Kia did a phenominal job listening to our requests when shopping for a new vehicle and they delivered. As the manager, James was very responsive and getting us the details we were looking fo requests when shopping for a new vehicle and they delivered. As the manager, James was very responsive and getting us the details we were looking for. Ernesto was phenominal stepping in to assist with the process. He was very humble in his approach, kind and thoughtful. If you're like us, buying a car is nervewracking but he was awesome in his approach and was like talking with a friend you haven't seen in years. We visited a number of auto dealers but Kia Russ Darrow came out top! More
