Sadly there werent any new Souls available when I went to buy one. Thankfully their certified pre-owned Souls are just like getting one new. The staff there were great, especially Brandon & Alex, and the process was quick. Ive never been able to get in and out of a dealership and not have to spend all day there to get a vehicle. Was actually an enjoyable experience. Will definitely recommend them to friends/family, and hope to work with them again in the future.
This place is changing the way you buy a car they are making the car buying experience fun and enjoyable. Jason Stone was my salesman and he went above and beyond to not only to help me out of my situation but also to make sure I was aware of everything throughout the entire process. Showed me a car that fit my budget and fit my needs. I cant say enough good things about Coastal Kia! Michael was also amazing and super friendly throughout the entire Finance and Insurance process. Thoroughly explained everything I was signing.Coastal Kia treats you like family and I HIGHLY recommend going to see Jason Stone for all your future car purchases.
I just bought a car from Coastal Kia and I have to say it was one of the best experiences. The sale room is nice and updated. Very and hygienic. Jason G. who sold me my car guided me to a more appropriate car that I would actually enjoy and was what I actually was looking for within my budget. I love my new car. The best part was using that big touch screen finance desk. It was so awesome. I’d recommend Coastal Kia and Jason G. to all my friends and family who are looking for a car.
I went and got my car last Wednesday right before work and they were so helpful! As soon as I pulled up into the lot I was taken in and was able to quickly sit down with one of their associates in less than 10 minutes (regardless of it being busy). They also drove all the way from Wilmington to Southport to show me some of the cars I could choose from. They sat down with us and talked about all the policies and told which ones would be most beneficial for us, and gave us the best deals. It was my first time getting a new car and it was a wonderful experience for both me and my parents. Would definitely recommend them for new car owners and anyone with little experience with purchasing cars.They associate I dealt with specifically was named Ever and he was so nice. He was able to make me feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process and was very patient. He also helped my sister and mother get vehicles from there too.
My overall experience at Coastal Kia was awesome. My car was totaled earlier in the week, and being a single mother it’s extremely important to have a vehicle. Steve Kramer went above and beyond to get me in the car I wanted, even though it was difficult because of my credit history. But he made it happen! I have a car that I really love, and didn’t have to settle for. Thank you Steve for everything you did for me. I will definitely be a returning customer when the time comes.
We love the car itself. We bought the Kia Rio used one owner with less than 6,000 miles. They found us a great apr financing for us. Jan Ramos was our sales person. Hes new and has that special personal attitude to help people to find what they need. Everyone has a great attitude. I would definitely recommend anyone to buy from Coastal Kia! Plus Jan is a great asset to this company. Thank you for our new car. We love it. Great experience shopping with them!
I had a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 that was totaled and needed a new truck. I found the truck I wanted at Coastal Kia which is 300 miles from my house. I called and spoke with Steve Kramer, he was extremely helpful and very friendly. He and I hit it off due to the similarity of our names (LOL). They had a 2020 version of my old truck with low mileage. There was no haggling, they accepted my first offer immediately and the truck was DELIVERED to my house in 3 days! The truck was exactly how it was described to me, and super clean. The customer service that Steve and his team provided was exceptional! I highly recommend this dealership no matter where you live. I will definitely buy from them again. Thanks Steve and the whole Coastal Kia team for getting me into my new truck!!
Jason Stone was a great help and went beyond what most sales representatives would do. He made sure what I wanted and needed was met and better. I would definitely work with Jason on any future purchases and truly appreciated his time and getting me into a vehicle and payment that I can afford. I do recommend anyone looking for a new or used vehicle that you stop in and ask for Jason Stone. I went in with not knowing the full possibility until I talked to Jason and got better information on my options. A++
Jason and Mike were very helpful. I found a used car that fit my needs online and Jason contacted me right away. We made a deal over the phone and my family and I came up from South Carolina to pick up the vehicle. Jason and Mike made it easy and as quick as they could, knowing that we had a 3.5hr drive back home. Very easy to make a deal with. The good news is the car made the 3.5hr drive without a glitch, so Im happy about that!Thanks Jason and Mike for your help today.
