I have 13 years of Kia product knowledge and sales experience. Born and raised in Lake County. I currently live in Mentor with my wife, two kids and two dogs. I chose to work at Preston Superstore because they are a family owned and operated store. We believe that if you help people get what they want you will eventually get what you want.

Tom Zauszniewski has been my salesman at Preston for years. I think I have leased or bought 4 Kias from him. He is so polite and professional and it is a delight to work with him. He always makes my years. I think I have leased or bought 4 Kias from him. He is so polite and professional and it is a delight to work with him. He always makes my experience stress free and pleasant. I can always call him if I have a problem or question. I am set for another three years but I know Tom Z will be there if I need him. He better still be there! He's my guy. Tom Barrett went through all the bells and whistles on my new 2020 Kia Forte on Tom Z's day off. Wonderful to know how much that car offers. He was so patient in explaining every thing. Good job. Tom Topor has the Preston courtesy and professionalism like the other "Toms". No matter how small or incidental the problem is Tom T is always ready to help. When I was rear ended recently, Bob Bently put my car back together like it just came off the show room floor. Arranged everything and kept me up to date. Mary Ann Doerzbacher, loyal Preston customer More

Purchased a 2017 Kia Sorento, from Preston Kia, in Burton. I haven't been to a dealership in over 20 yrs., because of the usual hastle. My experience at Preston was amazing. My salesman, Tom Barrett, Burton. I haven't been to a dealership in over 20 yrs., because of the usual hastle. My experience at Preston was amazing. My salesman, Tom Barrett, was friendly, professional, honest and made me feel at ease. I explained what I wanted and my 'target' price. Tom found this Sorento on the lot. I just drove it back and forth to Columbus on Saturday, 9/12. With Tom's instructions, I was able to link my phone , with Google Maps, to the vehicle. This car rides smoother than some more expensive SUV's. I drive for Classic Mini, BMW and Lexus. I have driven cars that are priced 3 times higher than this Kia, and I can say honestly, I'm glad I made the trip down to Burton. Thank You Tom Barrett, for making my car buying experience so easy.

I recently purchased a 2021 Kia Telluride with the exceptional help of Tom Barrett. I am an out of state customer and this added a lot of demand and complexities to the sale vs just walking in and get exceptional help of Tom Barrett. I am an out of state customer and this added a lot of demand and complexities to the sale vs just walking in and getting the sale done. Tom went above and beyond to help answer all of my questions and help with coordination of shipping. The price I paid for the Telluride was incredibly competitive. Especially in a market where dealerships are charging $5000-8000 over sticker price. I paid MSRP, no forces add ons either: We now have the Telluride in our garage and are beyond thrilled with the vehicle and the fact we bought it from someone as genuine and pleasant to work with. Thanks again Tom! More
