Less than 3 weeks ago, my wife and I purchased a 2013 KIA Less than 3 weeks ago, my wife and I purchased a 2013 KIA Sportage EX from Premier Kia. Approximately a year ago, we purchased a 2011 KIA Soul S Less than 3 weeks ago, my wife and I purchased a 2013 KIA Sportage EX from Premier Kia. Approximately a year ago, we purchased a 2011 KIA Soul Sport from this dealership. We love our Soul. Now there are two Kia's parked in our garage. During this past year, the service department at Premier Kia was outstanding. We travel two-plus hours round trip to Premier Kia in Branford for service. Friendly staff, fair price, Free twenty-four month service, Twenty year / 200,000 power train warranty, etc., what more could a car buyer ask for. Yes, I would not hesitate to buy another Kia from this dealership. Robert Alvine, (President, General Manager), What a guy! Any problems? Contact him. He will get back to you in less than 24 hours. How many company presidents will do this? I applaud him! Derek McMorran, a man with two hats (Service Manager/Parts Manager). He always gives you his undivided attention whether you need parts or service on your new vehicle. Now for the Sales Staff: Tyler Walker is one of the nicest young men that I have ever met. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with. I only have one short-coming to mention. This is in regard to Liam McClellan (Sales Manager). The day we purchased our new Sportage, Liam raised his voice during our negotiation. It was in regard to Window Etching. I tried to explain that it was previously resolved by Mr. Alvine when I purchased my KIA Soul. I was able to decline Window Etching then and I know that I would be able to decline Window Etching now. I did not want this dealer add-on. Thank you Mr. Alvine. My auto dimming rear view mirror with "HomeLink" will only work to open my garage door when the vehicle lights are turned on. I called Johnson Controls (Division of HomeLink) customer service tech support. They informed me that the mirror was probably wired incorrectly at the dealership. I called Derek McMorran. He set up an appointment to bring my Sportage into the shop to get this problem resolved. KIA kid More
