Truly a painless experience. Victoria worked very hard on getting the right price for me. Chad was able to find a better rate than what I was expecting and Christopher for being honest and demonstrating on getting the right price for me. Chad was able to find a better rate than what I was expecting and Christopher for being honest and demonstrating a high degree of integrity. I will be a return customer. Brian More
I'm not your average car buyer. I've been around the block and have learned several things when it comes to purchasing/leasing vehicles. I also understand the lingo and tactics that salesmen are acc the block and have learned several things when it comes to purchasing/leasing vehicles. I also understand the lingo and tactics that salesmen are accustomed to using. I am the type of person that is willing to open and close down the dealership until I get my deal done the way I want it done. So, the experience I had at Mike Shaw KIA totally took me by surprise. I drove over 150 miles hoping that my car buying experience was going to be great. To my surprise, it was definitely worth the drive! I have dealt with dealerships and salesmen from Honda, GM, Ford, Dodge, Pontiac, Nissan, Chevy, BMW, Land Rover, and Toyota throughout the years of buying cars. Never did I ever expect to receive the 5-star treatment that I received at Mike Shaw KIA. I spoke with the internet sales person, Kala (Robin) Greer, prior to driving over to Corpus Christi. Everything we had discussed over the phone was exactly as she had stated it was. She didn't try the typical sales "reel 'em in" approach. She didn't even do the ole' "bait and switch", when we arrived at KIA. She was 100% honest and up front with every detail over the phone. Everyone we met at KIA had a big smile on their face and said hello. Even though the dealership was "busy" with activity, every sales person, secretary, and manager said hello and made us feel important. Normally when you enter the "den" of the sales department, a customer can tend to feel uneasy and ready for the "deal" to fight to the death! However, Mike Shaw KIA was different in every way. I never felt pressured to make the purchase at anytime. There weren't any "games" between the sales and financial aspect of the process. Everything was spelled out clearly in front of me. We also had the pleasure of meeting and working with Victoria "Tori" Hammond. She is the New Car Sales Manager. We both worked hard to get the price where it was a fair deal for both parties involved. No strings attached, no gimmicks, no fuss. She's a great spunky individual and has great stories to tell along the way. She takes pride in her product, her dealership, and her job. In the finance room we had the pleasure of working with Chad Payne to finalize the paperwork. He's a very nice guy and is definitely down to Earth. He's the kind of guy you want to go fishing with and turn on the grill while you kick back and just hang out. He was very thorough and patient in finalizing the financial aspect of the sale. At the end of the sale, Kala Greer walked us through all the amenities and technological aspects about our "new" car. She was extremely thorough and was ready to answer every question we threw her way. I hope everyone who is looking for a fair and comfortable deal in South Texas will give Mike Shaw KIA in Corpus Christi a try. I had the best car buying experience I have ever had. I will definitely be recommending several of my friends to visit this dealership in the future. There was only one thing I forgot to do before leaving the dealership........I forgot to hit the big gong they have in front after making my purchase!!! Thanks to all who I had the pleasure of working with that evening. More

I feel that the whole world should know about my experience at Mike Shaw Kia.

From the first phone call I received from Kevin Martin, He went out of his way to make my car buying experience a comfortable one. He was very polite. Very attentive to my every need.

Every roadblock I encountered, he had the answers to help me clear the path. I walked into Mike Shaw Kia, thinking I would leave there with a big let down. Kevin made sure that I left there with a smile on my face and a Beautiful new car. The rest of the staff who helped me were equally friendly and helpful. Everybody wished me Happy Birthday. I went there on November 21. I really got a kick out of "Banging The Gong"when it was all over. Thank you Kevin,and Mike Shaw Kia. More

Mr. James, Too often people seem too quick to complain Mr. James, Too often people seem too quick to complain about an unpleasant experience and too slow, if ever, to commend a wonderful one. I would Mr. James, Too often people seem too quick to complain about an unpleasant experience and too slow, if ever, to commend a wonderful one. I would be remiss if I did not write to tell you about just such an experience I had at Mike Shaw Kia in Corpus Christi. From the time I called the dealership for pricing to the timely way I was called back, I felt at ease. Monica Semuda (Sales) was friendly and informative. She never once made me feel (as I have at other dealerships) that I was just another customer in a long list of customers. I never felt hurried or harassed. Victoria Hammond (Floor Manager) made my wife and I feel at ease immediately and when the Sorento I wanted was not in stock, worked ceaselessly to locate one. She kept us informed throughout. It was also a pleasure to meet Mike Andruzzi (General Sales Manager). I found him to be, not only friendly but informative and helpful as well. Being in business myself, I know how difficult it is to find someone to manage the many aspects of the business and still keep focus on the customers and their wants and needs. Believe me when I say that he has a rare gift. Last but not least, Golden Gonzalez (Business Manager) made sure that I understood the entire financing paperwork. He answered my questions, allowed me to see how certain changes would affect my monthly payment and/or interest payments. He made sure I understood that entire process. After all was said and done, my wife told me, “This is the most pleasant car buying experience we have ever had in our 30 years of marriage.” I most heartily agree. Thank you for assembling such a great team, and thank you for this experience. I have already recommended and will continue to recommend your dealership in the future. Very truly yours, Daniel Luis More

Her follow up with me was the main reason I bought from her, she even had her manager (Victoria) give me a courtesy call, that really of her product.