Great sales, service and staff at Coastal Kia today I bought a 2022 Kia Sportage Im so excited. Jason Stone is my salesperson and he answered all my questions, explained everything about my new car and made my experience great . Chris Cooper with the service department was friendly and helpful. Go to Coastal Kia to buy your next car you wont be disappointed..... Owner Pat Koballa stopped to thank me and say Congratulations. Great customer service I will tell all my friends and family.
Jason was very professional and had amazing customer service. He helped to make me feel confident with my purchase and provided me with multiple solutions to take away my worries. I did not plan on buying a car today, if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have come home with a brand new vehicle! He is the best!! Thank you Jason and the rest of the Coastal Kia Dealership!
The service department at this location is horrible. They never have parts needed. They say they’ll call you and never do. I’ve had multiple issues and the same thing happens every time. Called corporate twice to jo avail. They never called me back either. We owe 3 Kias. Love the cars but hate the poor service. Will sell my stinger and go with Ford as soon as prices improve.
Just bought a car from Coastal Kia and had a great experience. Jason was awesome to work with. Seamless and faster than any other experience we have had buying cars!
I purchased a Sportage a couple of months ago and it was a great buying experience! Skylar was awesome from the start with no pressure what so ever! I love my new 2022 and would not trade it for anything! Way to go Coastal Kia you have an incredible staff...Keep up the good work ...Make sure and ask for Skylar!
Steve was awesome. We got a new 2022 kia carnival. He helped us find the right vehicle and helped us get to a payment we were comfortable with. Never pressured us once. Very polite and professional. Will definitely come back.
My husband and I would like to appreciate coastal kia for making our purchase experience amazing in getting us into this gorgeous 2021 kia sorento we would also want to appreciate our sales associate Steve for helping us make this purchase we love our new vehicle we will definitely be coming back to make future purchases.
Great experience!! Ever took great care of us and helped my mom to get a 2022 Telluride! If you need or want a new car head over and see Ever at Coastal Kia. You won’t be disappointed. He went above and beyond to make us happy!
I had a WONDERFUL experience at Coastal Kia. Jason was an amazing person to work with. He patiently walked me through every step of the exciting process of buying a car. He answered all questions I had and made sure I had a solid understanding of everything before moving forward.I highly recommend visiting Coastal Kia if you’re in the market for buying a car.Thank you so much! I can’t wait to whip around in my new Forte.
Jason was great - and finance department was a pleasure to work with. How often do you hear that?? They made sure I was comfortable with my payments and went above and beyond to get me close to where I needed to be.
As stressful and anxiety filled as buying a new car is, Jason Stone went above and beyond in making the process as easy as possible. He worked nonstop to get me the vehicle I wanted and thoroughly explained every step of the way and document. 10/10 recommend this dealership and salesman.
Steve was amazing at helping us get our new 2022 Carnival. He was super knowledgeable and helpful in answering our questions and it was an overall great experience. GQ in the finance department was great as well. It was the best experience we’ve had purchasing a new car.
Best first buy experience Ive had. And love my brand new vehicle also
Quick and easy couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Michael Mascavge, Financial Director, gave me sound advice about MY financial status. Extremely helpfully and knowledgeable. I walked out of the Kia dealership very satisfied and more understanding of my situation.Thanks Mike
Best experience I have ever had buying a car. The customer service was outstanding. My salesman Steve was top notch. I walked out of Coastal Kia and said to myself “ I will never go to another dealer ever”I have waited a long time to purchase a new car and you all made it that much better. Thank you Coastal Kia!
Absolutely great team in every department!! Very nice amenities and even pet friendly. Our sales associate Steve was fantastic in working with us as was all of our encounters with everyone there. I highly recommend that if youre considering a KIA, *this* is where you need to buy from! Best car buying experience yet! Well be back!
