Outstanding 5-Star Sales Management and Sales Team Let's start with the fact that I am a 100% service-connected Disabled vet (USMC) now living off an unaccustomed fixed income. I cannot believe the Let's start with the fact that I am a 100% service-connected Disabled vet (USMC) now living off an unaccustomed fixed income. I cannot believe the assistance the Chrysler/Kia team at Manahawkin, NJ provided my wife and me.They were incredibly sensitive to our situation. It was more than just a sale.I found myself in a bind due to hospitalization wth only days to turn in my End-of-Lease gas-guzzling Chrysler 300C Hemi leased from Atlantic Chrysler in Egg Harbor, NJ.. Ally Bank was of absolutely no help even though we have a PERFECT payment history over the past 10 years on three (3) Ally loans and one GMAC loan. (I will never again deal with ALLY). My bank failed us as well despite substantial deposit and perfect credit card history. They wanted to charge us 10% interest on a Lease Buyout. The truth of the matter is I signed onto a very bad lease with Atlantic Chrysler. As both the Manahawkin Chrysler GM and Manahawkin KIA GM (under the same ownership) stated: "it is probably the worst lease deal we've ever seen." Now to the outstanding assistance of the GM at Manahawkin Chrysler. He recommended, given our circumstances, to look at a KIA Cadenza. We did and test drove it. It was out of our price range. The KIA salesman the GM called in to assist us (Nick Van Zile) recommended a KIA Optima. It was fully loaded and drove like a dream (this is from a person who owned 2 Lincoln Town Cars; 2 Cadillac Fleetwoods; and, the top-of-the line Chrysler). The price quoted was surprisingly modest. The lease arrangement (thanks to the Chrysler and KIA GMs and Eric the Financing Officer at KIA) was more than generous. We purchased the Optima that day without hesitation: this is after test driving the Lincoln MDZ; the Honda CR-V; the new Chrysler 300; and, other autos. My wife and I are indebted to the concern, yes concern, the Manahawkin Chrysler/KIA team provided. Having owned or leased more than 15 autos during our 50 years of marriage, we are now committed to be KIA Optima owners for life. Thank you Woody, Blaise, Eric and Nick.

As you enter the service department you are greeted by Bryan and Megan with a smile & "how can we help you today". It the only place I would bring my car for service. They are honest & up front about what is needed for your car. No up sales like other places I have dealt with in the past, just good ,no great service . Of course I have to go into the show room to visit & say hello to Dirk . I was in and out in less than an hour .I even got a few tips on some good eating establishments in the area from Bryan. Its like visiting family. Thanks guys for a wonderful experience. More

Jeff Smit and all the employees at Manahawkin Kia were great to do business with. They went above and beyond to try to find the exact car we wanted. We were never pressured, but made to feel comfortable and satisfied. All of the employees we dealt with were very pleasant and knowledgeable. After we chose the car we wanted, a deal was quickly made. Jeff and Manahawkin Kia did exactly what they said they would do. My new little red Kia Soul, “Jezebelle”, is sitting in my garage. Thank you Jeff and Manahawkin Kia. If you are in the market for a new or used car go see Jeff at Manahawkin Kia. I think you will be glad you did as we were. More

Manahawkin Kia a great place for maintenance and repairs! Every time I visit Manahawkin Kia I am impressed with their friendliness, professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness. I had made an appointme Every time I visit Manahawkin Kia I am impressed with their friendliness, professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness. I had made an appointment for service, and called to change it as we needed to take a trip to Northern New Jersey. Driving at 70 mph, I wanted the oil change and the tires rotated before I went, instead of when I got home. Megan was so kind, changed the appointment and fit me in to Saturdays schedule. When I got there on Sat. I told her I was due for the 50,000 mile service, but that I wanted to do that later, she looked up the cars history and she explained what needed to be done now, and what it would cost. They liked the way I cared for my car and I liked the respect with which they treated it! I like them, the work they do, and the way they treat my vehicle. I will be back again and again, when ever we need service, or if something happens. Thank you Manahawkin Kia. More

AWESOME SERVICE.. Jeff Smit is worth the trip!!!! JEFF SMIT JR. IS WORTH THE TRIP! People always complain about how buying a new car is such a hassle, the dealership lies to get you in the door then t JEFF SMIT JR. IS WORTH THE TRIP! People always complain about how buying a new car is such a hassle, the dealership lies to get you in the door then the salesman harasses you just to end up telling you that you're not approved or tries to give you something that you don't want.. BUT if you find the right dealership«MANAHAWKIN KIA» that has the right salesman, «JEFF SMIT JR.»car buying can be a great experience. I came across this dealership online, I found the SUV that I wanted and requested more information about it. «Jeff» who has a voice for radio broadcast, contacted me the same day with the info that I wanted then followed up with an email that I could easily reference back to. So, after a few emails and a couple games of phone tag, we set up a date for me to visit Manahawkin Kia, which is 45 MILES away. Since«JEFF»already knew what vehicle I WANTED that included everything that I NEEDED, he had a Certified Sorento awaiting my arrival. «JEFF»went over the details of this particular Sorento then we were on the road for the test drive.. On the way back into the dealership, Another SUV caught my eye. I asked to see the second truck and a few minutes later I was on my 2nd test drive. The second SUV had everything you could dream of but had a few flaws for me.. older with more miles.. compared to the Sorento.. Newer, Low miles, Kia's amazing 100K mile warranty and FREE OIL CHANGES FOR LIFE! My decision was tough but luckily I had «Jeff.» We went over all of the pros and cons of the 2 vehicles but the decision was up to me.. I went with the Sorento that«Jeff»had orginally picked out for me. So not only does that mean that «Jeff» has good taste, he also knows his Kia's and his customers.«Jeff»was by far the best salesman I've ever interacted with. He's easy to talk to, with a funny, go with the flow type personality which made made car buying a breeze. I would absolutely recommend «MANAHAWKIN KIA»to anyone who is in search of a new vehicle!! Ask for Jeff to find you the car, then ask for Mike Cagnano, the finance guy, to get you approved with a great rate. Also, make sure you speak with Dirk DeHooge in management. Being another easy guy to talk to, Dirk went over all of the fine details with me, answering all of my last minute questions. He also made sure the vehicle that I decided on had everything that I needed. Honestly, the whole staff at MANAHAWKIN KIA was so friendly and willing to help. The fact that they are always colleting items for the community makes buying from MANAHAWKIN KIA that much better. =) THANKS AGAIN JEFF, MIKE AND DIRK FOR SUCH A GREAT CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE!!! More
