I chose Cable Dahmer because I bought my first car from Cable Dahmer Kia in Lawrence Ks. My recent experience was Atrocious. The Sales person we were set up with Paulo Pita is the most dishonest person Cable Dahmer Kia in Lawrence Ks. My recent experience was Atrocious. The Sales person we were set up with Paulo Pita is the most dishonest person i have ever done business with. He asked us our budget and what we were looking for. We said a reliable vehicle for a family of 3 under 20,000. The first vehicle he showed us was 21,000. I thought ok I get it he wants to get the most commission we can afford. My phone was dying but I had enough life in the battery to search your webpage for vehicles and asked to see the Jeep trail hawk listed for 17,600. When we test drove the car we loved it and immediately decided to purchase it. When we were done with the financing paperwork. He brought us the paperwork and my partner and I were questioning the numbers we were looking at. Putting 4000 down and traded in our used Prius for 500 the total was showing 20,000 after the money down. When we asked Paulo how a 17,600 car was going to cost 20,000 after trade in he replied. The cost was 17,600 if we qualified for all of the rebates and out trade in was a 2023 year model or newer plus taxes. We debated and bought the car anyway because i needed a vehicle as soon as possible. Paulo then said he was going to fill the tank and asked if we wanted anything from the gas station. We watched him get in the jeep and drive off. He was gone for over 30 minutes. When he returned we went to sign the documents. None of which outlined the total cost that we could read. When we left the dealership with the jeep the gas light came on as soon as I hit the highway. I barely made it to the gas station! Paulo had taken the vehicle for a joyride on his lunch break and didn’t bother putting gas in it. When i called Paulo to ask him why he lied he said “ gosh my assistant was supposed to fill the tank, you can fill it up and bring in a receipt and we will reimburse you”. After which I was infuriated, so I took a closer look at the finances. He marked the vehicle up to 24500$ which is 9400$ over maximum bluebook value, In total our 17,600$ vehicle cost us 26500$ with tax plus the terrible finance terms with Ally put us at a 40% interest rate. We received several denied loan requests from another lender days later showing much better rates but were not informed of these requests. No document we signed showed the total cost of the vehicle. Though our salesman knew we could not afford anything over 20000$ When we came in with the receipt for the gas we spoke with the finance guy who we signed papers with. He knew nothing about the gas reimbursement so he tracked down Paulo. Paulo took the receipt and said his assistant would give it to finance and they would mail us a check. Now I already know that is a lie because Paulo doesn’t have an assistant and finance already was bewildered by the concept. After my complaint and reviews went through a sales manager worked with me to set the vehicle price back down to its original listed price and we refinanced based on that amount. I’m now much happier with my purchase. Granted paying full price should not really require so much headache and worry. I wouldn’t recommend buying a vehicle here unless you have great credit and know exactly how much you should be paying. More

If you like no pressure in car buying, then this is your place. Yucento was fabulous and very knowledgeable. 10/10. The only down side I can think of, is they didn't have my brand new car detailed throughly place. Yucento was fabulous and very knowledgeable. 10/10. The only down side I can think of, is they didn't have my brand new car detailed throughly (someone had been driving it). There was sticky stuff in the cupholder and a sandwich wrapper in the console compartment. They did take it back into the shop and have someone remove the sticky substance, but it was not gone thru and thoroughly cleaned. More

Since five stars is clearly not enough: • Mohammad Alabudy — ★★★★★★ • Salvador Lara — ★★★★★★ • Special recognition to Mr. J.B. Meyer — ★★★★★★ While the process did not start smoothly, the people Alabudy — ★★★★★★ • Salvador Lara — ★★★★★★ • Special recognition to Mr. J.B. Meyer — ★★★★★★ While the process did not start smoothly, the people who ultimately stepped in completely changed my perception of this dealership. People often use the phrase “above and beyond” loosely, but Mohammad truly earned it. As an out-of-state buyer, I had a number of specific questions, concerns, and expectations, and he spent a great deal of time making sure that all of my needs were addressed and that I was left with no unanswered questions. He was diligent, responsive, and fully committed to making sure I was comfortable with every part of the transaction. He also made sure that my car was detailed before it was shipped to me. I truly could not have asked for more. Salvador Lara was also extremely helpful throughout the process. He was diligent in assisting me every step of the way, and he even continued helping me while he was sick. That level of attentiveness and professionalism does not go unnoticed. There was also very special help from Mr. J.B. Meyer, who made sure the deal was completed properly and that I had no questions at all by the end of the process. Like Mohammad, he went above and beyond. His professionalism, patience, and willingness to step in and bring clarity to everything made a real difference. Although the starting point was rocky, these individuals ultimately provided a tailored approach to my needs and made sure those needs were met. That is the kind of service that not only ensures a transaction is completed, but also creates a lasting relationship. These exceptional few completely changed my perception, and I would go through this process again just to have met such remarkable people. From my perspective, these are the kinds of people who should earn not only your business, but also your trust and your relationship. At this point, I am simply waiting on my baby to be delivered to me. More

Worst car buying experience of my life. Asked for my trade in keys multiple times because I didn’t like the new vehicle. Never gave my keys back. Pressured me to take a car. Car is worth wa Asked for my trade in keys multiple times because I didn’t like the new vehicle. Never gave my keys back. Pressured me to take a car. Car is worth way less than my trade in. Steering wheel bounced around a wouldn’t go back into place. Had to bring the car back to get tires put on. Sunroof doesn’t work. Felt like I wasn’t listened to or valued as a customer. More
