Default Dealership review section

I think it may be a good idea. Unfortunately i'd love to steer people away from my experience with my dealer which gets a poor grade.

Cobourg KIA in Ontario, CAN, best place ever. If anyone is ever around there, Steve and matt are the mechanics, they're the only ones I trust on my car.

Towne kia Denville, NJ-
great service department, they have a lounge set up with free coffee(I like the peanut butter hot chocolate), cable television, WIFI, vending machines, even has a small playroom for kids. makes the time go by so much quicker. beautiful showroom, and the nicest employees(I know theyre trying to make a buck) salesmen were polite and explained everything very well, during my first new car buying experiance.And most importantly, I dont feel screwed walking out of there. I will definately go back for my next vehicle.

Weston Kia in Gresham, OR has a great sales team but the worst service department. I go to Broadway Kia in Portland, OR for my service.

Oh, and someone please view my profile! It's at 2,666 and I don't like it, lol.

Crown Kia in Tyler, Tx... They were amazing! The dealer drove an hour and a half to personally pick up my car from Dallas, TX so that when I got home from Korea I could buy it, then he gave me an extra discount on it. Throughly happy! Will be having everything I can done there or through them.

Completely agree. I also go to Peter's Kia in Nashua, NH. Very good dealership and great, large TV room with plenty of food and snacks. Their computer/business room is a nice addition too when you're waiting. Setting up online appointments is a breeze and the staff is professional. My father has a 2004 Honda Pilot, bought his Pilot from them brand new (dealership is Kia/Honda/Nissan, they have Nissan GT-R's in the Nissan showroom). He has never had a bad experience with the dealership. Works out now that we both go to the same dealership. Price-wise they gave us good prices on our vehicles. Only negative feature of the dealership would be the risk to install aftermarket parts. They seem to be relatively strict on that.

Harris Kia in Lansdale Pa gets my thumbs-up!
Second new Kia from them, first was a 97 sportage.
I called them when I was ready to buy, they found me the car I wanted
and picked it up in another state.

Smail KIA, in Greensburg, PA Is amazing. (Ok with aftermarket mods as long as it's not too drastic aka, NO TURBO)

Lion Country Kia, in State College, PA is also amazing. (conservative on the Aftermarket parts, they won't void the warranty, but, they're aware of the parts you have, for example they told me if my MAF sensor goes bad because of oil build up, t's my fault for using an oiled filter rather than dry.)

The sales Department was good at Kia of Savannah but I havent even went in for my first oil change. So I have no clue on the service department yet.
