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!