I moved to the area in March of this year and was hoping to find a car dealership who could help me with purchasing a new car.I feel very blessed that I called Coastal Kia and had a conversation with Tyler D. in the finance department. I was unsure if I would qualify for financing and he asked me to come in the next day and we could talk about options. I am very glad that I made the trip to Wilmington. Tyler moved mountains to get me the financing I needed with a payment I could afford. (Which was not easy given my lack of credit) He was very patient, understanding and kind.As he worked on the financing, he set me up with Jason S. in sales to view different Kias. Jason listened to what I was looking for in a car and was able to find the perfect car for me within my price range. Jason was also very kind and understanding and listened to the type of vehicle I needed.I feel very fortunate to have worked with such patient and kind gentlemen and am very happy with my 2022 Kia Sportage. I did not think that I would be able to purchase a brand new Kia, but with the kindness of Tyler, Jason and the Coastal Kia staff it was possible!Thank you!
I wanted to jump in on the big bonanza deals being made for trading in a used car and what a deal I was made - This time buying a new car at Coastal was a beautiful experience as Steve our Sales man was courteous and professional and was willing to work with us. Steve also was very respectful to my 91 year old ( sharp as a tack) father who I’d never not bring with me to purchase a new car ... and the rest is history, I drove away with my new Kia Soul which I love- Now the icing on the cake will be to see how the service afterwards is. Steve already promised me a detailed cleaning on my new car as it was the showroom car that I drove away with ..This experience with Steve will have me coming back for years to come . Thank you Coastal Kia !
They were excellent in helping me buy a car after struggling at other dealerships to find oneAsk for Kelvin Swinson. He was phenomenal.
Best experience by far purchasing a vehicle. Brandon and his associates were extremely knowledgeable and very professional! Definitely recommend Coastal Kia to anyone needing a new or used vehicle!
Great experience! Everyone from Pat (the owner) to the sales floor manager to the finance department was so professional and easy to work with. Pat ended up letting us buy the Telluride he and his wife had been driving!
After months of debating about a car, I found what I love at Kia. Kelvin patiently listened to my requests and took me through the process. I felt respected. You now have a new customer for years to come!!
Costal Kia is a great place to get your new car. Our Salesman Jarred was great and really made our experience one to remember. The Coastal Kia team gave us an amazing deal and we will definitely be back for another car. Very nice and helpful people that want to put you in a new car as much as you want to be in a new car. Thank you again! We love our Stinger
Jason Dodd was so helpful and able to get us the car we wanted for the price that we needed. The team was so nice and helpful. I would recommend Coastal Kia if you are looking to buy.
Steve Kramer was my car specialist helper and was great. I told him what I could afford and was so helpful. No pressure sales at all. He understood and told me he didnt want to waste my time. I was blown away by the entire process and highly recommend him if youre looking into buying a car.
I have purchased 6 cars thus far my life, but this was my first New car buying experience. It was a treat. I would like to thank Steve Kramer for the wonderful experience. He was able to work with me for my trade in and was helpful in explaining the features and options available to me for both the vehicle and payment options. He was also very helpful/informative in the process of working with the DMV for my tag and titles, specifically in working with the trade in. He was also knowledgeable about helping me work with my insurance company. After the sale he was very helpful in setting up the car even helping me connect my phone to it and walk me through the features. The dealership and staff were nice and seemed genuinely friendly. While it was clear the dealership was focused on sales, I didnt feel like a fish in a shark tank. I would refer friends/family for future car buying.
Jan Ramos really helped with my purchase and explained everything to me in detail to make sure I understood every step. It was an amazing stress free experience and I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle!!!
Brandon and GQ are wonderful individuals. They were able to help us with everything we needed, even under extenuating circumstances, while treating us as people who needed their help rather than just another sale. Absolutely recommend working with them and Coastal Kia as a whole.
Working with Coastal Kia was a smooth and easy process. Jason Dodd was great. He was responsive, professional and knowledgeable.
My experience at Wilmington Kia was a wonderful experience. Skylar was my Salesperson, and he was so helpful & friendly and made my car buying experience a great one.
Jason Dodd provided excellent service and was so knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend seeing him for your car needs!
Let me start off by saying Bill and Jason are awesome!!!!! I don’t usually go to dealerships just because of bad past experiences but these guys honestly do their best to help you out highly recommend this place for your vehicle needs A++
I had a very wonderful experience. Mr. Jonathan W. helped me out! He was amazing at helping me throughout my process.
I had a wonderful experience with Coastal Kia. I was recommended by my sister who just purchased a new car and I couldnt be more pleased. Jason G was wonderful and helped me get exactly what I was looking for in a vehicle. He explained all the new car features in detail. I would 100% recommend visiting Coastal Kia.
