They will say anything to get people in the door. If their mouths are moving, they are lying to you. I bought a car a year ago from them. Went back for another one. After confirming twice that the v More

The associates here are pushy, attitudinal, and lack sight of the customer's goal - only looking to put you into a brand new vehicle to meet their goal numbers. The dealership lacks transparency, make s More

We understand and empathize with the situation you are in. In our experience it is easier to trade out of large negative equity situations into a new vehicle than a pre-owned one, that is why we offered you a new vehicle. We did provide you with a completely transparent breakdown of how to utilize your preapproval on the vehicle you selected. We let you know to the penny what the down payment needed for that option would be as well. I apologize I didn't have time to personally spend with you that evening, but would be happy to schedule a time where I could help you understand all the figures. Respectfully, Dario Albarron General Sales Manager Bridgewater KIA

In your future experiences, you should listen closer to the customer’s needs and eliminate the prejudice. I closed a transaction the very next day with a USED vehicle and my same pre approval and was never once asked for my SSN. Keep the political responses.

Hello Olga, I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and am pleased to know that our Sales Team was pleasant to work with. I would, however, like the opportunity to speak with you about your overall car-leasing experience. Please send me your preferred contact information so we can discuss this matter in greater detail. Thank you, Dario Albarron dalbarron@bridgewaterkia.com
