Pure and simple: I needed a new vehicle. I wanted a lease. I demanded a fair price and I wanted a deal that was: pure and simple. I did my on-line homework narrowing my selection to a KIA or Nissan. lease. I demanded a fair price and I wanted a deal that was: pure and simple. I did my on-line homework narrowing my selection to a KIA or Nissan. I e-mailed 4 dealers for each brand. I sent my very specific questions/requirements via e-mail and dealt with only the dealers who were straightforward, answered all of my questions and did not send me bloody spam CONSTANTLY about so much dealership bull yet never answering my questions. I chose the 1 Nissan dealer and the 1 KIA dealer who knew how to use e-mail. However, I did go to several dealers just for test drives. I still believe in testing the waters. In most of these other establishments I had to escape like a thief in the night as they are deaf to the words "No thank you" or "Not interested" But OK, now the good news...I met with Shirley at Wagner KIA and my first impression was how easy going she was. I told her what I was interested in and she NEVER tried to sell me anything other the my choice, the Soul+ We went for my initial test drive and she said “Drive” There was plenty of gas in the vehicle and she doesn’t believe in simply going around the block. So, we, indeed, went for a ride. 2 or 3 days later I wanted another drive. Shirley handed me the keys and said, “Take as long as you want”. I'll be here when you get back. My next impression was this - of all the dealers I had visited, not one salesperson could answer every question I had about the vehicle, with the exception of Shirley. This woman knows her product Shirley is a very personable, low key sales person who LISTENS. At no time did I ever feel rushed or pressured. As for Tonia, this woman can multi-task! She was so incredibly quick with e-mail responses and she answered my every question in her initial e-response. Although I am very techno-low, Tonia certainly knows how to keep her customers well informed which made me a happy camper. The haggling over price was painless. They knew what I needed and we reached the goal quickly. Just as the deal was to close, I hit a paperwork snafu, on my part, and then a personal family emergency. It seemed the deal was off. Much to my surprise, Tonia and Shirley worked with me and they held the terms of my deal for a couple of weeks until I could sort things out. I think of these two women as a rather dynamic duo. Shirley was excellent in introducing me to my new Soul from showing me every little item and even syncing my cell phone for me so that I could do the hands-free calling thing Obviously, I hope the KIA stands up as well as Shirley and Tonia did for me. My vehicle is very new and therefore I have not had to interact with service or parts or such, so I cannot attest to those services but as Shirley introduced me, they all seemed quite pleasant. At 58-years old, I’ve purchased a few cars in my time. I have never been this satisfied with the sales or should I say, lease experience. Thank yous to Ian for making the paperwork rather simple and to Brian for his help with registering/inspecting my Soul on delivery day. 5 STARS to Wagner's fine team. Yes, I have already recommended Wagner. Thank you for my Soul. More

Its tough buying a car. What is a good price? What is actual fact? Every manufacturer claims they are the best. What I liked about Wagner or specifically my sales person MR and the finance Guy Ian was th actual fact? Every manufacturer claims they are the best. What I liked about Wagner or specifically my sales person MR and the finance Guy Ian was their honesty. They took the time to understand my needs. They didn't try to push a cetain model. They were truthful in comparing Kia against other brands I was considering. For those facts I rated this dealership high. The sale was made ONLY as a result of the knowledge MR had and his honesty. Even Ian in finance was honest about what program were useful to me and which ones wouldn't sever me well. His honesty was appreciated and I didn't purchase more "extr protection" than I would need and/or use. I was extremely happy with the price and for the fact that the salesperson (MR) was not pushy and actually seemed to help guide me to the best deal. He was in fact intrumental in ensuring my deal was the best possible deal I could have gotten. The whole process was made smooth with MR's help and it was soley because of him and his forthright honesty that made this sale. I did shop around so I feel confident when I say this was the best deal and the best sales person one could ask for. It is for these reasons I scored Wagner high. The sales person (MR) went above and beyond even after the sale was complete. He ensured not only the sale but my confidence that I couldn't have done better. I have no personal ties to this dealership nor the sales staff! Dominic More

