Shawn Hamze took a phone call from Moody, TX. It was my mother who was calling to see what promotions they had on the Forte. He told her he could make her a deal. We went to the dealership on Monday and mother who was calling to see what promotions they had on the Forte. He told her he could make her a deal. We went to the dealership on Monday and started negotiations. Shawn usually gets off work at 6pm but he kept at it as he tried to meet our need of a low price. It was about 6:30 when we left with us at a stalemate. Shawn stated that he was going to work for us and we would close the deal the next day. He called Tuesday morning to remind us to return; that he had a deal. My mother and I returned that night and Shawn once again stayed past 6pm. He told us the final purchase price plus the payments. It was an amount that we could work with and we closed the deal. I can honestly say that Shawn Hamze is deserving of many sales award and accolades. If he is still at South Point Kia when I need my next car, I will definitely ask for him. Thank you Shawn More
My husband is in the army here at ft hood, and we had been searching for a slightly used/ new affordable car with the money we saved from his past deployment. We test drove a 2013 Sorento in our area and been searching for a slightly used/ new affordable car with the money we saved from his past deployment. We test drove a 2013 Sorento in our area and fell in love, but it was way over priced and had 14,000 miles already on it. I contacted Shawn late on a sunday night and he got back to me monday morning! I told him our situation, what we found already and that we wanted to find a better deal. He looked up the car that the dealer around here was trying to sell us and assured us that he'd get us a better deal. He kept in contact with me that whole day and updated me with what he had in stock and patiently waited for our response as to whether we wanted to move forward or not. My husband wound up getting off of work late and by the time we got to the dealership it was closing in 1 hour. Shawn waited there for us and made sure we got what we wanted, and worked an hour past closing time. Our monthly payments are a few dollars more than what we were expecting, but we got a BRAND NEW Sorento with 0 miles on it with a great interest rate! I couldn't be happier with our new car! More
This is our 3rd Kia from South Point and our second car with Enrique. I have to say that we were in a pinch we bought a 2012 Kia Sorento then bought an airstream trailer that the 4 cyl would not pull. I with Enrique. I have to say that we were in a pinch we bought a 2012 Kia Sorento then bought an airstream trailer that the 4 cyl would not pull. I called Enrique and within 24 hours we had our brand new 2013 Kia Sorento with no problems. In fact we tried to get a lower rate through USAA and they were able to finance it at a lower rate. Enrique goes the extra mile to make sure that I understood all the new features of the car. I had problems figuring out the radio and he told me to stop by. He went out of his way to make sure that I understood. I would love to give him 100% for always being there for us. More

Everyone I worked with came off as really nice, but as soon as I stepped into financing, everything changed. Knowing this was my first time trying to purchase a car and first time with the financing depar soon as I stepped into financing, everything changed. Knowing this was my first time trying to purchase a car and first time with the financing department at a dealership, they tried to tell me that the best they could do on my APR was well over 4% when I qualified for 0% at Hyundai (which owns Kia and the dealership was owned by the same dealer). Also, Kia was running a special if you financed through them at 2.9% anyway. When I told them the numbers didn't look right, they played with the price on the vehicle, the APR percent, and loan term trying to convince me they could "fight to reduce my APR," that a 63 month loan term existed, and that they could get my monthly payments down to a number that was "within my budget." It's a shame they tried to take advantage of me and were so dishonest. I would not recommend going to this location for a Kia. More
Dec. 9,2012 This was our first visit to a Kia dealership and we were impressed! I went to look at cars for my mother and she had initially talked with Shawn over the phone inquiring about a Kia Soul. Thou and we were impressed! I went to look at cars for my mother and she had initially talked with Shawn over the phone inquiring about a Kia Soul. Though we had looked into different Kia dealerships, we decided on South Point Kia because they had the biggest inventory on the Soul's in which we were interested in. Shawn talked with us about what we were looking for and then brought the car up to the front door, opened it up and explained everything about this car to us. Once we decided upon the car we wanted, all the paperwork went really smoothly. I hope to maybe one day in the future to do more business with this dealership. Very impressed... More

Shawn made the new car shopping experience pleasant. He kept us informed when he had a Soul + or ! in that we might be interested in. This process took longer than normal with the way KIA packages Souls. S kept us informed when he had a Soul + or ! in that we might be interested in. This process took longer than normal with the way KIA packages Souls. Shawn also was not pushy or trying to sell us something we did not want. When we said no, not today, he listened, knowing that, eventually, he would sell us the Soul that was right for us. More
