Mark Brown in sales is extremely pushy and utilizes very high pressure sales tactics. He is friendly enough from the start, but quickly turns to high pressure tactics if he believes you may be on the fence. More

The first vehicle I looked at, had an addendum sticker for $4000 over MSRP, then I noticed every vehicle on the lot had the same sticker. I could understand if the dealership had enhanced the vehicle, but More

Lokey Kia is the ONLY Kia dealer in the Tampa Bay area to give FREE OIL CHANGES for the LIFE of ownership of ANY vehicle purchased from us. And the MPG is posted right on the window, so I'm not sure how Lokey Kia promised anything but what was posted on the window sticker from Kia. Mr. Lokey just recieved the President Cub Award for being one of the top Kia dealers in the Country. Review on Google, Yahoo also reflect what customers think of Lokey Kia. Please contact Lokey Kia if you want to cancel any service contract you purchased.

Its very difficult trying to find a bank to finance someone that has bad credit. What we do is try to find a bank to say YES and for how much. Once we know how much money they will lend someone, then we can find a vehicle to fit into that window. Vehicles have a "Book Value" on how much a bank will lend. It has to make sense to the bank, to the dealership that is selling the vehicle and to the customer. The Internet price is not a lie. Its the price we will sell a vehicle for. Its really that simple. We are not able to run someone's credit without that person filling out a credit application. I'm sorry the bank would help in this situration. Please check out our review on Yahoo and Google.. Others seem to agree with do a great job. We are not perfect, but I don't think this review represents Lokey Kia.