Nice place and experience. Salesman Guber Quezada helped me and was friendly and knowledgeable.
By far this was the best car buying experience I have ever had. Jason Dodd was my sales rep and was able to get my new lease with everything we wanted in the deal. The whole sales process was started and finished online. I never had to make a trip to the dealership and they delivered the car to me, over an hour away. Coastal KIA we ent above and beyond and Jason made the whole process fast and on my schedule. Will certainly consider my next car needs with Jason.
Fantastic experience I bought a number of cars there Steve and Skyler were fantastic went the extra step to make the deal will buy again in the future
My experience with Coastal Kia-Wilmington and my Product Specialist Steve Kramer was exceptional! I have purchased several vehicles over my life span and I had to go 200+ miles(I live in northern NC) away from home get what I call the ULTIMATE car buying experience. The Operations Manager, Peggy Roberts made me feel right at home and Mike Mascavage, Finance Director wrapped up my experience with the same exceptional service that I started out with.Thanks again everyone!
See Jason Dodd when you want to buy a vehicle. Excellent customer service, patient yet consistent and an overall pleasure to have worked with. I text him when we started looking for a Telluride and he would check in every so often to update me on when they would have one coming in that fit our needs. He reached out on July 31st and we went that evening to see and test drive the exact model we wanted and the rest is history. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and it shows! He has since followed up to see if I had questions and answered any I had. I will always recommend him;)
Took my mother up to test drive a handful of vehicles at Coastal Kia and we could not be happier with the experience. Brandon, our sales rep, was awesome. He was knowledgeable, friendly, easy to talk to, and best of all he applied zero pressure. Our interactions with him was a major factor in making the final purchase on our second visit.We did stop at a few other dealerships in town, but those other establishments made us feel as like we were chum in the water. The other dealerships in Wilmington, NC would do well to mimic Coastal Kias approach.Let me close with this statement. If I were going to buy a vehicle tomorrow, my first stop would be the Coastal Kias website to view their inventory and my first call for help would be to Brandon Wright to see if he had any recommendations.
We purchased our new 2021 Kia Soul yesterday from Coastal Kia. They were awesome ! The process was made easy by the whole staff. They were thorough and professional. Our salesman Jarred Chandler was great. We love our new Kia and we will reccomend Coastal Kia to anyone ! Thanks.
Went into Kia yesterday to lease a new K5 or Sportage. At first everyone inside seemed very pleasant and nice to work with, the manager opened the door for us and welcomed us to the sales rep Kelvin. Once we met him it went completely downhill. The sales rep was extremely rude and was trying to run our credit without even talking about logistics of the vehicle or a viewing a vehicle. Then on the test drive the salesmen was assigning slang terms to select individuals. I informed the sales manager later on and he pretty much pushed it to the side. Then wants us to come back in and work with same rep. Everyone else in there seemed to be very pleasant and better to work with. Avoid this sales rep if possible and if you cant be prepared to what he put us through.
Steve Kramer did and awesome job helping me find the forte I wanted and he always double checked his numbers as others don’t. The dealer is clean also beautiful. Lastly the staff was very helpful and very polite, thank you agin to Steve for the help, love my car 😊
Just purchased my 2nd Kia. This place is the best. The customer service is beyond compare. Brandon W. was my sales representative. Honest, no BS and thorough. Highly recommend!!!!
This was our first time buying from Coastal Kia, but it will not be our last. Our salesperson, Jarred, was very knowledgeable and laid back. He showed us what we wanted to look at and didnt pressure us or push us. We had an excellent experience with the whole staff. We are loving our new Carnival!
I traded in my Hyundai Sonata 2013 with Kia Sorento .The staffs and atmosphere in the dealership are welcoming, no pressure and helpful. Jason Dodd was very informative, trustworthy and help me to find what I need in the new car. Finance manager, Tyler, are also made the purchasing process easy.
We are thrilled with our new Kia Rio. Our product specialist Jason Dodd was friendly, helpful and got us in a brand new car in under two hours. We highly recommend this dealership if you are looking for a quality car and friendly (non-pushy) service.
