The sales department at this dealership was pretty nice I must say. I had read some bad reviews about their service department, but that remains to be seen as I have just got the car. I will update my review must say. I had read some bad reviews about their service department, but that remains to be seen as I have just got the car. I will update my review after the first service appointment. Victor and Todd both gave us a very professional service. The most refreshing thing was the un-necessary "pushing" attitude of the general car salesman. Victor especially had answers to all of our questions and was never too pushy. One thing I was a little disappointed about was the lack of information provided to me about the 2012 optima lx coming without a spare tire. I have not deducted a star for that because in part I hold myself liable too, for not researching the vehicle before hand, none the less it is not a very common thing, at least to my knowledge and a good salesperson should have brought our attention to it. Maybe I would have made up my mind to buy a spare myself. On the whole they did a good job. More

Vic made buying a new car less stressful than buying shoes at Nordstoms. He was very knowledgible and honest. He was extremely helpful with my decision to buy a Kia Optima. Hybrid. The car is everythi shoes at Nordstoms. He was very knowledgible and honest. He was extremely helpful with my decision to buy a Kia Optima. Hybrid. The car is everything he promised it would be and more. Vic went over the purchase with great detail and gave me a great deal. Todd was also very easy to deal with. He was not your usual hardsell financial man. The transaction was smooth and I got a great trade-in for my car. I picked up my car on Friday night and Vic went over every option in great detail with the patience of a saint. I have not had a new car in 12 years and controls have changed a little since then. Vic and Todd are true gentlemen and I would not hesitate recommending them to my friends and family. Mr. Karp is very lucky to have two such dedicated employees. They are an asset to your already wonderful dealership More

This was my first experience of purchasing a new car. With my good friend Chris, I went the rounds of dealerships to look at, price, and, pardon me, Butt check the seating of many of the new vehicles ava With my good friend Chris, I went the rounds of dealerships to look at, price, and, pardon me, Butt check the seating of many of the new vehicles available. I suffer from back pain, so I was looking at crossover type s that would allow me to be seated in a more upright position. At many places we were followed closely by salesmen who seemed to be reciting their lessons of memorized trivia as fast as possible in case I might be won over by resale value or crash test results. when we were rather clear that I really didn't care about that, and was checking for comfort at that time. One gentleman kept pushing the keys at me and insisting that I start it. I said , "I hope I can assume that it starts." At Karp Kia, my friend Chris told me that he Knew Vic from his own search for a car. When Vic saw us he came over and greeted Chris and met me as the customer. We told him we were looking around, and he left us alone to do so. Other salesmen came towards us, asking if we needed help and when told no, left us alone. So I got to talk to my friend as we looked at the many models available. I liked the Sportage most and especially the silver and black one. I liked that I noticed the options package was standard with all the newest technology included. When we came back the next day to test drive some of the models, Vic was very friendly and he answered my questions and offered the knowledge that mattered to me instead of making a speech. Now we came to the making a deal part. I cracked my knuckles and put on my game face. However, Vic just presented me with a great deal that fit my stringent budget. And get this ... he let me leave to think it over! Well it wasn't too hard to decide, with the Kia, I got a great deal on the Sportage , and I wouldn't have to break the budget or worse take a stripped down model that wouldn't really seem like a new car at all. So I have to say that my experience with Vic at Karp Kia was excellent on all levels and I love my new car. More
