Darrell was AMAZING...... Right out of the gate NO PRESSURE and nothing but kindness and honesty.... We where on schedule to look at 8 cars yesterday with different dealerships before making our purchase. University Kia was our first stop and We never went anywhere else..... Darrell made sure we where 100% taken care of and we where 100% Satisfied with EVERYTHING. We SERIOUSLY recommend you come to University Kia.... AND ASK FOR DARRELL...... You can thank me later😁😁

I just purchased a 2021 Kia Forte! I couldn’t have asked for better service! Chris Gardner was the sweetest and most helpful salesman I have ever dealt with! He went above and beyond to get me the best deal! I would recommend him and Kia for anyone buying a car! Definitely 5 stars!!’

My salesperson Keoni was phenomenal! He was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed for myself and my family! Next time I or someone I know needs a vehicle, I’ll be sending them to him. :)

I came in today in a very tough situation with my car and I was beginning to lose hope in finding something that wasn’t a complete lemon. Chris Gardner took AMAZING care of me and wasn’t gonna let me leave empty ended if he could help it. Professional, fairly quick, and genuine service all around. Thank you, Chris! I’ll be sending people your way for sure. 😊

On Wednesday, September 22 I came by the dealership and worked with Chris Gardner. He was such an outstanding salesperson who took the time to get me approved through the car-buying process. He explained everything in detail that I needed to know before I left the dealership in a new ride. He is a great asset to this company and I will be referring anybody to him who wants a vehicle. Thank you University Kia!Jarvis.

Made appointment over phone for check engine light. Went to drop car off and was then told it would be 3-6 weeks because they only have one diagnostic tech and are backed up. Time before this, they missed lug nuts on tires and lost my keys spending a half hour trying to find them, no apology. Will be looking for a new place.

I went in to buy a new car for my husband and was greeted immediately by a wonder associate that was patient as we walked around and gave us our space when needed. We went and got our information from the bank and came back and got the process started. The staff was gracious and showed us a generous time. Made our first car buying experience an easy one.

We will not be buying a Kia after our experience here. My wife spoke to a sales person and was told that the car we wanted to come see would be ready and waiting Friday at 6pm. So we drove 40 minutes over to the dealership to see and when we got there they told us the car had been loaned out and wouldn’t be back until Monday. No apology or offer to help in another way. No suggestions of how they could help just oh well try back Monday. They will not be getting our money.

My whole experience was awesome and a smooth process. I worked with Chris Gardner(I remember his name because of the movie Will Smith was in😁). Chris knew all about the car that I wanted. He was able to give me the facts about the car.He answered all my questions I had about the car as well. I felt very good about leaving with the car that I wanted. I love my car. Before I left he asked me if I had any questions and if I had any after I leave, just call and he will continue to help me. I was very appreciative to deal with a person like that because sometimes that willingness to assist as he did isn’t always given by others.I would definitely recommend him to everybody because the service and process was great.

My mother and I went to Kia University Drive and was assisted by Andrew. We were not expecting to get in a car today, but the Lord blessed us with Andrew and all of his assistance. He found us a car that we could afford and he was truly awesome to work with. Amazing, professional, engaging and he got us in a 2021 and that was so surprising. His manager Mike really worked to get us in the car and he was super nice, as well! Thank you for being wonderful people…they were truly a blessing! If you need a car, please go see Andrew, as he is the BEST!

Purchased a 2022 Kia Telluride, and I gotta say this is probably the easiest place to buy a car, the customer service was excellent! We had an awesome experience, especially with the help of Darryl Gilbert the sales consultant! Amazing job! I highly recommend him! But I really appreciate all the help, and hard work you guys did! Definitely will buy from here again!

Selling peace of mind in uncertain times.I had the best team of sales associates working to get me into the car of my dreams. If you get the chance to work with Amber M., Hope M., Mike L., and Nick H., then you are in good hands. They will walk through everything you need to know about the current, hectic car market. Im glad I got the chance to meet such wonderful people.

Review №21

Kia has Very poor quality. 2018 Kia Soul. 82,000 miles. Motor locked up due to known oil consumption from a factory defect. Mine is #14 in line out of 24 vehicles with the same issue. My car has been there over a week. It has not been looked at yet. They are telling me it will be 1 month to look at it and 2 or more months to repair it under warranty with a new motor. They are not willing to provide me with a rental car to make a repair that is under warranty. So unless you are willing to walk DO NOT buy a Kia especially one from University Kia which is owned by Greenway. The service department is way below par.

I dont like buying cars. There I said it... However the team at University Kia, especially Calvin Owens made the experience pleasant and enjoyable. He was knowledgeable on all the offerings on the lot, new as well as used. Calvin worked with me to find a vehicle that fitted my needs, most of my wants, and most importantly my budget. I appreciate the entire staff of University Kia for their commitment to the best customer experience Ive had purchasing a vehicle.