My husband and I bought a Kia from the BEST sales person ever. His name is Sage Fletcher. Sage was very professional, and respectful. Every one at Coastal Kia wears a mask, no need to fear. Honestly, this was the best experience in buying a car. Sage really made spending money fun! Steve and Chris Jones
I would like to say Connor was very nice and pleasant to work with. He was very respectful and personable. He answered all my questions. I really appreciate Steve for working hard to get me in the car. It really means a lot to me thank you guys.
Jan was very helpful. Showed to know exactly what he was talking about and cared about the customer. Reccomend him for all your car buying needs.
Brandon Wright was my salesman and he was fantastic from my first contact with him via email. His responses were informative and timely. I ended up purchasing a vehicle from Brandon after he explained buying used or new and financing options in a very understandable and thorough manner. Im extremely pleased with my purchase! Thank you, Brandon!
Chris and kelvin did a amazing job and work hard to help us find our new car . Thank you so much for your patience and help . If you are looking for a new car Chris and Kelvin from Kia in Wilmington are amazing . Thank you the Day family
Easy, friendly and trustworthy. Steve Kramer was a wonderful, helpful salesman! Made a normally stressful situation not stressful - would recommend and would go to again
It was a great pleasure working with John Wallace on our journey to find the car we wanted. Our experience was fantastic from beginning to end. John was very laid back, not too pushy and understood what we wanted as a customer. I would highly recommend working with him if you’re looking for someone on your side! Also, I would like to thank Tyler as well for helping us get our paper work straightened out with his great customer service as well. Thanks guys!!
Alex, Uber, GQ, and all the guys at Coastal Kia were very helpful and honest. I never felt pressured or manipulated. They were forthright and kind. They made buying my new car an awesome experience and I love my new Kia. I wasnt even considering a Kia but they allowed me to ask questions and test drive the car without pressuring me to buy. Learning about the warranties and driving it and learning about all the options that come standard made me fall in love with the car and trust Coastal Kia. I highly recommend Coastal Kia! Ask for Alex.
Was there today. Looked at telluride they wanted almost 9000 dollars over list price. They are price gougers. Public beware . We promptly left.
Steve Kramer was fantastic and provided not only the best service, but the absolute best price in the area. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. I am thrilled to try out my new K5. If youre thinking Kia in the coastal NC area, definitely give Steve a call at Coastal Kia. You wont be disappointed. Your experience is their priority, and youll be thrilled.
Had an amazing experience with Coastal Kia today. Went in just to see my options and Steve Kramer helped me leave with a brand new car all in the same day. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a no pressure atmosphere and all around friendly service. Thanks Coastal Kia!
Jason Stone was a fantastic salesman and got me in a new car after 10 years of owning mine! He was very personable and gave me the best deals. Definitely would recommend him for your car buying needs!
Wish we had Coastal Kia here in Greenville, NC. We traveled two hours to get there. Steve Kramer had the Car ready for us with our name on the windshield. Couldnt ask for better service from Steve. Every employee we passed greeted us with eye smiles (all were wearing masks) and a hearty hello. A pleasure all around.
I had an amazing buying experience here. Steve did a great job and he was able to get me the car of my dreams! I am so happy with my Seltos!!!!! I would definitely recommend Coastal Kia and Steve!!! I don’t want to forget about the financial guy he was great too! My last car buying experience was nothing compared to this one!!!!
I was recently in an automobile accident, I was in a Kia Sorento, the impact was so intense that my back window imploded inside my vehicle! My autistic grandson was in the back where most of the impact happened. My Kia protected my grandson from being cut by the flying glass! I wont own anything but a Kia, my vehicle was totaled and we are okay. The purpose of my visit today was to shop for a new/used Kia, was not expecting to purchase one, but today is a great day! Thank you Jason for a great experience here in your store and helping me be able to finance it as well.
Working in the car industry for 14 years Ive seen alot of good and ugly with dealerships. Today was great! My salesman SKYLAR was absolutely wonderful. He asked every question and answered every questioned I had for him. He was honest in everything he did from beginning to end. I was going to trade a car in, but decided to hang on to it til the end of summer.....which left me of how am I going to drive 2 cars home. SKYLAR and another salesman took time out of their day to stop what they were doing and brought my car (the one I was going to trade) back to my home. Thank you again, it meant the world to me!
