I'm Max Golenko, a sales professional with over 5 years of experience in the auto industry. Originally from Odessa, Ukraine, I previously worked as an air traffic controller and flight operations supervisor at an international airport. After moving to Canada, and then to Maryland in 2023, I joined King KIA and Volkswagen in Gaithersburg, MD. I help customers find the perfect new Kia, VW, or pre-owned vehicle, always taking time to understand their needs and budget. I speak English, Russian, and Ukrainian, and I’m happy to assist in any of these languages. I pride myself on honest, transparent service — and I stay in touch with my clients after the sale to offer continued support. I look forward to working with you!

I’ve been in the car business for almost 10 years and with high line for 7. Max is fantastic at what he does. Out of all the Kia dealerships I contacted he’s the only one who provided me with the numbers with high line for 7. Max is fantastic at what he does. Out of all the Kia dealerships I contacted he’s the only one who provided me with the numbers I requested, had the best price, and was true to his word when I arrived. He had the car cleaned, charged, and ready for my arrival parked out front. He took the time to go over features I didn’t know I cared about till he showed me. He was honest and timely. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience - and that’s coming from somebody with extremely high expectations on how business should be conducted. More

I had an outstanding experience at this dealership and truly felt taken care of from start to finish. I worked with **Max**, who—even without an appointment and while juggling other customers—managed his truly felt taken care of from start to finish. I worked with **Max**, who—even without an appointment and while juggling other customers—managed his time flawlessly. He made me feel like a priority the entire day. He listened to what I wanted, genuinely cared about my interests, and worked hard to get me the best deal on both my trade‑in and my new car. I was there for a while, and he even offered me some of the lunch the team had ordered, which was such a thoughtful touch. I drove just shy of an hour from Virginia because of the great reviews I saw on DealerRater, and it was absolutely worth the trip. When I got home, I had a small accident with my garage, and the dealership reached out right away to help me get it fixed at a low cost—thank you, **Bob**, for the quick support. I also had a great experience with **Hassler** in finance. He was honest, patient, and walked me through all my options without any pressure. Even a week later, when I had follow‑up questions, he took the time to answer everything clearly. This dealership is the real deal. If you’re looking for a place that values integrity, customer care, and going the extra mile, this is where you should buy your car. More