Such a wonderful experience. From the beginning talking to Mike to working with my sales agent, Andrew everything was at ease. They made me feel like part of the Kia family and even helped me get a great deal on my new car. Dont let the unease of buying a car delay your decision. Call and talk to Andrew and he will help you anyway he can. Best part honest, dependable and sticks to their word. My go to from now on when it comes to buying any vehicle for my family. Thanks Andrew and Mike!

I came to University Kia to lease the cheapest car I could for my 16 year old son and due to personal circumstances I didn’t have much to work with. I came in with a payment amount that I could get Work with and Shaft found a car my son loves. Initially it was out of my price range, but a simple conversation and BAM! It was exactly what I could afford. We were in and out in just a couple hours for a quick and painless experience. This was easily the most efficient and pleasant car buying experience I’ve ever had. Shaft was pleasant, professional and friendly. He treated my son and I with respect and met our needs perfectly.

We had such a wonderful experience with Chris. From the second we pulled up, he answered all the questions we had and was very professional.

Review №37

Double check when they offer you their loans, they write on paper that they will pay off your trade in and then add whatever they didn’t actually give you for it onto your cost of your loan and when you call them out on it they say you are slandering them and they have lawyers, absolutely ridiculous. The agents are friendly but I won’t be going back to this place. I got a better deal down the road in less then an hour and all the information was laid out clearly on paper. I kept my paperwork just in case.

Review №38

First appointment I set for my car the service advisor seemed as if they didn’t want to be bothered. It was a Saturday and he stated it would be a 4-5 hour wait so I rescheduled for a day during the week to have it dropped off. Well my husband brought it in and it wasn’t that long at all before he picked it up. I have been having issues with my tires (that were supposedly rotated) since then. I tried calling multiple times to speak to someone about it with no luck, I am always told someone will reach out to me and that never happened! Horrible service. I am new to the area and it looks like I’ll have to take my business someone else.

Went in to look at trading my 2015 kia sol. Knew it would be a challenge as I still owed more than worth, but Chris and Mike worked really hard for me and got me in the car I wanted for the payments I asked for and the down payment I needed!!! The customer service here is the best I’ve experienced at any car dealership!!! Way to go!!! Everyone was friendly and took time to speak cheerfully before it was even a done deal! See these folks first!

My experience at University KIA was fantastic. I’ve been a used car guy since I was a teenager, and after my third vehicle in 10 years died on me, I knew I had to get something reliable. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They worked with me to find a vehicle within my budget, and never pressured me to make a decision.AJ was the sales team member who assisted me, and I cannot recommend him enough. He was very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease during the entire process. If your in the market for a new car, call and ask for him.

Review №62

This place is the most unprofessional dealership that I have ever dealt with. I was trying to purchase a 2022 Carnival from them and they couldnt find one for me and told me I had to wait. I was fine with that because I didnt need the car until May and there is a car shortage nationally right now due to silicon being in short supply to make the components for the vehicles. It has been almost month and they have stopped answering my phone calls and the manager sends me straight to his voicemail. It took me saying I want my deposit back to even get him on the phone. When I finally talked to him he was very passive aggressive. If they would have just called me back when they said they were going to or made an effort to keep me informed at all then I would have been fine and I would have waited.I swear to you I am not some Karen that gets mad over little things. They are genuinely just nice to your face to sell you a car and are the embodiment of a stereotypical car salesman. Good luck to anyone who buys from here. Maybe your experience will be better than mine, but if they have to find you a car or they dont have it then good luck with the communication. Luckily they will give you your deposit back if you do run into this.

Review №67

If you want to pay $7,000 over sticker price with no room for any negotiation this is your place. I realize cars are scarce but a 1.5 hour drive can save your THOUSANDS of dollars, or drive 2 miles away and buy a Hyundai for MSRP. The showroom is in bad condition as well; dirty, stained ceiling tiles, etc. My advice is to stay far away.

Review №75

I would give the service dept a zero if I could! The worst customer service I have ever experience with any service dept! Of course, the purchasing process is not the problem. The minute you need your car serviced, you WILL have a the most horrible experience! Its been 35 days and I still have not gotten my brand new car back. According to them, I only need the fuel tank clean, so why does it take 35+ days!. No one has even looked at it! Dan, the so called repair man, lied to me for 3 weeks until I finally found out the truth. He kept telling me that he was moving along in the process, this was done, that was done, blah blah blah. Come to find out, it was sitting for 3 weeks and nobody even knew where it was. Three people took 30 mins to locate it! I knew I should have gone to Mazda! Reach out to the General manager, no response. Talked to 3 managers, no one wants to take ownership or even knows what to do to rectify this. I am so disappoint! 30k and I cant even enjoy my vehicle smh