My recent purchase of the KIA Telluride went great. Alex Houchin and the entire sales team were friendly, professional and informed. My wife and I are enjoying our new Telluride.
Let me start off by saying Coastal Kia in Wilmington work hard for their good reviews. They genuinely care about your experience and ensuring customers were taken care of. We had a rocky start, Sebastian didnt know a thing about the vehicle we were looking at and was very curt and short with us. We had arrived knowing we wanted to leave in a new car, so it was less than ideal. That said, Steve started talking to us and knew all the ins and outs, the bells and whistles, you name it. I felt so assured that my own research had checked out and he was giving us insight that online couldnt. We DID leave with the vehicle we wanted, and Id seriously recommend Steve to anyone. Give that guy a raise.
I visited Coastal Kia today to shop for a car with a friend. The salesman we used was Steve Kramer. He was delightful to work with and spent much time helping us to find the perfect car. He returned phone calls promptly and was very professional and personable. I would give Steve 5 Stars!
Loved the service! John and Steve helped me get in my very first vehicle. I am ecstatic truly the best customer service and they totally understood what I wanted. Happy customer 😀
Coastal Kia is a 5 star dealership through and through. They have some of the best sales staff, management and service department around. Great experience I will definitely be back!
Bad place to go…. Sebastian kept telling the other sales people that he was the best and he made more money…. It’s all about the money to him. Sebastian wasn’t even my sales rep and I heard him in the back talk rudely about the customers and other salesmen. I will not be referring anyone to them
The service was superb! Brandon was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He informed me of my options and was honest throughout the entire process. I would not have been able to complete my purchase without his help and support. I have had a Kia before and will not buy anything else! Highly recommend Kia and Brandon for all of his help!
Just bought our fourth Kia from Coastal Kia. This time it’ a great looking 2021 Wolf Gray K5 GT-Line. The buying experience was a pleasure, as always – thanks Steve Kramer! No pressure, courteous, helpful and accommodating, as are all of the employees of Coastal. The service department is excellent for after purchase as well. Highly recommend Kia vehicles and this dealership.
I came in with a very specific goal, and Alex and Michael achieved it... With a warranty to boot. The proverbial bag o chips I have heard tale of!
Found what I thought was a good deal from Coastal Kia on a 2016 Sportage turns out they purposefully put the wrong price online just to get people in the door and then tell you about the $4000 upcharge when youre ready to purchase the car. Shady business. Take your money elsewhere.
I couldn’t have handpicked a better person to work with today. I went in with a toddler and a teenager and we had the most pleasant and easy experience 🤩 they went above and beyond my expectations!! Loving my new *Very Affordable *2021 Kia Forte (paying lower than a used car) Thankfully I walked into Kia today and met Jared Chandler
I’m in my sixties and have bought many cars over the years. The buying experience at Coastal Kia was by far the best one yet. Great, sincerely friendly staff. Our salesperson, Jason Dodd, was very knowledgeable and professional. Will buy all our cars there from now on.
Aweson person very nice enjoy every moment
COASTAL KIA IS AMAZING!! I was able to take my time with the whole process which took months to do but JASON STONE was there to help me each step of the way. During my time with him in dealership he was GREAT. He showed and went over my options with me for the car. Upon walking into the dealership I had many doubts and fears for myself but Jason and his team of WONDERFUL people were able to help me overcome them. After a long thoughtful process of MONTHS of phone calls and messages ( Which was appreciated, Just shows how well Jason does his job to be the best salesman) I spent about 3 hours total in the dealership( I was even late to my appointment) and I made my CHOICE. I rang that bell with the confidence that I have a great team of individuals behind me who are here to help ME! THANKS to Jason Stone & Uber Hernandez.... I said GOODBYE to my 2011 Chevy HHR with almost 200,000 Miles on it and left the dealership with a 2022 Kia Soul!! Which had just about 20 miles on it!!!COASTAL KIA IS GREAT!! THANK YOU TO ALL THE HARD WORKING EMPOLYEES WHO HELP DAILY!!
