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!

We went to look at a car we saw online that we were interested in purchasing. Unfortunately, it had sold already. But fortunately for us, we were greeted by Max ( from Ukraine). He broke the bad news a interested in purchasing. Unfortunately, it had sold already. But fortunately for us, we were greeted by Max ( from Ukraine). He broke the bad news about the car being sold, but offered to assist us in finding a similar vehicle to the one we were interested in. We ended up looking at two other vehicles and drove our new vehicle home that day! Max answered all our questions and we didn’t feel any pressure or “hard sells”. Happy we made the drive to Kia! Thanks Max and King Kia More

Customer service, timeliness, and his attention to detail are beyond superb. He worked up my trade-ins at exceptionally fair values, never pushed, always just put the data in front of me and would tell me "do this only if it looks good to you." Absolutely stellar! Highly recommended dealership and highly recommended sales rep. More
