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!

So happy he’s locate Max was very attentive and responsive.. I could go on and on, but if you visit King KIA location, it’s a MUST you ask for Max. So happy he’s located near the door so we didn’t have to look any further. The conversation and laughs were limitless. No pressed us to purchase our vehicle but instead just made the process as simple as possible… Might I add; we didn’t spend excessive hours at the dealership like other places we’ve purchased vehicle from in the past. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND KingKIA and sales Max! More