My husband and I are typically the ‘private party’ type buyers because we like to avoid the car lot run around and pressure you feel from the big wig salesmen, but I can say dealing with Jason Dodd at Costal Kia was the completely opposite experience!! Thanks for working hard to get our deal just right and helping me roll out in a new car!!
Jason Girolami was Fantastic! We stopped in on a whim and within an hour we walked out with a brand new Kia Carnival! I couldn’t be more pleased especially since I had my 4 year old child with me. Service was exceptional. This is my first time purchasing a Kia and the easiest process I’ve been thru. Pricing of vehicles are still extremely reasonable and they offered very fair value for my trade. I enjoyed doing business at Coastal Kia!
Monday August 23rd was my day to find a new car. I went shopping in Wilmington NC and visited three dealers on my list . The first two proved not to be what I wanted . Listening to friends and family, I went to test drive a Kia Telluride. I was greeted by Kelvin Swinston. I told him that I was looking for a Telluride. He showed me one of three he had on the lot. Brand new 2022s. Test drove it on the Interstate and local roads . This car was IT!! The buying process was so smooth and easy. No added pressure to buy or add additional dealer service options. Kelvin was very diligent and helpful to go over all the features and said after I was home with the car if I wanted to come back for a tutorial on anything that I needed help with I was welcomed. Needless to say this car, this sales professional and this dealership is great! The next day when I went to pick up the car and the other two cars were sold. Maybe I was lucky that I walked into this dealership when I did because I was told by many that the Telluride is the # 1 SUV today and very hard to obtain .Thank you Costal Kia
Our experience was wonderful, thanks to our salesman Jason Dodd! We told him what we needed and he went above and beyond for us. We appreciated his service and knowledge. He definitely deserves 5 stars! We will recommend him to all our friends and family!
This review would’ve been way different and far worse back in April when I purchased my car. I’ve waited until now on purpose, because I needed to see how much Coastal Kia cares about their customers.The salesman who sold me my second-hand car was lying, over exaggerating and was completely uncaring. He was all about selling the car and getting his commission. Which is funny because I had already let him know that I’ve seen the car online, I wanted it and I’ll definitely walk out owning it. Why lie? Why willfully misrepresent it? I was going to buy it anyways.I give 4 out of 5 stars, because EVERYONE else at Coastal Kia was HELPFUL, UNDERSTANDING, CARING and LISTENING. My car was presented and sold to me as “it has no problems, we’ve performed a 164-point inspection and everything checks out fine”. Which was a lie, either no one did an inspection or they did but salesman didn’t care to inform me or inform himself of the issues the car had. All issues my car had (that I discovered in the days after sale), are listed in the checklist for the 164-point inspection (the checklist btw is uploaded on their website). All is well now, everything got fixed (as far as I know). Coastal Kia does care about their customers, I might be shopping at Coastal Kia in the future, but I’ll be extremely cautious to NOT work with same salesman and DEFINITELY not trust any salesman “promising” me a car in good shape, anyone who claims that, is probably lying to you and only cares about their commission.Thank you, Ms. Roberts, Mr. Weisman, Mr. Kelly and everyone at the Service department.
Great experience buying a car from coastal kia. Steve Kramer was great and I highly recommend him, very knowledgeable and an all around nice guy to deal with. Now I know why they are number 1.
Jason at Coastal Kia is absolutely amazing. He got me picked me out a k5 and it was love at first sight. He was extremely nice and professional. This is my third Kia that I’ve brought here. Their customer service is out of this world. I would definitely recommend them to everyone, if you’re looking for a car make this your stop.
Steve was awesome, very patient and kind !! My second vehicle from Coastal and they did not disappoint!! Thank you !!
Steve Kramer was our salesperson and was terrific to deal with; we couldnt have had a better Kia representative. The dealership is fortunate to have such an efficient, friendly product specialist on board. As a result, we made a deal right on the spot!
We purchased our 2021 Kia Sorento from Coastal Kia today. We worked with Steve Kramer and it was definitely our best and easiest car buying experience ever!! Service was top notch and every one took their time explaining all the car’s different features. Would highly recommend and will go to Coastal Kia first for any of our auto needs.
Brandon was amazing!!! Fast efficient and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend working with him!