Sara - To date, the 'experience' is less than Sara - To date, the 'experience' is less than satisfactory. Purchase ... Our primary contact - 'MR' - was accomodating & helpful throughout the Sara - To date, the 'experience' is less than satisfactory. Purchase ... Our primary contact - 'MR' - was accomodating & helpful throughout the process. However, when it came to financing, sales management should have been more forthright in explaining those incentives that were available on this vehicle. When MR inquired as to term length, I responded with 'the longest' -- No one came back with any recommendations nor suggestions that a shorter term (in terms of interest-rate/payments) would financially be more advantageous. The overall differential in financing-costs between 6/7-years is significant. Delivery ... Upon arriving home, we noticed a 'hole' in the rear-bumper -- didn't consider it important till we saw other vehicles without it. Subsequently, spoke with 'MR' and arranged to stop-in for inspection ... The 'question' - Why didn't the 'delivery dept personnel' note it? Service ... 12/17 - Inspection revealed that it was a 'missing tow-hook cap/plug' on rear bumper; part was 'ordered' by Barbara [with delivery expected on/about 12/22-12/23]. Also, met with 'service' manager & scheduled the initial appointment for February. 12/28 - As we were not contacted - I called the main-number, followed the prompts to 'parts' ... NO RESPONSE - 15-rings, with no voice-mail connection. Re-called, spoke with the phone-receptionist -- I related my experience - She commented that it was a 'holiday period' & that departments were not fully staffed; She kindly took my contact information & advised that she would go directly to 'parts' & assured me that I would be contacted shortly. Close to 2-hours later, still no contact from 'parts' -- I called again, related my dissatisfaction, and was surprised to be redirected to 'MR' [not 'parts']. We had a discussion, & I also advised him of an issue with a 'broken seat-back latch' that we encountered that day. 'MR' advised that the 'cap/plug' part still had not arrived; & that we would be contacted when it came in. 1/4 - 'MR' called to advise that 'part' arrived & to schedule a visit for 1/6-morning (as it would only require 15-20 minutes to replace; & also to check the 'latch'). 1/6 - Due to appointment conflicts, my wife was unable to get there till late afternoon -- As it was to be a 'short, easy' visit, she did not call She was there over an hour -- The 'cap/plug' was replaced. However, the 'latch' was examined and 'supposedly' repaired - Fortunately, she 'checked' it before leaving - it still did not operate correctly. She spoke with the service-mgr, & then had to schedule another visit -- as the 'servicing mechanic' had already left work -- Also, the entire latch assembly had to be ordered. All said, the Wagner experience has not been wonderful ... And, with 'heresay' commentary from other customers and web-postings -- It's not unusual. More

I had a very bad experience with the service department recently, wrote a review here of my dissatisfaction and later spoke with Service Mgr Bob Feole. Mr. Feole was easy to speak with, listened to my conc recently, wrote a review here of my dissatisfaction and later spoke with Service Mgr Bob Feole. Mr. Feole was easy to speak with, listened to my concerns and complaints, and was willing to take the necessary measures in hopes of regaining my business at Wagner Kia. Mr. Feole refunded my diagnostic fee of $90 within about a week of our phone conversation, which I appreciated and was much more than I had expected. If I have a problem with either one of my two Kia's that can only be handled by a Kia dealership, I will return to Wagner Kia, only because they are the only Kia dealership local to me, and with that said, would deal with Mr. Feole directly. If I have a problem my local mechanic can handle, I will stick with the local mechanic. Unfortunately, despite Mr. Feole's fabulous efforts in regaining my trust, I still do not trust the service dpt to be honest in regards to any repairs I may need, as they quoted me $800 more than my local mechanic did and misdiagnosed the problem. If Mr. Feole stays at Wagner Kia and gets the service dpt in to shape and school them in earning the customers trust rather than looking to make as much money off of the customer as possible, then I'll be back. I think Mr. Feole has his work cut out for him, but I am optimistic that he will get them in to shape. Thanks Bob Feole for your excellent customer service. More

My husband and I had been looking at cars for quite a while and after several days of waiting for someone to call us back from another dealer we then decided to go to Wagner, which we found on the intern while and after several days of waiting for someone to call us back from another dealer we then decided to go to Wagner, which we found on the internet. We took a spur of the moment trip and spoke to Monsour Rad who was outside at the time, even though it was closing time at the dealership he stayed late to help us and take a test drive. We had our two year old daughter with us who was a little rambunctious at the time since it was past bed time. They gave her a balloon and showed her the toy section which was a huge success and she still wants to go back. We bought a new car that night and picked it up on Friday afternoon. Everyone at the dealership was very helpful and informative, we couldn't be happier about how smooth and quick everything went. I have already referred several people to Wagner Kia and we love our new 2011 Sorento! More
