Was in the market for a New Kia my friend who back in August purchased a New Kia gave me Jakes name and number, gave him a call the next day I let him know what i was looking for, what I wanted pay an August purchased a New Kia gave me Jakes name and number, gave him a call the next day I let him know what i was looking for, what I wanted pay and that I had no patience for games. He let me know he wouldnt waste my time and he would call me back very soon. My buddy assured me he was good and that he was referred to Jake by his Lieutenant commander whom also purchased a new Kia from jake. Next day around lunch Jake called explained that the vehicle i wanted was there. I made it in that evening to have a good look at the car and go over the details of the loan. Jake explained the numbers in his office we traded a few of the old Military stories you would with a fellow soldier. No hitches or surprises which is important, above all the doubt and fear of buying a new car we all have is removed. In the end I came within $17 of my target payment and that was with the120,000 mile warranty extension. As we were finishing up jake left to charge the initial payment and bring the receipt. While we waited my wife pointed out the picture frame with a few of his military photos, there it was with the tags draped over it validation to the stories the medals and ribbons the lives saved smiling all in one picture frame while he is pinned. A Cavalry Scout Airborne to boot grandson of one of the most decorated US Army Soldiers. I've since referred 2 customers whom love there Kia Soul and Kia Forte. Great service we give Kirby kia and of course Jake a 10. More

Kirby Kia Service Team - you never cease to amaze me. If ever I needed a reminder as to why I hold all of you in such high regard, my experience today made it crystal clear. I had an unfortunate and frig ever I needed a reminder as to why I hold all of you in such high regard, my experience today made it crystal clear. I had an unfortunate and frightening overheating incident earlier this afternoon, which left me on the side of the road with a car that wouldn't start and a plume of smoke emanating from my engine compartment. I've had a few years of experience with Dave Howard, so as soon as the tow truck arrived at Kirby Kia, he went out to inspect my vehicle himself and within moments, had a diagnosis for me. Apparently, my radiator hose had come off and coolant had sprayed all over my engine components. A few minutes later, Dave Rudolph - the service manager - arrived and pleasant greetings were exchanged, as I'd spoken with him at length a few visits ago. After hearing of my car trouble, he was genuinely concerned and sought to have a technician get to work on my vehicle immediately. At face value, none of this sounds all that impressive. But, what you cannot see in these words is the COMPASSION and EMPATHY with which I was treated today. It's difficult to explain, but in everything that these gentlemen did and said this afternoon, it was made clear that their main concern was my safety and satisfaction...not my bankbook. I was frightened and worried sick when I arrived at Kirby's Service Center, because ANYTIME you see smoke coming from your engine, fear naturally sets in - but I left there feeling better than when I came, and that is the sign of truly excellent customer service. Dave Rudolph and Dave Howard are extraordinary businessmen, but are even greater human beings. It takes a special kind of grace and empathy to do the job that they do, because a person's vehicle is among the most important assets they have and connects us to our jobs and our travels, but in times of distress and uncertainty - much like I experienced today - it means the world to know that my vehicle, and my concerns, are in capable and caring hands. To anyone looking for quality automobile service and a caring staff of individuals, I gladly recommend Kirby Kia Service Center. Most will read this review and think: "Wow, this is a bit over the top." But considering how eager we are to rant and rave and raise our voices in protest anytime we are dissatisfied with something, I feel it is of equal importance to exercise that same energy and effort in our gratitude. Far too often, we complain about lousy and piss-poor customer service, and then completely neglect showing any sort of gratitude for those rare and special few who go above and beyond for our sake. But I believe that appreciation encourages the heart and lifts the spirit, and for so many service employees who work day after day without ever hearing a single word of acknowledgement, it means the world. It lets them know that the work that they do truly matters. To Dave & Dave - I thank you, and I am truly grateful for you both. I am proud and privileged to say that the two of you are what makes Kirby Kia's Service Center truly great. Keep up the good work and you can expect my continued patronage for years to come!! More
